Spkr4theDead Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 383	Posted - 2013.08.18 23:59:00 - [1] - Quote I remember uplinks use to work only for your squad, with a minimum amount of people, and only rarely would it glitch so that anybody could spawn on it. Now, it seems that's the norm, that anybody could spawn on them. I don't really have any reason to skill into them at all, so has anybody that uses them a lot noticed the change? Was it in previous patch notes?
Nocturnal Soul Immortal Retribution 473	Posted - 2013.08.19 00:04:00 - [2] - Quote I would like the uplinks to have that serious affect that it describes in the description maybe slow shield regain and 10% less armor when spawning on something the 10% can be reduced as you skill up say a proto would only have 2% or 5% in decrees in health

It's not good though if you're running in a squad and being serious about it, because they'll waste the spawns, get themselves found out and killed, and compromise your squad.
Oswald Rehnquist Abandoned Privilege General Tso's Alliance 134	Posted - 2013.08.19 00:09:00 - [5] - Quote I think if active scanners are going to be limited to squads, I don't see why the drop uplink shouldn't be as well. I use both as it is.
Sgt Kirk SyNergy Gaming EoN. 1189	Posted - 2013.08.19 00:12:00 - [6] - Quote I don't like the idea of uplinks not having any kind of penalty for it because what happens about the deployable CRUs we will have in the future. What purpose will those even serve if all everybody does is just uplink spam.
Viktor Zokas 187. 248	Posted - 2013.08.19 00:15:00 - [7] - Quote Just remove them. Uplink spam is a cancer to this game.

I hate them to but I don't think removing them wold be good. I think Dropuplinks should have a signal radius about them and uplinks can't be in each others signal signal communication radius or they don't work. The better tier uplinks you get the less radius the Uplink has and then the usual bonus uplinks have as you progress. That would definitely encourage strategic thinking in regards to uplinks besides SPAM SPAM SPAM.
LT SHANKS Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 405	Posted - 2013.08.19 00:23:00 - [9] - Quote I love uplinks. If ever I need to WP farm to reach the SP cap faster, I hop onto my basic logi fitting which has 3 types of uplinks on it.

I have a fitting with 4 deployable uplinks so that isn't a problem.

Good idea it would stop the map being coated with uplinks and it would stop those people who spawn on an uplink I placed in a good place from dropping an uplink on top of/next to mine. That really annoys me you put on uplink on say a roof and next time you look there's 5-6 uplinks up there and none anywhere else.

You should present that to CCP. Yea I know...Soon

You mean no penalty vs CRU, like the limited spawns counts, or easy destructibility?
Vin Vicious Capital Acquisitions LLC 261	Posted - 2013.08.19 02:37:00 - [17] - Quote I remember when you use to have to FIND uplinks Now these things are plastered across my mini map like blue and red skittles

Jadu Wen Xer Cloud Consortium 14	Posted - 2013.10.22 13:39:00 - [19] - Quote You should check out this thread on Using Radiation Zones to Curtail Drop Uplink Use. I think it's a novel way to recondition but not force players to discontinue uplink spam of objectives. Plus it creates a system for highly dynamic play.
