From the Wiki:
Quote:Squad members are able to see and select drop uplinks of other squad members as a spawn point. If you're not in a squad, your uplinks may be used by all who also do not have a squad. The hacked drop uplink allows everyone in your team to use it.
Is this still the case? I was under the impression that everyone can use all drop-links no matter if squadded or not? |

Mhh its really frustrating as a logi to get basic informations on how exactly the equipment actually works currently in the game. As example the scanner "nearby" range or this droplink usage is not even mentioned in the "logi code" guide or other guides, let alone ingame help/infos.
All i want to know, is can squads spawn on my droplinks if i'm not in any squad, but guess getting reliably information in Dust Beta is to much to ask.
Thx Andy |

Make a squad, drop an uplink, see if anyone else spawns on it.
Sure, but until now it did not cross my mind they could work like this. Was just reading the wiki a bit and was surprised. I was even more surprised that this seem's to-be unknown, even after couple of months after "release". This should be common logi knowledge, but i cant get a reliably answer. Thats the same problem i have with my Active Scanner question. |

Found this quote from june, regarding DU:
Quote:They are no longer just for Sqauds. I have been spawning in on other teammates DU since this build.
This still don't fully answers my question, if squad members can spawn on none-squadded DU? |

I have the same impression, but i play none-squadded normally. So the wiki is outdated than it seems. |

Got this answer from a GM:
Quote:Drop Uplinks: If you are not in a squad, the entire team can spawn from your drop uplink. If you are in a squad, only your squad mates can spawn from your drop uplink. If you are in a squad and drop a hacked drop uplink, then anyone in the team can use it (thus generating more WP)
So since active scanners are only usefully if u are in a squad, but DU are most usefully without a squad there is some sort of conflict here... |
