And just scrap the logistics class completely !? ... lets face it the injector is borked, the repair tool lock is borked, drop uplinks are rarely spawned on, hives are about the only thing that works.

Assaults should be running injectors to save your clones and have the ability to 'ask' for ammo from a logistics in the same way you ask for a revive.

So no, if you want more ammo for your AR carry a hive if you're solo or squad with a logi.

I use TAR and drop uplink. TAR goes through ammo slower than the full auto ARs and the drop uplink is vastly more useful.

TAR lasts far too long without a nanohive.
I really don't want AR's to get this much longevity.

I don't think the amount of ammo you can carry should be changed but the nanohives definitely need a bit of a buff. It only takes one person to run over it and pick up some ammo and a grenade and the hive is gone. With fewer supply depots on the maps, nerfing the nanohives as well was a bad idea.

I have the same luxury because I run with the SCR. It doesn't need a nanohive nearly as much as its assault variation, so I am honestly thinking of skilling into an active scanner. Since you have range AND power, wouldn't it make sense to give not only yourself but also your team the advantage of knowing where the enemy is? Just some food for thought.

Exactly, drop uplinks are invaluable in competitive matches. A few friendly logis running proto nanohives are more than enough to keep your team well supplied while you concentrate on tactical concerns (like scanner).

Increase it so that the guys running around won't need to think about combat logistics?

No.

Those are probably militia nanohives which were nerfed so people actually had an incentive to spec into them. I have standard nanohives on my AV fit and I can completely refill the ammo on my swarm launcher.

Sigh...
"Not too much, otherwise there won't be a need for nanohives, but enough to make assault players have a reason to try something else."

Do you people comment before you read the whole post or what?

I'm saying the current numbers are good and increasing them even a little is not good.

Do you peo.... oh, wait.

I skilled to nanohives as a sniper. I use standard and compact version and its realy rare when any bullet left in my gun in the end of the game. Nanohives were nerfed to the ground and even if you put some SP on nanos, you easily run out of ammo. And not because im a bad shooter (my record with charge rifle 44 kill in one game).

I mean, come on, everyone I see is using a nanohive.
Why?
Because weapons have very low ammo when you compare how many bullets it takes to take down a target.

Assuming PERFECT PRECISION you can take out an assault player in 10 shots.

But usually human error puts it at 15-25 bullets.
Now sometimes you shoot to provide cover, sometimes you shoot to scare your enemy away, so you can at best get 10-15 kills before needing a nanohive.
Or if you do the above (provide cover, scare your enemy away) it can go down to 5.

This means that any assault player will run a nanohive, almost no exception.
Do we really want this?

I think the base ammo pool should be increased.
Not too much, otherwise there won't be a need for nanohives, but enough to make assault players have a reason to try something else.

I'm guessing it's because as a sniper you will need to refill a higher amount of ammo than I would for my swarm launcher, but if you say the nanohives were nerfed I believe you since you obviously have more experience with nanohives in uprising than I do.

Who is this guy? and why are we getting so many pointless threads today?.

Its called level up your Light Weapon Capacity if your not happy bro!

not across the board, maybe as a bonus to all assault suits. So assault suits get a shield regen bonus and a max ammo capacity bonus.

Sigh...
