I stopped instigating hacks on red objectives long ago when I am lone-wolfing...
I should not need team support to successfully hack a point when I successfully infiltrated it ALONE, successfully killed all enemies guarding the point ALONE, and successfully destroyed all equipment at the objective ALONE.
And nevermind that spawning on objectives almost entirely kills the need for uplinks in skirmish. |

I love how people always bring up CoD. Here's a hint: It is irrelevant, and completely unrelated to anything that I said. But since you brought it up, I have never once played it. So I have no idea how CoD "is."
Now, if you would like to continue to spout random sentences that contains no value, that is your prerogative. I, however, urge against it, as it is not productive in the least.
As for working alone in a team game... Well, I take it you've never played as a scout, a minja, or a Minmatar speed hacker. They often need to work alone to do their job.

Ok:
"Really?" No. I don't love it. Sarcasm.
"How odd." No, not really.
"Wonder why[?]" Doubtful. As you already know, as do I.
Now, as to the actual topic that some people seem to be ignoring:
Evidently, some don't realize that you can be a member on a team or a person in a squad, and do certain things ALONE in order to help your team.
To make things clear:
Large battle at objective [A].
Me, in a Minmatar Logi, speak with my TEAMMATES with my mic. We decide that because of the large battle, enemy defences at point [C] on the other side of the map will be lacking. So my TEAMMATES decide that due to the big battle, they have to stay and defend [A], but send me to point [C] ALONE, as they can only spare one person. I go ALONE, avoid enemy detection, arrive at [C] ALONE, destroy the uplinks, flux the REs, and kill the enemy or two there. I then begin my hack. ALONE. Because it should be just a one person job. But it is not, due to the stupid "spawn-on-objectives" mechanic that should not be in the game.
Now, sorry for being ALONE, doing what is beneficial to my team, and using these things known as TACTICS. I guess that means I like CoD, and have a "ME ME ME"-mentality.

After you killed those guys around the objective where in the world did you think they were going to spawn? Obviously they would be selecting the nearest objective trying to till who ever was around. You. You got caught because of your bad timing, and your arrogance in thinking just because you killed a couple guys solo that they would never spawn right back in and shoot you in the back. Never solo hack an objective after killing the enemy unless you are faster than the spawn timer. Mini logi gets 5% bonus , hacking skill is a 5% bonus, plus codebreakers...
This is rather amusing. I know exactly where they will spawn, and why they will do it. Read the thread. I specifically said I DON'T DO IT ANY MORE. Specifically because of the situation I described in my last post. And heck, Sometimes a completely DIFFERENT enemy spawns in on the objective I hacked just because they see it blinking. Sometimes my hack is 100% done, and a random enemy STILL is able to spawn in.
Yes, I can take more measures to mitigate the possibility that situations like that of which I described previously will happen. And I will take those measures once I have the SP.
BUT...
To make things clear as I possibly can: I simply agree with the premise that there should be NO spawning on objectives... Because it DEVALUES uplinks, and even CRUs. It DEVALUES the use of tactics. It makes the game too forgiving.
Agree or disagree all you want with that premise.
