DUST Search - Amarr Logi uplink spawn time bonus: WORKING AS INTENDED

Ugh -_-

So an "issue" some people are having with the Amarr Logi is that their uplink bonus doesn't apply when they switch to another suit after dropping uplinks, or if they die.

WELL NO **** IT WON'T APPLY

I don't see respected Minmatar logistics players complaining about their repair tool bonus not applying when they switch to another suit, or after they have died.

Heck, Amarr Logistics players don't even have to sacrifice their equipment to still get the bonus. In fact, they can use a suit with all uplinks, drop a ton of them, then switch out to another Amarr Logi fitting to use 3 other types of equipment while STILL getting the bonus to the uplinks they have dropped.

And the best part? Even if all of their uplinks are destroyed in-battle and their current logi suit without uplinks is destroyed, THEY DON'T LOSE THE UPLINKS FROM THEIR ASSETS. There is literally ZERO risk in running prototype uplinks, or even the LP/AUR uplink that gives a 50% reduction in spawn time.

Not to mention, uplinks are also the least expensive equipment in the marketplace by a HUGE margin.
Viziam Uplink? 6,465 isk
CreoDron Active Scanner? 11,535 isk
Core Repair Tool? 13,215 isk
Ishokone Nanohive? 17,310 isk

Heck, even the proto variants are super cheap compared to the variants for other equipment. It can cost up to 30k isk for a triage nano or flux scanner while the uplink variants cost about as much as the base prices for other equipment.

Caldari and Amarr logistic bonuses are pretty useless unless that player hides in a corner after deploying. It's just not good game design. What's the reason not to have it apply? So that players can't max out both Caldari and Amarr and switch out/die? Do you really think that these bonuses make a large enough difference to justify skilling both to proto and spamming? Hell one standard flux grenade can clear out multiple equipments, it's not like clearing out equipment is hard. Mass drivers are also great for this. Why would the rep tool bonus apply when you don't have a rep tool or the logi bonus apply when you don't have a scanner? You are purposefully making yourself sound like a fool for the sake of a very terrible argument. As it stands, there is no real reason to run Caldari or Amarr for their bonus since being the squishiest suits, they are liable to die and render whatever they did pointless. Might as well run scouts. The bonus should be tied to the equipment, hell before they nerfed all the equipments and added this stupid bonus system the equipment was already far greater. And you know what? Game wasn't broken. Literally no logis asked CCP to nerf equipment and give these arbitrary bonuses.
