It's an issue. My suggestion since all shields recharge, require 100% shields before swapping suits to insure that a merc is not combat swapping. Please discuss. |

Agreed.
It's just ridiculous that a scout can run away to a supply depot and switch to a sentinel at full HP and mow down his pursuers because he's losing a fight.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

I believe is a way to fight (not good, not bad) and that is ok to change suit according to the target, but I do understand what you are saying too, so, just an idea, we should be able to change suits at any moment, but the x% damage done to the first suit should be pass to the second suit. So, if an assault is fighting a tank and he needs to change to AV, and the tank took away 75% armor and 100% shield, the next AV fitting, be it a sentinel, a commando or even scout and logistic, shouldnt have shields and only 25% armor left. Just an idea. |

I make it a habit when the depot and CRU turns red to kill it .
That stops anything relating to such from happening .
I've had this done to me before and I just live with it because it's to be expected by those who are smart actually and if you give them enough time to do so .
It could be looked at as an exploit but I just don't see it that way , more like giving someone the opportunity to take advantage of such and it's my job to not allow that .
I just don't have a problem with it but I can understand someone else's gripe .
I think we can be a little to picky trying to regulate everything that goes on in-game instead of actually doing something about it personally , like jihad jeeps , DS ramming , EQ clutter , highly placed spawns , redline snipers and roof-top forges .
It's just silly to me to try to de-legitimize everything that someone does in game that someone else just doesn't like but it could be considered a tactic .
I like the fact that I have to look out for things and the fact that there are actually people who are USING there minds while playing to even thing of some of this stuff .
Exploits are more or less like boosting or suit-imbalance issues or the shooting while cloaked problems where clearly someone is taking advantage of a broken mechanic .
I'm just not into regulating EVERY aspect of game play .
It's going to make this game vanilla and plain , also predictable and it will loose a lot of it's flavor .
I'd rather know that some situations I HAVE to use MY BRAIN and react or counteract someone else's attempt .

That's a pretty simple solution and I support it 100 percent.
The other option is to make you reload your weapons as soon as you swap at a depot.

Easier solution. Swapping takes 3 seconds after new dropsuit is selected.

very decent idea but then again if i strip your 800 hp of shields from your cal commando with my SR and you have 100% armor then you swap to an amarr sentinel with an hmg i now have to deal with you 1200 armor hp and i have a SR so yeh im screwed right lol
EDIT: what if total hp of first suit was converted to a percentage and then applied to new suit? |

1. jihad jeeps: MUST BE REMOVED! AV is overpowered and jihad jeeps are another exploit and tilt AV in to WAY OVER POWERED realm in my opinion this is why when 1.9 hit i immediately spect out of tanks, lavs and derpshits. when re's were "FIXED" so as to stick to red tanks and lavs them sticking to blue vehicles was a side effect that was to be fixed at some point so said some dev as i recall but never happened due to other fixes being deemed 'more important" also shooting them helps since you can hear an lav from across the map. shot RE = mega lolz. i use jihad jeeps as my only form of av btw and i still say remove them even though i don't tank anymore.
2.DS ramming: non issue, Good ds pilots don't get rammed. My advice to ds pilots, Get good, Learn to fly, Don't get rammed.
3.EQ clutter: non issue, 2 words, flux grenade.
4.highly placed spawns: non issue, shoot them when they jump down, get ds fly up n shot uplinkz kay. GG D00d
5.redline snipers: issue, remove redline, problem solved CCP!

What are you, switching suits directly in front of the enemy? Run around the depot and then switch, the moment you choose a suit, you can't be killed for a few seconds. You can unload half an AR clip before you can take damage.

supply depot is working as it is, just folk abusing it to gain fll health. there just needs to be a small delay in using it, although that could lead to frustration for folk who make a mistake and need to swap out or get the glitch where if you swap to same logi suit all your equipment disappears

"kill them before they switch" thats the point if i don't kill them they switch. stop defending a broken game mechanic with your broken logic so you can hope to keep exploiting a broken game mechanic dawg. no way to counter it im not asking for it to be changed to make killing them easier i'm asking for it to be changed so that it is balanced

you say its a terrible idea i say your logic is terrible and that you're a bad poster also this is nothing like the change to RR i agree the nerf to it was far too excessive the spool time is too damn high and the 4x kick was a better choice but still it too was too damn high
i'm making ideas and solutions and trying to have a constructive discussion about broken game mechanics but your just making bad post and trolling and you never provided a solution you attacked my english when you quite clearly were able to understand what i wrote and you gave me a straw man argument |

I say leave the ability to switch out when in trouble. Pursuers should be able to see this coming and avoid that HMG sentinel. However put a cooldown timer on when you can switch back to avoid people abusing the mechanic and constantly switching out during a fight.

