Hey everyone, I am new on the forum, but I wanted to add this request. If there is already a thread about it, just lead me in the right direction.
What does everyone think of the idea that you have to purchase your ammo? For instance, you could go to supply depot in game and use your ISK to buy ammo, or buy it before the match starts. I personally don't think every gun should just come preloaded with ammo unless you've already purchased it or it is the default weapons you start with.
Also, what about the idea of being able to sell back items that you get at the end of battle? Like if you're a sniper and you find a shotgun and ammo for it, you could go to the marketplace and sell them for ISK. I also think so kind of open marketplace for stuff like this would be great. |

I've seen this requested before and I believe it was solidly rejected. Doesn't mean it's a bad idea or won't be implemented just that it is unpopular. |

I like it. The interface in battle needs to be lightning quick or even automatic. If you have Ammo cached, it should only require being near a supply depot.
Also, how would nanohives work. Take ammo from the person who deployed it? |

Buying ammo at supply depot seems odd to me, its a team asset, not a vending machine. That's like charging someone to spawn on a CRU.
Having to buy ammo would be so damn tedious, just imagine that each gun is sold bundled to the ammo. |

I hear what you are saying about it being tedious but what about all of the great depth that could be generated by adding ammo types.
This idea has been pushed again and again for vehicles but it would be great to see it for infantry also. I think it would be something like you buy a bpc of ammo (1 per gun) and that bpc is automatically replenished at supply depots and nanohives. Buying individual rounds would be overly complicated and would really slow down battles.
Just to recap:
1 ammo type fitted to a load out
Cannot be changed mid battle without also changing the dropsuit loadout |

I like the idea of different ammo types, but that's not what the OP suggested. The default ammunition should be free or bundled with the purchase of the weapon. |

For me ammo will be great and CCP make it soon(tm).
Now my taughts:
For that I can see now it is little dificult for them to implement dinamic dmg (from different types of ammo) at match, because ...
all your dropsuits/vehicles it be seams to 'prerendered' before match (dmg/armor/shield/speed etc.).
This give better measure for balance things.. but at other edge it removes more dynamic enviroment, changing skils make new fits etc. |

several ammo type's wuild be good and for instance presing R2 to change the type in battle wuild be usefull if you for instance get emp ammo (les armoure damage more shield damage) and can switch it when fighting a type2 and lets say you get 2 ammo slot's on each suit's so you can have 2 type's you can add several type's of ammo tracer rounds wich dont do damage or show up as a hit so you can tag a enemy whitout having to wory he shoot's you before your alies get to you
then again this wuild remove the meaning of racial weapons damage type's i think |
