Apparently you can 16 up at any given time by a team (16 people, 1 uplink each) so if you were playing a game where everyone had an uplink it would seem very spam like. Or a crazy coincidence. The count also resets after you pop one, so they can always drop another. Plus people who have specialized can have more then one up at a time. I feel your pain. Domination turns into an uplink fest all over the one cannon. Lol so I made a militia fit scout uplinker and joined the fun.

My idea of a fix would be a limited amout for the whole team but I'm sure someone will yell at me for mentioning it.

Please tell me at what point I made an ignorant assertion? I said people who specialize can drop more then one. But if there were 16 militia uplinkers there would only be 16 on the field. And the counter resets. It shows your team and the other teams amount of uplink available in the deploy screen under the mcc hp.

Whatt you talking bout son?

Semantics... point still stands, PC matches revolve entirely around spamming uplinks and explosives.

See that's the problem right there. One person having the ability to make CRUs and Objective Spawns completely useless.

Uplinks are what make every PC match so boring. It's just uplinks, explosions, and a double serving of lag.

It is currently inefficient to use flux over AV simply due to the nature of the current LAVs.

Oh well i play pubs. our corp doesnt have enough members (nor the equipment) to go PC

Explosives? Grenades mostly... You can't say every other PC match we play is just locus nade spam all over each objective! Its pretty bad.

Uplink placement is important only cause you need to to continue to swarm objectives. It makes the games more action packed, which is nice. But tactics? Meh... just pick and objective, flood it with uplinks and spam spam spam.

Decrease the map visibility but put a hard cap of 3 active uplinks per person, same with nanohives. Uplinks are too rampant and, like a previous poster mentioned, make tactics worthless. The main "tactic" in PC is just: get high ground, uplink spam, kill enemy uplinks. Is it not? After that it's just who can explode the other team faster.

As far as explosions, you guys were great to play against cause it was actually challenging and fun because I was dying to something other than a nade or MD. Minus the locus Nades, most of TP actually consists of good gunmen which makes it interesting.

Ancient Exiles and Nyain San on the other hand... Talk about Mass Driver Brigade. Our game against them we ended up cloning them but the city was literally dominated by Nades and MDs. The killfeed was nothing but explosive weaponry. I've given up running ground in the city maps until I get my MD skilled up. You can't do anything against a squad of MDs running around flux + MDing everything in sight. When the tournament starts we'll see just how far corps are willing to go with the explosion spam.

Better solution would be to remove team spawning on uplinks in FW in PC altogether. That way we aren't forced to use imperial drop uplinks and the meta evolves into ensuring you have enough uplinks per squad, but too many just becomes irrelevant since only 6 people can ever spawn on them.

Diminishing returns on spam is the proper solution imho.

Easy fix to that... uplinks self destruct when you swap squads.

That is a balancing issue that extends to proto nanohives as well, they should either be left alone and be the 'lower price' variant or should be reworked to be unique in their own way.

I didn't say anything about relegating logis to 3 links on the field, I said make them all squad based.

If you want the entire squad spamming uplinks and losing their slots for other equipment that should be a viable tactic.
