You are funny, defending in the weakest suit of the game?
I tell you what I do, considering I'm running allone in a pub. I spawn in a faction proto suit, with 7uplinks and a scanner.
I try to put those links down in good spots, not too close and not to far from the objective. I can't go close, since I will get mowed down by any redberry with a shotgun or hmg.
After/if I got rid of all links, I'll switch to a Shaman BPO, to not run the risk of getting killed in said expensive suit.
Then I'll try to do my support stuff with the gimped APEX. If ca. half my links are gone, I'll switch to my APEX Commando, to have a little more oomph.
At this point, I'll check regularly if the last four links are still there, and if not, I'll spawn a Sever logi with four links and a scanner to keep at least a minimum amount of links going.
This all will not work, if we get spammed with scouts, who take out every piece of eq, faster than you can resupply it.
It won't work as well, if the glorious blueberries start shooting at the enemy as soon as they spawn (way out of range of their rifles) and reveal the location of the links.
One of the most important things to create for a team of blueberries is stability, try placing your uplinks in a spot that your blueberries will naturally turn into a fortress once they spawn, this provides some long term stability which in turn makes it much easier to defend your uplinks, since the only thing that will get by your team are chewed up enemies or scouts, which you really should be able to kill or drive off. Yes, even in a logi suit.
Sometimes this isnt possible, and things get a little bloodier, but your job isnt just to crap uplinks and walk away as a logi. You need to take care of your equipment, rep, inject, scan, etc. The objective isnt to just provide spawns and get points, its to enhance your team overall and make them more effective whether they are holding a position or pushing into one. Thats why the tourist equipment spammers are such losers that get zero respect from people who are actually playing logis are getting no sympathy, because they dont understand how to actually play a logi once they are done crapping equipment all over everyone's tacnet. |
