If you screw with uplinks now, you take away the most unique part of dust. For those who dont like uplink spam. Just stop spawning at them. Besides one OB wipes the area clean!!! |

Uplinks are an excellent part of the game and add a great depth to properly formed tactics. But Uplink spam is a problem. A simple solution is to force a separation between Uplinks, as this makes removing them more important, viable and worthwhile whereas currently there can be so many in a given area that it is neither practical nor possible to remove them before the enemy is back on your position and actively preventing you from denying their Uplinks.
As is, Uplinks are an important part of Dust, but they need to have a handle such that they are important but not overwhelmingly in favour of the one entrenched team as they are currently. |

I would hardly say uplinks are unique.
This.
And this.
I think you get the idea.
Same thing, different name.

Uplinks shouldn't be touched, especially now that there is compensation for destroying them. Spam is this game's way of establishing a beachhead. It's a legit tactic and you should absolutely be pissed that it's hard to root out. That's exactly the point. |

I stand corrected!! Uplinks are still important to this game as they are. If I didnt get so many wp's from logistics I wouldn't play anymore. I suck being a slayer. Also the spam can be fixed without touching the functionality of equipment. It's a bug that allows spamming them. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=108231&find=unread |

The only thing about uplinks is that they take jobs away from LAV's, dropships and especilly the upcoming MAV's. There's no need to transport troops from a spawn point to the fight when you can just spawn where the fighting is.
Though, I still agree they shouldn't be changed too much. Maybe make it so you can't drop them within 5 to 10m of another to help with uplink spam. But that's the most that should happen. |

I used to hold this opinion too, but decided that runing a regular bus route from the spawn base to the battle front would be a pretty boring job.
Dropships would still be useful for leading an assault on an enemy objective where you didn't have any uplinks of your own, and the role of assault drop pilot is a lot more exciting. |

I'd say the only change that should happen is that every uplink should jam every other uplink in a 20m area that has a lower meta level. That'd stop the worst parts about uplink spam and open up a new avenue for countermeasures against equipment.
A cool variant could be an uplink that doesn't actually spawn troops, but it can disable any uplink in a 40 meter radius so the defending team has to scan it down and destroy it so they can use their uplinks again. |
