Spawning/joining session

Hi all,

I was recently playing Day Z, not sure which number this particular incarnation of my character was and something infuriating occured. I have seen previous comments in forums saying how this particular event has happened to them but that was about as far as I seen the discussion go. So I would just like to apologise in advance if I have missed this topic/thread and am starting something that has already been addressed.

I was at the international airfield, I have spent days trekking there being cautious and vigilant and outfitting my character the best I could etc. I have died countless times before hand so I was proud that my dedication and learning to play was starting to give me something to show in return (progression). However, when I was at the airfield, after sneaking past and hacking many zeds I was just about to collect the spoils of my labour when someone spawned in behind me and immediately shot me dead. I was holding my hatchet (not that threatening to a man with an m4) and just getting ready to exfil, it was totally un-called for and in a way unfair.

My point that I am trying to make is that I am hoping in the future there is a way to negate this issue, this being an Alpha build it is obvious there is much work to be done. All I am saying is I hope there is a work-around for this problem as I have seen others encounter it and quite frankly I was devastated when it happened and don't see how anyone could be happy with that happening to them.

Thoughts? Maybe a limitation on them spawning within a certain distance to another player, say it automatically spawns them further away? I am not sure but obviously there must be a way to stop it from happening, maybe do not save location in congested areas (barracks, airports etc).
