So thanks to 1.4 we've got auto aim. This has increased the frequency of death and gear losses, which is resulting in massive losses in ISK. And to add to this reality we now have equipment restrictions that hurt WP opportunities for support logis and therefore hurt our ability to earn decent ISK. Come on, CCP! You're killing the logi bros! Support play is a thankless job and it's starting to become expensive.
Make uplinks team-based again and get rid of this auto aim! |

I don't think so.
We're not talking bacon here, bub. You share your nanohives with your entire team, don't you? |

The points still pop up as team spawn, but your squadmates are the only ones who are able to spawn. If you're not in a squad then only people who are also not in a squad are able to spawn from your uplinks. |

This is absolutely true. Go into a pub match and switch squads throughtout the match. You'll clearly see that uplinks will appear and disappear on the map as you pop in and out of squads. See an uplink? It means you're in a squad who has a player who dropped one. Switch squads and see the first uplink disappear? Yeah, it means you can't spawn on that squads uplink now.
As someone who used to regularly score 3,000+ WP a round without a single kill, I promise you this is how uplinks work now. The same exact playstyle gets me around 1,500 WP and it's because far fewer points are coming from spawns. |

As a one man squad, your uplinks may have somehow been eligible for the other nonsquad players in the match. Believe me when I tell you that uplinks aren't working like before. I used to have a nonstop flow of +25 team spawn notices bombard my screen, but the uplinks are now squad only and my WP is way lower now.
Again, just go into a pub match and squad hop. You'll see uplinks appear and reappear as you scroll between the squads. |

Prior to 1.4, the uplinks were definitely team-based. |

I can't speak for the possible differences between pub and pc matches prior to 1.4. Pub matches were definitely producing way more spawns than they are now. |

More of you guys need to test out the squad hopping thing and see what I mean. Something is off about uplinks. |

Maybe that's the key to the whole thing. It's not that you can't SPAWN on them, you just can't see them from orbit unless you are in the squad. It's the change from team vision to squad vision that's causing this. Have to say I like that idea a whole lot better than nerfing uplinks to be only squad based. At the very least ADV links or better should be available to the entire team.
But don't active scanners only show enemy players and enemy gear on the battlefield? It's not like a scan will uncover all of your teams own uplinks, right? |
