Where is the spam of uplinks I always hear about. I can think of one map.

no, i agree with what IWS said

people who like placing uplinks (a lot of us) are just going to be even more disappointed with this game if uplinks are nerfed again.

come on, they were already nerfed in 1.8 leave them alone. i find it ridiculous that my proto gauged still takes 10 seconds

focusing on mobile CRUs will just increase tower camping

So assuming they do get nerfed, what do you propose for Amarr Logistics users? That's a lot of invested SP for arguably a weak role to begin with, nevertheless if you are going to nuke the role, what do you give back in return?

(And you wonder why people scream for SP respecs so much.....)

Reaserch Facility: Supply Depot Underground/roof next to objective/at objective
Manus Peak: EVERYWHERE!
Line Harvest: The Tabletop/Pipes/Towers
Fractured Road: The Large Middle Tower/nearby rooftops
Border Gulch: The Security outpost on the center of the map/atop the silo overlooking the CRU
Comms Outpost: On the Tower/Everywhere
Bridge Map: Everywhere/square silos on either side/bridge struts
Pipe Map: On the Pipes/Little Hideaway just below pipes/Very Top of Tower
Orbital Cannon Facility: On the Wide section of tower/atop building overlookinf objective + CRU /towers

If you ever want to see just how bad/cheap/annoying/skill less uplink spamming just go into a domination with/against a PRO corp stacked squad.

All you see is 1500 eHP heavies with 2 logis, by the time you take out that heavy another 3 have spawned in his place, you effectively end up fighting the hydra.

So me pushing for a change to make STD Dropships useful is me wanting to get rid of vehicles and "Proto Stomp"?

Wow, just... wow.

Drop Uplinks need to get Flaylocked.

Otherwise, the Dropship w/Mobile CRU will never be a viable or practical choice for teams to use. Nobody's going to risk being shot down out of the sky, nor waste time deploying one when they can just spam a bunch of Uplinks everywhere.

That, and the rewards for being a DS Pilot need to be increased exponentially.

spawn ship at max height. ud think players would like to spawn in and fall down and land on top of objectives to capture easily.

The only reason people dont use mobile CRUs is because they dont give WP for spawns. Its a no reward all risk method to hover over an objective waiting for people to spawn.

Give WP, and give a spawn time advantage, and more people will use mobile CRUs.

Honestly, I'd hope that uplinks, in their current form, someday no longer exist. I think they cheapen gameplay a lot.

That being said, they compensate for weaknesses in DUST's current design, I think.

But yes, nerf the uplinks. Nerf them to heck.

Nobody wants to admit it, BUT...

The Scrambler Pistol was nerfed harder than the Flaylock Pistol. A 43% DPS/RoF reduction was uncalled for.

No i like my links how they are

Careful. You could quite easily kill the game. Not much worse than a big map and nowhere to spawn. Its rare enough as it is that blueberries try and mount a comeback and place a few spawns. Sure I'll do it but if my uplinks do diddly squat of use then we'll all be spending more time in the redline...

when does that happen? I never see any Dropships with CRU's.