It kind of sucks when a near dead scout becomes a full fledged Sentinel / Assault, but I still view it as a valid tactic. It's not a bug, so 'exploiting' the hot swap is akin to 'exploiting' the RR range, or the DS altitude. Maybe a cool down timer to limit how often you can do it, but otherwise I'm not anxious about the proposals.

It's just ridiculous that a scout can run away to a supply depot and switch to a sentinel at full HP and mow down his pursuers because he's losing a fight.
Leads to some funny moments though.
Was chasing down a scout, he heads to a red supply depot, switches to heavy.
Me being a Min Scout, I go right up to it, start hacking and strafe around the depot. He can't touch me.
Switch out to MY Minmatar Heavy.

The other option is to make you reload your weapons as soon as you swap at a depot. I actually like your solution better. Any suit you switch to at a Supply depot starts with empty clips, so you have to reload before you can do anything.

Shouldn't be able to swap out to anything on the fly just to pull out a hard counter. Needs to be a primary and secondary fit and you are limited to whatever you chose to run on thise two fits before the match. Therefore, if you didn't fit AV or scrub fit then tough.

The most irritating exploit is swapping suits multiple times in a fight to refill armor. I'm OK with it if you want to put away your swarm launcher and then actually try to fight, but annoyed when you switch multiple times in a row and cost me valuable time, ammo, or one of my precious REs.

My suggestion since all shields recharge, require 100% shields before swapping suits to insure that a merc is not combat swapping. Please discuss. what's not fair about that? you say its a terrible idea i say your logic is terrible and that you're a bad poster also this is nothing like the change to RR i agree the nerf to it was far too excessive the spool time is too damn high and the 4x kick was a better choice but still it too was too damn high i'm making ideas and solutions and trying to have a constructive discussion about broken game mechanics but your just making bad post and trolling and you never provided a solution you attacked my english when you quite clearly were able to understand what i wrote and you gave me a straw man argument Insulting me does not make you correct. "if I don't kill them, they switch." This would be your own fault, another way is to simply hide and wait, wait until they leave and come from behind later. (I mean something like this: The red I was chasing is in the supply depot, I should run around the corner, or upstairs.)
"Stop defending a broken game mechanics with your broken logic so you can keep exploiting it." So now you accuse me? I rarely use supply depots and when I do it takes around 2-5s for me to switch.
"[There is] no way to counter it. I'm not asking for it to be changed to make killing them easier, I'm asking for it to be changed so that it is balanced." I... I don't even have words for this right now... No way to counter it? I gave you two ways to counter it and you try to say 'No way to counter it'? You are asking to have an easier time killing your target! No, I guess you could just be staring at the red the whole time!
"You say it is a terrible idea, I say your logic is terrible and you are a bad poster " Insulting me again huh? Just because you put this () does not mean you are correct.
"Also nothing like the change to [the] RR, I agree it was far too excessive." At last, there is one thing we agree on.
"I'm making ideas and solutions and trying to have a constructive discussion about broken game mechanics, but your just making bad post and trolling." I did that a few times, nobody cared so I stopped... Bad posts and trolling? You must be getting tired of the same old insult, but wait you accuse me of trolling when I try to tell you how you are wrong. I wonder if you will argue that I'm a bad poster again...
Yes, I could [barely] understand what you wrote, but it had been crudely written. You want a solution to bad English? Learn more about English grammar.

I think it should be only possible to switch suits, if the suit is at full health.
If he's not, you loose said suit.
Same with equipment, if you deploy stuff in the field, it should be taken from your assets. So no free EQ spam anymore.
This means, that if you refill your hives or uplinks/remotes/proxies at a supply depot, you will loose one of each from your assets.
This would instantly reduce EQ Spam, since it would make it much more expensive to spam equipment!

