Let me shed some light on this equipment controversy by explaining what I do. I have a series of 20+ proto suits that are exactly the same (GEK-38, KIN-012 injector, Six-Kin Rep Tool) except for what's in a single equipment slot. Each suit in the series has a different uplink or nanohive attached to it. After I deploy the first series of uplinks or nanohives, I then go back to the supply depot and switch to another suit in the series with a totally different uplink or nanohive. This allows me to deploy more uplinks or nanohives without popping any of my previously deployed equipment. I typically try to do this until I've deployed all 13 of my proto uplinks and 13 proto nanohives, but I'll sometimes continue and use the suits in my series that contain advanced and standard nanohives as well. Depending on the flow of the battle and what other support my team requires of me, I can deploy anywhere between 20 to 40 items on the field by myself and all while I'm also killing, repping, and sticking players with my needle.

Sounds like this is working as intended. Obviously you can deploy a full spectrum of hives and uplinks from standard up to proto, as well you should be able to do this because it is not the same equipment.

The 10,000 dollar question is can you shed any light on any so called exploit?

CCP Logibro,

Why do you and the devs take issue with this type of creative, sandbox play? Are you under the impression that we're doing something else entirely? A lot of logis, myself included, take issue with any assessment that refers to this style of play as a "bug" and we don't want this capability removed. Please dialogue with us on this specific subject.

If you drop a spawn point and go to a supply depot you can change suits drop a nanohive, change again and have a nanoinjector - all will work for you at the same time, even if you die a bunch. Its almost like cheating lol it requires no skill and no game knowledge, but you will get the most WP and most ISK and most Exp from it... Lame Quote: [BUG] Unlimited Equipment using Supply Depots - https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=108231&find=unread Status: We're aware of this issue and it's on the backlog to be fixed Logibro - Your comments here do not match the above. Did you read this post? If this was any other FPS then I would agree with you but this game is more about teamwork and tactics than KD/R. When CCP is done, anything that helps the team will grant WPs. It's kinda like the game's way of saying THANK YOU! as you probably just saved someone's life even without realizing it (reps and revives not included as you diffidently saved there kitten). They may not be getting you any closer to cloning the enemy but they ARE keeping your team from getting cloned and insuring you are not redlined. As a scout, I've gone 3/7 just today and landed in 1st. And I assure you, I wasn't sitting around staring at the scenery. `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

Bottom line: A team only of slayers will destroy a team of only Logi A bunch of assaults attack a point and are introduced to the logi's MD A bunch of assaults defend an area but what they don't know is they will run out of bullets long b4 the logis do. A lone wolf assault try's to flank a bunch of logis and gets scanned then mobbed. An assault attempts to hack a point and is blown to hell with REs. The assault clears an area of logis but are then surrounded by the very logis they have just killed not 8 seconds ago thanks to there strategic uplink placement. Let's not forget the butt-load of WPs they will be getting from supporting one-another so I suggest you keep a roof overhead as the forecast is partly cloudy with a 100% chance of orbitals. Oh, you thought it was just equipment that logis focused on? Lol only a fool fails to see the full potential of there allies/opponents. As a scout, I have died many times by logis utilizing there many sub-roles and I can say without a doubt that a single logi can change the tide of an entire battle. Someone said that a logi is useless by themselves but this only applies to "Bros" aka "medics". A DemoLogi can easily destroy a handful of proto assaults (Logis in my corp have done it on countless occasions). @OP: I get there your gripe isn't the logis doing there job but the way they are going about it(supply depot bug) but in all honesty I can't really see a problem with it. Not to mention the fact that most players think that the bug is actually by design. I am, however, grateful for the information on the bug as I was one of those not aware of it. If this bug is going to be fixed anyway then, when you think about it, there was really no point in this thread `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

People keep saying that spamming gear isn't strategic, but if you actually study warfare you know that logistics is largely a numbers game. The side that can supply more food, clothes, and bullets to its forces often has a huge advantage. In other words, quantity matters in logistics! Again, why does the marketplace have so many similar types of uplinks and hives if we aren't supposed to be able to use them in suit switches? Why would I continue to regularly purchase every proto uplink and nanohive on the market if deploying one pops the other? It makes no sense. Agreed. CCP Logibro, throw us a (more specific) bone here! What, exactly, is the "bug" and how is it supposed to be fixed. If not currently "working as intended" then what IS intended? If I had to guess, I would say: One has 3 Fittings (3 for simplicity) Fitting 1: Minmatar [STARTER FIT] with a Standard Nanohive Fitting 2: Minmatar Standard Medium Basic Frame with a Standard Nanohive Fitting 3: Minmatar Standard Logistics with a Standard Nanohive I'm guessing by switching between these fittings that, because they are different dropsuits, one could deploy 6 Standard Nanohives instead of only 2. Just a guess, I really have no Idea because I'm a Heavy. No, This will result in your hives destroying each other. Could be that you can resupply equipment by refitting but that too is just a guess. `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

"Takes no skill" should never be uttered when talking about ANYTHING in DUST. The skill needed may not always be high but there is always skill involved in anything you attempt to do. I'm willing to extend this fact to both the MD AND murder taxis (GOD I HATE BOTH OF THOSE ***@#$&@#&@#). I've hoped in a LAV with someone that was an absolute *** driver and did nothing but crash every two seconds. Due to the way the MD arcs there is some learning to be had (not much but still...). I, of course, say this at the risk of being stabbed by a bunch of injectors (but without injecting the nanites). `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

I find my self running back and forth (good thing I'm kinda fast) to place uplinks and then when I've placed them all I check to see if any are destroyed or if any should be moved. Afterwards I switch to my scanner and go to work. I even see some scouts playing a sub-medic role by fitting reps or needles (scouts can fit any role but it just take a bunch of extra effort to be effective). `Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.
