It would be nice for designated squad leaders wearing crusader suits to be able to equip a cru type module / homing device for squad spawning. It's not always necessary but when it is, it's usually when your team is in a bind and red lined and is crucial. I did a quick search and found nothing along these lines mentioned so sorry if it's been brought up before.
Edit: Changed subject and wording for clarification of content. |

Any comments or knowledge about the command suits or specialized modules such as this? I'm aware of some of the boosts it gives to your squad so this idea seems plausible. |

I agree, maybe it should be equivalent to the meta level? You can purchase higher priced modules for more spawns per minute, or higher prices modules takeup less cpu/pg and so forth.
Edit: btw, thanks for the correction, I changed the title. I kept thinking they changed it the other way... |

I think you're partially right about it rendering uplinks useless, but there will always be times when they are necessary. When your team is looking for a hidden spawn, sniping perches etc. The idea of a certain number of spawns per minute or maybe even per teammate might help negate the issue slightly. |

An drop uplink has that nice tall spike of radiation sticking out of it. Is the suit going to have a sparkly tail? And then is the spawning suit to come in aligned to that beam? It's kind of funny to picture that.
We already have drop uplinks. The logi in the group can deploy one at any time it is required.
"But what if we move on?" you ask.
Well, I'd support the option of turning the thing off and stashing it back in your pack so you could take it with you. The same goes for nano-hives. I don't see why something that valuable and limited can't be designed to be turned off and picked up.
Could be as simple as a homing beacon, but I do like the idea of picking up the equipment instead of leaving it behind. Also, the post above made a good point about speed of travel effecting spawn precision, +1  |

If you don't mind many asking, why not? |

Yeah,I probably should have chosen many words more carefully, I just chose to write CRU because that's the module that is available for vehicles. Homing beacon was the other wording I used and that seems to fit the majority consensus. I wish I knew more about EVE because a CYNO jump beacon sounds interesting and could work as an explanation for this request to work with current lore technology. |
