The uplinks should disappear when the clone that placed them is terminated, or if the user switches to a different suit.
Uplink/Nanohive spam would be greatly reduced, if you want to support your team with this equipment then you should have to sacrifice CPU/PG on your suit to fit it.
Amarr and Caldari Logis would actually have a purpose on the battlefield, rather than being equipment mules that only see daylight for 10 seconds a game when they come out to spam.
Equipment Bandwidth is totally unnecessary, in fact it's an entirely pointless concept when this is a much more simple and effective fix.

Umm NO.

I would prefer my role on the team be to drive over and put uplinks out and then drive back to the redline so that my team actually has a chance.

I'm just curious. How do you feel about uplinks and how they are designed? Personally, I think that, due to the way that they work, uplinks offer a team to project their force too far and too efficiently. Coupled with the other methods of spawning in, I think uplinks (in their current form) take away the value of positioning (tactical maneuvers and/or fortifications) in-game.

I want to know your thoughts on how force projection should work in DUST, and if you think that uplinks are working as intended, or if there is some room for improvement in the way force projection is handled.

A huge problem is that the major flux strike is almost useless. It's supposed to allow a team to get rid of uplinks in hard to reach areas, however the fact that 6 can be carried means that as soon the strike has completed campers just replace them immediately. 6 carried is far to many, I would advocate 1 carry max only at MLT level and work from there.

Like I said before, if you go that far there will be no uplinks on the map and everyone will just quit or camp the MCC the first time they die. The maps are far to large in most cases to run to the objective every time you die from the spawn point. 1 uplink, that spawns a mere 6 people is garbage. Never mind the fact any stray round can destroy it in one hit. Supply depot's are rare if non existant in some maps, and their the only way other than dying to replace lost equipment

Nerf the heck out of uplinks if you want, but there better be a drastic increase of fixed spawn points around the map. More CRU",s better timer's at objectives etc. A lot of other FPS"S let you spawn in any where there is a team mate on the field, compared to that DUST's uplinks is pretty tame.

It might take far to much coding but another way to go is to make uplinks more like an active mod on a vehicles. You turn it on, it goes off and you turn it on again after some kind of cool down. You could make it time based (which probably wouldn't be that great) or spawn count based. So a milita one might do 6 people, wait 30-60 seconds and you can activate it again.

Frankly I have no real workable idea on what to do with uplinks. Yes it can be annoying to have people on top of things, but just to get rid of a few roof top campers it would suck to make very one walk from one objective to the next. Perhaps either decrease the cost of the major flux strike, to make it more viable to use. Or just slightly increase the effective range of the minor flux strike to make it a tactical way to take out uplinks. As it is now it seems to have less radius than a flux grenade which makes it okay for taking out a single uplink, but pretty useless to a group.

You don't have to walk, there's these big metal things you may have noticed trundling around the map called vehicles. What you do is call one in, jump in and head towards the objective real quick like. Theres also this really great module that no one uses called a mobile CRU, they're great because its really difficult to spawn camp a moving vehicle that's shooting at you.

The more you know!

I do believe the author was asking about the design of the uplinks.

As a logi myself, I think it is already REALLY hard to revive teammates, rep them, drop uplinks, drop nanohives while trying to stay alive AND still try kill some red dots. The uplinks are just perfect the way they are now. It makes it harder to do your job with all that going on and changing it would mean a waste of skills used to specialize in this field because you don't get to carry 6 uplinks at malitia lvl.

I say DON'T change anything. Don't listen to those that are going to cry =ƒÿó about everything in the game that is too hard for them. There is no could've, should've, would've on the battlefield. It's just do or die.

Great job CCP on this MASTERPIECE of a game. Get your servers sorted out and it will be AWESOME.


DON'T HATE THE GAME HATE THE PLAYER =ƒÿê
