Right now you can't drop a drop uplink. You throw it, even if you are facing straight down when you do. When people spawn on your drop uplink they spawn facing the direction you face when yo put it down. Why is that a problem? If you want to put it in a corner, say, to keep your guys from spawning out n the middle of traffic, you have to choose between having them spawn facing the corner or having the drop uplink further from the corner than you want.
I propose two changes.
1) Be able to drop the drop uplink
2) Have the spawn direction of the new link be the way your back is facing.
Thanks to the guys I was playing with this morning for the idea. It wasn't mine but I didn't notice who actually suggested it. I'll give the credit if I find out. |

Number 2 would be an improvement. |

I actually like throwing drop uplinks.
But yes, spawn in the opposite direction, please.

Or perhaps be able to rotate the thing before you toss it?
That would give you the four cardinal directions to choose from. |

How about the person who spawns just turns around at there own free will! Problem solved |

Because that definitely solves the problem of where you face when spawning.
If there are enemies in the area, you want to be moving towards them (and aiming towards them) as soon as possible. The current system doesn't allow for that. |

It would also be helpful to do a better spawn collision detection.
I've spawned in walls, and yesterday I spawned in the ground. I had a hostile shotgunner run right past me, he couldn't see me and I couldn't shoot him. |
