I see numbers when I press the map key … they seem to be on individuals …
Your random squad mates. They also act as a moving rally point.
In lone fighter mode I do not have squad mates there are others on my team they have numbers some do not the numbers are 2, 3, 4 or something - they are other teammates playing Lone Fighter - maybe I am not grasping what you are saying - what do you mean by rally point …
The game divides players into small groups. So those numbers are the people who are with you in such group/squad/something like this.
You can respawn on those teammates in the same way like you can respawn on rally point. Just click on the number above their position in the respawn menu and choose them as a respawn point.
Ok thanks
