- They have to increase the wp gain from advanced and proto revive needles, or decrease the warpoint gains from militia and standard needles. As it is now, I get more wp using a standard needled and rep the revived team mate than using a proto needle with no additional repping needed.
- I always found it odd that I could resupply my equipment at a supply depot, that takes away some of the strategic droplink and hive placement. You can spam away with your equipment, go back and resupply it and return to spam more equipment. I sometimes change to a proto logi with 4xproto and advanced hives that I drop all over the place and go back to change into a cheaper logi suit.
- The supply depot gives the logi player an option to drop proto equipment with very little risc as you can change back into cheap fittings after dropping the equipment.
You claim 'dedicated' logi, yet:
1. Better needle = better survivability = getting back into action faster = better chance of team winning. While it's agreed that better needle should give you slightly more WP, if you're too focused on WP gain, you're not a 'dedicated' logi, just another WPwhore. I'd rather stick a 80% needle to my teammate, than use a basic/militia one and waste yet more time repping him to full health, meaning I have to carry both a needle AND a repper, using 2 of my equipment slots.
2. Being able to resupply your equipment at a supply depots is one of a few things that make a logi be able to do its job. If this is removed, watch skirmish games turn into utter shite as players run around with no ammo, no friendly depots (since tanks kill them), and no other way to resupply apart from dying. As it is, I waste more time hopping into an LAV to get back to the redline supply depot just so that I can refill my mates' ammo.
3. So, by your logic, the logi player drops proto equipment down near the supply depot and swaps to a cheap suit? Or are you saying the logi player drops proto equipment near the front lines and runs back to supply depot thereby increasing the risk of getting popped, seen or harassed by the opposing team in transit? If the former, those are useless equipment and don't help the team, if the latter, then fairplay since the logi has a higher risk to himself while assaults just crouch behind cover and enjoy the benefits of my equipment.
