You forgot to mention different variants of the same equipment type!

Example: only one vanilla "nanohive" can be on the field at a time; place another and the first disappears. However, placing a "compact" or "allotek" nanohive does not cause the first "nanohive" to disappear.

Bottom line: the maximum number deployed only counts for each SPECIFIC piece of equipment.

How to benefit: I have duplicate fits where the only difference is that the equipment changes: R9, N11, and P13 uplinks.

When my R9 suit gets killed (and presumably after I've deployed the uplinks) I spawn into the next fit: N11. Because advanced uplinks can have 2 deployed at a time...wait for it...I can have six uplink up after dying a couple times!

Easy WP ideas:

Place nanohive on capturable points add the team begins a hack; reload them as they hack!
Use scout fits to create a perimeter of uplinks around the map; nothing worse than nowhere to spawn!
Place nanohives around supply depot; clones coming to change good or get ammo will soak up your hives!
Get an advanced scanner and a full squad and scan Scan SCAN!!!
Picking up downed teammates AFTER you finish off the guy that they mortally wounded and subsequently got killed by...easy WP.

TIP: look at the leader boards and see who has WP that is larger than kills x 10...these people get WP without engaging in combat only. Take heart! It's not hard to support your team, and earn WP, without ever having to resort to direct combat against veteran players with better gear and map familiarity.

While I'm all about being helpful to noobs, in good conscience I'd like to mention that perhaps mindless spamming of equipment like nanohives around supply depots might not be something we should be teaching/encouraging. You can still get WP from well-placed equipment and endear yourself to your squad for material contribution to the team as well. Plus, the less mindless spam in-game, the less talk on the forums about nerfing equipment! Also, to the OP: Well put. A suggestion : In one or both of these threads you should sprinkle in more links to the relevant guides, or at least the compliation of guides.
