Problem:
- Equipment spamming and (possibly related) game lag.

Suggestions:
1. Limit ACTIVE equipment use by type - maybe 1 each for Standard suits, 2 each for Advanced and 3 each for Proto. For example, an Advanced Logi suit could only ever have 2 Drop Uplinks and 2 Nanohives (of any combined vesions) ACTIVE at one time, although they could actually carry more (maybe 3 each). If they dropped a third piece of equipment from that family the first one pops, regardless of whether it was the same model or not.
2. Allow all equipment to be refilled at Supply Depots. (Vehicles can reload, why not Infantry?)

Results:
- Infantry (Logis) can continue supporting their teams without worrying about running out of equipment or needing to change suits to reload equipment.
- Selfish WP farming is reduced.
- Lag is reduced.

Why not limit the amount of times you can scan with a scanner instead?

I suggested something similar in my thread where I went over the math of how much equipment you could have active in a game.

Besides lag reduction benefits, implementing the idea would encourage tactical placement of equipment instead of overwhelming your opponent with the stupid amount of equipment your allowed to have active.

we need the remaining pieces of logi equipment to become active rather than deployable.

scanner, active
rep tool, active , tells you who needs healing

so why can't we make hives and uplinks active

players brings out a nanohive, it shows an ammo bar for all players in range showing if they need ammo. if they do you turn on the hive and fill them up. when they are filled you move on taking your hive with you.

the same would go for uplinks. someone needs a spawn in, you turn on your uplink and they spawn in on you. no more spawn killing, no uplinks in places they can't be killed. brings a new role to scouts sneaking into enemy bases and letting players spawn in on them without the enemy knowing.

there is reason then to make them never deplete like repair tools and scanners. this in turn would bring down logi fit costs and remove every piece of spam in the game

If you increase one grenade you have to increase them all for the balance (Flux work against Shield HAVs and Shield Heavies as well)

There is a statement from CCP that the Plasma cannon is supposed to be a AV weapon. ( https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=133585&find=unread )

Make Plasma cannon have huge blast radius, but affect shields/equipment only (like flux).
