Let me put this another way.

In EVE, logistics ships carry no weapons. Maybe a some light combat drones to ***** on killmails, but nothing that would make a difference in the overall DPS of the fleet. They are stocked full of repair tools, their sole purpose is to keep their fleetmates alive, to the point where corps/alliances that reimburse ship losses may refuse to reimburse a logi pilot if he had a gun fitted.

Without a sufficient number of them, fleets don't leave.

Battles have been won because the logistics of one side were able to keep their reps focused and coordinated enough to hold their friends against enemy damage, or lost because there wasn't enough and the enemy chewed through a "slayer" heavy fleet like paper.

Doesn't it make sense that Dust would follow a similar principle? It's about far more than just shooting the other guy in the face, and I'd take one skilled logibro over a whole squad of average slayers in any match.

So why can't logis be nerfed to a sidearm so they can't be super assaults? I'd accept a buff to their equipment to trade off.

I don't understand how logis in this game can kill more effectively than assaults themselves. Sidearms are powerful enough as they are anyways (SMG and SP are godly in good hands).

Sorry I keep my Gun loaded and locked. I'm usually winning the game on the front lines and easymode logis are to busy at the back farming WP Well everyone knows the only thing that takes even the slightest bit of skill in this game is PC, and if it's PC, you guys should just tell logis to **** off if they aren't important. If by PC you mean Plasma Cannon, I fully agree.

You understand that skill>fittings, right? I feel that most assaults take their sidearms for granted or underestimate them, because as an Amarr Logi, I know what itit is like to have a sidearm and to not have one. They GREATLY increase you're ability to kill.
