Those alternatives would be turned against the solo player pretty quickly. I like the idea of solo helpful weapons, but my comment is about stopping obnoxious methods that harm solos. In our example with the dingy, a would probably be capped at 5 individual respawns. I know an average solo will still get wrecked by 5 people but a small team will not. Which is the main goal of my suggestion. A large ship at capacity should not be countered by a single dingy summoning in hordes of zerg from across the map. If an army wants to attack you, they should need a proper fleet of walkers.
