To all those people out there who destroy the supply depots please don't.
They are far more valuable captured. For those of you who don't know they don't just resupply ammo when close they also repair armpour on dropsuits and tanks and if you use it and select the same suit that you are wearing it will resupply grenades.
I reliase with that last point about the grenades it may not be as much of an issue after the patch but still a useful thing.
Also some of us run multiple setups that are useful for different secnarios, e.g: I usually run around with an AR but have a Swarm launcher setup so I can go after tanks and droupships easier.
So please people capture don't destroy supply depots. |

In general the strategy should be: Kill the enemy CRU's and turrets close to their home base, as they are hard to hold, but don't kill the supply depots. Capture them if you can, camp them if you can't |

Problem is that the supply depots are often deployed in forward-nasty positions.
On the Plateaus skirmish match the attacker's supply depot is placed within a short sprint from the defenders' being able to hack it and take it for themselves. The attacking team has no equivalent access, which is fine.
But WHY would the attacking team drop their only supply depot closer to the enemy than themselves?!

It's the gunners. Most tank drivers realize that they are valuable. Though I have killed quite a few our of ignorance early on, and accidents later. |

My strategy is as a defender is to rush the enemy Spawn bunker take it. Don't worry much about the other spawns, keep them active. If the attackers take all the objectives we can have a spawn near them and a chance to avoid spawn camp. If we are doing well but the enemy team keeps taking our extra spawns and using it well to their advantage, I would destroy them, BUT leave the supply depots. They are easy to hack, not that much advantageto the other team if they have it unlike the spawn bunkers. As the attackers I just try to mainly take the spawns and the supply depot for my team then I focus on the main objectives. |

They are only valuable if you hold them, otherwise they are an asset to your enemy. There may be times when cutting off your enemy's supply out weighs destroying your 'possible' future possession of the depot. |

Supply Depots are too valuable to destroy.
Its not like a CRU which is more of a liability. |

Trus, if it turns out your team just can't hold them at all, even with the CRU next to them down, you might as well deny them to the other team as well. However leave them to infantry, there are few things that'll make an RE guy happier, than yo use those RE's on enemies trying to retake a Supply depot...repeatedly. :) |

CRU's and Supply Points Really need to be harder to kill. It should take a tean making a tactical desicion to take them out, not an idiot with a small missle turret. |

Exactly. If I see the enemy with three dudes with SLs near a supply depot I'm blowing that thing up. Even if there are no vehicles to shoot they can still do damage to the MCC.

If they are too valuable for you to destroy then you can be sure there is a clone on the other side who feels the same.
When I played, no lived, Eve a couple of years ago there was one rule everyone lived by. IF IT'S RED SHOOT IT. The only rule in Eve worth living by ;) |
