EDIT: This idea requires that aliens spawn in bursts.
Idea caught my mind on reading the "top 5" post in general.
While in the spawn queue, select another teammate (also in the spawn queue) to spawn with. On execution, the hive will check if you have a group of friends to start with. If you do, it will put you in the world at the same time. Otherwise, it will just pair you up randomly.
You could even do another logic layer between those two. First check for ingame-defined players to start with, as above, then check for people on your friends list who are also ingame and in the spawn queue on the same team, and then if you had not in any way indicated who to spawn with, just start people out randomly together.

This is a really good idea as I know what it means, but you just ruined your great idea with a fairly weak and unclear first post. Act like you are selling it to the community, and in particular the developers.

...but PLEASE edit that pilot post for the love of kittens man!
(what he means that aliens spawn in group "bursts" as a opposed to single file pops-of-insta-death when a hive is being attacked or spawn camped; like auto squad formation with a dual purpose)
Harrower, fix your thread please.
...I'm not "selling" anything to this retarded community. I'm posting it here so Flayra will have another idea he can think about putting into his game.

And <i>"posting it here so Flayra will have another idea he can think about putting into his game"</i> <b>is</b> selling your idea, you idiot. Don't insult people who haven't done anything to deserve it, it makes you an ######.
Hardly useless. It makes it much more dangerous to just rush in there. You can't aim at multiple targets at the same time, especially when they spawn in at random locations.

"defined friend groups" is not wave spawning, whilst it may be a subset. General wave spawning is an entirely different point of discussion but it's hardly a new idea.
giant pack of aliens spawning at once > one sg camper that would normally kill one at a time as they spawn.
[newtopic]
Ok. Wave spawning sounds pretty good as it can reduce the amount of spawn campers. [/newtopic]
Good idea.

Im with x5 on this one, what kind of feedback do you suspect if you call the community retarded? Devs might look in here for well discussed ideas, but wont read trough every single post with something in them, especially badly formed first posts.
