Have the links flash on scans for one second when someone spawns, but enjoy low profile otherwise.
Not the spawning dropsuit mind you.
Just that specific link.
IMHO, This is the most reasonable suggestion for uplinks. They should flare when generating the WH, otherwise they should be more subtle (would you buy uplinks that basically announced to everyone "Hey we're going to be spawning over here, please come camp us!!").
IDK how I feel about Prox being easy to scan, I mean, vehicles already get the warning beep. Either remove the warning beep and make them scannable or leave the beep and make them invisible (almost as though we've buried them slightly like real mines).
I might not like it, though I can understand remotes being scannable since they're receiving a signal that triggers detonation (I would imagine that them being an active receiver makes them easier to scan).
This brings me to hives, which are in effect, nanotech assembly plants. I would imagine that they would have the most consistent and sustained levels of high energy. This would lead me to believe that they'd have the highest profiles of all equipment (aside from uplinks when they are flaring)

@CELESTA
It isn't always sloppy placement, though I am not saying that it is never sloppy placement either.
Sometimes just having the uplink out is what you want.
During the early match mad dash for the objective, you might not want to take the time to place it carefully, you just want it there so back up is spawning within 10m of you in case **** goes sideways. Once you get that hack off and the objective trapped, then you go carefully place an uplink somewhere hidden so your team can spawn in in secret.
In short, I agree with you in that if you have LoS to the piece of equipment, you should see it immediately (unless CCP releases covert equipments)

Do you have any clue how pants on head that sounds?
Seriously, what is the point of skilling up then?
I can understand not needing any skills if you have a direct LoS, but just because it is on the other side of the ceiling or wall doesn't mean that you should be able to see it if you haven't skilled appropriately.

I have another idea that dovetails with this.
If they are within our Close range circle and our precision is better than their profile, can we have the name of the item displayed underneath like it does now if you aim directly at it?
