Double Rep range is not a decent bonus. For one, with the changes to health bar visibility in the 1.4 update you can barely tell when someone needs reps even if they are standing right in front of you. So extending the range is no good IMO.

As for changing Logistics bonuses, I thought that was in the works already. Although, I am pretty happy with Minmater Logi bonuses as they stand right now.

And I honestly can't believe we are talking about Logistics being OP again. This is pipe dream fantasy world urban legend crap now. I am a 17+ million SP Minmater Logi with maxed Electronics/Engineering and pretty much all efficiency skills maxed and I cannot fit my Proto suit to reach 800 hit points. And that is running mediocre equipment.

I must be playing a different game tho, because I tend to get killed by all weapons and classes pretty evenly.

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.

Why would that be?

If they changed the bonuses, there's a chance that as part of such a major revision, they'd re-credit SP spent in those specific areas, as we're talking about redefining a role entirely, not just nerfing a single suit.

As well, what if that hacking bonus were to be applied to Scout suits? Or maybe to the as-yet undiscussed Spec Ops specialization that could be seen to be a Medium suit back on Buckingham before they migrated us to other test servers?

Honestly, I think giving a reconnaissance focused suit a way to slip around and quickly flip objectives would be a great way to reward those who specced into that suit.

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.

Why not give the Assaults the same slots and CPU/PG as Logis; buff Assaults, don't nerf Logis.

I have a hard enough time playing my role correctly without such a nerf.

The equipment bonuses would be more fitting if there were a secondary skill tree for equipment, similar to weapons as discussed here.

And all suits would get some kind of inherent armor regen like the Minmatar medium/assault.

Quick question... Is there really a logical reason why every suit should have passive armour rep built in? As far as I can see, adding that would further homogenise the two damage types, because everything has base regen now.

And stemming from that, if a suit SHOULD have a bonus like that, why would it be a support suit rather than one of the frontline suits. I think an armour repair buff would be a great bonus for one of the Heavy suits, but it doesn't really seem to fit the Logi role quite so well.

The armour repairers you have the forethought to fit, your repair nanohives, or bring back self-repairing Logis like we had when they first let us play with Repair Tools.
