DUST Search - nano hives

Am i the only one who hates them this build?

they used to be a way for a logi to keep his whole squad supplied with ammo so they didnt have to go back to a supply depo, but now they way they run out so fast i find myself being alot more stingy with them.

im not proposing that we have nano hives that sit there forever and allow constant grenade spammers, im just saying, i dont feel like i can actually keep my people supplied.

ive had a few ideas in the past about how to change them, and most of them people haven't really had opinions on so i want to bring it up again.

one of my major ideas was to have the nano hive operate on a cooldown instead of a limited supply of them, they could work just they way they do now, except you can only throw down one at a time, and AFTER it ran out you would have like a 30 sec period you would have to wait to throw down another one. they would also have a duration that way they could only sit for so long.

ways this could work could be like, you hold the hive, and fire as cluster of nanites that swarm around an area for a small amount of time, instead of throwing the whole machine.

you could have variants that would sacrifice how much it could supply for a faster cooldown, and vice versa, or maybe one that can supply a very large amount, but would have a short duration, one with bigger area etc.

and i would just straight up remove the rep hives, because i think the rep tool should do that job

Also i would assume that you aware that there are nanohives on the market that actually specify in Light Weight so you can carry more and have more active at a time and those that have a larger capacity for Ammo Regen. I can't say i really like the idea of having nanohives on cooldown since i'm a Logistics and am prone to semi-quick death if i'm shot at. And may not have the time to use the rest of my hives to support my team. It would also make it more difficult for Nanohives to earn WP that way. In my opinion of course. The idea that you "hold the hive and fire a cluster of Nanites" is interesting but i would like to see that as a variation of the Repair Tool rather than the Nanohive since it sounds kinda like how that opperates. The repair hives are fine imo since for one they make it so you can repair your teams armor from halfway across the map hypotheticly. Plus if your team sees the little (+) on the nanohive and are in need of repair they're more likely to use it rather than look at it and not weigh wether or not they really NEED ammo.
