I think this will be a major problem as organized squads can plan their equipment usage and regular squads will even have their assigned roles while new players and solo players will get screwed further and experienced players will be confined to slaying rather than filling in all the niches. I think it is a bad idea to a problem that had an easier fix.
Because, that's why.

[quote=DUST Fiend]It's almost as if logistics players will have to use logistics suits to provide logistics support.....[/quote
and Heavies with logis will be everywhere. There will still be scouts though. Why didn't they just remove the ability to switch suits? That and the minor flux strikes would have solved the equipment spam problem.
Because, that's why.

Your post is a special kind of stupid because he did not say that. His post was simple to understand. I have done it. Switch to a scout suit for uplinks. Drop em. Run like hell to SD. Change. Go back to position and primary roles. Honestly, this stuff would have been great to discuss a year and a half ago. In Dust current state? No.
See? The SD suit switch is the problem. If people have to suicide to make a suit change they aren't going to be willing to do it often.
Because, that's why.

Bandwidth will exacerbate protostomps. As someone who has talked to a few proto stompers they're able to do so because of said spamming.
Stompers will still spam equipment, they will just change the way they do it. They'll use a couple logis, a couple haeavies and two scouts. It will not be as bad but it will be relatively worse.
Because, that's why.
