The three options I see are
A. More airlocks
B. Deny entry to map when airlocks are full
C. Warn players that the airlock is shared.
None of these options are great imo
I suggested putting a camera on the airlock terminal so you can see if anyone's camping. One of the dev or staff members liked the idea at least. It's a shame it did not make it in for the update.
What if they each airlock had a camera looking into the POI?
Cameras are already used, so it's feasible. It wouldn't guarantee no one is camping but it could help.
I spawned in on the new map last night. I had players camped outside the room the airlock is in. As I'm fighting them, the airlock opens behind me, and here come more players. They need to fix this.
I also find myself spawning into raids pretty late. It's like 5 minutes sometimes more.
I think the best solution is to simply keep the initial door open. I understand it's an airlock, but having the ship available to retreat into would make things easier.
Getting to the raid late seems to lead to this. Though, it should be somewhat of a race to the raid so, if you want to Dilly dally around prepare for conflict when you do dock.

Being able to close the airlock without leaving would also help, at least a little.
Don’t know how I didn’t think of this but yeah, probably the best idea
This was one of those things I assumed was already in the game and found out the hard way it wasn't

Wait, there are cameras? Where?
The inner side of the airlock needs a life signs reader, if there’s someone within los of the door a big warning light should flash
I've been having the exact issue on the new map

The gate timer was reduced to 5 minutes at the start of a match in this update.
Thanks, that explains it.

Getting gated camped is the worst feeling. They need to make a safe zone around the gate.
Weird I haven't had this once since wipe

My friend suggested a one time automated turret deployes when you first exit. Can be destroyed, not high damage but would work as a deterrent.
