Deploy location mechanics

[SeraphC]

Could anyone shed some light on these?

Sometimes I can deploy at any base owned by my faction. Other times I can only respawn at bases near where I died or hit redeploy. There are also times where the options seem entirely random.

Similarly the instant action option seems very random at times. Often I'll click instant action and find that there is at best one or two guys in the base overloading generators while I know there is a huge fight in some other territory where I couldn't instant action deploy.

Biolabs (at least Rashnu) are the worst. They can be attacked by a huge force and not give you an instant action deploy option or let you redeploy into their main spawn room (while you know all generators are still up).

It seems like Sunderers are the only reliable option to deploy somewhere.

Bump, still interested in finding out any of the mechanics that drive the list of available deployment locations.

To my knowledge it is a distance thing, you can only deploy within a radius to where you died.

This might be a factor, but it's definitely not the full story. I died on top of a Biolab once and it didn't let me spawn inside. Generators where up.

Also: like I said: sometimes I randomly get the option to spawn at any base we own.
