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?

I'm not so much against equipment spam as I am against the effect on game performance when multiple people do it at the same time. That's the biggest issue for me. I've been in many matches where the game becomes unplayable. If Supply Depots would refill all equipment and one could carry more (but deploy less at one time), I think the game performance would be much improved.

I appreciate, and agree with, your point regarding the strategic use of equipment to influence a match. Theoretically, if there was a Supply Depot near by and not including proto or LP gear, I could deploy 6 proxies, 6 REs, 5 uplinks and 9 nanohives all at the same time - then run off to hunt tanks with a Swarm Launcher. (I haven't actually tried this yet, but I just made myself curious.) However, I would actually prefer if all equipment had some sort of inherent accountability - I'm not as big a fan of drop and forget gear.

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

bogeyman m Learning Coalition College 70	Posted - 2014.02.09 00:44:00 - [1] - Quote Without changing anything related to restocking dropsuits (or vehicles) that have already been deployed (but not yet killed), increase the time required to change dropsuits mid-match to be no less than the time it takes to re-spawn at the slowest drop uplink. In other words, a time penalty but no ISK penalty for the privilege of playing multiple roles within the same match. This would significantly reduce equipment spam from people who deploy one suit, drop all their equipment, swap suits, deploy more equipment, etc, etc, etc without any penalty or cost.

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 471	Posted - 2014.02.09 01:15:00 - [3] - Quote 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.

This isn't much of a penalty, waiting an extra few seconds to swap suits - it's really more of a mild disincentive. (A slap on the wrist rather than a kick in the teeth.) If it wasn't clear, this is only targeted at people that are already in play and are looking to "game the system". I am NOT proposing any changes to the current ability to change suits after actually dying and before your next respawn.

It can't be, that you switch to a proto suit, spam all available equipment on it, and change back to militia without any cost. Equipment on the field, should always be taken out of the asset pool.

Equipment placing is one of the main ways for new players to earn WP don't inter fear with that if you want to see more players. So shame on you if you have skilled protofitting and continue to Espam let the new guys do it.

Be happy that the equipment spam isn't all 5 second uplinks and triage hives that repair 100 armor per pulse because you can't have more than one bonus apply at the same time.

That way, if they pushed to a new location, they could drop more equipment and the older stuff would cease to exist.

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.

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. I used to have similar issues dying A LOT in my AV rig. That gets expensive once you start using proto weapons - which is currently the only option with Swarm Launcher limitations. I have found a couple of Militia suits that fit my playstyle and allow me some additional self-defense options. I now die a bit less, but my overall cost of running a SL has gone down considerably. Yes, not having access to a Supply Depot is a pain in the a$$. Again, having an added time delay in changing suits is not actually a 'penalty' - it would simply minimize the temptation for people to exploit it. If there ends up being some sort of 'deployed' equipment cap, I agree that everything should be restockable at a Supply Depot. (This would also remove the need for people to swap into a fresh version of the same suit just to refill equipment.) Duct tape 2.0 > Have WD-40; will travel.

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.
