Amaar get infinite uplink bw, cal get infinite hive bw, minmatar get re bw, and gal?? Or make it so they don't lose their racial equipment no matter the suit you're in. I have both amarr and cal logi. So nothing would change for me. As for the new meta, adapt or die I don't care which.

Otherwise, that almost dead scout that just switched into a heavy would not even be through his shields most of the time.. And thank god for the mcru... I don't care what anyone says.. I'll spawn in on them, drop a little ways away from a lightly guarded objective, and hit the ground running at over 10 m/sec in my assault suit.. And none of this answered my question about BW cost of the drop links :/
Vyuru Algintal Core Gallente Federation 65	Posted - 2014.12.04 06:37:00 - [34] - Quote I don't know. On the one hand, I agree that I have some concerns about BW and switching suits due to changing situations, AV and the like. On the other hand, and granted, using an extreme case, I won't have to deal with 40+ uplinks spammed all around an objective by a squad of 4 (and yes I counted those blasted uplinks) Equipment spam IS starting to become more common in pubs, I just don't know if this is the right way to go about it. Having an AV tank fitting ready to go, and turret installations just become more important though, as that's the easiest way to get some AV out without switching suits that I can see. I've only messed around with MCRUs until now, I might have to look into making a tough to kill LAV with a MCRU in it. I have to double check, let's say I have one uplink out, and I switch to another suit that can still support the UL BW. The uplink is destroyed regardless isn't it? Or does it stay?

Any equipment you deploy will stay as long as your currently deployed suit can support it. If the equipment exceeds the suit's BW, equipment will be destroyed (first to last) in the order you dropped it.. Like changing suits into smaller BW OR DROPPING MORE EQUIPMENT

This is exactly why BW was introduced.. We aren't supposed to be one man armies.. Heavies don't have equipment for a reason.. This does make me wonder though... If you do drop an uplink, can u still spawn on it as a heavy, then it is destroyed? Or do u get trapped in the wormhole half way in and commit suicide? Haha!!
jane stalin Ametat Security Amarr Empire 28	Posted - 2014.12.04 09:18:00 - [38] - Quote I assume that as soon as you change to a fitting with a lower band width , then your equipment pops so this would happen before you deploy, In the short term equipment spam needs to go In the long term I want a dynamic game with giant opening doors and areas with a countdown to an orbital strike If you are a heavy that outsmarts the assaults then you engage them at close range and murder them and if the assaults outsmart you then they murder you at long range.

That doesn't make sense that choosing/looking at a fitting would destroy your equipment... But, you're right, neither does being able to spawn in on a link you dropped if u can't support the BW... Guess we will find out next week :/

Yeah right, use the squishiest Medium suits with no useful bonus to play assault. The slayer logi died along time ago for a reason and this is not going to create a resurgence of the slayer logi.

Mejt0 Fat'Kids are Hard to Kidnap 556	Posted - 2014.12.04 16:54:00 - [42] - Quote You guys just need to adapt. I'm sure that 90% of us are starting the game with spaming Uplinks and then we slay reds in Assault/Scout suit. I'm doing it. And for good reason, i won't be able to do this after 1.10. I'll focus on killing reds/thier links. Especially with new orbital. Games with squad will be for sure more dynamic. Running solo now will be pain in the a$$ if your team won't put effort. That's good. Caldari Loyalist Markiplier fan. Got 6815 WP only on wrecking tanks with Ion Cannon.
ACT1ON BASTARD Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 249	Posted - 2014.12.05 01:17:00 - [43] - Quote Well damn I guess well just see how it goes. I think a better idea would have been to restrict the amount of equipment say per 10-20 meters or something like that.
