Is bad and needs to go.

Make CRUs, Drop Uplinks and mCRUs more important, remove the ability to spawn on objectives.

100%

Planetside 2 used to have spawn rooms right near the capture objectives, and it meant that you could just spam out of the spawn room with shotguns and contest the point forever. Moving the spawn rooms away was one of the few things they did right.

Getting to the objective and starting the hack only to have a shotgunner spawn right outside and one-shot you is kinda crappy. Once you've hacked the CRU near the objective, you should be in the clear.

im good with this. Makes defending actually important. Makes Scouts more viable imo as they can actually use their speed more. Also makes using LAV's for transports more fulfilling and a more dynamic battleground in general.

Quick question though, what happens when a new tactic emerges to destroy every CRU? Only drop uplinks and MCC spawn at that point? Might make players more resistant to losing the redline which is something I would like to get rid of.

Maybe new CRU's drop in after one is destroyed? On a timer perhaps, such as 5 min after a CRU is destroyed one is randomly dropped? Just thinking out loud. Then maybe we could do this and get rid of the red line.

PC would be different. Ideally once we can use our WP to place installations tactically, PC would not randomly respawn CRU's, you would use your WP to purchase them.

+1
Also, Uplinks need to be fixed so that they're not so damn obvious on the scanner.

Killing CRUs isn't a new tactic, though it would make a nice segue to allowing us to spend WP on CRUs.

Test it with just CRUs, then as data accumulates and we see how the system handles us placing our own ****, open up the rest of the installations.

Alright, for this to work, I think each objective should have 3-4 spawn rooms which you can't be killed in and can not shoot out of similar to planetside two, these rooms also can not be destroyed, once you leave these rooms you can not enter back into them. Also all damage is reduced to 0 for two seconds after leaving such a room. This allows for players to not be heavily camped, that the enemy will not know which one they will exit from, and so that a logi does not decide to mine all the doors to get some easy kills.

This would allow for spawns to be placed around 100m away from the spawn point, yet give the defenders an advantage in a way, yet allow for the attackers to get to the objective and hold it effectively. This would also make the CRU's just as vital as they ever were yet have people not want to just nuke them on sight I think.

Some sort of spawns which cannot be destroyed need to be maintained to prevent even more redlining.
That being said having them separated from the null cannons seems fine (especially once uplinks are fixed so they don't show up everywhere for no good reason).

It's also worth noting that even now in current game state getting hacks off on a properly cleared objective without getting shot isn't that hard. Part 1, run with a squad who will actually use teamwork and over you. Part 2, level up your hacking skills.
The above works even better if you have a support logi designated to hack and running a codebreaker or two.
The spawning system could be polished, but that doesn't mean players should neglect using the tools that are already available within the game.
