I've read differing information on uplinks being limited to squad-only.
Some places, it says uplinks are limited to squad. but then other places say that "drop uplinks" are usable by the entire team.
Does that mean just the uplink genericly named the "drop uplink"? Or does it mean that all uplinks are now usable by the entire team, rather than just limited to squad?

All deployed uplinks are able to be used by everyone. In the past, deployed drop uplinks were only able to be used by squadmates unless you were not in a squad. It was changed due to public uproar, written off as a bug and/or not working as intended.

They are all for use by the entire team, which was supposedly a bug they just left in, like he said. It was a weird disincentive to be in a squad anyway.
I'll have to add that to my uplink guide (What a great opportunity to plug it shamelessly), I totally forgot about that controversy a few months ago.

Mm.... might be nice for them to provide an explicit squad-only varient, though
i have come across a few situations, where i really DONT WANT random blueberries spawning, and screwing up certain strategies.

Uplinks are for the entire Team, not just your squad. However I would like to see an Option for Squad Only.
Vote me for CPM1, A Conduit for change

There have been also a request to change the color of deployed squad mate nanohives and uplinks to green so it was easier to tell which is a team mates and which is a squad mates. However, we have no confirmation that CCP has ever seen the request, acknowledged the request, or will ever implement the request.

Problem would be the exploiters. Same set who sit at a redline and farm WP by supplying from a dozen nanohives.
Bigger issue would not be the WP farmers but the spawn uplink griefers.
Imagine a squad of one hitting the maximum number of spawn points all at the supply point in the redline. Or even spread out in good positions. Only one person can spawn at the uplinks as the rest are inactive.
So I suggest an upper limit of say one or two uplinks dedicated to a squad that don't count towards the active team limit. Might want to tie the knot and make it if you are running squad uplinks you are on a different link infrastructure to the team... So you can't use the teams uplinks while your squad exclusive links are active.
