First spawn of the game, or when more uplinks are needed:
Logistics M/1
1x 'Dren' Assault Rifle
1x Core Locus Grenade
3x Basic Shield Extender
2x Basic Armor Plate
1x Enhanced Cardiac Regulator
1x Allotek Nanohive
1x A-45 Quantum Active Scanner
1x N-11/A Flux Drop Uplink
Cost: 65,445 ISK
Otherwise:
Logistics M/1
1x 'Dren' Assault Rifle
1x Core Locus Grenade
3x Basic Shield Extender
3x Basic Armor Plate
1x Allotek Nanohive
1x A-45 Quantum Active Scanner
1x Wiyrkomi Triage Nanohive
Cost: 88,800 ISK
The first fit is quite quick for a logi fit, allowing me to outrun most non-scout drop uplink mules. Flux uplinks are the best at ADV level- 32.5% spawn time reduction may get someone back to the front lines fast enough to save your life.
I prefer triage nanohives to repair tools, for the simple reason that using a repair tool takes my gun out of the fight, lowering my team's overall damage. Triage nanohives can heal both me and my team, while still allowing me to shoot.
Additionally, they help quite a bit in terms of controlling the flow of blueberries- you can do a surprising amount to affect a random pub team's tactics with good nanohive and drop uplink placement.
In a concentrated single-area point defense situation, two Wiyrkomi triage hives + two Allotek hives = 220hp/s armor repair in a 7m radius. This is enough to tank a non-HS sniper indefinitely, and plenty to guarantee victory in AR brawls.
The A-45 active scanner is the best piece of equipment in the game, hands down. Especially with the shortened TTK of 1.6, being able to see the entire enemy formation through walls is simply too good. It turns people with mediocre gun game into excellent slayers. Combined with core locus grenades, you can take down entire squads around walls with a few well-placed, well-cooked throws. The scan assists when working with a good squad are just icing on the deliciously overpowered cake.
The AR is the best all-around weapon for a logi, as everyone knows- it's a CQC beast, and is still decently effective at 80+ meters, with high damage per clip and great accuracy.
Core locus grenades are obviously overpowered, and while I feel a little bad about using them, this is New Eden, and there's no honor on the battlefield.