Here's my rough idea idea on how to fix it.
Thumb Green wrote:Supply depots have long been a broken mechanic allowing people to not only switch to a suit with 100% health but also granting them temporary invincibility after they switch suits. Most of the time this isn't much of an issue because people are using it to legitimately switch suits or heal up after a fight. It's during a fight that this becomes an issue where people that are about to die can quickly switch suits and become invincible for a few moments which is usually long enough for them to kill the person that was about to kill them and it also gives them an edge against anyone else that is there.
My first suggestion is to remove the copy & pasted spawn mechanic used for switching suits so that there is no period that a player is unable to take damage after switching suits.
My second suggestion is to make it so that after switching suits you only have 25-50% of that suit's armor and no shields depending on suit type.Of course this would unfairly penalize people that are legitimately switching suits, especially those without armor reps. Which is why I also propose that after switching suits a players gains 5 or so armor reps per second depending on the suit until the difference is repped. So say a scout suit has 366 armor but after switching, it starts with 183 armor and begins repping itself until it has repped 183 points of armor; but a heavy suit with 1195 armor would start with 298 armor and would rep itself until 897 points of armor have been repped. This also should take into account any other reps (rep tool, hives, and modules) so that heavy couldn't get repped up by a logi and then have magic reps for a bit.
If it's possible for this to only apply when an enemy is within a certain distance of the supply depot then that would work out great as well. (I'm not sure how much of this would require a client side update)
On a side note, it's always interesting to see who comes out to defend this broken mechanic. Usually the same people that defend other broken things in this game.

I agree, but I have used the supply depot to switch suits in fights. The reason is, if I am firing at you and your not taking damage, I will switch suits to see if it is a bug or me.

My issue with the suit swap is the few seconds of invulnerability that leads to a huge advantage.
When swapping suits there should be a simple charge up time of the suits' shields and armor. I think this would be easiest to implement as it already starts from zero then fills up tho very quickly. |

It's not an exploit. It's bad game design.
If it was an exploit, the player would be using something that was clearly unintentional and bypassing safeguards through a glitch or loophole of some sort. Your team put zero safeguards against it. Zero.
Bad game design. So let's not shift the blame to the players by calling it an exploit. Instead, throw your co-worker under the bus :)

It's been suggested already, and I agree that the simplest fix for this is having to reload whatever weapon is now equipped as soon as the switch is made. It would have a particularly noticeable effect on heavy fits, which tend to carry weapons with longer reload times and have significantly higher HP pools.

Now that I think about it, I really don't understand the Supply Depot in the first place...
For such a small installation, I can't help but wonder how the thing carries every conceivable manner of war for everyone to use at any time without stock limitations...
Bleh, we'll just go with 'nanite swarms' that have all the blueprints to everything. Nanite Swarms that soon won't complete construction on new suits because #ConcordReasons.
Not to say that I'm supporting the current system but uhhh.... Really doesn't make much sense either way.

Now it seems fair one can go to a supply depo and change suit mid fight as downside is your vulnerable to RE traps or grenades or being shot while you peruse your list of suits OK?
The main problem is people who repeatedly switch suits JUST to refresh their hp..
solution..
add a 30 second timer so a player who just switched suits so they cannot switch again for 30 seconds.

The ability to switch suits should just be removed. It fixes most of the equipment spam and a lot of the complaints vehicle users ate having with swarms.

I never understood why we switch suites at a supply depot to begin with. It's not like you undress your clone and slip into something more comfortable,... you literally change your clone. So, in my eyes a CRU is the right place for this, while the supply depot is used for restocking gear.
Regardless, unless you trade in your clone with 100% health (Armour), it should be discarded as would any defective material, and you loose the suite (it would not return to your inventory).
If you want to hot swap 10 suites in the middle of the battle, fine....But you will loose 9 of them in the process. The only difference to staying in your suite (and dying) would be a nicer KDR, financially it would be the same.
This puts a very real cost on hot swapping, withouth resorting to artificial limitations as damage transfer and time limits.

