The Problem:
Spawn Campers.
The incidental "random" spawn auto-death.
Up-link campers.
The Solution:
Omnidirectional spawn emergence.
Dynamic Spawn Entry.
Omnidirectional spawn emergence - you actually spawn inside of the CRU, you then select the side of the CRU you're exiting from & pop out of a force-field door (just like the MCC's).
How does this fix anything? It creates multiple exit points that would need to be covered and allows you to observe your surroundings before emerging (preferably before you select the fitting you want to use as well).
Also, CRUs should have their own close reserve that is diminished when you spawn using it rather than the squad clone reserve. Once the CRU's clone reserve is depleted it becomes a massive drop up-link beacon.
Dynamic Spawn Entry-- when you activate the wormhole to use a drop uplink you have to "move" through the event horizon. You can adjust your position before moving through it and as a result you can face in any direction when you're spawning.
How does this fix anything? Lets you spawn facing the enemy who's camping your up-link occasionally so that you can fight back. |

Because clearly this is -censored- and through the cooperation of the -also censored- we've developed teleportation technology, but we're only using it to get our guys to the little boxes we put on the ground and only facing the direction that the boxes are facing, otherwise they'll turn inside out.
Or, you know, we could be using the drop uplinks to drop in. Scientific advancement of advanced technologies notwithstanding. |

-.o they really need to ease up on the NDA so we can get a dustopedia going.
If it is a wormhole opening on top of the up-link then I'd like to see a "window effect" then that you have to walk through. At the very least it'd give us the ability to spawn in a direction other than forward. |

Updated original post to be more true to the lore & "wormhole physics" of drop uplinks. |
