"Rapid Limited Deployment UPLINK" RLDU has a max of 5 spawns before it bursts the spawn time modifier will be like 1/2 of its meta level counterparts.. so lets see..
RLDU (standard)
10 active uplinks*
5 spawns per unit
spawn time modifier 20%
health 50hp
Cooldown 10-30seconds**
RLDU (adv)
10 active uplinks*
5 spawns per unit
spawn time modifier 10%
health 75hp
cooldown 10-30 seconds**
RLDU (pro)
10 active uplinks*
5 spawns per unit
spawn time modifier 0%
health 100hp
cooldown 10-30 seconds**
*max active of 10 due to limited spawns and cooldown allowing them to get used up fully or reaching the upper limit of 10 before they start to pop.
** still unsure on how long the cooldown before another uplink can be placed, i was thinking 20-15-10 std adv pro.
due to its self resupplying nature the fittings will need to be a touch higher then their non self resupplying counterparts,
because its only 5 spawns per uplink it may be geared more toward squads and not random blueberrys so maybe have them limited to squad only for spawning?
basically got this idea after breaking stuffs idea of having a massive cache of uplinks and 1 uplink down = 1 spawn.. which is too much micromanagement and stops a logi doing what they should be doing!

you mean the Aurum uplink which no one in their right mind would waste aur on. yes its only -47.5% but max active = 1 max carried = 3.. id rather use viziam flux drop uplink which is -21.30% max active = 2 max carried = 3 and DOES NOT blow when you die

Moonracer2000 wrote:Do you mean max active or carried? I would be into an uplink that had a low spawn count but you had more you carried. Limit it to one active at a time though.
This would be useful for roaming squads that move from objective to objective frequently. Current uplinks are better designed for defensive tactics.
there would be NO max carried as it would work like active scanner.. drop one, wait for recharge, drop another,, wait, drop another...though because they are limited to 5 spawns they will get used up rather fast.. faster then cooldown in hot situations..
and yes i agree uplinks are more for static area battles.. the RLDU is more an offencive uplink because you dont run out of them but allows you to summon 5 team/squad mates when you get close to an assault point (cap point or w/e)

But not at the moment as uplink variations enable a huge amount of link spam and link fits (as each variation counts it's own limit. but that's a different discussion).
yes i agree variant spam is a cancer.. and will bring more importance to the team to keep uplinks secure and guarded if they wish to keep a presence in the field

/sarcasm (<--- this is here because I don't think you'd get it without me pointing it out for you... You're welcome.)
you dont see it do you.. average uplink use can be like 1 person every 3 to 6 seconds.. so x5 15 to 30 seconds before amount of people spawning pops the uplink.. and then the cooldown is to regulate how meny active at any one time, id probably guess that max you could have up with regular spawns is 1-2 but to appease sarcastic trolls as yourself maybe have a limit of 5 RLDUs active per LOGI since they are logi suit only.*
*basically logi suit runners are rare now due to soo meny people running scout or heavy now since "the event"
