Respawn Screen: separate new and existing spawn points

A usability question about the respawn screen on multiplayer servers:

Is there a way in the UI to distinguish the types of respawn points?

  • The respawn pod that is generated and given to the spawning player (and that potentially replaces a previous pod.)
  • Player-owned survival kits that are shared with faction/all.

The problem is that new players don't know which one to choose. They want to have the choice to appear in someone else's base OR start with their own pod.

When you add to that situation that players can name their survival kit anything "official sounding", and that modded planets and modded default spawn pods can have any name, too, you see the confusion.

Is there a quick hint how to tell whether a respawn option generates a pod that I will own or whether it is an existing grid? E.g. you could draw a horizontal line and space spawn/drop pod/space pod could be first and below would be the list of player owned respawn points.

In this pic, the selected (custom) respawn pod happens to look like a player's rover, and the generic looking "Survival Kit" is in some factionless base.
