You guys didn't understand.

This glitch allows you to exceed the deployable equipment limit. You can drop 10, 20, 50 nanohives, uplinks or whatever you want by doing that.

The OP is not talking about restock...

Attn: CCP Logibro

Please explain why this thread was on your report this week. If you limit equipment use in this game, you are no logibro of mine. Let logis be who they are and play the game the way they see fit. There is no bug to fix here.

Seriously. DON'T. RESTRICT. EQUIPMENT. USE.

The equipment was already limited, you found a way to exploit a glitch to bypass the maximum equipment out. He's not restricting you, you are cheating him.

I Feel a good fix for this would be: When someone swaps suits at a supply depot, any new equipment they chunk down splodes the last suit's equipment on a one for one basis. It is how it works when you use normal nanohives and throw down more than they support.

Your dropsuit does not have forty equipment slots, it has up to four. Even if you were to toss down four types of equipment, swapping suits for four different equipments should pop the previous ones. You don't have eight equipment slots, you have between one to four.

It IS a glitch. You were never supposed to be able to diarrhea spam equipment like this. That is why there are hard limits on each piece, and a limited number of equipment slots on the suits themselves. You are blatantly cheating with a broken mechanic.

So my equipment should also dissapear whenever I die then?

...

There is a simple fix for this. Make it so you can no longer change suits at a supply depot. They would act like undepleting ammo nanohives only, refreshing ammuntion/grenades/explosives but not nanohives/uplinks/armor/shield etc. Therefore anything you bring on a suit to the battlefield will be lost when you die, and the only option for "saving" that suit is surviving the match. After all, if players can't swap suits to change equipment, why should they be allowed to swap suits to change to different weapons when the circumstances necessitate it?

...

Equipment will still survive past one's death which is as it should be, and will not "pop" if further equipment is dropped, since players will be eating a significant and unavoidable loss of ISK to field this equipment. If you are a vehicle user and call in multiple vehicles for your squadmates to use, does the first get blown up when you call in the second? Equipment should be the same.
...

We should probably move to the Feedback and Requests section and talk about uplinks there though and let this thread die.

Uplinks are not the real problem; it's hives. Every time I've seen this exploit used to bog down a match, it has been done through the use of hives. In any case, it is doubtful this will ever get fixed as has been on CCP's backlog for a while now and is definitely not priority. Funny enough, fixing this would also fix a huge amount of reports about PC lowering in frames per second as there are PC players that use this exploit to make up for their lack of gun game. Not only that but this issue will only get worse as CCP increases types of deployed equipment and/or the player count in matches (if that ever actually happens at this point).

Status: We're aware of complaints, but exact cause is hard to nail down. Still looking into this. Recent playtests with equipment spam didn't show dramatic performance hits. More information from players on circumstances and conditions would be useful.
