DUST Search - Current status of the Ammar Logi Uplink Bonus

Crazy Cat Lady wrote:

The Ammar Logistics suit has a uplink bonus that reduces the spawn time and increases max spawns on uplinks dropped.
What is the current state of affairs with this bonus?

Specifically what is happening with the uplinks when the person changes suits? Is this bonus being applied to the uplinks when they are dropped and those links will retain their improved stats for the duration of the match/until destroyed ? OR.. Is the bonus only applied when the logi who dropped the link is wearing the Ammar suit and thus when they change to a different racial suit the uplinks go back to their original stats?

I know many of us have spec'ed into Ammar specifically for the uplinks but prefer to run the minmatar as our normal infantry suit. I'm keen to hear if anyone has done any experiments to test if changing suits has an effect on the uplinks.

Lets say for example
Scenario 1: Drop uplinks in Ammar Logi then change to a different racial suit at the supply depot
Scenario 2: Drop uplinks in Ammar Logi. After dying spawn in with a different racial suit.

Nanohives and nanites...how it all works plus the invisible nanocircuitry bonus Uplinks and the Amarr Dropsuit Scanning differences, what is the best scanner? (proto flux) Although if you'd like I can bump it to the top of my list and get back to you. Edit: Why does it have a "lolz" at the end of my link? Weird. It's supposed to be there, just kinda funny XD 7162 wp with a Repair Tool! List of Legion Feedback Threads!

Anyway, I was hoping to use it for uplinks then switch to a suit with reasonable movement speed or actual offensive capability. I can't, because the damn links get ruined. So I use it from inside a tank. From what I understand, there are no plans on changing this, and that it may even be shudder working as intended. MY ACTUAL NAME IS LORHAK It would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart... CCP BLOWOUT FOR CPM1

Have you been able to confirm that changing into a different suit actually does ruin the links?

My argument against it being the other way around is that then the Amarr Logi suit is just used to put uplinks down, and no one will actually use it for actual logi stuff. I mean, could you imagine if because I started out in a minmatar logi suit and repped one person, that I could then switch to my Gal Logi to keep that bonus while still having the scanner bonus? 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

You had to select a spawn and cancel it to update all spawn modifiers that may be aviable on the field. Do not know if this is still the case. Pain is just weakness leaving your body.

Lets say for example Scenario 1: Drop uplinks in Ammar Logi then change to a different racial suit at the supply depot Scenario 2: Drop uplinks in Ammar Logi. After dying spawn in with a different racial suit. Long story short: 1) The % listed as spawn time is added to 10s and is a % of 10s. So if you use stable uplinks (50%) it would be 15 (10 + (.5 * 10). The Amarr bonus is then applied to the remainder. So you can get 3s spawn time the whole match if an Amarr drops a LP Viziam Uplink (the one with -47.5%). 2) Change suits or die and it goes away. You know when you have that 10s or so to request for help. Technically the bonus applies during this time. 3) When I solo as the Amarr Logi I tend to drop them in good spots and then get out and snipe on some maps. The bonus stays applied. This is normally for dom. PSN is "Ekopalm" I play D3, Child of Light, and solo games Also, Proto Trolling until I'm broke...
