So theoretically couldn't you have a squad with 3 logis and an armor tanked heavy that continuously is hurting himself via grenades, and then constantly is getting his armor back via his supporting logi? With 3x militia repair tool you could be getting about +75 to +90 points per second (or is it two seconds?) just from healing. So theoretically it could take your squad under 30 seconds to get an orbital strike...
...just saying...I haven't tried this yet, as I can't find much logi love. But I imagine, if it did become an issue, requiring like +500 more points for every additional strike would fix this. Would this be considered an exploit? |

That should be impossible because there is a cool down timer for repair points for logi.
That was implemented because couple of builds ago this was abused to hell by people ramming their LAV's onto walls and repairing them. |

Already been done before during the Precursor build (or was it Codex?). CCP fixed the exploit already. |

Yes and no there is a limit on the amount of WP you can earn in a set amount of time with a rep tool. i know that if I completely heal a rather damaged heavy I will hit my momentary cap. |

It was an exploit.
WP's for repair tool were removed until CCP implemented a cool down to limit WP gain to a point deemed not to be worth farming. |

What worries me more is SP boosting. Without any cap, some players can think of doing it. One of the benefits of a cap is precisely that, to make SP boosting almost irrelevant. |

Ah, this makes sense then. I wondered when I was spamming repairs at my team on the front lines why it wasn't showing points. Thanks guys. |

Haha! I tried doing that in one of my empty map matches!
How does the cool down work, if you don't mind explaining? |
