If we're going to change logistic bonuses, they need to be based on equipment from a general sense and not tied specifically to certain modules. That's completely shortsighted when you think of other gadgets we might be getting. Also, if you take away my hacking bonus, I'm officially done with Dust.

When I first logged in for Uprising 1.0 I carefully planned out my build. Calculated how much SP everything would cost, what kind of fit I wanted to run and what weapon I wanted to use. One of the hardest choices was what logi suit I wanted to use- Gallente or Minmatar. I spent a good 2 hours, weighing the options on if I wanted a fully equipment oriented armor tanking brick or a mobile scout/logi hybrid suit that could hack things like a boss. I specced into Minmatar logi because of that hacking bonus and made a build specifically for it along with my other equipment fittings. I'm sick and tired of CCP flipping everything around because of a bunch of ill informed morons listening to other ill informed morons to the point that people don't even know what they want anymore and the devs just bend over backwards to appease the current kneejerk reaction. All this drama started over one logistics suit that was extremely OP and I thought this would be resolved after it was nerfed (way too hard) but I was wrong. It's a matter of principles here. How many times is something that players invested their hard earned SP into going to be turned upside down due to a trail of tears by narrow minded, short sighted idiots? You take away my hacking bonus, I better get a SP respec so I can spec into Caldari Assault with an AR since that's apparently the only way you can safely play the game.
You guys can have your little IRC circle jerk about re-balancing the game if you want, but if we keep ******* each other over like this, nobody is going to stick around to play.

As long as logis get the same base hp as assaults then I could live with that.

Do you not quite understand the fact that assaults need more hp so that they can ASSAULT.

This is a FPS, everyone is essentially an assault. Some use smaller frames, some use medium frames, some use heavy frames, some have more equipment and module slots, some have less module slots and a sidearm... you get the point? I support my team, and I lay down covering fire when I need to. When New Eden has a geneva convention, I'll put my gun down and be you're personal pack *****.

The support class in Battlefield can use LMGs because nobody would play it if they didn't.

All I'm saying is don't make the bonuses gear specific because some logis don't use certain pieces of equipment and it's only going to get worse when new stuff comes out. That bubble shield looks really appealing- oh wait, I only have bonuses for a repair tool...

As much as I learned to appreciate that +5 HP/s regen, if it gets everyone to shut up about logistics, I'll give it up. This is assuming that whatever the hell is wrong with 1.4 gets fixed. Longer TTK, strafing, and toned down AA.

Have not read anything past the OP.

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.

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).
