I would suggest the following: Suits obtained from supply depots are loaded with no ammunition.

People who are using the supply depot "as intended" are already next to a depot and will get their ammo refiled anyway
People who are abusing the supply depot will not be able to return fire until they replenish ammo & reload weapon

We avoid the puzzling question "Why does my new suit have damage done to it?"

This. I like.

Um... I don't.

Don't get me wrong, I would also like to get away from the whole "switch my suit to become 100% healed and invulnerable for a short period of time" nonsense, but this is built around the idea that Supply Depots are always able to give you ammunition.

They don't. And when some idiot spams all the clusters away by chucking nade after nade with no effect, you are left sitting there with no ammo and nothing to reload with until the Supply Depot replenishes clusters.

The problem you raised is an issue now, without any fixes. So if we can fix the problem of abusing the mechanic without making the issue of "A player cannot resupply at the depot immediately" any worse, then we should go ahead and make the change. Unless you (or someone else, for that matter) can think of a reason why this suggestion either makes the current situation worse or adds a new problem entirely, I think its a valid suggestion Closed Beta Vet (E3 Build), Former PFBHz Best Corps Battled (Personally): Imperfects, TeamPlayers, Hellstorm
