one word.
WAH
1) mediums and lights will both be killed at spawn at the same damned rate if heavies are camping the base. therefore, what difference does it make at this point?
2) so you'll have to spend 2 minutes to reconfig your quickfavs. another WAH goes here.
3) bases will be up alot, or they wont be. its tribes. if they're up, who gives a flying fuck about spawning in light?!? if they're down, most tribes players, from day 1, have preffered to spawn in light, with the greater mobility granted to them, rather than medium. movement > 25 health.
4) its not some personal agenda, its not a fucking mod. its the way tribes has been, forever, and its the way this game should have been made as well.
any other issues why NOT to spawn in light?
