I'd like to propose a meta level stacking penalty for uplinks
Not sure if this has been suggested but what if uplink spawns were tied to the meta level of the suit you are spawning in?
So if you are using a suit with a meta level of 5 it actually uses up 5 of the max spawns on that uplink
This number could be reduced if you are using advanced or proto uplinks
Militia : +1 penalty + meta level ( so meta level 5 takes 6 spawns)
Std : same number as meta level
Adv: - 1 to max meta level ( metal level 5 is now requires 4 max spawns)
Proto : -2 to max meta level ( meta 5 now requires 3 max spawns)
You could possibly add a bonus to logi's to reduce this number further or while your logi is on the field this meta level stacking penalty does not apply
I was just reading this thread by breaking stuff about the sentinel role

A majority of the replies were about uplink spam of heavies and I thought this would help with that type of spam as well as uplink spam in general. |

So if I understand you correctly, I run out with a basic light frame, drop my 5 proto up links, and +1 penalty - 1 meta means no change.
I don't think I understand your meanings of 'requires x max spawns'. Sounds like you're penalizing high level suits and gear. |

(I'm using very rough numbers here sorry, I know uplinks have various max spawn limits and other variables)
But for arguments sake pretend a basic uplink has 20 max spawns and I spawn in with a meta level 5 suit. The max spawns remaining on that uplink unit would be 15.
I would only make it affect dropsuits, not the gear that is equipped on them so a meta level 3 frame could spawn in and incur a meta level 3 penalty on a basic uplink while still being equipped with proto gear, weapons, whatever.
The idea is to punish uplink spam....and really heavy frame spam.
I read another suggestion where the heavy frame would just take longer to spawn in. I don't think that would be fair to that particular player and would also be boring.
.......btw I love uplinks, & use them all the time. I personally don't care if they stay where they are but certain devs have expressed a desire to nerf uplinks. I think something like my suggestion nerfs but still gives some some flexibility.
A nerf is going to happen, let's give them some ideas
