There's alot of talk of nerfing logistics, but all that will do is make our precious healz and ammo dwindle.
The best idea I've heard is make logies sidearm only which I don't really like because it adds more restrictions to the game which shouldn't be done (and it also wouldn't make much of a difference because sidearms are crazy powerful), if anything the suits should become more flexible and capable. So instead of only giving logies a sidearm, how about giving them an option between having only a light weapon or having a sidearm and some kind of support weapon. This is of course provided that sidearms and light weapons have a bigger gap between them because I've been running logi with an smg since the open beta started and it's just as good as good as any primary weapon, better in my opinion.
So what should this new weapon type be? Iunno, anything that can support the suit's longevity, buff the theoretically nerfed sidearm, hinder other suits, etc. Defensive drones might be be an option, maybe an emp pulse to fry someone's shields or make their guns overheat or jam, something that increases your rate of fire, maybe an air cannon that blows back troops and flips cars, something like an electromagnet that deflects some bullets (obviously it should be something different because this wouldn't be able to deflect lazorz or plasma which half of the the weapons use)
You get the idea, doesn't have to even be a "gun", probably closer to an active module, could just tap the weapon switching button to activate it. The basic trend here is that none of these are really lethal on their own but there should definitely be some unconventional warfare introduced, any more ideas? |

The idea is basically a support weapon or tool, used in conjunction with a sidearm if we're going with the "logies should only be able to use sidearms" route to make up for the restrictions that would be put on it if it couldn't use light weapons. People are complaining that the logi suit isn't a defensive support suit as it's supposed to be and it still has heavy offensive capabilities that basically make it more useful than any other suit.
I'd like to see the logi become more about defense and team support and less offense but I don't want them to be useless when it comes to getting kills which is what some people seem to want just so the assault suit has a purpose. |

Ya got it all wrong, the only reason I put this up is because there's so many people saying logies are OP and need a nerf and all I've heard is "sidearm only" and "less mod slots" and it's all crap. I understand that removing threats, aka getting kills, is just another part of supporting your team, the problem is that people seem to think that the suit has access to the same offensive capabilities as everyone else and it shouldn't because we can do so much else for the team and there's no point to use those other suits.
As you should know, in this game if enough people whine about something they will get what they want, I'm trying to prevent that effect from screwing over the logi by offering alternatives, the idea wasn't to have logies only use a non lethal support gun it was to have this tool alongside your gun so that you could still defense yourself. Im all for making the logi a more defensive suit but these people apparently think that that involves making the suit not able to defend itself at all and just rely on teammates to do the work. |

Look, there are alot of people complaining about the logi and we all know why, how would you address their concerns without screwing over the suit past the point where it can be used comfortably? I'd rather just see the other suits branch off into their niche; all of the suits have equal capacity to kill, that's all they can do, the only one that's really unique is the logi, and I guess the heavy but there's only 1 good heavy weapon.
I would really like to ask the question "how do we set other suits apart from each other besides reconfiguring base stats" instead of "how do we nerf the logi" but really how much has anyone proposed on the subject? There isn't even any good ideas for the latter question. |

Aaaaaaaand SOLD! to the guy with the link.
Quit whining about suits and read that post, eventually I'm hoping for a total re-balance because the guns right now are so powerful and combined with aim assist there's not really a point to using anything that isn't damage or defense tanked, really limits the capabilities and usefulness of any other module. |
