How could they apply a change to equipment that makes it pop after you change suits at a supply depot, but doesn't pop if you die and change your fit? I think most people agree that if a logi deploys equipment and dies, that equipment should still be there after said logi respawns with different equipment.
If the problem is that players (not just logis) can deploy equipment and keep changing suits so that all that deployed equipment is active for free, then nerf supply depots so that they only replenish ammunition (acting like a never depleting ammo-only nanohive). Of course, this means that other players wouldn't be able to switch suits to adapt to the combat situation, so no more swapping to AV/swarms if you see a tank/dropship coming or whatever.
Another option is to remove supply depots except those that are in the redlines (so no depots on ambush, sorry guys). It's really hard and ineffective to spam equipment if you have to run/drive/fly back and forth from the frontline and the redline just to swap your suit.
A third option is to make it so that suit changes cost you ISK, but not a death. So yes, you can continue to spam your equipment so long as you are willing to pay this ISK price per suit each time you change it. |

Its mostly uplink spam that the problem is about. By no means are we hurting on logi players on this one. Its just if 1 guy can have 20 uplinks tethered to him, he isn't necessarily a logi.
Now imagine 4 other guys doing the same thing, it becomes whack-a-mole, and not particularly fun! However I have heard rumors that it will change sothat if you change to suit that doesn't have your currently deployed equipment, then the equipment blows up!
Which is fine because a logi can still dump half a dozen uplinks, but he now can't leave the uplink suit if he wants his team to reap the benefits, reduces spam, makes them more tactical again, now all need is the ability to jump to an uplink without dying first.
Have you really been in a game with more than 20-30 uplinks active (outside of perhaps PC)? As a logi with proto uplinks, I don't bother putting down more uplinks if there are already 20-30 on the map - it's a diminishing return since you expend effort and/or suits to put that many out, and with so many to choose from, the spawn points you get will be very minimal.
Where exactly has it been confirmed that your deployed equipment will pop if you do not equip a suit that possesses the same equipment? This would be a huge nerf to deployables and would have logis everywhere up in arms. |
