Now that your doing something with equipment fix the Remote Explosives.
They are equipment, not ammunition, stop letting them be resupplied at a nano hive. If they use the ones they are carrying then they need go to a supply depot and change suits.
Currently why stock grenades when you can throw RE's and do twice the damage and still restock in the nano hive.

After reading this thread I have determined 2 things.
1. Scouts think they should have the capability to do everything with the same suit SOLO. They are not OP and should not be forced to change how they play, everybody else should have to.
2. The players who truly play a logi are going to suffer from this, because the tourists who insist on vomiting equipment just for WP.
Equipment spam is the problem that BW is supposed to fix. I think BW is NOT the answer, there are much better ways to do this and the ideas in Cross's Logistics thread are the most solid I have seen. I know that there are no comments by a dev there, but I also know that you have been reading it.
It is very seldom when running with a squad that I need more than what my suit can put out at one time. But a player should not be punished for using multiple suits to change with the situation. The problem is not that one player uses multiple types of equipment it is that currently they are allowed to put large amounts of the same type of equipment in one place, mostly around supply depots. The fix to this is to put a non deployable radius around equipment of the same types. Granted one problem is repair hives with nano hives needing to be close for repair and resupply not a bad thing.
Uplinks are the exceptions if you want good fall back points you need to put out some well placed uplinks. Not 5 in a line out in the open on the way to the objectives. WP whores know what I am talking about.
There should not be any need to put hives anywhere near a supply depot. For that matter no equipment should be allowed within a determined radius of said depot. Drop links included, your better off putting them in a better location so your team can spawn in and retake the depot.
My last is RE Spam:
RE's are equipment, they are not grenades, as such they should not be resupplied by nano hives. It is a broken mechanic that you need to fix. RE's are a valuable resource that are overly abused, and the proposed BW is not going to fix them. RE frisbee throwers, yes I am pointing directly at you mister scout, only use one at a time. Throw, detonate, resupply, rinse and repeat until hive is extinguished. If you can not breach the area with 3 RE's then it is time to try another tactic, or use both your EQ slots for RE's and have six, but no cloak or hive.

I have seen them change things based on discussion threads before it was implemented, but alas I think your right. I, being the optimist that I am hope that maybe they will see the light.
