Summary: While practicing a new trick while flying dropships I discovered a way to get equipment to deploy in midair.
Description: Throwing equipment (I primarily did this with drop uplinks, but I did do it one time with a nanohive) into the side of a building while airborne will cause it to deploy in midair.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Hold the equipment you want to deploy in your hands when you get into the dropship.
2) Fly towards anything tall, I tested it primarily on the new massive towers, but it seems to work on anything.
3) Moving at the correct angle and speed to give yourself a couple seconds before entering freefall hop out and immediately throw the equipment at the tower.
This should cause the equipment to deploy even though it has nothing to sit on. While testing it I repeatedly deployed dropuplinks in midair hundreds of feet up. This is easily abused, particularly in ambush matches. (And no, I'm not doing this anymore. I spent about 3 days testing it though, it works and is very cheap)
Notes:
Getting back into the dropship seems to speed up the deployment of the equipment. I'm not completely sure though.
Also, I'd love to see if any of you can pull off hoping out and back into a dropship you're piloting. That was the trick I was playing around with when I discovered this glitch.
I was deliberately vague about the exact angle and speed, I'd rather not suddenly start playing matches where everyone is using this glitch.
There is another similar way to recreate this glitch, that is MUCH easier. I'd rather not post it where everyone can read it though, so a message in game, or an email, or something not viewable to the public would be best if you want the details. It seems to work on the same principles as this method.
Side note: I may have missed it because I'm dead tired, but didn't there used to be an actual bug reporting site? I can't find it. |

Actually, support redirects you over here and my bug reports are still 'unfiltered' after almost a year of sitting there.

Really? That's disappointing. :( |

Support does not react to (any?) bugs, I wrote them 3 bugs half a year ago. We can see any feedback only here, and this is a bug.

How contradictive can you be?
I'm really curious about CCPs DUST intra-communication-model right now... |

The ticket system gets looked at(choose the bug report option), the bug reports don't(or so it seems). |

Nope, they will redirect you over here, they even tell you they have nothing to do with it and that a DEV will look at it over here.
Just shows how good the different teams communicate with each other. |

Well I don't know then. Maybe put ATTN: CCP Delamorui Eddy in the subject line.
Also, this prompted me to bump an old thread of mine. |

I'm really curious about CCPs DUST intra-communication-model right now... Sorry you have had some problems with them in the past.
However, I have had mixed results. Some was even good. Two problems arose that I wrote trouble petitions for (support tickets) and I got responses. Many of the bug reports I entered in Beta were addressed, although most of those were map/mesh issues.
Many of those entered here in the technical support/bugs are just forum posts, resulting in nothing. Videos or pictures sent to the support site seem to have the highest possibility of being resolved. That is quite low in my experience so don't go holding your breath.
Your mileage will vary.
