There should be a downed state for a few seconds so close by team mates can revive you. If that fails then you transport.

Leave some fun to the mobs 
But srsly it feels even more awkward than corpserunning and cloning. Even it's just a game, I like when the Life&Death concept is still there. If you're screwed - accept your demise. And after being cloned you still remember that you got fked
As I stated above - cloning is the most logical and right way to explain your char's respawn in sci-fi kind of games. No need to "discover the continents again".

Frame comes equipped with stasis field. Upon mortal injury, we are given the choice to either wait around for someone to arrive and patch us up, or we can teleport to a nearby medical facility.

You know, back in 2013 at Omnicom (Arsenal launch) Red5 gave a more or less explanation about what happens when pilots die...
"(...) The Omnidyne-M molecular printer has been printing trial Arsenal battleframes as fast as it can manage, empowering newcomers to roll immediately into combat. Some of these recruits are so green, it makes a grown man like myself wince seeing them charge off bravely into the thick of it, knowing they've yet to feel the sharp burn of being genetically reassembled. I've adopted the rather macabre practice of guessing how long a new recruit will last in the Arsenal before I see them at the repatterning station next to me. (...)"

corpse running gets old. Especially if the map is big. Even if you have vehicles.
I like the thought of a stasis field for a buddy to rescue you or your medevac insurance to kick in. Here's a thought for the monetization. included in your basic program purchase is
a basic medevac/teleport plan.
For a fee, you can upgrade your medevac package for faster response/repair and a higher fee get additional options on your resuscitation locations. Make the basic microtransaction a number of uses. then it reverts back to unlimited basic. also have an annual higher option. Also have a way to earn in game additional uses.
Maybe a StakeHolders(tm)(you can have that Mark) perk as an unlimited option. Depending on the price of the StakeHolder or the Settlers package.

Agreed, as long as the method of revival does not include standing over the downed individual and waving the hand in a "Come on, get up!" sort of fashion. To my knowledge, no one has ever been brought back from the brink of death using that method.
It might be better if perhaps our battle frames were equipped with some sort of emergency defibrillator or syringe full of magic liquid that we could use on others instead of merely fanning our hand over them.

What about deployable respawn nodes. It could be a medical crafting item players could make and then place at the edge of a battlefield. This would keep the shooting to a maximum and the walking back to shooting at a minimum. The node would work for anyone on your team and it should be moderately expensive to make. It would basically work like a checkpoint in a single player game. The nodes can also be destructible so you don't want to place them right in the middle of a fight.

Not that I am aware of. My wife says I can be a bit like Walt from Gran Torino though.
Oh and can you imagine how useful those #'s would be. Hey, NitroMidgets #6031 wants you to know that the water will kill you, instantly.
NitroMidgets #5021 wants you to know that creature will require more people to kill.

Well if guilt is what you're after and you REALLY want a burden of death , how about a death penalty? I'm not talking about merely the time it takes to re-spawn and get back to the battle. I'm talking about a real penalty, like a loss of XP might do.
That's if guilt and burdens are what you are really aiming for, that is. Simply re-cloning a copy of me isn't going to make me feel any guilt or burden.

@Dubbelklik XP is a vertical progression mechanic, really hope there is not even a hint of XP in Ember.
Xp is a progression mechanic. It can just as easily be used to unlock new sidegrades in a horizontal progression system as it could be used to unlock upgrades in a vertical progression system.
Though I know Grummz was considering using resources to unlock things instead of xp. It will be interesting to see what he decides on.

Putting a quantity on death like reducing a currency or progression is bad. When your character dies you feel anger because you lost something you worked for, that is just straight up punishing the player. What I wanted was for the player to have a connection and a sense of responsibility towards the character he plays. If a character dies then the player should die a little on the inside as well.
Whenever a clone dies in starwars then he doesn't re spawn as another clone, no he is just dead, end of story for that character. That is what I propose, you play as a mercenary clone on adventure with a death-whish to terraform another planet. You do quests, interact with other people and build relationships when suddenly you die on the battlefield, end of story. Another clone inherits your stuff, face, voice and memories and now you play as that new clone.
