DUST Search - To CCP Remnant - Concerning Future Equipment Changes

How about experimenting with simply restricting each logi suit to different equipment types in each slot, and making it a requirement that all equipment slots have to be filled (on Logi suits). Admittedly, if close to a supply depot it wouldn't prevent players returning to switch suits, but if they were intent on doing so, it would at least force them to not stray too far, effectively restricting their offensive capability.

Am a dedicated logi and I currently run a dedicated spawn suit with 2 x uplinks for the beginning of matches, but would be quite happy with this restriction.

Have also played a few matches where the frame rate was ridiculous - purely a result of the tactic of spamming the area around a supply depot with a solid bed of nanohives. If you drop equipment in the red-line, it 'pops' - how about possibly creating an area around supply depots where the same would happen if equipment was dropped (except remotes / proximity mines), and maybe also increasing the area of effect of the depots themselves to discourage the practice?

My comment on subject: Biggest issue is that each variant of an equipment counts towards it's own max limit. Because of that there can be a ton of similar Eq by one person causing several problems (mass spam at supply depot, detrimental corp battle tactics with unweedable amount of uplinks, unique fitting limit of 30 not being enough amongst others) As we do not want to cut down the number of Eq variants (...AUR Eq are also variants, remember!) I urge that devs have the bravery to tackle the not so simple task of creating Eq number limitations in some other way (I have suggestions in some other thread) Tank spam getting onto your nerves? An improvement:

Imagine if ppl beging to hack them (for wp?) instead of destroying? That would certainly not reduce the amount of Eq on ground. Tank spam getting onto your nerves? An improvement:

In a match with no supply depots: As long as different fittings could have different variants, 1 Eq type per suit would help only a moderate amount. In a match with supply depots: As long as different fittings could have different variants, 1 Eq type per suit would help only a negligible amount. Tank spam getting onto your nerves? An improvement:
