Don't logistics suits get a reduction on equipment fitting costs? If not why not give them that, or if they already do, then enhance it. Then to balance, while increasing the fitting bonus (or keeping it the same depending on the needs of the game's balance,) give them a penalty to fitting shield/armor or damage mods.
Then they still get to use a light weapon and can still fit lots of equipment while having some tank and gank, but the assault suits would be more useful. They would be better able to fit damage and shield/armor modules, as they would still only pay what they are now in fitting costs for ehp and damage modules (or even make their cost to fit these modules the same.) |

Why?
Because their base CPU/PG is humongous.
Would reducing their cpu/pg help or are there problems with that? Say we made it so logis have only 15-20% more cpu/pg than assault suits, same amount of slots as they currently do, and 10-15% decrease on fitting costs of equipment; but in exchange the get a 10-15% fitting cost increase for damage and ehp mods. Maybe do the reverse for assaults, or give a reduction in cost for fitting damage and ehp mods; alternatively, maybe assault suits should get better radius? So logis are harder to detect slightly, but can't scan as far; and assaults can scan slightly farther than currently, allowing them to have a bit of a heads up when advancing on a position, but will still have more issues picking up scouts and logis on scans.
Also do logis get more points from equipment than killing? I thought I had heard that claims on the forum that they did, but I am not a logi so I don't want to claim stuff I don't have proof of/experience with. How much would the fact that a logi can get significantly more wps from equipment usage than killing enemies (assuming this is/can be made to be true) going to affect a logi suit user's inclination to fit equipment vs. damage and tanking mods? |
