Do I need to say it again? Alright then... I can't believe I have to say it again: Logistics are the kings of versatility. We need our Light Weapons to fill that role.
We can use a Plasma Cannon to take out enemy defenses from far away. We can get a shotgun and melt faces. We can get an AR and kill everything, regardless of range, and our equipment is just the icing on the cake.
Example of how versatile we are: Mass Driver, Flaylock Pistol, Remote Explosives, Proximity Explosives. There's a demolition fitting.
Assault Rifle, Repair Tool, Nanite Injector, Nanohive. There's a Combat Medic fitting.
Shotgun, Remote Explosive, Active Scanner, Nanohive. There's a survivalist/hunter/trapper type fitting.
The list goes on and on. In EVE Online, the Logistics Dropships have ALWAYS been very combat efficient. That's a successful MMO that OUR game is based on, and it's been the same way for 10+ years. It won't change. We're supposed to hit hard and take the damage. That's why we're slower than Assaults and Faster than heavies, at the cost of guns. We're supposed to hit like a truck, and we're supposed to be built like one too. We're just strong, not invincible.
Besides, what weapon is able to do effective damage at the same range as an AR? None. An SMG can't do good damage at HALF the range of an AR. If a Logistics was caught in a firefight with just a sidearm, we'd be dead.

There is no fix, because it isn't broke. Anyone who says it is broke hasn't played with Logistics, they're only KDR [people] that are looking to be the almighty-assault. They must be playing CoD or whatever game has a useless support class, because they're obviously confused. Guys, make a Logi-Specific character. You'll see that we're already pretty balanced. Once the first gun runs out, we're dead. That's just how it is.

I'd like to point out that the suit is not called "Triage" or "Support". It's called Logistics. That doesn't really translate to Triage. If anything, it translates to mechanic, engineer, technician, etc.
In EVE, for example, a Logistics suit can run Remote Repair, Stasis Webifier, and more. They didn't really HAVE to fit only a Remote Repairer, but if they only wanted to fit Medic support gear (A hard thing to do in that game), they could.

This universe? You mean New Eden? Nope. Again, look at EVE. They aren't ONLY fitting Remote Repairers. Again, Stasis Webifiers, Warp Distruptor Bubbles, etc.
We the do the things to you don't want to . Active Scanning, Resupplying, Remote Dentonating, Repairing, Reviving, Respawning, etc. We're not just a Medic, we're the SUPPORT. Squad support, not just triage support. How will you find out about the shotgunner around the corner while you're carrying a Nanite Injector? You won't not until you're dead anyways. Who will take care of the guy at Alpha, when everyone is at Delta? The Logistics with REs, that's who. Who will spawn you closer to the Domination point, so you don't have to run every time. A Logi-Sniper.
Not just a Medic.
EDIT: Also, made a word-derp on that last post. Meant "Triage or MEDIC", not Triage or Support. My bad on that one.
