I support this +1

Also if there are any concerns from a balance standpoint about mCRU spawns, please still give the WP and just add a cooldown or cap on them. That can be fine tuned to the right level as needed but our vehicle support crews really do deserve to get earnings for their contributions.

There are already global limit in place, spawns take 10 seconds already so few are spawning on them at the moment, so for the time being, just add the reward and then when they implement tiers of mCRUs, then they can add timer limits and faster spawn times.

Seems solid to me. mCRUs cost SP, ISK, and CPU/PG, just like anything that a Merc is spending resources/taking on risk to field they deserve to have a robust and balanced earnings reward potential linked to their use. I hope we see WP for mCRUs coming to Dust very soon.

Cheers,
Cross

PS ~ If it matters to anyone I say this as an infantrymen and support Logi so more effective and used mCRUs will likely cut my own WP a bit, but I 100% they they are a good thing for the game and should be rewarded for the tactical value they're providing. I want to earn my WP for doing my job well, not by stopping players from having any other option, so again as an infantry player, please CCP give our vehicle Mercs WP for mCRU spawns, they're doing the work, they deserve the reward.

Honestly I get less spawns on a mCRU then uplinks because mCRU is always 10 seconds and is glitched right now since you body has to be bleed out before you can spawn on it. I fly dropships all the time, so believe me I know how often people actually spawn on them. So unless they offer more levels of mCRU with faster spawns/higher spawn limits, I would not want limits. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

I'm tired of tanks with no passenger seats, that spit you out just to be overrolled by them. No CRU funcionality without free seats! Cheers Mad No seats no spawn. That should not even work to begin with. No limit should be used, as most vehicles are not around long enough for it to matter. But it should have an extended cool down after so many spawns, maybe 8? And then have an 80 second cool down. the no seats thing is a bug that they know about. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

Not sure on the complicated question, but I'll try and find out. While we're on this topic, can we actually get higher meta mCRUs? With the nerf coming to uplinks, having faster spawning mCRUs could be pretty valuable and perhaps even usable. One thing at a time, overloading them usually results in long development times 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

I would like to remember to the people who belives mCRU wp should be lower than uplink and/or limited that in order to fit a mCRU you have to make considerable sacrifices in either tank or utility, so i don't feel the need to limit the mCRU or have reduced WP. Indeed, the cost on mCRU does take considerable PG to equip yet there is little benefit to having it. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

Should only be +25 like uplinks - people on the ground have to use up resources to fit it too. WIth 1.8 changes (and CCP's hints of making equipment spam go away) mCRU's will be a lot more valuable tactically too, not just WP valuable. I do think that a mCRU's should also load people out faster than uplinks always. The difference here is risk/reward - that vehicle is a fatter and more expensive target than a scout/logi with an uplink. Fitting a mCRU does take away the survivability of a vehicle and yes with future updates, it looks like uplinks are getting nerfed to make CRUs and mCRUs more beneficial then link spam. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

Or don't allow people to dampen their fall... Otherwise we'll have 10 Gorgons doing nothing but hovering at the map roof every match for free war points, would be as bad as red liners... I'm thinking have the pilot see a timer on how long until someone spawns, which gives them time to get down to a safe drop point. maybe, if we find people doing this a lot but I could not see someone doing it that often, for one they have to die to spawn, 2 its most likely only going to be done if they are red lined. 3 you can counter it with another dropship. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

I get the gist that its hacked together pretty badly and that why they can't simply through +25 on spawns like uplinks give us. 514th Wing // Team Fairy DUST // Havok Core [email protected]

I never gave up asking for it in that time frame either. I'm not sure they have the resource needed to fix it though, as last explained to me, this thing comes from when the black ops tanks were around, the module is actually hacked together from days past, uses a separate system then other spawns and thus much more complex then it seems to be.
