If your not in a squad Drop up-links can be used by any other team member. It used to just be your squad that could spawn on the drop uplink but now its the entire team that's not in a squad.
Really spices things up in ambush... |

I think they were.
At least I saw pleanty of blue drop uplinks I couldn't spawn from.
Could be wrong through. Maybe there was a button I had to press I didn't know about or something. |

Three of them are team enabled?
We get one petition response saying only the hacked are for teams. This better be cleared up in the equipment dev blog and in their descriptions.

Before you could leave squad and freelance. Looks like they are making that the default now.

I've laid drop uplinks and had them used by people outside my squad. It was rare, but it happens. I don't know where this "only squadmates can use uplinks" rumor came from. |

I'm pretty much positive there was never a squad restriction on uplinks, and I've used them a lot. |

Drop uplinks were restricted before!
Any that you could spawn from are more than likely from merc pack owners (hacked uplinks) or they were in your squad.
I have tested this fairly well: join in ambush, get someone to drop an uplink then keep hopping squads. It disappears as soon as you leave their squad, and reappears when you rejoin. |

Droplinks should work for the entire team like they used to. It's pointless and makes no sense to not allow spawning on droplinks from a teammate, regardless of squad. |

Nope - anyone in the past could spawn - I used to have randoms spawn on normal DL's all the time about 2 builds ago. This was changed, and it is annoying. |

IMO, it should only be restricted to squad if it's militia or a high end version with bonuses. (Such as the faster spawn time ones.) Vanilla drop uplinks should be team wide. |

Maybe there was a button I had to press I didn't know about or something. I think they were too. But then again, we were always in default squads.
P.S. I recall in a previous discussion, the consensus was that in Ambush the whole team could spawn on them but in Skirmish it was squad-restricted.
This is interesting - we might finally figure out how uplinks work. |

Hacked uplinks no longer provide team spawn instead they allow faster respawn, i know this from corp battles, they were squad limited.
So yea gotta love that bs |

actually its not a bad idea but they need to have both team and squad ones and they should both be isk.
I mean If I put one down where I dont want blueberry snipers spawning I could use a squad, but if I want to have my whole team push a point then I would use the team.
That said this would explain why those stupid BB would never use my drop uplinks. |

Just did the test again - was in Skirmish and noticed that the random squad i had joined wasn't using the uplinks i had down, so i dropped squad to put down new uplinks for 'team' use.
When I dropped squad the squad uplinks disappeared off my map but were still physically there on the ground. They were no longer availiable as spawn locations for me.
When I put down the new uplinks in the same location, the old ones disappeared. On these new ones i got team spawns.
Need to perform the same test in ambush now. Anybody done this already? I hate ambush =p |

I place uplinks out in the middle of nowhere so I don't have to run so far when I die sniping. I have random teammates use them all the time. |
