A lot of people don't like how dead drops are working as they tend to be often risky for too little reward.
So, I suggested that we should replace the loot in a dead drop with an uplink with reduced TC instead as it offers more flexibility and people do like the idea enough that it's worth putting on the forums.
So, what are y'all opinions on this suggestion?

After seeing this discussed in adminchat, the general vibe seems like this idea goes against the "work with what you have" sort of design philosophy of sleepers.
It sounds to me like a better solution to the problem would be an update to dead drops either in terms of rewards or some other mechanic. But I think the point is to not give them very powerful stuff, since there are presumably other antags around already.

Who are the "lot of people" who think dead drops are too risky, and why do they think that? They're rare and I've hardly had them but from the times I did get dead drops they gave me pretty decent loot. I agree with kyle and I've never seen anyone complain about them nor want it to be replaced.
