My solution: Flux Small Missile Turret.
Huge zoom when you press the scope button, 200/20 shield/armor profile, 18m splash radius, same range as a rail. Dropships become anti-camper vehicles without having to get within easy-to-kill distance of said campers and also can play a good anti-equipment role for their team with their scanners and new anti-equipment turrets. Also it would make for a very good AV and AI support turret.

I am convinced a solution should help to solve the problem.
How about a Flux Mass Driver where the range depends on how long you hold the trigger? Yeah, and call it the motherfluxer. Pair that with some massholers or combat rifles and there will be mass destruction.
lolz how about the thunderbolter?

It is easy to counter you either fly up there, fight over the point at the start, or start the match with av, or just farm them as they drop in. I think it is a little silly this is part of the reason you carry dropships... so get some dropships...... Oh they have av up there good they will not likely be able to take down your dropship before you get up there and you know they are carrying av sounds like a win to me.

This is a symptom of an incomplete game. Having things like jet packs, long range artillery that lock onto a target painter's location and bombard it like a mini orbital would solve a lot of these issues. The proposed changes to orbitals are a really good starting place though.
Best PvE idea ever!

I simply want a height limit to drop uplinks. About 2 stories or so higher than the adjacent ground. The rooftop/tower camping mentality is a virus that this game sorely need to lose.
Ambush: Flies up on tower or climbs up on rooftop and drop links. The game slows down to a crawl, its very boring for the guys on the ground having to either just get out of reach, or climb a ladder which is camped from the top. Its also extremely boring for the few guys who prefer a short range face to face fight. What happens when someone is brave enough to jump down? They get insta dropped by the 10 enemies waiting below.
Domination: Much the same situation as Ambush, only slightly worse. The first team with the good DS squad will normally sit up there raining down death and boredom to both teams. very often in both Ambush and Domination, its the roofcamping team that loses, at least that's my personal experience.
Skirmish: Fly around the map at the start of game and place an uplink or two close to but high up from all the objectives and you're more or less guaranteed a win as long as your bluedots at least tries to hack stuff. In this game mode I don't have an especially good argument against it, cause in skirmish this can be countered by flying around dropping flux nades.
In Dom and Bush you can easily get into situations where its impossible to get them of the roof short of getting an OB, there will be multiple forge fatties waiting to shoot anything out of the skies long before you can fly up there.
Consequences for gameplay: Bare with me on this one. Try to imagine what it will mean for the game to not allow uplinks in high places.
1. Deployment of uplinks would be much more tactical, rather than the usual "put them on top". Ideally, uplinks should scale from militia to proto by getting less and less DB, and possible spawn time/numbers too. Imagine a 15 DB proto uplink that can only be detected by either a Gal super scanner or not least by actually looking at it. This should scale downwards and we'd have a sort of Equipment-Ewar going on. This will furthermore reward situational awareness and people would need to interpret enemy movement. Where can that link be?
2. Now camping on top of something would have a risk/reward factor, well, sort off. If you do set up with multiple hives, a dude with a scanner, a dude with a forge, a sniper and whatnot. If someone either falls down or get countersniped, it's gonna be a beach to get back up there again. He'd have to call in a new DS and so on.
3. Will this change average player mentality? "Nah, its such a hassle flying/climbing up there I'd rather actually push the point and go for the win instead of pathetically trying to pad my KDR..."
I sure can dream....
Yes please.
The "get uplinks high" gameplay needs to burn in a fire.

Thanks for dropping by princess, long time no see. My sollution does solve the problem, though be it in a somewhat un-elegant way, so I dun't quite get what you mean here princess. That being said, I am not convinced this is the sollution either. I do however hope this is a topic the CPM takes seriously and try their best to find a sollution to. A great reduction to rooftop camping would go a long way to make this game more fun IMO. Maybe play around with the link - E-war idea? Thats a keeper... One idea is an Orbital EMP (flux) Strike, achievable solo and a larger radius for squads to completely clear a large area (unless well hidden or spread out)

I'm for it, but it'd have to be either cheap wp-wise, or widespread to have the desired effect, as well as penetrate walls. The easiest thing in the world to do is glitch links to hide them inside geometry.
I haven't figured out how, but you would not believe how many I find that are unfluxable.
EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.

