First off, I beleive that a future patch mentioned reducing the splash radius significantly for the FG's to counter a lot of this problem.
Second, I have to agree that if players can find an advantage in terrain or otherwise, then it is a valid tactic. That's what your brain is there to be used for, so stop complaining about another's ingenuity and start thinking of either how you can use the same for your advantage or ways to counter it.
To counter lots of equipment spamage (ie. drop uplinks) I use flux grenades. They get rid of them fast. Additionaly, if you have EVE support, an EM strike from small projectile guns in EVE has the LARGEST blast radius for an orbital and will also eliminate all uplinks just like a flux grenade does. What's more fun is it won't kill anyone as it only gets rid of shields, so if you are defending an objective you can call this one down on yourself and it eliminates all the enemy's nearby spawn points.
As for stuff haning out on top of towers, again use your orbital strikes.

Excuse me but what ISN'T a valid tactic?
If it's able to be done (and not specifically called out in the EULA) then it is a viable tactic in this game. Look to EVE Online for what I'm talking about. Meta *is* a valid part of this game. Using intel gained on your opponents at the local coffee shop is a valid tactic. Reading your enemies whine about stupid stuff in this forum and then doing even more of it to them to break down their souls and wring out their tears is a valid tactic. You need to open yourself up to the almost infinite possibilities for what can be done with this "environment" that CCP has given to us to mold, shape, and use to our own ends.
In short, take ownership of it, or it will own you.

Ouch! Your misunderstanding of how physics works is hurting my brain.
But in the end it's just a game. Gameworld physics != real world physics.
