I rambled about a more interesting role mechanic for giving suppor before.
But yeah it needs a redesign of te game, something that needed to be done a long time ago, I mean it's fun that you can fit your suit like you want, but is it effective? isn't 99% using the same setup? Think about it. |

Hopefully they won't pick a solution that makes playing support roles boring and even more useless than now. |

Reducing the limit of equipment or **** like that won't work, sure it would maybe help the game but not the support role.
Your squads moves to a different position? Too bad you already dropped that hive, you are now useless.
Out of hives? Too bad that your gayass teammate of a tanker destroyed the supply depot.
Teamlimit? A douche will just throw all his equipment down at base at the start of a game.
...
Equipment-spam is only possible due to the game mechanics that promote scan-camping on the same spot and the passive use of equipment.
If you guys still want to think in the equipment-box then make it so that equipment gives only a temporary boost
(ammo, health, whatever...or dare I say a negative effect for enemies) within an area. The next 'equipment' could then be thrown down after a cooldown with no need of restocking.
Make people want/need to have a support role near them.
There you go just another idea, sucked right of my thumb.

What do you think about the triage and ammo types?
Maybe change the skill that for each level you can maintain 1 hive, this will have a maximum of 5 hives active at all times.
That's like 3 gauged and 2 triages, that's all I need for my team (spread out).
I guess a team will still be able to spam them if everyone does it.
God I wish I was in more games where people spammed nano hives, because I'm always out of ammo when I don't carry hives myself :P.
An active way of support still sounds like more fun, what do you think about that? |

Yeah because the current mechanics on how equipment and support works don't contribute to the problems you wrote down in your first post...I guess we can't discuss that and stick to same old crappy system  .

I thought it was weird you said " I'm already discouraged that the thread has devolved into a discussion on equipment" while the problem is related to equipment.
Maybe I'm not on the same level? |
