Short a simple.
Add an invulnerablitity period to CRU's in the map.
It will be short, 3 seconds. In those 3 seconds you can move and shoot and it will not break the shield, so you must choose what you do wisely and tactically.

Leads to the incentive of hacking CRU's instead of destroying them (or vise versa)
Snipers camping a CRU might find it "frustrating" to camp and move on
Provides a tactical challenge for teams to fight and take control of the CRU, and it gives the spawnees a chance to fight back.

This will not apply to mobile drop uplinks, as the feature can be exploited...plus it counts as drawback for using mobile drop uplinks as oppose to using a CRU to spawn at.
This will not apply to CRU modules attached to vehicles.

If at some point CRU's are purchasable from the market, this feature would be an upside to using them instead of using mobile spawns or other spawn methods.

Again, this does not apply to all spawn points, just the CRU installations on the map (and potentially the ones you order and drop)

It's your own damn fault for spawning at a CRU that has hostiles around it, you don't deserve free kills for doing so.

It's your own damn fault for spawning at a CRU that has hostiles around it, you don't deserve free kills for doing so. Maybe 3 seconds is too long? How about 2? Or just set it to when you fire the shield breaks, but not for movement. Right...it is my fault for spawning there and I understand that...but the way they set up the spawn locations around the CRU, you would at least have some protection. It the spawn shield idea doesn't work, maybe set the location further away?
Tiel Syysch Imperfects Negative-Feedback 634	Posted - 2012.12.23 05:19:00 - [4] - Quote I'd rather have less predictable spawns than spawn protection. The problem with spawn protection that breaks when you fire is it allows the person spawning to dictate when the fight starts. Yeah a couple secs is pretty short, but imagine a shotgun user spawning, charging you, and is invincible up til the point he fires, which oneshots you. You can't do anything back because he was invincible for the couple secs that happened in. I know if I spawned in and was surrounded and invincible for a short duration, I'd start hurling grenades everywhere. Not fair to be spawncamped, but not fair to be killed just because someone spawned on you either.

I don't know if you guy shave noticed, but the map is real-time now and only the red dots are dependent on line of sight, at max zoom every enemy player shows up as a little glittering spec. If you see those around the CRU, don't spawn there. Its that simple.

I would allow turning. So using the above example of a shotgunner, they would not be able to close in to kill before protection dropping as moving would have broken it.

NOPE. LAME.Try again. OP has Idiotic Player Suggested Mechanic .I dont agree.
DJINN leukoplast Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 288	Posted - 2012.12.25 01:06:00 - [10] - Quote Anything that gives the player a choice where to spawn should NOT have any period of invulnerability. Like CRU's, drop-uplinks, and objective points. The only time we should have a brief period of invulnerability is from a random spawns in Ambush, since we are have no control whatsoever where we spawn (if using the default). The main reason for this is that a player makes a choice to spawn on a CRU, drop-uplink or objective point. And if their team is unable to hold that or at least show the danger by getting eyes on the enemies nearby, then you just have to deal with your choice of spawning there.