That wouldn't change anything for tanks, back in the days of unlimited ammo, when tanks used to destroy every depot, I just suicided my clone to get back with AV... And I'll do that anytime, the depot is to far away.

Actualy this is fair feature then exploit.
Why? This takes time. This is your and yours opponent risk to change or engage this situation. You dont like it , but this -quasi-exploit can do anyone... and this is fair. You are aware more then any 'official exploit' in this game like: - murder taxi (no time for vehicle 'mount' ;) - scout's 'decloak' + weapon shot that can be done only by someone in specific situations.
Supply depot is now valid strategical target. Just now, after vehicle changes.
Only changes can be: - changing dropsuit only at clone vat - but this negates supply depots (you still drop all nano or any exploited dropsuit with min/max HP regen abilites) - at supply depot you can refil ammo - and this will work like smal clone vat - without clones
So again ... this is not exploit.
Not much time left...

I've begun to notice people doing that A LOT so I made a Logistics gk.0 dropsuit variation equipped with remote explosives, f/45 remote explosives, boundless remote explosives and a nanohive JUST so I could find red CRU's and supply depots and destroy them.

i still think that needing 100% shields is the fairest way to do this. If you have full shields your not in combat and since it takes a short time for shields to charge up on all suits its a non issue. If you shield tank your shields charge very quickly if you armor tank then you have plenty of armor hp under your shields and not much shield so they take less time to charge. what i don't like is that shield and armor percentage caries over it was already brought up here. the issue is with swapping from shield suits to armor suits.
i don't like the hack the suply depot every time you want to use it that would just be annoying even if it was a 3 second hack and i can run around it while hacking to avoid bullets so can others.
if we went with the option of transferring over your first suits hp to your new one it cause a lot of problems one eg. being you win a gunfight you run over to a SD swap your suit. for what point? so you can have as much hp as you did when you swapped, now you just got shot once with a Bp from that cloaky scout who was watching the whole fight and was just waiting for his chance to butt seks you. also another eg is you switch from your 300 hp scout to your 1400 hp sentinel even though you weren't in a fight your sentinel now only has 300 hp and that scout from above just but seksed you again :P
if we went the percentages route id like to see that your whole suits hp is converted to a percentage and applied to your new suit but again this could be an issue with switching from a lh hp suit eg. scout to eg. sentinel you know have much more hp than you did before your hot swap and prbly a bigger gun too.
on the topic of multi swapping suits i'd like to see a cool down timer on swapping say 20-30 seconds.
the main thing is to come up with a solution so that your not swapping in the middle of a fight this is why i came up with the full shields scenario but if something like in EVE could be implemented, i'm talking about the aggression timer. so after 15-30 seconds of no aggression had passed you could swap, something to keep in mind for legion perhaps. |

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.

This also doesn't work because the "cloak delay" isn't quite that... it's more of a "cloak switch" delay; there is no actual fire delay once your weapon has been switched to.
Thinking more about this, I just remembered from testing about hacking depots back and forth with teammates on both sides. When someone accessed the Supply Depot, it was unable to be hacked until they finished.
What if, instead, the enemy hack takes priority over the friendly access of a Supply Depot?
Current Example wrote:I lumber toward a Scout and attempt to gun him down in the Supply Depot room in the Gallente Research facility. He has no remotes, inferior weaponry and doesn't want to die. The Supply Depot is in his team's control.
He realizes he might not survive the fight against my Assault suit and begins to switch to a Heavy HMG fit. I have to chase around the Supply Depot and start firing at him. As I do, he successfully switches, and retains limited invulnerability as he finds me and I get chewed to bits. I snap my controller in two.
Proposed Example wrote:I lumber toward a Scout and attempt to gun him down in the Supply Depot room in the Gallente Research facility. Same as last time and Supply Depot is in his team's control.
He begins to switch to his HMG fit, but this time - with the new change - the Supply Depot remains hackable. As he finds his fit, I strafe the Supply Depot and begin a hack on it.
This forces his menu to close down, as an opposing side hack is prioritized over a friendly request for a suit change.
I stop the hack and bring out the weapon and easily finish him off. What do you think?

