please use them correctly... The amount of times ive spawned in on one to be facing a corner or a wall...
You spawn out of drop uplinks in the direction that you place one... So if your going to place it against a wall at least go to the wall and turn around, look down and place it... its really not that hard and only an extra 2 seconds to set it down correctly.

The walls no, but it is disorienting for it to happen in a corner, or better yet, maps with small corridors where people like to throw them. |

Sorry, you're going to have to deal with backwards but stealthier uplinks.
The other side of this coin, is that you want to place them in a position were a lone scout or an entire squad (you should not be spawning in on one if this is the case) isnt going to camp your uplink. against a wall/corner facing it is bad, at least if you direct it where your back is to the wall some scout cant just sit there behind you insta killing.
And "stealthy" deployables went away when active scanners became popular. |

Yes good point, facing away from blue MCC or towards objectives helps from being disorientated. |

You know what, in a skirmish game it isnt a big deal, but in Ambush, when it forces you to spawn on a drop uplink (even when clicking triangle for smart spawn) then its a big deal, facing a wall with people shooting at you. |

Hate to use the cliche, but if you can't put an uplink somewhere it's hard to find, you're doing it wrong. Obviously it's not possible all the time but if you consider the location of objectives and the range of scanners....
100-200m is really really far. So if your trying to stay somewhat close to battle, its going to be seen.

First of all even when your invis the reticle turns red when someone spawns and is standing there invis. And secondly when you then shoot said invis person, they immediately become visible. so just standing there doesnt do anything if people are aware of this and are paying attention. |

Well... if you ever dropped one, and then spawned in on your own uplink, i would hope you could put two and two together. |
