I've gotten these, but I've also confirmed that there are times when only my squad can see my uplinks. I've also, via testing, been able to rule out Meta Level as a factor (tho meta may still play a role in modifying some other active factor).
I have confirmed today that team spawns are possible in all game types.
Can anyone provide verification regarding what context is required for team members (beyond squad) to spawn on an uplink?
Cheers, Cross |

Well I know my team uses my uplinks. Militia and basic and the first t1 aurum version, but I hardly ever see the other team's. I'm wondering if it's an overview glitch |

Hacked uplinks allow the whole team to spawn on them. Regular uplinks only allow members in the same squad. They are also the only ones who "see" it as a spawn point they can use. Some higher tier uplinks do not allow team spawn, but reduce the amount of time you have to wait to spawn on them. |

I have, during my playtime today, gotten team spawns off of militia uplinks within every quick battle type (i.e. skirm and both types of ambush) so I can confirm that it is not only the hacked uplinks, nor even the higher meta uplinks, that can allow for team spawns.
I will be testing each meta as I skill up again (but that will take awhile). Meantime I'm still looking for more information on this subject.
Thanks for the response, Cheers, Cross

I have noticed it's squad spawn for uplinks. But I think after a certain amount of time it converts to team spawn perhaps. Because I noticed some blueberry spawns on my uplinks but it was never soon after dropping the uplink. It seemed to be after a minute or 2 after the uplink has been active. |

When we tested it it seemed to be whether you could see it on your mini map. So basically how close you were to the uplink when you died. Of course it's obviously very finicky when they appear or not, I'd be interested in seeing some results on uplinks that aren't militia variants sometime. I would assume that the higher meta levels are easier to spot for your team and thus have a greater range for team spawns. That hacked uplinks let your team spawn in on them would seem to indicate the possibility that there's a 'stat' so to speak that determines when you can detect it.
One thing you could do to test it in that regard would be to find out if and when your team can see a hacked uplink before they get to the spawn selection. So if and when they're able to see it or not on the overview map or minimap if that wasn't clear. This could help determine if there is a stat and the possibility that higher meta levels would increase this range. Another conclusion would be that it's simply just a flag on the hacked uplink that allows your team to see it. That seems like an odd approach though considering the higher meta level uplinks but it might be hard to tell either way. |

Filed a petition for clarification. Drop Links you purchase for ISK are squad spawn only. |

So I wonder if this means my militia BPO ones are team and standard militia ones are technically a different 'kind', but squad only...? This could make a lot of sense now... |

I want upper metas to be team spawn, otherwise why bother developing the skill... just toss money for AUR and put SP elsewhere. Think this needs some rethinking. |