My opinion...
1. Create a timer that lasts for 5-6 seconds that occurs between the moment a person selects a dropsuit and the moment the suit is changed.
2. In regards to the timer, I think it should offer enough time for a sentinel to follow the suit switching player around the supply depot in a heavy suit and finish them off- with a little bit of extra time to make sure all traces of this exploit are eradicated. It should also offer enough time for a person with a mass driver to empty a clip if the suit switching player is hiding behind the supply depot for cover.
3. HP% should transfer. This includes both shields and armor. This could be an issue with shield suits as others have mentioned though, but I don't think it'll be a huge deal and it can be iterated later on.
4. If the HP% of the suit being switched out is below 70% or some other percentage that CCP would think is fair, then the dropsuit is destroyed. I think that if you decided to bring out a prototype suit and were stupid enough to nearly die with it, then too bad, you should lose it. |

Sure it's fair. Otherwise you're saying I need to sit out and avoid combat for upwards of 20 seconds for some suits while hanging around a SD, arguably a combat zone. That's just ridiculous. May as well move all SD's out of the combat zone.
The coming EQ Bandwidth changes will take care of swapping an EQ fit for Combat fit. After that there really shouldn't be a reason for multiple hot swaps mid battle.
If multiple changes to fresh suits is deemed unfair, fine. However, if the scenario changes such that I need to be support or become combat then I should be able to use the option. Otherwise the option should be removed completely. Any timer involved should be minimal, maybe three seconds 'hack' animation.
Limitations to the number of swaps seems fair. That leads to strategic importance in the swap. You could even make a requirement for the suit class to be different than the one you're currently in. Don't give me a gimped suit though, just because YOU don't like the option.
It's a strategic point because it brings a benefit to the controller. Completely take away the ability to swap and you take away much of its strategic importance.

Requiring 100% shields to make a swap seems good.
Or you could simply spawn suits at 10% health and give the depot rep capacity and remove the nanite cluster limits. Give em like 30 rep/sec capacity.
And make them destroy deployables within 30m.

There should be a cost to changing fits at supply depots. Why?
- there is precedent for it in matches that lack a supply depot, and that works just dandy.
- switching fits for free, repeatedly, is counter to the concept of having limited weapon and equipment "slots" on a suit. Why not just allow you to use any gear you are skilled into at any time? Because the game is more than just who has the best gear.
- it will drastically reduce equipment spam without the need for the controversial bandwidth "fix".
- if it costs a pilot/tanker time out of game and risk to VERY expensive gear, why should a quick-switch to AV gear go without cost
Costing a clone (and gear) to make a switch is a price some will be willing to pay for the tactical benefits. But it will be uncommon. This change will not ELIMINATE a tactic, just apply a reasonable cost to it. This cost has already been proven to be a balanced one via battles that lack supply depots and players who opt to suicide or wait till first death in order to get a different fit. There will still be an advantage to switching suits at the depot because of the speed and guaranteed spawn location. If it is an emergency and your team really needs it NOW, you can still make it happen. It's just that it won't be "free" and so you'll have to make a strategic decision to do it.

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

Why not just add a 1 second timer to access the supply depot by holding the 'x' button?

Sometimes the supply depots tend to be stingey on giving away that ammo so i feel like i am forced to swap suits back and forth to get the ammo back quick. Seriously i could be standing next to a supply depot for a whole minute before it gives a single ammo round.
So if that was fixed I wouldn't mind there being a timer on the supply depot, much like everyone has to hack the supply depot everytime they want to use it.
If your team has the supply depot then the time it takes to access it should be about half the time it takes to hack a neutral or enemy supply depot.
Problem solved I think, except for the coding... have fun with that one :D

Suggestion:
Changing Frames is impossible, without loosing The Suit and a clone. Changing loadouts on the same Frame, would be possible, but costs you the modules on the old suits, which go into battlefield salvage. Same goes for weapons, if other type is used. So pretty much everything that changes is lost.
This would make it possible, to change to different equipment/weapons at a cost. HP modules would start empty (when changed) and would have to recharge on the suit. If you are already in the base HP of the suit, this would carry over.
So only changing class would loose a clone plus the complete loadout, but adaptiing within the role would just kost isk for the changed weapons/modules/equipment. This would also prevent Officer Weapon saving at supply depots, since you would have to leave them on the field.

