More like a "Seriously noob you just figured that out" tip.
Supply Drops are the key!! As you may have noticed, Supply depots replenish your ammo, equipment and grenades, however you may not have known that it also Repairs armor and Shields for free, just got my 2nd REAL flawless(25kills+) using this tactic.
Tutorial:
1.) Stay close to the Supply Depot
2.) Take cover behind the supply depot
3.) Empty your clip into any incoming enemies
4.) Reap the kills
5.) Once armor gets depleted, change fits
6.) Repeat from step one indefinitely
Or Just use Heavy or Tanks, it's whatever you know, your choice  |

this is why there needs to be a reward for winning. Best tactic is to not help yor team, there is no bad side to losing, or reward for killing so who cares, just get lots of kills,max out that isk income. |

OP also stated the exact reason why Supply Depots have to be nerfed in the aspect of changing fittings. For example, if an enemy is within a certain radius of the SD, no one on your team can swap fits and regain armor and shields. Might be a good idea as well to set a cooldown that lets you change your dropsuit only once in, say, two minutes. |

Ya I've said this for awhile HOWEVER,
Some may not have noticed but they did a hot fix on the supply depot.
1 health regenerates slower after the change
2 if you switch into the same suit type health is not replenished. IE if I'm using assault II with LR switch to Assault II with MD the health of the suit remains the same. |

Not a good piece of advice if anyone who knows that they're doing is on the other team. Supply depots and CRUs are the worst places to camp in the game; they provide easy kills for any half-competent FPS player. Camping a CRU may be cheap, but kill farming a supply depot is serving justice.

Completely agree. Really there's no point in doing anything in the matches, nothing is cost effective. Just don't die (and waste assets) when you will get roughly the same reward win or lose. |

A kitten shotgun doesn't sound so bad.

It takes time to change fits, you can still be overwhelmed.
That said, that is definitely an exploit, but currently it's a valid tactic, so CCP needs to fix it. |

if you whisper sweet nothings and rub it in just the right spot, it'll spurt out a few extra AV grenades for you. |

Its kinda like dragon types. You'll see it coming and it'll do normal damage or take you by surprise and be super effective. |

Why not have a 5 second timer that works similarly to hacking, you change your fitting then your stuck in that spot 5 seconds later while your transition to the new fitting. |

Umm. Don't they have nanohives that do the same thing (ammo and health regin)?
So I'm guessing I would be OP if I stood on that chucking my fused locus nades huh? |

The flaw in the tactic is that they can be caught with their pants down while changing fittings. I've taken out people in the supply menu. Easier than taking out a sniper in his scope. Just because they're in the supply menu doesn't mean they can't be killed. |

But what about the situation where you are in the clear, and, even though damaged, have to fit other equipment? For example, I often swap between nanohives and uplinks fitting, no matter what my HP is.
However, if, while damages, supply depot would allow you to change into the same dropsuit you are wearing right now, and nothing else, this easily couldn't be exploitable.
A 10-seconds timer also seems like a viable option.
I also propose a solution to incessant grenade chucking and the such - players can restore one or two "cycles" (the amount of ammo given by a SD at a time, e.g. 45 for Assault Rifle) in, let's say, 20 seconds. |

When I am solo roaming in a scout fit I check red supply depots for easy prey standing around. |
