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

Again you lead back to CCP having introduced uplinks with no purpose. What purpose would having imperial drop uplinks ever serve? Alloteks take up less room, guaged have more active, flux have less spawn time, and quantum have more spawn, imperials would be pointless.

The fact that CCP introduced the amount of uplinks they did at proto level lease me to believe they were correctly antipcipating these sorts of tactics. I am against relegating logi's to only having 3 links on the field. This is simply absurd.

All that this would encourage is 10 people running proto links, albeit in most likely less strategic areas. You get the same problem until you hard cap uplinks, which is a joke.

Uplink spam is much better than having random spawns or team spawns on objective based maps like Halo when maps are this big.

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.

It wouldn't be any more of a viable tactic than a logi sacrificing his equip slots for his equips....respawn and you get the same equips you normally run.

I didn't quote whale but answered his sentiment in the same post.

So to your point Zdub I'd have 3 logi's one for each squad and the uplink spam stays the same. Sure they would have uplinks in different places around the obj's however better to uplink spam in the city regardless if a logi's squad is home point bound because covering your bases...

Not quite that simple anymore now though, yes you would bring 2-3 logis in... which is what you bring in PC in generally anyways, but now positioning of those uplinks changes the whole meta. If you can wipe out the uplinks pertaining to a squad you can block their ability to spawn around an objective... right now.. as long as even a single uplink exists the entire team can continue to spawn on it. You need to think about where and how you are going to place those uplinks. Want uplinks on the tower with the forge sniper? Gotta bring his squad's logi not just any ol uplink. It makes it where you need more teamwork, coordination, planning, and tactics when its squad uplinks only. And if you want to have 3 logis dedicated to uplink spam, then that should be a viable tactic. As those logis are spamming uplinks and not doing anything else. This also gives a reason for most of us to carry other uplinks instead of imperial. I can only run imperial and no other uplinks because they are the only team based links. This gives me the chance to be more creative with my fits and swap uplinks for the situation.

I'm already running lower tier guns and HP mods to fit better equipment while having some survivability, do I really need another disincentive to being in the front supporting my squad and/or risking solo action to place uplinks in flanking locations? I mean really, if they did this I'd just run all uplink fits, spam away then hide out of danger till enough popped to justify replacing them.

This is a bad suggestion and you should feel bad for making it. This essentially means anyone who deploys uplinks for his team then has to cower in the corner so he doesn't get shot. Selfish players already equate logis with personal servants who are supposed to follow around and tend to their every need. Now you want to force them to hide from all danger in order to keep their equipment on the field. Stop thinking AR-514 and embrace other play styles.
Greasepalms Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 167	Posted - 2013.08.12 22:17:00 - [74] - Quote I think it should offer somekind of disadvantage when compared with CRU spawns. IIRC, the uplink's description mentions something along the lines of it's users suffering excruciating pain as wells as being exposed to high levels of radiation. As such it should, say, reduce one's stamina pool or some other kind of health condition.

Yes uplink spam. I can drop 9 proto links on my favorite PC fit. And then when I die I come in with allotek proto and drop 2 more. That's 11 by myself. All proto. Welcome to my nightmare, it's my job, and you won't win with uplink spam if you face a good team. I feel your pain.
