DUST Search - Supply depots and switch out

The other is to maintain a proportional level of health b/w dropsuits so that switching classes will put on a suit with a proportional level of armor/shield damage(however this from a logical pov doesnt make much sense as why would a depot give you used suits instead of fresh new suits).

Perhaps a 30-60s cooldown before suits can be switched?

The other thing is when i do so make a switch the armor/shield actually fills up from zero and has left me exposed to nade or bullet fire(granted this window is very small).

However limiting dropsuit switching in any form would be a bad idea since that is part of the tactical utility of the supply depot they allow for on the fly realtime class/fitting switching to tackle threats as the come.

I for one would rather limit the grenade resupply rate when standing near a depot so they cant be spammed without interacting with the depot to requip a suit to get fully gear which takes about 5s on avg.

But yea in the end, spawn in with a flux/swarm loadout and blow that thing up.(It adds a nice isk bonus too).

Alright so I'm kinda bugged at the idea that if your in a heavy suit, or any suit, you can camp at a supply depot fit full buffer on your heavy with no logistic support and when your health becomes low, take cover behind the depot and switch suits quickly then switch back giving you once again full health. As well as, and I find it funni to watch, a team sees a tank or dropship then run to supply depot, throw on some militia swarms, kill then switch back. What I'd like to see is a 1 time switch limit or something similar to try and balance it out bit, not really sure the best solution and I'm sure alot of ppl will be mad at this post lol. Ideas for it guys?

With the health 0-100 maybe a lil longer on it, personally with my tank toon it takes abit to blow these things up. And the grenade idea is very true, I too abuse the spam by supply depot lol.

Not cool many times I have had to commit suicide because someone has destroyed the supply depot and there was nobody on my team using nanohives. Need something to balance em out, equip nanohives and be that guy, I always have one equipped......its standard. I'd like to see maybe 5% decrease in their health.