You currently have the beginnings of a fix in place.
You'll notice that if you swap into a different fitting with the same base suit, you recieve no healing. Even if the HP values are different.
For example, when playing the research facility domination I will use a Mass Driver Suit to breach the Enemies Ant's nest. I will then change into my Shotgun suit in order to defend the point. Both suits use a Minmatar Assault as a base, as such if I switch between them I often have to switch to a heavy suit first in order to recieve healing.
People should not be using Supply Depots AT ALL in a combat situation. Not even onc.
I would suggest that switching suits has the following effects. 1- Weapon pick up timer, just like the cloak, dramtically delay the time between switching to a new suit and firing it's weapon. The amount of times I've got someone down to 50 eHP then they change to a Hvy with a BHMG is ridiculous.
2- Only give 20% of eHP as healing when swapping between suits. Allowing someone to change into a brand new undamaged suit will always give a benifit in combat even with the first penalty
3- Add a Skill load delay. Does everyone remember that bug we had at the beginning of 1.7/1.8? Where for nearly 30 seconds none of your passive skills would load in? Do this when swapping suits but only for 5 seconds.
Basically, no one should think. Damn this guy is shooting me, I need to change suits.
It should instead be, Damn, this suit isn't designed for this engagement, I need to finish this quickly so I can change and rep before his friends turn up.
They call me the Monkey - I like to jump off sh** and piss RE's all over your tank!

Remove the invulnerability and add a small cooldown after the suit has began to be build up.
That should be a better choice instead of the "Armor/Shield % carries over"

@Clone I'm sorry I have been giving reasons to why this isn't a broken mechanic and ways to stop the 'problem' of people abuse the poor supply depots
I thought you'd put aside your hatred for me, stop insulting me, and look at reason. You have yet to respond to me without an insult.
Your 'problem' is people switching in combat, if they were to switch in combat they would be easy to kill, thus stopping people from abusing the supply depots.
HP carrying over will not, they will just switch to a heavy and mow you down before you can kill them.
I have posted an idea, to keep the person in one place for X amount of time, you ignored it. I defend no broken mechanics, I want the best for this game and I love it to death for if I had never played it I'd probably died by my own hands. (BTW thank you CCP... thank you)
I argue my point, yes, but to exploit it? no, I don't exploit anything really. I have killed everyone on a map with an RE by accident, I have found glitches that would play to my advantage, but I don't post everywhere on the forums because that will tell everyone about it and it will be abused like all hell. I would like to send a ticket in for 2 glitches I know of that I have used before (only once each time, when I discovered it because I thought 'cool, I found something myself! but this is disgraceful...' then I stop. Can someone tell me how to send a ticket in to get these fixed? both on Ashlands, not going to say where on the forums though.
Anyway, stop insulting me. I want the best for this game, I will put aside my hatred for it to improve.

That's just how I play the game. (Shrug) I've had "nova knifers" try to duel just to attempt to shotgun me in the face. Or Gal/Cal or other Min Scouts run off to the depot when I chase them. Like dude! I'm chasing you with knives equipped, don't be a sissy.

dude i was not accusing you personally of using an exploit and as it is now its a thing ppl can do But its an issue and ppl are EXPLOITING it and it needs to be fixed i feel that waiting till you shields a full before you can switch a suit is very fair sice Shield tanks change fast and armor tanks have little shields to charge so tell me do you see an issue with this very simple and elegant solution? |

When swapping suits there should be a simple charge up time of the suits' shields and armor. I think this would be easiest to implement as it already starts from zero then fills up tho very quickly. this is bad because you switch then you get one shotted when shield and armor are charging and thats not fair at all. also in vulnerability needs to be removed as it is now i can stand there and continually switch suits for the whole match while the entiere read team is shooting me useing res and tanks and **** and i will take no damage untill sup. dept. is destroyed now please tell me thats not an exploit!!! I'll start with why deezy has a good point. It will stop people from changing IN COMBAT you shouldn't have to worry about being shot when changing.
Now second. Your idea and why it give advantages to armour tanking (and thus making problem worse) People who use this will simply go around it by armour tanking. shields won't be a problem to armour tankers. armour tankers also are harder to kill than shield tankers. Your idea would promote armour tanking and make the problem worse.