If you think that you should be able to put uplinks on something not accessible this way, then get CCP to add more ladders. exatly we need more ladders and we need ro be able to press sprint and climb faster.
I feel like you should have an option to jump off the ladder mid-climb.
I've died countless times climbing then being spotted and shot down.

I sure can dream.... I personally started to conribute to this epidemic when tanks were a plauge. As soon as match starts, get in the ds and head for ground where they can't steamroll you. Why should I lose 5 suits because of ez mode tanks. Tanks not as bad now, but then scrub scout suits come along. So again, why should one lose suits to ez mode cloak scouts. Also, the best way to take out a DS as av is to not let them on top of you, so the problems still exist. Blame ez mode roles. I think a flux orbital at 2 500 wp would be a nice option. 5000 would be the one that still kills though.

If you think that you should be able to put uplinks on something not accessible this way, then get CCP to add more ladders. My personal favorite solution to inaccessible uplinks/scrubs is Gecko Scouts. It would be a completely different feeling on top of one of those towers/ledges knowing that cloaked death was coming for you.....
Only problem is my favorite solution scares the bejeezus outta me.

You wanted a lore reason, so how's this :
Due to the nature of creating artificial wormholes and the extreme radiation created during the usage, mobile uplinks have been deemed dangerous to the atmosphere if deployed in area's inaccessible by salvage drones after battle, due to the distribution of said radiation to the surrounding area's. This would create an uninhabitable region much larger than just the clone using them due to the fallout. Concord has decided the inclusion of a small shield unit in all uplinks in order to combat this environmental dangers however the power unit does not last much longer than 30 minutes dependent on usage. Currently clones that have used the technology last hours due to the deterioration caused by the extremely volatile nature of moving through a wormhole in a dropsuit.
So for arguments sake lets say that salvage drones can't fly high, hope this helps from a lore stand point, this is just to help the lore point Babar asked for because for all intent and purpose I think lore shouldn't be a problem,
My only issue with the EMP orbital is that if someone is up in this "only dropship" accessible area and the EMP orbital goes off then they just drop another uplink when the orbital is finished and so easily renews the cycle.

To transport troops and provide support fire on objectives to help ground troops clear out the area and take the point?
We just have no ******* ladders in this game and we use dropships to "exploit" the fact that you can jump out of a dropship landed on a tiny ledge in order to walk out on that ledge to place uplinks. The fact that most of these uplinks then require someone else to use a dropship in order to get rid of them? THAT'S the problem.
Most roofs in this game are not designed to be walked on. They glitch you, you get stuck, heavies can't jump over ledges...when people place uplinks up here it makes any veteran shake their head. The fact that uplinks can even be placed up there is just silly, and even worse when those locations are inaccessible except by the use of dropships.
When the winning team is determined simply by whoever can place their uplinks higher up on a tower...it really shows how necessary ladders are in this game

Well atleast CCP isnt a big loser that wants everyone to solve their problems for them. Instead of catering to the lowest common denominator and saying "Awwwwww you dont want to take time to learn how to fly a dropship or hit a target with a sniper rifle. Here is a complete change to equipment deploying so you can feel good about yourself again awwww".
Nope. Seems like CCP is going to enhance the game instead of removing the parts too complex for a middle school child with a KDR to prove. This is supposed to be a game based on a space MMO. Space...that place with no up and down, left or right. Forcing everyone to fight just on ground level to appease those who arent smart enough to do anything except move forward and shoot would have been detrimental to the entire concept of Dust.
If all you want to do is walk, aim, shoot....play another game. There are plenty of other games that will put you in a 12m by 12m room with 20 other players and all youll have to worry about is moving the middle of your screen onto a target and pressing a button. |

I'd like to see something where uplinks can't be used within 60-80m of each other and where there are a max of 3-4 on the field at any given time. Explain it with lore as wormhole bandwidth is limited or something. anything to make the game less spam and more tactical like Babar mentioned.
