try proto hives ... that's what level 5 skill is for ... to unlock proto hives and injectors.

I think nanohives are fine just the way they are. Militia gear isn't supposed to kick ass.

The nanocircuitry skill already gives 5% CPU reduction per level on nanohives/nanite injectors.

As to your comment about militia nanohives becoming more effective as you skill up, that's what unlocking better nanohives is for. Even the basic nanohive will restock a full fit and you can carry two of them, not to mention they use less CPU/PG.

If you want to run a pure BPO suit you'll have to accept the sacrifices - in this case, deal with a crappy nanohive.

I agree that it shouldnt kick ass . but it should hold enough to replenish one person , the chances are , that you wont be the only person resupplying off it . Plus you should only get one full refill once your up to level five .

If I recall correctly, advanced hives and proto hives have the same number of nanite (72) while standard only has a third of that (24). And are you sure an advanced hive isn't fully replenishing your ammo, it should if you're the only one using it. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're main concern is how much grenades "cost" the hives. I feel your pain, but it is absolutely necessary so we don't have people laying down hives right outside of a base and spamming grenades into it.

Also Nanocircuitry has the bonus of being the only skill that unlocks two separate items (hives and injectors).

I would agree if that skill had any physical effect on hives but they don't.
When making a cheap fit you are to have a poor outcome...that's the way it is. If you want more then switch to STD. They aren't all that expensive and you get plenty of ammo (or 3 grenades) and the ability to hold a second hive for even less CPU/PG. If your issue is that your a sniper then go for the Compact hives. If you have yet to take any armor damage then they will resupply you even faster then the STD hives. You can only carry one but the CPU/PG and ISK prices are the same as STD.

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

Where do you see a five % reduction ? Or have you not played since the last build . We skill into things to become more proficient in they're use , hence this post about them becoming more efficient as you put more skill points in to the said skill . Sorry for talking to you like a child . But you didnt give me much choice ....

I have only been playing since Uprising.

The nanocircuitry CPU reduction bonus is an undocumented but actual bonus. Try equipping a nanohive/injector and assuming you have skilled into it, see if the documented CPU matches the actual increase of CPU usage on your suit. You will see that there is a 5% reduction on CPU per skill level.

The only "proficiency" bonuses that make existing items more efficient are the skill bonuses on modules and weapons proficiencies. With the exception of nanocircuitry (by way of the CPU reduction), skilling into any other piece of equipment does not make your already unlocked equipment more effective, it just unlocks better versions of said equipment (true with repair tools, active scanners, drop uplinks, explosives). Actually, I have heard that skilling into remote explosives make detonation/active delay shorter, but I have yet to see this for myself.

So basically you are complaining about nanocircuitry in that it doesn't make nanohives/injectors more efficient as you skill up, when in fact it is the only equipment skill that does (in terms of CPU reduction).

Have YOU played since the last build?
