Will the flux strike hit stuff under surfaces? Because let's not pretend that major positions of uplink spam aren't under a roof.

How well this work in FW? Different times for higher tier strikes maybe?

Lastly, I love this don't get me wrong, but Caldari and Amarr logis will hate you. They get a bonus to consumable equipment and now it's easier to destroy? Maybe new bonuses, but what if instead deployable equipment regenerated over time? Use something like the active scanner timer. You drop an uplink, then you wait for the red ring to go around the circle before you can drop another? Two positives here: 1) Caldari and Amarr logis now will never run out of their specialized equipment and 2) You can't go to a supply depot and spam all the equipment on your fits because after each drop you have to wait to drop another. Of course keep the same max active limit and higher tiers/specific variants can have a shorter cooldown.

How about they deploy far apart, under roofs or inside buildings?

Well then, guess that supply depot room in the Gallente research facility is still going to be annoying.

Guess that's why I'm carrying flux nades.

Until we get that "one per equipment category" setting I want

Until we get that "one per equipment category" setting I want I don't like this unless you exempt the Caldari and Amarr logi's from it. But, if you do that, then spectacular idea. Keep the actual logi's in business and get rid of the "spammers" who are the real problem, dropping 18 links at the start of a match and then switching into Sentinel suits, like you mentioned in the OP. Love that concept. Also love the idea of black ops uplinks. I would be all over those. As for the strikes, they sound good in theory. More variety is better than less. Just gotta get the numbers right. (The godfather of tactical logistics)

Just so you all know that equipment spam was never meant to be a legitimate tactic. Cross already used his hotline to "discuss" this idea/jab . I just want less spam, more quality, less quantity. Give each suit an "equipment bandwidth" stat like drones in EVE. Have a logi suit with high bandwidth and you can deploy a bunch of stuff. Swap out to a scout suit and all but the most recent equipment (up to the scout's lower bandwidth capacity) will pop. This would limit spam and probably significantly improve performance. Love this idea. Such an elegant solution that really wouldn't nerf logis at all. I need to be able to like it more than once! (The godfather of tactical logistics)
