Come on IWS don't look it up answer from the top of your head. You been CPM for what 2 years you should know how many EQ slots a scout has. Head starting to hurt yet? After you get done looking that up tell me how would making my BW go to 0 hurt me if and when I am running 1 scanner and a cloak. Do you need to look that up too? :D :D
Let me summarize here. You're unhappy that you don't get team WP for scans, right? That seems to be the recurring theme in your posts. That's quite valid and understandable. I agree, you should get WP for team assists. Probably not 15, but 5 is totally reasonable.
So here's the thing... Why is this in any way related to BW? Where is the relationship? I don't really see one. Why not just push for a more equitable distribution of WP for other contributions rather than rail against the unrelated mechanic of BW and the red headed stepchildren of dust, the post-1.7 logi?
And good lord I have to lol at the people who somehow think it's even remotely problematic that you can switch to a different LOGI suit and still keep your EQ but use needles and reps or whatever. Common sense would like to have a word with you if your brain tells you that this is a) at all different than before or b) somehow unfair that EQ based suits can use EQ in a more effective manner than others.. That's just idiotic.
...Or you are unable to get past your prior ability to wh0re WP in your vastly more viable scout or sentinel suit while I hemorrhaged ISK in my logI suits trying vainly to perform a dying role.

So I wasnt referring to you personally about wh0ring WP since I already read you run scans and it doesn't take a genius to figure out you're a scout from your corp tag alone. Chill, I'm being less antagonistic than it seems... Towards you at least.
Anyway, since by your own admission this is better than before, what's the major problem here? Iteration is always good, you can always tweak from this point.
Also, if it's better, it had to have fixed something. In this case the "playstyle" or "skill" of crapping out 9 uplinks to steal my WP (yes, MY f*cking WP as an Amarr logi) and then switching to an HMG sentinel has died the can't-be-horrible-enough-for-its-crimes-against-humanity death it so richly deserved. That's a huge positive step for this game.
As for the other part, it's late and admittedly I'm not totally sure what you're getting at... But if I do understand correctly I've always felt that locking someone only to EQ that's actively on your suit is too restrctive in their current state.
That said, as a general rule I wouldn't argue against limiting EQ functionality on non logi suits to reduce spam so that's something to consider/debate.
