So far so good. Couple things though.
Needs to be to logi, what cloak is to scout. Usable(ish) by other roles but at great cost. (Sacrifice)
Perhaps a slight fitting bonus for logi if the equipment fitting bonus isn't enough.
Extreme bandwidth cost that can't be negated. Sprinkle or wear. Suits without enough can use but nothing else, suits with enough can try to sprinkle a little. Don't forget, there's four popular equipment that cost no bandwidth.
A walking uplink with scans needles and reps is powerful enough.
Following that line of reason, always on.
The mcru timing is nice, if that could be debugged. If not I have no suggestions there.
Just really don't want to fight a 1v1 that suddenly becomes 1v8.
Profile increase I like, but not extreme ranges. And a huge no to a noise. Please no.
Less for giving my position and more for my headache lol.
As a neat suggestion, there could be an augment equipment that a logi could sac another equip slot for spawn modifiers. Skilling crupack gives the related augment tier, or just another tree for sp sink, either one.
Mods could include; reduced profile, faster spawns, fitting reduction ( as the mods would cost little to no pg cpu ) more spawns at once, etc.
Loving it, lets not let this one fade guys.

My thoughts aren't always the most coherent.
When I mentioned cloaks I meant this should be like the cloak. Others can technically use it, but not like a scout.
I want the bandwidth high enough that you can't scatter much with one on at pro, and nothing else at lower levels.
(keeping bandwidth-less equipment in mind this is not a big setback) One or the other, or being mediocre at both.
Also, with that high bandwidth, it will still be equipable/usable by suits with not enough bandwidth
Lore; Bandwidth is in use keeping jump stream open. idk
But the cost keeps one from using other items that deploy.
Example: Jonny Newberry has his callogi at adv and his crupack at pro. He can indeed put a pro crupack on his std logi and goto town. However, costs and requirements keep him from being a litter-logi, and also from fitting crazy tank.
This makes a few new classes of logi / gives logis more than just "fit one of each and brick out"
Glad to see this topic come back. o7

I'm completely against the mass spawn idea.
Do you want to corner a scout, and suddenly 8 people show up?
My high bandwidth suggestion explained any suit can use it even if it doesn't have enough bandwidth. The cost just prevents one from scattering deployables.
Thinking 20 25 30 for the tiers.
High pg cpu costs also prevent having a mobile spawn assault with 1000 ehp.

Made me lol so hard 
Seriously, it has to be UP and tweaked up, or it will be stupid OP.

With a bit of tuning this could get rid of the issue of uplink spam, an issue I really, really dispise.
I would like to keep original too. But this idea would greatly reduce the numbers of current spam.
And be almost exclusively used in battles where it mattered.
I'm always all about an extra sp sink.

So far I like it as a non-handheld, high bandwidth, high cost pg cpu, logi specialty item.
I would like to see other classes use it, but badly compared to any tier logi. ( cost reduction and spawn time modifiers to role skills )
I like it as a sprinkle or wear option, with adv/pro logi being able to at least toss a few hives maybe one or two links.
( more for crupack fallback spawn than anything )
I really prefer it to be a mobile cru timing, one at a time, thing than having one guy turn into a whole team. Bad enough the first to spawn on a scout with one crammed on it will always be a heavy.
(PC......)
Please god no sound. If we must... make it a soft soothing yet recognizable one. Please.
I'd like to see required resources keep the user from becoming a 1000 ehp uplink that can jump... ( no amount of flux will stop that roof party )
And more than anything, I'd like to see the lore be a 5th party like ORE or something that manufactures it.

Medal of Honor series, one could spawn on the furthest forward trooper.
Don't want to limit it to squads.

CRU Backpack - unlimited spawns tempered by longer spawn time modifier, carried by logis, available for squads that logi deploys with, similar to squad deploy from Battlefield series. If it was for squads only, the incentive to run it is really diminished, especially in Pubs. Logis use equipment (for the most part) to help their team and gain WP. If only 3 people can use it, I would suspect people will choose other pieces of equopment that can assist the whole team instead of 3 people. I run solo a lot aince I am also normally watching my daughter. I would NEVER be able to use this piece of equipment.
Feel free to join my pub chat, its on my CPM post. We're extremely casual and fine with random breaks. Give us a chance to bounce ideas real-time and assemble one mean post.

I'm just afraid for it to be a reality, and be super OP upon release, then get nerfed into uselessness.

If a CPM or a blue tag wanted to grace this thread, that would be amazing.

It's a long thread but that's in here, possibly an insane profile, or a humming sound or effect.
