Basically an uplink that only works for the person who dropped it. I thought of this idea when I was soloing in an ambush and I realized that placing an uplink down for myself (in case I die) would have been a great idea that match! Except...... my whole team would begin spawning on it and I would lose the tactical advantage of being behind enemy lines because....... they would all turn around.
Not everyone has corps, or if there in one, wants to squad up with people, so I think having uplinks like this would be a good idea because it would allow for people like me to "lone wolf it" if I chose to.
And keep in mind that I realize this is a game with a very heavy emphasis on teamwork. I get that. But if im able to pull in scores like 27-0 and 26-0 by myself, while constantly having the team lit up on radar, then that in itself is more then enough contribution to the team.
"Teamwork" does NOT always mean " a logi repping a heavy with a proto repper".........
This would also alleviate some of the pain of getting proto stomped by organized tanker squads. If the team is getting crushed and I know theres nothing I can do to help it...... well sorry but I don't want to go down with them. At least not in a simple pub match. So again this is another example of when the solo uplink can be helpful, ill die, then spawn in a place that I chose because it would be a safe respawn point, and my whole team wont give it away.

It'd make sense as a varient.
Make it lower clone count, higher spawn time, basically overall less efficient, but only for you.
Just tossing ideas here.

I'd like a 'squad only' uplink for similar reasons. This type of link would work for solo players simply by creating and locking a squad with just themselves.

I agree with the concept, and I like the fallback of "squad uplink" if necessary.
And yeah... sometimes you just have to do it yourself as the most valuable contribution to the team when there are only 4 blues on the field at any given time... Running into the killbox is not "teamplay"
