DUST Search - [BUG] Unlimited Equipment Glitch

Questions about this "bug." So I have my "spawn fit" which carries two uplinks (two max each so four uplinks) and a k-2 hive. If I die or use up all of my equipment I switch to my "medic fit" which has an injector, rep tool, and healy hive.

If I die does my equipment from first suit disappear under new rules? If not why would it if I swap fits? If I throw down my healy hive, does a k-2 hive disappear? Or just the first piece of equipment I threw from previous suit? If I use my inj/rep will my uplinks disappear?

What is this "equipment cap" for suits? Is it the same for all medium frames? So could I be just as effective with an assault after said bug fix by spamming variations of assault suits to the new "equipment cap?" Will it be per suit or team? Will a full team of logis be able to do the same thing at the beginning of the match and then mass suicide into assault roles?

I don't understand what CCP is seeing as a bug and how they intend to fix it. The only way to cure uplink/hive spam is by putting a team equipment limit, which then will become a "whoever throws it out fastest, gets all the points" scenario.

Quick edit: what if a tank spawns on the field and I switch to my heavy forge gun fit, does all of my equipment disappear? So we are not only stifling logistics support, but teamplay and reactions/tactics now too?

Once you drop all your equipment go to a supply depot and swap to the next suit, you'll be able to glitch the maximum equipment out per time infinitely by doing this repetitively. Equipment is limited for a reason, and people are exploiting this glitch to diarrhea pile equipment all over objectives. It is impacting performance in PC as well as public matches and fw. When something says you can only have up to 2 or 3 out at a time and you have 500% of that out, something is broken. It's not a bug, it's a play style. The limit is for each individual peice of equipment, not all equipment. Your bias is getting in the way of your ability to read, bub. yeah, I got a buddy.. deploys 16 droplinx in an ambush... games only allows his side to spawn on his... only 16 available spawn points... he gets 40X25 per battle... AND CAUSES MAJOR LAG ISSUES... this is repeatable NOTE: EVEN WHEN YOU DEPLOY "RANDOM" HE GETS THE SPAWN you know a single person can drop 25 active uplinks total right? this includes AUR versions. if there was 4 people who did this in a match you would have 100 active uplinks.

So we are not only stifling logistics support, but teamplay and reactions/tactics now too? its not really a bug... tested this out myself. what the OP is talking about is using every type of equipment. a single person can drop 25 uplinks, 24 nanohives,24 REs, 15 proxy all by themselves. that is alot of equipment to drop by yourself. now times that by 16 and you have 400 uplinks, 384 nanohives, 384 REs, 240 proxy and you can see why the system would crash with that much stuff out there. everyone calm down this is not a bug or a glitch. devs you can calm down this is not a real bug report.
