But why not add an equipment state like PG/CPU and call it EQ and give a suit a certain amount of EQ to allow it to fit equipment. Then you reduce the Logi suit's PG/CPU.
Read the last two pages, very good ideas circulating.
Is the current idea most people have agreed upon the boost to repair tool range? Because I feel that is bit pointless.
What I'd rather see is have TTK go back to Chromosome levels through weapon rebalancing and then giving Assault suits a built in damage mod. That will help with their assaulting role.
If you want logis to focus on equipment and not tank I still believe that adding a new fitting requirement would be the easiest way to do that. You'd reduce logis PG/CPU which would give them limited choices in the slots and would not allow them to tank as easily. They would need to pick and choose and nobody would choose the logi suit as the suit to stack HP on anymore due to the limited PG/CPU.
However by adding an EQ fitting requirement to suits you could give each suit a certain amount of EQ. Let's say for an example a suit has 300 CPU and 250 PG but only has 50 EQ. The logi suit on the other hand would only have maybe 100 CPU and 75 PG with 125 EQ. (These are just random numbers).
Adding another bar is pointless, wasteful and a worse idea than what you seem to think has been going on. It's a slightly LESS bad idea than thinking an on-topic post which got no replies was worth making another thread about, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
The actual idea people were kicking around is a reduction of PG/CPU on Logi suits, but paired with a fitting bonus for equipment, so everything in your equipment slots will cost less of your now-limited PG/CPU to equip. That way, a Logi has those extra high, low and equipment slots, but doesn't have extra PG and CPU to make a massive tank of any kind (armour, shield, dual, stealth, speed) unless they skimp on their equipment slots to do it. Even then, it won't make them any better than one of the dedicated-role suits fitting for the same task. What they CAN do is bring more equipment (A LOT more) with minimal penalty to their ability to fit for other areas.
The talk about a repair tool range buff was a possible racial bonus, NOT the overall Logi bonus. And in that capacity, it's a really good idea, but it might need some testing to determine an appropriate value for this bonus and any others that might come up on the other Logi suits.
