Respawning at base

[jacko (DayZ) 1]

Returning player here - been having loads of fun with the survival aspect of the game, but have I've been wondering about respawning.

I'm sure there has been plenty of discussions about bases and respawning, but I was wondering if there has been any official word on respawning in other places than the designated starting areas? 

With base building taking shape it feels like a natural step that you'd be able to spawn there as well, like other similar survival games - if that is the intention from the developers. I can see argument both ways, but I've yet to see anything specific from the devs regarding it.

I like the idea of respawning at your base, but only in the case of returning to your home server from a different server. For example, your buddies on a different server want your assistance in a raid; you help them, then log back to your original server, and, thanks to an item you may have crafted, you are now inside the safety of your base. 

If you die, then you should have a one-way ticket to the beach, no questions asked.

The thing is ... there is no such thing as "your base" unless you are using mods. Vanilla structures have no such properties tho, meaning anyone can come and continue building or dismantle any structure you have built. So how can we restrict the respawning only to you? How can we make sure that other people don’t respawn into your base?

Also what even constitutes as a base in the first place? How many tents / walls you need to have before it is a base? 

Having such a system is just plain stupid and would make the game even more easier, and most likely less friendly to base building if you can exploit the respawning and turn it to a raiding tool.
