This punishes people who need to swap to AV in order to help their team deal with Tanks though.

What about: "if you are in a Suit that doesn't have that particular equipment equipped, the equipment you placed disappears in 20 seconds." That still gives you time to die and come back as a the same Logistics or to spawn at your Uplink in a different suit completely (IE, opening with as a Scout with an Uplink, rushing to a point, dropping Uplink, dying, coming back as a Heavy should still be a viable tactic) but it means you can't drop 3 uplinks, swap, drop 3 nanohives, swap, come in as a Heavy.

There is already a penalty if you switch to a other racial drop suite as a logi you lose the bonus.

Yes this is how the bonus works. I deleted my uplink guide so I can't link anything. You need to be currently in an Amarr or Caldari logi suit to get the bonus.

The amount of equipment one player can drop should be limited.Lets say 3 Uplinks,3 Nanohives and 5-6 Proxi or REs.

THIS. This is the answer to this thread.

**** you.
I already have enough trouble changing my ******* AV suit into something that doesn't get me killed after dealing with a vehicle. It's also ******* tedious to find a supply depot to actually get my AV stuff in the first place when a tank rolls up. Especially when a dipshit decides to nuke all openly accessible depots with their railguns.

I don't need another ******* penalty.

Also, I want my ******* compact hive to restock at the supply depot.

However, granting an additional hard limit per equipment type would solve all issues.
Aren't REs already limited by skill instead of meta level? IIRC you can plant more at once if you are skilled more highly.
That system should apply to drop uplinks and nanohives. One item per level, to a maximum of five in total. It's not like you have access to a drop uplink that allows more than one instance to be active at a time at level 1, anyway.

1) Correct.

2) Thank you, and you are welcome. I do feel bad for the players that I deleted it, but maybe they'll come back if Rattati actually does something with this game. I do have a offer on the table to him that I'll put back my guides in exchange for a bunch of officer laser rifles. We'll see if he goes for it.

I perform every variety of equipment spam - when necessary. Why in the world would you oppose equipment spam? There are occasions when good equipment can save the match.

Example 1. Proxy mines. To kill a tank I have to put out all 3 levels of mines. I'm not going to run around with a bunch of proxy mines after I have the trap set, because they will disappear if I drop more.

Example 2. Triage Nanohives. They are a waste of an equipment slot compared to the repair ammounts possible with the rep tool. My Cal logi is the most effective with ammo-only nanohives. With everyone swapping suits to repair up, why not collect some WP? And, if they can get back to the fight more quickly, bonus! With the new lower hitpoints on hives, front line use is a waste (too easy to pop them from use and AOE damage).

Example 3. Uplinks. Bad uplinks can be as much of a disaster as smart-spawn.

It's not an elegant system, but it has to be done. You guys want to just zerg rush the front lines - and then get mad when you run out of ammo-then die-then rage out when there are no good spawns?

If drop and forget can get hacked its a game changer.Keep it the way it is an let us hack equipment

I have 2 Caldari Logistics fits that I use in combat (as opposed to logistical operations). One fit uses Core Locus grenades, and the other uses Packed Lai Dai AV grenades.

I wouldn't call triage stations lame or spammy.... but they might be more effective in front line use if they had more HP and I could cary more. If I could carry 6, with 2 active at any one time, it might be worth using them, because they run out too quick, and I spend the rest of the battle searching for a depot or playing as an equipmentless slayer logi.

[IDEA] Let us resupply our deployables by salvaging enemies or their equipment.

That was suggested a few months ago already. Terrible idea.

I have a big enough bright yellow bullseye on me as it is. If I became a mobile CRU I would never stop dying!

You will see the light, one day. For your sake hopefully it is the light of God, not the light of my LR as the duct tape boils away and your dropsuit melts into slag.

As for your earlier post about your opinion being in large part based on game performance, a lot of the lag due to equipment was (shockingly) fixed around 1.6-1.7 as I recall.

I'll give you the same argument I gave then: We shouldn't be balancing things, especially ones that are fundamental to certain playstyles (yes, mine in this case) based on bugs or sloppy coding that causes performance issues. The goal should be to fix the underlying problem, not the symptom it causes.
