Its technically an exploit, more of a design overlook, 1 person should not be able to deploy so much equipment on the field simultaneously.

Equipment is designed to help complete an objective, its not to be spammed, we need more equipment to give us more variety and bonuses, so people consider more than just nanohives.

I respectfully disagree. If CCP determines that it is an exploit, I will live with that decision, but given this mechanic has been in place for well over a year, this would mark a shift in the dev's approach. I watch with interest to see CCP's response.

Not surprised that this is a response thread but I am surprised at the lack of trolling and rage.

Although I have access to multiple types of uplinks I only use the ones that I find most valuable. Because of this I normally only have 3 (2 ADV and 1 STD) deployed at any given time.

I don't consider it an exploit only because there was never anything in game that suggested so.

Now that I think about it, is changing fits to rep yourself an "exploit". It seems like it would be since it only works when switching to a fit that doesn't have the same eHP as your current fit.

`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST.

Sorry I meant to say not an exploit!
Its an oversight I feel CCP should fix!


There is no problem with restocking equipment, I personally feel you shouldn't have to switch suits to do so. But being to be able to "over" spam uplinks, hives is potentially a problem!!

Monkey - I have to say, I love your approach on the forums. You seldom troll. When you disagree you do so respectfully. Thank you for that.

One day, we must squad together!

From what i've understood is something like this:

• I have a logi with a K2 nanohive
• I drop my 2 hives
• i go to the supply depot
• i change suit with an assault with K2 nanohives too
• i drop other 2 K2 nanohives and the previous 2 do not disapper

This should be fixed

But if i change suit to the same suit my equipment should be resupplied like it's now and if i have different kind of nanohives (for example) i should be able to deploy them simultaneusly.

There is no "'over' spam" of equipment because, like others have said, you can only deploy as many as the description says you can. At max you can deploy 3 at a time, and that is with Proto. Yes, you can deploy as many as 6, but this is more strategy than an "exploit".

For example: I was in a Domination match on Line Harvest, and I dropped 3 uplinks on the pipes. A little later, my team took the objective thanks to a couple of Orbitals and some good players. Later we did lose, but we would have never taken it without people spawning so close to the objective.

This isn't how it happens at all. I know this for a fact as I am one of the "nanohive spammers". I use adv gal logi suit with proto equip (always carry proto nanite, so assume it is my 3rd equip). It works like this...
1) Spawn in with initial suit containing allotek hives and a stable uplink
2) Drop the 2 allotek and the 1 uplink as allowed by description
3) switch to same/different dropsuit with wyrkomi triage and guaged nano
4) place 2 triage and 3 guaged (as allowed in their descriptions), all remain on the field
5) switch to another suit with K17/d nano and proto rep tool
6) place 2 K17's, all still remain
If at any time you drop 1 of the type already in play, it will replace 1 of that type as long as max still deployed, but not any other. This is not putting out more of a hive than stated as it's limit, and it is no different than dying and spawning in with a different suit (as happens while going back and forth to depots in heat of battle).

Just making sure we are all on the same page as to what some are calling an exploit.
