Equipment caps are an iffy thing, but the best fix, aside from addressing the lag problem in general, is to put a radius around installations where equipment doesn't work.

Nooo!they make for good camouflage sometimes!

better to put in some kind of minimum distance between equipment deploys maybe

This exploit would work if you do the same thing on other certain spots, not necessarily near a deposit.

That's fine, a radius between equipment works too. I spam plenty of equipment myself but there's no reason to put two of anything (exception:rep hives) closer than 5-10m away from each other unless you are trying to pull this kind of crap.

(I guess maybe on Manus peak at charlie or in ambush it makes sense to put uplinks or rep hives around a supply depot but otherwise I've always viewed it as either stupid farming behavior or lag spam.)

or you know fixing the bug that alows a giant feedback effect from the ECHOs overloading the map would also fix it without changing any game mechanics :P

I built a suicide RE/flux Combo BPO fit specifically to combat it the other night. I think it's intentional, there is no other reason for 10+ pieces of equipment to be in there. Two fluxes got me 75 WP for equipment destruction the other night. Equipment caps are an iffy thing, but the best fix, aside from addressing the lag problem in general, is to put a radius around installations where equipment doesn't work.
