just tossing around an Idea in my head. wanted some feedback before I sent it to [requests]
so in my head the scout is an infiltrator. they are light, fast, and stealthy. we are not carrying around a super computer and we aren't hackers. they are able to deal with small pockets(1 or 2 enemies) of resistance but aren't frontline fighters. they get behind enemy lines and perform disruptive actions.
The blops uplink wouldn't be exclusive to scouts but scout suits would reduce it's cpu/pg cost. while the uplink wouldn't be exclusive to scouts using it on other suits would dig into their tank (it would take a lot of cpu/pg).
what is it?
blops uplink is a rapid deployment solution for putting mercs behind enemy lines. it has a tiny scan signature perhaps only picked up by line of sight. and very fast spawn times.
STD: 5 sec spawn timer
ADV: 3 sec spawn timer
CPX: 1 sec spawn timer
thoughts, ideas, critiques? |

I was thinking about the low spawn count thing myself and wouldn't object to it, though my numbers were in the 8-12ish area |

And have the "Hacked Drop Uplink" (which is invisible to hostile TACNET systems) an ISK variant
But they need to have something like higher CPU?PG fitting requirements, less spawns per unit and/or you can only carry one to keep them balanced with normal drop uplinks.
higher cpu/pg is addressed in the op, scouts suits would have a bonus reducing the requirements but compared to other uplinks the requirements would be high, and though nonscouts could use them it would take some of their tank away to do so. |

Mmmm, the reason I layed it out like that is that while not being scout specific it is meant for scouts. this wouldn't be your go to uplink, putting it on a normal suit would have unwanted repercussions. being a specialized peice of equipment for scouts would sort of balance it's overall OPness. am I wrong in that thought?(genuinely curious) |
