Since operatives have started to go in raids with provided gear and just instantly left the match in order to get a new kit, i think it should be changed.
-
Operatives should be able to request a new kit from the agency in exchange for credits.
(a raising of the needed credits or a raising timer until delivery to the bunker for repeated use could be implemented) -
If operatives leave the raid with an provided gear at their own or due to friendly fire, they should be blocked for a certain amount of time (raising timers for repeating optional), since they wasted resources from the agency therefore aren't priority anymore)
-
Successfull raids when using provided gear should provide the operative with the option to renew the kit for free, since the operative did return ressources to the agency.
(since the agency still has a higher loss of ressources compared to the returned gear by the operative, a conversion of for example every 2 successfull raids 1 free renew, could be added)
I like the idea of having provided gear, but i think there could and should be a mechanic to punish players abusing it, because it raises server costs to host a match just to have in the worst case multiple players leave ot instantly and it would fit the lore in my opinion
