CCP Wolfman is planning on talking to you guys about exactly this topic very soon - that's all I can say right now, but it should be pretty cool to hear what you guys have to say and what is your vision as well.

How do you think Eve Online players respawn when they get podded?

How the higher tier uplinks would be better is how more efficient they are in low bandwidth situations.

The advanced/uncommon tier would have a 100% reduction to the effect of low bandwidth, remaining at 10 seconds at all bandwidths.

The prototype/rare tier would have 150% reduction to the effect, so it would spawn every 7.5 seconds at 100-150% and 5 seconds at over 150%.

This does sound counter intuitive I know but I believe it would result in more tactical thinking as to the placement and numbers of uplinks used. It would also form the the basis of a form of EWAR in Legion.

Imagine vehicle modules or installations that could either decrease or more interestingly, increase to the oppositions bandwidth. Decreasing their bandwidth would mean them having to switch to the higher tiers to counter the effect. But flooding them with bandwidth would mean that they could never spawn faster than 10 seconds.

[...] I see a problem explaining this mechanic to new players. If they don't understand the mechanic without googling and forums post, how will they be able to use this tactic against more experienced players? [...]

With an actual tutorial.

Not just some block of text that explains everything, but an actual, good, clean, crystal-clear tutorial (most games have these).

What is this witchcraft you speak off?!?
Tuta...truto...trottorial....No, it's impossible.

BE GONE, BE GONE! GO BACK to the abyss you came from (** makes cross gestures **)

As it happens we are considering an 'equipment bandwidth' system to reduce equipment spam in Legion. We were thinking it would be per player rather than for an entire team though which is a bit easier to grasp I think.

I'll talk about spawning once the suspicion conversation in the salvage thread has run its course.

Don't we already have a "max placed per player" (akin to bandwidth per player) for equipment in DUST already?

You know, the system that has the equipment spam problem?

Just something to point out...

Would you consider a team wide bandwidth (along with player one)?

Team assets would consume team bandwidth instead such as orbital strikes and vehicle call downs and more.

Have it time and resource based too so for example a team that deploys many vehicles very heavily will not access orbitals as often as a team that doesn't deploy anything else.

Then create secondary objectives that increases bandwidth gain rates (sattelight uplink) or reduction in bandwidth costs (vehicle depot)

It's on a per item basis, not per type. I can set down 4 A-Type Nanohives and 4 B-Type Nanohives, just as an example. This leads to really irritating behavior where a single person can flood an entire map with different Nanohives just by switching out their fittings at a supply depot.

I think it's an interesting idea having the whole team share some sort of resource be it bandwidth or something else.

Correct. This would be a for all equipment carried not just individual items.

IMO, CRUs should have a separate stockpile of clones, so when you capture one, you get some free clones to respawn into (and if you lose them, someone else gets to use them, until they run out or are replenished somehow)
