I was unable to spawn with gear for a Strategus battle. It was not the common gear bug that you get by joining too quickly, as several others had joined before me.
I selected my loadout, hit OK. When I spawned, I had nothing. I reconnected, repeated, and still had nothing.
It did not actually REMOVE the equipment from our stockpile (as we only had a couple of the items I was trying to spawn with, I noticed that) which, I think, rules out the more common gear bug.
I did not actually die, simply scavenged the battlefield, so I don't know if I could have respawned with gear.
