Egg spawn time

Quovatis

If I recall correctly, NS1 scaled the alien spawn timers by the number of players, so that in large games it spawns faster. I think that is needed in NS2. For small games up to 6v6, the current spawn timer is perfect. However, in 8v8 or 9v9 games, aliens have a hard time spawning with just one hive as the spawn queue gets quite large. Marines can always add another IP. Aliens must get another hive to spawn faster, which limits their options. So we either need a variable spawn timer ala NS1, or some upgrade the aliens can purchase to increase the number of eggs per hive.

Seconded.

NS2 needs quite a few things that scale with playercount including spawn times (aliens and marines) and res flow.

Thirded.

Spawn times can get pretty horrendous with these larger games.

Fourthed!

Spawning can be quite painful anything over 8v8.

Agreed 184 Egg spawn time is awfully slow and had lead to a number of annoyed rr ends recently

184 is the least played build on my end due to the egg spawn times and many other issues (fade, distress beacon, black screen, alien menu bug, commander structure placement, etc.)...
