lets get this moved up. I said it before they deployed the limited ammo on vehicles, they needed a better way to restock them then current depots. With no new features, this means we have to make due with current depots and their horrid placements in regards to vehicles.
Rattati have you tried to fly a dropship, do you know you basically have to touch a supply depot and be almost on the ground before it restocks? There is zero vertical supply to a depot. Checkout some of the structures where the depot is inside a wall or better yet, one that is down a slop next to a giant structure, next to impossible to land close enough to a depot, I have been flying since the begging of this game and I have a hard time, I couldn't imagine a less experienced player being able to pilot for restock.

There are tons of socket variations where a supply depot is up on top of a building or down in a pit that renders them completely inaccessible to ground vehicles. A small armor repair ability for dropsuits is also something I'm in favor of.
please note that supply depots use to repair dropsuits back in the day. I believe it was removed due to players grouping around depots, you could spam grenades and enjoy higher reps.

I believe it was removed due to players grouping around depots, you could spam grenades and enjoy higher reps. 1-2HP a second is not going to be a noticeable factor in combat when most rep-suits now have around 30 HP/s. It is however extremely useful in terms of armor maintenance, particularly for shielded suits, and adds additional tactical significance to the holding and position of supply depots. EDIT: While I may be wrong about this, I've been in the Beta since May 2012 and do not recall Supply Depots ever having innate armor repairs to dropsuits. In fact when I first discovered that they repaired vehicles, I asked "Why not dropsuits?"
Not sure how you missed it but I remember it in closed beta and I only joined around June.

I would lean towards increasing it first if making it vehicle only increases the workload else I would be fine with that. Since there is already armor repair for vehicles only, maybe this is trivial, else go for the simplest route to get it done.
