why are nanohives so much more expensive compared to other equipment when they give out far less of an advantage and less wp rewards |

thank you for stating the obvious some people don't see it I guess
the point is that I'm comparing it to other equipment the one that would most closely resemble it is the drop uplinks the basic nano hive and the basic drop uplink cost the same but you get way more wp out of an uplink then you do the nanohive
then there's the other equipment that you don't have to restock on which costs far less for the most part especially since you can just have one and use it the whole match if you don't die and these can give you far more then the nanohive
it would be far more useful if it had increased or unlimited nanites since it could still be destroyed by a simple flux nade it would not be OP since you still have bandwidth to worry about and ammunition doesn't give you that great of an advantage especially if the other team can do the same
and the armor rep hives cost about 6.5-29k to use so if you're laying them down they arent doing much for the amount of isk you are spending on them
this is why now a days with the bandwidth in place almost no one carries nanohives unless its for themselves or their squad theres just no use for them for the most part compared to other equipment
I know that in the past nanohives would be spammed so people could spam nades and and explosives but that still doesnt account for the price of nanohives as they currently are imho
in addition if they are going to cost as much as drop uplinks then why can I not expect the same wp payouts? |

Ps. Everyone should carry Nanohives/Scanner for themselfs. And why we don't see many hives around? Cuz there's no point in doing so. Cuz reta.rded blues will use all nanites for their militia locus grenades.
you're proving my point they are not worth their current value, I just want to either be able to buy them cheaper or for them to have a point, its kinda the reason why everyone thinks cal logi sucks these days since the boost they get is for hives |

all in all I don't mind how hives work or their price even I'm just wondering why they seem to be ignored the only change that I have seem from my time in dust the only change I've noticed is the bandwidth introduction |

triage hives don't last as long as you might think and a rep tool that costs the same amount will give you far more points for way less effort the compact hive heals but even less so really the numbers don't seem to add up, as far as the tool that reps you the proto rep modules give 7.5 hp each plus the extra boost from the skill so repping yourself isn't that hard seeing as how the triage hives dont heal for that much armor anyway the rep tools are far better at that then the hives |

not as far as I know but I think that should have been looked at the hives use to be spammed and I think the price reflected the use, but now with bandwidth it doesn't correlate very well imo.
Im looking at the cal logi and how useful it really is compared to other suits out of pure curiosity I can afford all of the equipment that I use and or need I have enough isk to fund any crazy play style that I can conjure up but it just seems that the callogi is underwhelming now that bandwidth is in place
In my opinion the cal logi was hit the hardest directly, I'm not a specialist or anything it just seems that way to me from my experience and from what I've heard from other players |

Carrying proto equipment is like carrying around 3 or more Advance Tier weapons, but with less killy bits.
But I am a billionaire, so it don't affect me at all.
Feel sorry for the poor logis though.
I think the prices are fine as they are and that bandwidth is a good thing as well
I'm asking this out of pure curiosity and to maybe get others to start thinking about how things in dust are priced

At least i've got my speed and strafe lol.
gal logis perma scans+current meta min logis speed+reps+versatility ammar logis more spawns+side arm cal logis more ammo? it just seems too underwhelming plus you get far less points out of it them the other options but maybe I'm missing something I guess the cal logi is the best for snipers that miss most of their shots? |
