I use 4 different suits. My go to Logistics, my Rubber Assault, my Scout, and my naked BPO Raven suit for when I am in a vehicle. I am going to go Voltaire on this one: "I do not do these practices but I will defend your right to do them."
1. This has potential to heavily limit those that have many different roles. "If my team needs this, I go to it. If my team needs X, I go to it."
2. This has potential to hurt the new player. It is much, much easier to get Advanced or Basic in several roles than get one to Prototype. These new players may very well bounce between them. However, let's be honest; the new players in this game that stay longer than a month are DUST's version of Big Foot.
3. This is the worst way to make money off of us. Sell us more SP while giving us over 900k a week anyway? Sounds fine. Respecs mean those that carefully plan and save are not punished. Aurum gear is no different than normal gear stat wise. Want a cool skin, go ahead and buy it. But "let's hinder the player until they spend money" is one of the shittiest things about Free to Play games.
4. It limits pure freedom of fits and in a way that doesn't make sense. Bandwidth makes sense because Logistics are so passive. 4 Uplinks and 4 Repair Hives and coming in as a Sentinel is the kind of thing that shouldn't happen. However, this 'infringement of that freedom' seems like it has less of a reason to be there. "We may get better performances" is not a great reason.
Edit: One of the arguments for "Do you even use 10 different suits in a match? So why does it matter?" has me questioning if there would be even any benefit. If no one is going to be hit by the cap, the cap is meaningless. If people are going to be hit by the cap, is the change in performance going to be noticeable? If the cap is so that it hits enough people for a performance increase, isn't it too restrictive?
I disagree with this proposal in the same way that I disagree punishing someone "who might have done a crime"; the risk feels too steep to just roll the dice.
"This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"
