I want to reign in equipment spam as much as the next guy, but this will encourage (Drop in quality will force quantity). If there is to be a drop in equipment quality, make it a 10% drop. So a Logi at level 5 will get something a little better than we have now.

Also, the fix for equipment spam is to limit everything to one active at a time. Meaning only one uplink across tiers, and one hive across tiers. Yet, to make higher tiers more attractive, increased number of items held. I'm talking like at least six uplinks at proto level. It would make uplink PROTECTION vital.

How will quantity increase when there are hard limits to how much you can put down, and the spam is already hitting those limits?

Heck make it a perk of the Logi suit. Another good idea would be that equipment dropped disappears if the placer changes suits. Dieing and respawning, in the same suit, wouldn't affect it, but actively changing your suit after death or at a supply depot would. THat will really prevent the spam.

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1713	Posted - 2014.01.23 19:38:00 - [7] - Quote Thing is, the best way to test the ultimate balance of equipment is to make them all 'maxed out', this is what happened up through 1.7. However once specific role bonuses boost up the effectiveness of gear, that obtained balance is then broken. By reducing by an equivalent amount, you maintain that balance when bonuses boost it back up. The fact that each suit only gets 1 bonus assures that all Logi suits will be used and that one is not particularly better than the others. This is much like EVE where logistics ships will only get bonuses to particular logistics modules. 1.8 Sentinels Damage Efficiency Effective HP
