Reduce Garage respawn timer

What does this suggestion change/add/remove: Reduces garage respawn timer

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?: Not sure.

Possible Positives of the suggestion: This suggestion would improve the experience of combat of members of SOP. This is because having to wait 20 seconds for a respawn while trying to combat on surface puts you at a huge disadvantage. This also adds more balance (hopefully) making it more possible for SOP to gain surface control.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion: More SOP responding to surface and fighting CI , giving them less of a chance to win on surface

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted: Having around a 15-20s respawn timer is way to much. Especially when both other factions can spawn back in pretty much instantly makes surface combat worse for SOP.

its like 10s with xk
For first couple deaths yes, but the respawn is made for combat, so deaths in a short period of time start to rack up. CI also get 0s respawn time for the first couple deaths, with only small increases for more deaths. System's literally rigged. Why else would the garage respawn be so high? Back spawn is against the rules, always has been (even if it was clarified only a couple months ago), it's only advantage is for surface combat, which just gives other factions an edge. Oh and, without XK, you're basically cooked, being like 30 seconds base last I remember.
 
And thus, CI backspawning sit rates rose by about 50%

I'd be more in favour of this if instances of backspawning weren't apparently really hard to prove - If there was a better way to get more clear evidence of whether or not backspawning occurred, I'd fully back this. But ATM, what I see here is just a massive Staff headache. Which is pretty unfortunate, honestly.

One thing I can think of is to disable the garage spawn for all DEA & Nu7 if there are any CI (exc. DC) below a certain Z value. But then that doesn't cover issues from garage to the lifts, plus metagaming concerns. It's a tough issue to crack.
