Event #S73617

My two unarmed transports had an enemy spawn just 35m away.  One of my cars got away, but the other was captured.  The driver survived.

based on the position of the enemy car, that's an ambush, and it can happen.

Not a bug.

Maybe, but I've had it happen several times on that specific map and not on any other.  I started another thread on it about a week ago.  It was the exact same map and it's happened to me 2 or 3 other times on that same map in the past week, but not on any other.

This is the first time, however, that I wasn't able to get both cars away.

Relatively new scout (~25).  However, I've had squads (this and others) ambushed on other maps and they didn't appear this close, you're also the first I've seen mention ambushes being an exception to minimum spawn distance.  According to Sam, in this thread, the minimum spawn distance was to be 150m, no matter what.

Looks to me like your speedo is at 20 - which is also a sure sign of an ambush.

Okay, but are ambushes supposed to be exempt from minimum starting distances?  That's not the impression I got from Sam's post over in the thread I linked to earlier.  It's the 5th post in the thread.

I know not whether or not there is a minimum for ambush spawning, though I doubt it - and have had pirates spawn very very close indeed on them.

Ambushes have been an exception for the entire time I've been here (since June or July). The enemy will always spawn OUTSIDE your placement circle, but otherwise you don't know where nor how close.

I'm pretty sure there is no limit on how close they can spawn, as darth said we have had them spawn inside the circle, me and mike had them spawn 10 meters from us. All luck of the draw really.

Quitcherbitchen about close spawns and use better scouts!

If you have NO scout or one under 40 skill.... The chances are higher that you will spawn closer to the enemy!

ALSO......... Look at WHERE you spawn in the purple circle...
It will give you a hint where the enemy will appear!..... Did you spawn on the road?... More than likely they (enemy) will spawn behind you. (Ambushes and Bounty hunts don't apply to my "road Spawn" theory)

JD as darth said we had a 252 scout and still got guys spawning in circle, so scouts mean nothing to me.
