I do not run scanners on any of my logistic suits. Hives, repair, and either a nanite or spawn.

Yeah I remember that thread, very good indeed, I absolutely agree.

I personally think that most of the grief coming towards the Logi suit and especially the Caldari logi suit is more a matter of a shift in talent. Before launch, more or less all the slayers used assault suits, they had proto suits with 2 equipment slots. After they removed the second equipment slot many of the ground pounder killers with some skill, like myself, switched from running assault to running a logi suit.

This led to a shift in talent between the classes and you now had to face a logi suit with a player behind it that focuses on killing first and supporting as a second.

It reminds me a lot about the whole Creodron breach assault nerf that happened during closed beta. Was it the gun? I don't think so. It was more a result of player skill, since more or less all the guys with good gungame used it, there was nothing OP about the gun itself...

o/ Patrick57 is a real Logi, with reps, injector, hives, everything!

The infamous "assault-logis", players using proto logi suits mainly because of superior tank possibilities are all over, they hardly use any equipment more than a couple of compact nanohives for themselves...

So I'm currently running a Logi-assault, which in practice means that I carry a fancy pants scanner instead of the usual nanohive, on an assault suit and with a smg. This is possible mainly because I use single shot weapons like the Scrambler rifle or the TAC ar, both of which normally have enough ammo to last me through a game, if I don't then there normally is a chance or two to sneak some ammo from a hive somewhere.

Am I the only one who does this? I think not. Do you have other fittings with assault suits and an equipment other than a hive? Does anyone use a repair tool?

Well, this is not about bashing the dudes using a logi suit for assault purposes, I have no beef with that and as a player which have both the proto variant of the CAL med suits I find that the assault suit is way more effective at doing the slayer job than the logi suit is.

What I wondreed about is if there are more dudes out there that uses an assault suit and don't fit a nanohive on it. What equpment do you fit on it and what gun? How do you manage playing without a naohive?

You mean your a medic, there is no 'real' logi, so long as a logi has equipment they are being a logi.

I carry scanner, injector and k2 hives but I have a medic fit. I'm an amarr logi which is the combat logi also stated in the suits description. I run marginally quicker than a heavy if I want to survive long and am far too slow for offensive play unless its cqc. Its great for defensive play though.
