We're going to have more uplink destruction due to new OBs.
It's going to become REDLINE MADNESS. Less uplinks + more uplink destruction.
I predict that any slightly asymetrically matched games will end in redlining the losing team, resulting in even more redlining than we already experience today.
 True, Clone D. Very true. For the immediate future, the "farmers" who never really learned even the first useful thing about deploying an uplink tactically well, will be frisbee-ing their 2 uplinks in goofy places that will help the enemy more than us...
But like "Freindly-fire ON" in FW, a good game ought to have "filter-doors" that allow the playstyle-trained players to enter into the next room, but stop and throw back the players who refuse to follow the required playstyle (they can stay in the yard and do their farming), or at least penalizes them while they try to play with us in the advanced-room until they've better-developed their playstyle.
I'm hoping the "bandwith" mechanic will permanently turn away farmers, and after 'X' number of months of adjustment-pain, will train a whole fresh and smarter batch of uplink-specialist players.
Heaven knows we NEED "specialists" in uplinks----tons of players still don't realize yet that match types like Ambush are dictated and won by which team has the competent uplink carrier with them.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

Well,... not exactly.
What I think is that the word "EFFECTIVELY" when it comes to deploying equipment, is tiffany-twisted difference in each player's overconfident mind.
MANY of us think we have been "effectively" deploying and "effectively" helping players... I'm expecting that the Bandwith constraint will force all equipment carriers to either improve and sharpen their idea of effective deployment was, OR retire from equipment deployment and let some better carriers handle that job.
...Yep, sounds like an insult... but it's just logic that is cold sometimes.

I keep checking back on these forums hoping to see a turn around. I'm afraid to step my foot into the **** pool. Is Dust even Dust anymore?
 Don't worry, Michael Arck! Dust is still Dust, and being more innovative and elaborate every new month. The "BW" as it is now famously called as we log it into gaming history(  ) will NOT destroy uplink use for logis or anyone else----it will simply challenge us to define what we each thought was "experienced know-how at planting uplinks".
NOT meant to hurt the feelings of any poster (or author) in this thread, but if an uplink could talk back to the girl who deployed it, she might hear:
 If you're busy planting 8 of me active around the map at the same time, just "for the team's convenience"---how will you ever be available to notice when your team needs ONE of me planted on the flank of the current firefight they are in?
 If you planted me 4 times, and I got camped by reds 3 times---is it just possible that for 3 times out of 4, you're planting me in spots that are so predictable/noticeable, and so securable by the enemy, that the reds feel perfectly safe camping with lawn chairs and a boombox?
 When you deployed 2 of me on opposite sides of Red Null-C, specifically so our team could strike from both sides at once, and won both C and the match----don't you think the team appreciated you more than when you deployed 6 of me on random "long walk to get off" rooftops and "20 seconds to get down" skyscrapers in those other matches that day?
BW may prove to be VERY helpful to us. Maybe by making us aware that, if you're planting equipment every WHERE that you think is safest, instead of waiting and planting equipment WHEN your blues need it, and AS each firefight unfolds,... some of us logi players may not be as skillfully HELPFUL to team as we've been thinking we are.
