The only possible way to have more than the 'allowed' amount, is if you carry ADV nanohive, Basic nanohive, and militia (or proto) nanohive, which means you drop 2x ADV, 1x Basic, 1x militia (or 2-3x proto), giving you a total of 4 (or 5-6 if proto) nanohives down at any one time. Swapping suits to replenish your equipment doesn't let you have more nanohives simultaneously.

OP: Please clarify.

On my proto suit I can have 9 nanohives deployed at one time, all proto level no arum. With out using arum gear thats the most you can get on a single suit. Uplinks the max is 12 I believe, using mostly arum and some proto uplinks. Theres no reason to QQ about some one throwing out 21 pieces of equipment changing suits once, they loose either of those suits they WILL LOOSE MONEY and ARUM in the match. (unless them manage to make over 200k in a match)

The OP isnt clear and makes it looks like if I put a Wiyrkomi Uplink + Allotek Nanohive + Ishukone Nanohie on one suit and Ishukone Nanohie + Wiyrkomi Uplink + Allotek Nanohive on another suit my number of equipment that can be deployed changes. I can confirm this is CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE, when the second suit deploys any equipment over the maximum the first suit deployed, the equipment deployed with the first suit is automatically destroyed.

With regards to the OP's post: ********************************* Logi Suit A - ADV nanohive, ADV uplink (can drop 2 each at any one time) After dropping both, I can select Logi Suit B, which has ADV nanohive and ADV uplinks with minor variations. If I drop another nanohive or uplink, the earlier ones I drop start popping in the order I dropped them in (i.e. I can only ever have 2 K-2 nanohives and 2 R-9 uplinks down at any one time. ********************************** What the OP is saying, from what I can see anyway, is: Drop 2 k-2 nanohives, swap suits, drop 2 more k-2 nanohives and repeat? This can NOT happen, and if you test it yourself you'll find out that indeed, it does NOT happen. The only possible way to have more than the 'allowed' amount, is if you carry ADV nanohive, Basic nanohive, and militia (or proto) nanohive, which means you drop 2x ADV, 1x Basic, 1x militia (or 2-3x proto), giving you a total of 4 (or 5-6 if proto) nanohives down at any one time.

I thought the equipment are limited by tier rather than name? i.e. if it's 1 max for basic uplinks, putting down a basic uplink and a stable uplink will destroy the previous one?

Given that it's by name instead of by tier level, it does seem a bit silly to be able to spam 20+ uplinks all over the place. That said, I can see this as not too much of a problem, given that you'll have to waste at least 15 minutes in a match running to and fro the supply depot, unless you drop them all in the vicinity of one. Given how sparse supply depots are in most games (1-2 in active combat zone, 1 in each side's redline), I don't really see how viable spending all that time dropping uplinks and refitting would be... At most, 1 drop uplink suit with 3 types carried, then 1-2 swaps to regular suit with nanohives etc. Kinda redundant having 15 nanohives and uplinks all clustered around the supply depot, only to be taken out by a couple of fluxes when the enemy pushes on the depot. Will try this tonight when I get home to form an actual opinion on whether this tactic is too OP or not, instead of making assumptions with no actual experience like the OP in this thread and many other have.
