Some more tips:
1: Once you place a drop uplink, next respawn doesn't need to have one, if you're happy with where it is, and nobody has taken it out, you don't have to spawn with it again.
This means you can first set up a spot, then switch to a slightly different setup for the remaining lives until you need to replace or move the drop uplink.
I alternate between a type II setup with droplink and a regular dropsuit for nanohives for when I'm AV camping. This gives me a sidearm for when people come after me.
Nanohives need to be refreshed each life, I believe.
2: Go into the Militia section of the Marketplace and buy every item that you could possibly use in there. They are free, unlimited use items, and well help you with #3.
3: Make your own Militia fits. Both dropsuit fits and Vehicle fits.
This will help you tailor your setup for how you like to play. Make some good, completely militia fits that you can use to grind for ISK if you ever need to save up money.. or if you run out of some item and need to spawn ASAP.
4: Just because it's Militia doesn't mean it's bad.
I have about 6.5 million SP and access to every vehicle shield component in the game, and I still use some militia items when I don't need to use one that has a less demanding cpu/power setup. Look at the stats, and see if you really need to save that extra CPU/Power. Shaving a 10-20 isk off a fit adds up over time. I do this with my dropsuit fits also.
5: Train SOMETHING that helps against vehicles. Be part of the solution.
6: Have at least one fit with a drop uplink to it. Only you can prevent spawn camping. (ok, your teammates can too, but they're kinda dumb at times, so it's up to you!)
7: Train SOMETHING that helps you capture objectives. Assault Rifle, SMG, Mass Driver.. something you can use close quarters. Sniping and Vehicles don't win games, they just clear the field to help the grunts cap objectives.
8: Stop whining on voice chat. Nobody cares about how unfair your deaths are. You're being self-centered and rude. Grow up.
9: If everyone else is sniping, doing Vehicles, or wasting time.. you need to cap objectives. Someone needs to man up and take objectives. I'm looking at you, soldier.
10: Do you want FREE SKILL POINTS? Deploy Nanohives and Drop Uplinks at useful locations. When teammates use them, you get +10 to +15 SP each use. Skillful placement can not only shift the tide of the battle, but add up to a tidy profit. Win-Win. |

I belive spawn uplinks have a limited number of spawns, 10 I think so keep an eye on the amoumt of +15 team spawn bonuses you get. If ya getting close spawn and drop a new one.
Yes, they do. It's listed in their info, which people should always read for stuff they equip. Higher end ones have more lives. Generally if you don't want to count, I just look for my spawn points when I die, and if they're not there, I spawn a fit that has them and go re-place them in useful locations.
Sometimes people shoot them, other times they are used up. In the end, my solution works without a lot of fuss. But if you want to carry one all the time and manage them, by all means go for it. |
