Would it be possible to spawn on your squad as default if you are assigned to one? |

+1 from me. |

Patches The Hyena wrote:Drop uplinks. Use them
They are not always deployed, and spawn points seem purely arbitrary at times. I can't even count how many times I've spawned in enemy territory with no teammates around me. Spawning on a squad leader also contributes to the squad functionality of the game.
Edit: When drop uplinks are active on the field, I do tend to use them. I'm referring to default spawn only. |

Yeah, if it has to be in, it should be a piece of equipment usable only by "Crusader" suits (still hate that name), and should ideally have a duration and cooldown so that you can't just leave it on constantly.
Something like a mod fitting? |

I actually like that idea better than mine. May not be feasible, but still an interesting idea. |

If my interpretation is correct, it would be more like an active shield generator or rep tool rather than an active deployment item (like drop uplinks and nanohives). Basically making a squad leader loadout. Logis have dedicated players. It might be interesting to have a dedicated squad leader set-up.
As previously stated, none of this may work. Just wanted to pitch out ideas and get feedback from everyone since default drops seem to be a bit random as of now.
As another thought and counter argument to myself, this might all be mute when a player reaches the tier 3 drops suits and can equip both the nano and drop uplink. As of now, I use the nano because access to bullets is far more important that where I drop in the current build. |

Sorry if this post seems like a waste to you, but I am attempting to start a dialogue and posting my observations and suggestions. Some are valid, some are not.
Maybe it is like a mobile CRU, but I am not leveled enough to use those items so I cannot comment about their effectiveness and relevance. When I am given the option of a selectable spawn point, I use it. Including in objective matches where I know I'm dropping into a hotzone. If the drop uplinks and CRUs are the only acceptable answer to spawning, then perhaps squad interaction is the more important issue. I'm open to a discussion on the issue.
The main reason for this post is to figure a way to bring squads into a more active role. And since default spawning currently seems to be erratic, I am merely presenting an idea for discussion. As it stands now, there is very little communication and interaction with a majority of the players in terms of Squads. If I am off target, I have no problem admitting it. But saying nothing achieves nothing. |

Use them when i run with a swuad i run logi with a uplink and thats what we do. i always spawn first and drop an uplink and they spawn on it so we r together. if its objective i dont have too because we got spawn points but u see my point.
Wish I had more guys like you in my games. My eventual goal is a tier 3 suit w/ a drop uplink and nanohive fitting. Would love to see a more active interaction between players. |
