Check out this thread, there is a possibility that drop uplinks are bugged.
Some say they can be used by non-squad member teammates to spawn in Skirmish, others say only squad members can spawn on them in Skirmish. Its worth looking into. If its not a bug, then please clarify who can spawn on a drop uplink in the item descriptions.

Here is a quote from the thread.

I can tell for an absolute fact that there have been both cases:
- Teammates (blues) can spawn on my uplinks. I've seen it happen realtime, on map.
- Teammates (blues) can NOT see and spawn on my links. It has been veryfied by teammates on comms. Furthermore, I've personally walked around and found a blue uplink, finding happening the same way as red upllinks. After walking away, blue link disappears on minimap. After death, the link is not there to be used.
I'm assuming there is a bug (unless there is some hidden attribute within links.) |

It appears most of us have access to two types of DropLinks. First is the militia variant. Second is a Hacked DropLink that we got during one of the matches/request for stress testing in the last month or so. I really don't recall when some of these goodies showed up.
However, the point is a standard DropLink will only work for squad members. A hacked one will work for all blueberries. I suspect there is some over ride in Ambush mode as they don't seem to make a difference there in my experience.
If you want to have more troops using your DropLinks the solution would appear to be upgrading to higher tier versions. Exactly which I have yet to research.
So, Bug? I doubt it. More likely working as intended. Better descriptions would help if that is the case. |

I confirm that :
- Blue Dot can sometimes spawn on my uplink (more than 3*+25 pts in less than 5 seconds, checked it too on mini map) --> I'm using Gauged Dropuplinks.
- I can see a blue uplink on the floor walking around, and can't spawn on it after death
I almost sure that I read in an uplink description that "can be use for the all team"...
So it seems to be a bug. Need a dev answer. |

To my knowledge, there are curently no, repeat, no drop uplinks theat cant provide a spawn for the whole team...I believe this idea stems from a few seconds at the intial spawn of a character it shows a "bluer" name....or "smurf"...but if u look at the name u will see it is one of ur squad...Then it will turn to the squad color... The only team spawns that I know of is the fitted CRU moduels for vehicals.... |

I might be wrong but I think proximity of your last death is what determines when you can spawn on a beacon that was thrown down by someone outside of your squad. At least the only times I've been able to spawn on a blue uplink was when I died right by it, I suppose that could have been a bug though. |
