I like this idea.

but I also have another one.

set all equipment active at a time to 1(explosives should be 3. having 5 boundless remotes out is execcive) . that way the only thing different about the equipment is how effective it is.

that way you cant spam uplinks. but you can have 3-4 different types of uplinks and only place those 3-4 said uplinks

same goes for nanohives currently you can have 2 k-2 hives down at the same time and have a decent income of ammo/nades. at proto level you can sit inside 3 of those wiki(or was it ishy) hives. and to top it off you can put down adv or proto rep hives and have 2-3 of those there as well.

jihad jeeps would be less powerful (although still capable of OHK vehicles due to different tieres being used)

could also solve all tiered problems by having that; you place proto nano/uplink, then place a std version, it causes the 1st placed version to ''die''.

So if someone dies their uplinks disappear?
So how many matches would you see a bunch of Logi suits sitting in the Redline with SR while they soak up the +25 from spawns?

I choose solution #2.

It wouldn't matter as long as they also found a way to get rid of rooftop camping.

Not so sure about that.
I can drop two uplinks down and get WP of them until they expire this sometimes means through the whole match, and that is without ever putting them on rooftops I only travel on foot. Well placed uplinks can go through entire matches without being found.

How about we just put ladders on the f*cking towers?

Wtf do you people keep trying to destroy my Amarr logi suit?

No, uplinks are not a problem. It is kind of contradictory to say that putting uplinks on a high location negates tactical play because it IS tactical play, what you mean is it is not tactical play you like, probably because you are a heavy or scout. How is "uplink spam" a problem? Simply because something doesn't fit your play preferences doesn't make it a problem.

After taking a break from Dust for a month and playing that other shooter that just came out it has never been clearer to me how many serious problems could be fixed by changing the way uplinks work.

Rooftop camping. This is ridiculous, it ruins tactical gameplay by turning it into a race for whoever can fly a MLT dropship there first, and do it without accidentally falling off before you place a link. It's nigh impossible to get rid of these uplinks once they are placed. I'm sure everyone can agree it's a frustrating and unnecessary part of the game. It could easily be fixed by placing an upper vertical limit on how high up an uplink can exist, or by making the terrain on top of structures automatically cause the uplink to explode.

Spamming. People were discussing the idea behind this thread a while ago, and someone said you shouldn't be able to just drop uplinks everywhere and then switch suits or die, while the uplinks stay there. Your uplinks should explode when your clone is terminated or you change that suit at a supply depot. This will both promote the use of Logis on the battlefield and make the entire flow of battle more tactic-oriented. Uplinks should also have a resupply function similar to remote explosives.

I really think this is important to the Dust experience.

OR...

We cut the total spawns on uplinks and increase the amount carried.

You know, like what has been suggested.

lol uplinks are not going to be the main issue on tuesday. prepare yourself to be perma scanned all day long by a single guy, sitting 200m away from the action and farming WP non stop. Its going to be glorious!
