the idea is to give more emphasis on squad, commanders and squad commands..
it works like a MCRU but is wearable on a dropsuit equipment slot.. kind of heavy pg and cpu requirements and will only work if you are squad commander.
the commander does not get UPLINK points but rewards the commander for wearing the MICRO-MCRU quite like "transport assists" i think 15WP per MMCRU assist seems fair..
drawbacks are
-slower spawn times then uplinks, a flat 10-8-6secs(as meta increases) where uplinks can be as low as 3secs.
-heavy pg and cpu use so its harder to brick tank and have a light weapon so may mean useing sidearms only, may even have to resort to useing the CPU and PG moduals.. oh my! a use for those moduals at last!
-the squad commander will have to learn to issue the squad commands if they want to get more points for themselves and the squad.
-and finally the squad commander gets to be the one to drop the OBs as normal for extra points for his/her self
i have also thought about perhaps a new "command suit" with a % per level on pg and cpu use per level something a-kin to scouts and their cloak fitting bonus.
i have also thought about it being on Logi suits.. as they get 25% fitting for equipment where perhaps command suit would get 50% and perhaps 10% per level on spawn time modifier... so its a choice of being focused or being sub par
ps. yes i know alot of these ideas would require client side updates but that aside i think this modual could be amazing for dust and legion

I'd rather just get in my scout or logi and put links where they are needed. More points for me, less chance of death for spawners and less chance of death for me, as my suit will actually be able to survive more than a sneeze.
only slightly more spawn time then uplinks as iirc basic uplinks are liek 12-14 seconds. basic MMCRU would be 10
advanced would be 8 seconds and proto 6 seconds.. but the benefit is its mobile but also drawback is that you could spawn in and get shot as is the way with normal uplinks and CRU anyway

Na fit this on a heavy suit and now you got a heavy with logis spawning on it, fit this on a scout and you got an impossible to find uplink that can fight back. It's a decent idea really but I doubt CCP would introduce anything like this.
they may.. EVE has CYNOSAURAL "uplinks" allowing cross universe "jumps" so its basically the same in essence but like i said.. it would have heavy requirments so it couldn't really be on some suits/fits.. on scouts it would use alot of their cpy and pg maybe only leaving enough space for nova knives as cloak+MMCRU would not fit even at core and pg/cpu at 5.. atleast with out being a bare bones dropsuit
