the cru is a teleportation node that links to the mcc, all your gear is at the mcc, while your waiting to spawn in your clone is putting on his gear thus the timer and then you teleport to cru/uplink. supply depots work the same except your gear is teleported to the depot and your clone equips it

#logic_win

So what stops the CRU from teleporting gear if all the CRU and SD are are just glorified teleport beacons?

crus don't have an interface to interact with to select the gear to be teleported , supply depots do have an interface but don't generate enough power to teleport a clone & the gear.

@ banjo

it does have the ability to link telepathicly however if enemy acquired that signal they would know what you using thus a manual interface is required.

so your gonna to insult me as a person not just as a player just because i poked a hole in your "hole poking" thats very childish and diminishes your argument.

1.) cru's do not create* equipment it reatomizes them from a previous location (aka teleportation).

2.) hacking is bypassing enemy security protocol and reprogramming it to sync with your corresponding mcc, does not mean you can interact with it to select fits or gear to be teleported to your location.

3.)yes this is true but it doesn't prevent enemy's from intercepting these brain transmissions.

4.)yes it is for balance, however you state that it is a logic failure without having any lore to base that claim off and for that matter i don't believe there is any lore regarding crus and supply depots, so the player is left to make his own assumptions regarding that matter.

You're just a butthurt little kid whom's assumptions was defeated by anothers.Grow up and come back to the forums when you have a constructive topic presented with reasoning.

So we all know CRU is where you spawn in, and Supply Depot is where you resupply and switch suits, but one thing has always bugged me.

The CRU doesnt spawn you in without gear, you have a dropsuit with all your equipment, so does the CRU act as a supply depot in some regard? Allowing the deployment of a clone and the deployment of equipment? Should it then make sense for it to act as a supply depot as well, offering resupply/suit changes to players on the ground?

The CRU is a giant, fixed, high powered Uplink. It generates a temporary wormhole.

Basically an automated process dresses and equips your clone on the MCC or Warbarge and then drops you/it through a wormhole and you pop out at a CRU or Drop Uplink.

For Legion I have been arguing that a lot of interesting game mechanics could result if Drop Uplinks were short range (can reach a MCC near the surface but not a Warbarge in orbit) and the CRU acted as a router on the ground to bring your clone down from a Warbarge in Space and then redirect it to Drop Uplinks on the ground. This way when raiding a District without the use of an MCC, you would have to either control a CRU on the ground, or be forced to Sky Spawn.

#logic_win

because there is no downside to jumping from a ship in orbit to enter a hot dropzone , right?

@banjo

please provide proof when saying someone is wrong instead of making faceless claims (I nevered stated you was wrong i was just providing you with another point of view,)

I called you a little kid because that is how you are behaving, if you changed your argumentative tone i would think of you differently and thus respond to you in a more kinder manner.

You're right about that.

As a teleportation node, the CRU is different than the SD. I do think it would be cool if the teleportation could work in reverse, allow players to go back up, switch suits, and redeploy.

yeah it would be cool, but people would use it to escape death
