Wondering if it was possible to have the scan profiles of uplinks altered?
it just seems that as they go up in meta valie they should be harder to detect to enable them to be used for tactical purposes and not just spammed for points and also allows for a 'Covert' spawn uplink for scouts to use. it seems broken that a scout uses cloaks and stealth to flank the enemy yet soon as a drop uplink is put down all thier hard work is instantly destroyed as pretty much every suit in game will pick it up straight away and alerts the enemy as to where it is
idea for the 'covert' uplink
1 carried
1 active
5 spawns
simply to allow a small squad to get in behind enemy lines after being flanked

It also came with black ops suits, orbital drop suits that resist AA, and moar. Ignore me, just a vet with memories.  Black ops suit would be baller.. black ops Uplink allows squad mates to spawn on you if you are in a squad/squad leader.. but make black-ops suit be a medium suit so there is a little drawback or else it will make scout-suits even more op then they are now.
Yeah it'd be similar to the black ops ships in EVE. they can open covert cynosural fields and allow cov ops based ships to pass through. perhaps with a black ops uplink th eblack ops scout suit carries the uplink. you carry 2, an A and a B. you put the first one down and then flank the enemy and drop the second. your squad mates 'interact' with the 'A' uplink and it jumps them to the 'B' uplink like a portal.

I have thought about doing the same, but am wondering if it is worth the effort of switching out suits, finding the uplinks etc.
it can be a pretty effective and rage inducing way of killing reddots. have to drop them right but it can work

nah its not for them to be completely invisible. just a lower scan profile that plain suit scans can't pick them up when you drop proto uplinks and scan them. admitedly active scanners need to be altered again because atm they're pretty terrible and not very effective. i've started using a scout with an active scanner so i can pickup red dots and then aim the scanner towards them for better pickups incluidng ecouts too. everyone wants an easy way of doign things or wantign to be the guy who does the s**tty job of being a scanner. we all can't be heroes

I would say great idea when they remove ALL uplinkins being placed on ANY rooftops that don't have ladder access.
Then maybe the dropship will be a troop dropship as it was supposed to be and no just a uplink dropship that it is now.
again the idea isn't to make them invisible but as you go up in skill level the uplinks become a little trickier to find with passive scans and require an active scanner (or scout with precision skills) to find them instead of them simply lighting up as soon as they're dropped.
i've tried getting tactical uplinks in behind the enemy but with the current state of passive scans on scouts, uplinks just show up instantly and reddots are on you as soon as you spawn in and in things like ambush where each spawn is just a few seconds it gives more reason to skill into and use better equipment as you can get behind the enemy without them instantly knowing you're there
