Not willing to let go of your AR logis, huh?

Alright, how would you guys go about stopping the Logi suit from stepping on the Assault suit's toes?

I don't get where the ideas that Logi should use sidearms only or get reduced damage come from. They are still trained soldiers and as such carry the weapons of a soldier. Yes they have a role but it doesn't necessarily mean hiding behind the other troops being everyones *****. Support can mean alot of things. I'm drawing comparisons from other games I've played here and 1 aspect of real life that doesn't interfere with this being a sci fi video game. Combat-Medics, Logistics troops whatever name you want to put on them are still 1st and foremost trained as a soldier they then train for the role after, they go on patrol / fight alongside troops with different roles.

only iff you increase the range of sidearms on logi suits to compensate. must match AR range just to be fair :)

y not just make the fully fitted logi suit weaker than the fully fitted assault suit of the same tier?

for all tiers levels.

or the ability to deploy small turrets from their equipment slots...

You're all deluded. Get a proto suit of both the logi and assault, from the same race, then you'll see that nothing is that out of balance.

The only thing that needs fixing is the class bonuses, and some of the racial bonuses like the CAL logi, + 2% effectiveness to shield regulators????

I'd suggst fitting bonus for all logi suits for equipment, and fitting bonuses for assaults for light weapons and sidearms. End.

Of course, they'd need to get something else in exchange, such as an additional grenade slot, or the ability to deploy small turrets from their equipment slots...

But still, it would be nice to see much more differentiation between Logi and Assault suits...

Combat-Medics, Logistics troops whatever name you want to put on them are still 1st and foremost trained as a soldier they then train for the role after, they go on patrol / fight alongside troops with different roles (Assault, AV etc) even on the frontline providing said support when it is needed not hanging around drinking tea untill it is time to lay an uplink, provide repairs, use a needle or what have you because their ability to fight is reduced. They need to be just as combat effective as other troops. If a logi is using any of the available equipment as well as killing enemys they are still doing their job and supporting the squad, team.

Of course that is not set in stone as this game is still billed as sandbox and it's up to the player how they want to fit or run their suit aswell. Basically there is no right or wrong way because it is choice and opinion.

Personally I carry a nano hive, repair tool and active scanner on my adv Logi, still being able to provide effective firepower and replenish ammo, armour and give intel when the squad needs it.

I also play adv Assault just as much as my Logi if not more so don't dismiss this as bias please.

If you think the Assault class or any other is lack luster try coming up with ways to more define their role instead.

What you say about combat medics is true and often my best friends BUT I can assure you I have never met a medic that can be as combat effective as me or my squad (served active duty as an infantryman).... So in reality yes you do fight but you are not as effective as a dedicated infantryman (who also trains to do YOUR job but cannot do it as effective as you). So in New Eden "combat medics" should not be as combat effective or more OP then a dedicated assault class.
