Not much PGI can do about it, apart from buff the Dropships.
Best way to stop it would be to work as a team.

Second of all, after we killed your first wave your team's mechs were sitting on top of the mountain shooting down on us (they were Emerald defense). That makes it more than fair game for us to get up there and stop you.
Third, do you kiss your mother with that mouth that you used to chat harass us?
Best of luck to you next time.

Second, it's absolutely stupid to make a spawn too well defended, people will just hide in it to wait the match out because they're too stupid to fight far enough from their spawn to be able to respawn and get to the action.
Third, get the fly **** out of your spawn and get moving, immediately in every match. Any map. You fight as close to the other teams base as possible, always and every time. If you're not doing that you're an absolute unmitigated idiot and are all but ensuring the other team is going to have to spawn camp you.
Fourth, spawn camping happens because there are respawns. As noted above regardless of what else you do whatever point you exit your spawn from and escape your magic hugbox shield is where the other team will shoot you. What you're really saying is you want an perfectly safe place to go hide when someone is beating you.
That's like saying using AMS is an exploit because people who chain fire LRM 5s can't hurt you. He can bring a better weapon, he can group fire, he can do a lot of things but no, no because he's an idiot about the game the person doing the logical response to his poor choices is exploiting?
It's not about 'git gud'. It's about 'wtf did you expect, you left the other team little choice because you were so terrible'.

You've gotta be aggressive, even on defense. Doesn't necessarily mean you always gotta push out on your enemy, but it does mean you gotta keep positioning for better firing solutions. Just remember that every moment you are hiding waiting for someone to expose themselves to your fire is a moment they can use to focus on an ally instead. You get too many of your team mates doing this, putting their mech an well being before the team, and you'll get focus fired down, one by one, until they're in your base and there's nothing you can do.
CW is more often more team based. Stop thinking like a pilot an think strategy. Most fights aren't won by better piloting and gunnery, but by better positioning an teamwork. Figure out where you need to be to make that work for you.
Just remember, you got four mechs. They are resources for you to burn. Try an protect them, and shelter them from harm an you will miss out on glorious oppourtunities to spend them well. Find that raggedy edge of 'aggressive enough to deal the damage,' without going into, 'too aggressive, an dying alone an unloved,' (Still a work in progress for me.)

.."unacceptable" & "non-negotiable"..
Who are you ... The Queen of England ?!
Every team that messes up a push or simply get body slammed
on any wave is getting spawn camped & farmed after this.
This goes for premade vs. premade teams all the way down
to simple 12 vs 12 pug teams .
It has been that way since the beginning of CW and it is the way the game is ..
What is there to complain or explain about it?

There is a balance that needs to be achieved between the ability to hide at spawn vs spawn camping. Right now I think the walls make both worse.
A feature that gives some form of advantage to a weaker (determined by tiers maybe?) or poor performing (losing the match at halfway?) team would make faction play more interesting. Need to set the criteria carefully so that it is hard to exploit.

That's actually not a bad idea. Maybe make it so you can wait for all of your lance to have dropped, and then start a timer.
I do agree with the OP, spawn killing is friggin INFURIATING!

If you are getting beat so badly that not only did they crush your 1st wave and have enough mechs left over that they could rush your spawn before you had enough mechs to push out but also were healthy enough that they could kill your second wave while getting targeted by your dropships, honestly I think them shooting you at spawn is the least of your problems.
Majority of the time in my experience however the reason for pushing into somebodies spawn is a result of one of two reasons.
1) The defenders or attackers are on their last wave and are down mechs, making it easier to just finish off the game by going in and killing them.
2) A team is refusing to move out of their dropzone or the defenders are using it as a defensive position. Resulting in either a free pass to just destroy the objective but I did not wait 20 minutes to get a game just to play shoot the generators resulting in me more likely just going up to your spawn and killing you were you CHOSE to defend from.

It would be immersion breaking to add. But gate the spawns with barriers/force fields that can be walked through but not fired through.
Remove skirmish so every mode has a win condition in case of spawn hiding