Tank recall timer was fine. Allowed those guys who wanted to get back into the battle quicker to do so. The spotlight went to the few who choose to save their money. Are they the ones to blame or CCP? Is it really any different than a mercenary who has prototype suits and is losing constant money because his team are not as organized, so he switch to militia fits-should he be penalized as well?
Cloaks has increased scout population. If cloaks were removed entirely, the population of scouts would reduce. The post story would mean that probably the scout complaints would lessen. There's really no problem with the cloaks in its form or function. This is a "kicking of the crutch to watch them hobble" type of thing.
The whining majority does rule this game.

I am no troll. I see not one person using these 'exploit' so I assume it is fine. Yes, that was a horrible idea from me... Deezy's idea however makes sense from lore standpoint and also gets rid of this 'exploit' Thanks for the link. dude i was not accusing you personally of using an exploit and as it is now its a thing ppl can do But its an issue and ppl are EXPLOITING it and it needs to be fixed i feel that waiting till you shields a full before you can switch a suit is very fair sice Shield tanks change fast and armor tanks have little shields to charge so tell me do you see an issue with this very simple and elegant solution? as for dezzys idea, i assume this is the one you are talking about. deezy dabest wrote:My issue with the suit swap is the few seconds of invulnerability that leads to a huge advantage.
When swapping suits there should be a simple charge up time of the suits' shields and armor. I think this would be easiest to implement as it already starts from zero then fills up tho very quickly. this is bad because you switch then you get one shotted when shield and armor are charging and thats not fair at all. also invulnerability needs to be removed as it is now i can stand there and continually switch suits for the whole match while the entire red team is shooting me useing res and tanks and **** and i will take no damage untill sup. dept. is destroyed now please tell me thats not an exploit!!! I'll start with why deezy has a good point. It will stop people from changing IN COMBAT you shouldn't have to worry about being shot when changing. Now second. Your idea and why it give advantages to armour tanking (and thus making problem worse) People who use this will simply go around it by armour tanking. shields won't be a problem to armour tankers. armour tankers also are harder to kill than shield tankers. Your idea would promote armour tanking and make the problem worse.
it won't stop ppl from switching in combat it will just make them have to decide if the risk of being one shot after switching suits is worth it and i feel that defeats the purpose of the sup dept and is too much risk for little reward also you should be worried about being shot all the time before during and after your switch
it gives no advantage to armor tankers, both shield and armor tanks will require 100% shields to switch like i've said before, shields tankers have shields that charge quickly and armor tanks have small shields that take little time to charge. armor tankers are not harder to kill. i'd like to know where you get that idea from? again i'd like to know what makes you think it would promote armor tanking. you can't just say armor is harder to kill and not give a reason, same for "it will promote armor tanking" based on what? whats your reason, your basicly just saying **** that has no basis from what i can tell. what's your support for your argument.
also here you said
"you shouldn't have to worry about being shot when changing."
did you mean?

I did not mean that. If I did I'd be saying "You should only change in combat."
I use a weapon designed to destroy armour and at proto lvl it still has some trouble with it. switch to AR, go against shield tank, boom I take shields out faster than ever.
You seem to promote changing in combat now... this thread was made to stop that problem...

man i have no idea wtf you are talking about and i'm almost certain you're doing it on purpose Listen then. If you have to worry about being shot you should not go to change your suit, and thus not have to worry about being shot when you do change your suit.
Armour seems to be more resistant than Shields

It could be looked at as an exploit but I just don't see it that way , more like giving someone the opportunity to take advantage of such and it's my job to not allow that .
I just don't have a problem with it but I can understand someone else's gripe .
I think we can be a little to picky trying to regulate everything that goes on in-game instead of actually doing something about it personally , like jihad jeeps , DS ramming , EQ clutter , highly placed spawns , redline snipers and roof-top forges .
It's just silly to me to try to de-legitimize everything that someone does in game that someone else just doesn't like but it could be considered a tactic .

Hot damn, THIS!!!
You are not mercenaries, you little fairies crying at every turn. Damn man. It's crap like this man...it's crap like this that reinforces why I keep my distance.
