Sorry to say, but you have no idea what you're talking about. First off, Logi =/= nothing but walking remote repper and nanite injector. Logistics is a role that is hell of a lot more varied than that, that is the reason the "pure" logis get 4 equipment slots and even the "combat" logis get 3. There are other equipment that a logi can use and other things a logi can do to support the team, and I know I've done my job as a logi even after games where I didn't have a nanite injector or a rep tool equipped.
Take the minmatar logi suit, it's inbuilt bonuses (when compared to other logi suits) are hacking speed and speed. That is why I chose the suit, and still continue to use it and love it, even though CCP has made speed tanking more and more irrelevant recently (all the poor scouts, I feel your pain). Sure I can run with a squad providing ammo and reps when needed, but that is most certainly not the only thing I do, and if it was the only thing I was able to do, I would have quit this game ages ago. For instance, I can be a 100% support logi and still get uplinks behind enemy lines and in flanking positions while the "slayers" of my team are engaging the enemy head on, I can provide my team intel on enemy positions, I can sneak in and get a speed hack off on an objective... The fits I run to do these things are flimsy as hell, I certainly can't spare the fitting to use damage mods, I barely have any HP as it is. So you can shove your "massive tank and high DPS" argument. My main defense is the fact that after sinking 20+ million skillpoints into my suit, all the relevant suit upgrades (things like hacking and biotics over HP there as well) and proto equipment across the board, I could then finally spare the SP to skill fairly highly into my main weapon (my only weapon, originally, as my suit has no sidearm slot, it really only makes sense to spec into a light weapon first, yes?)
You honestly think I shouldn't care about crap like this? Because if I was a true logi I wouldn't mind being almost completely defenseless against every random newberry in a frontline assault fit that just happens to be outside the (not exactly amazing) optimal range of an SMG? And not care about always losing my 200+k fits full of proto equipment there to service all the oh so important assault players, if those assault players fail to protect me as I hide behind my squad with my rep tool out, as you seem to think is the only thing a logi should do?
Logi suits have had a light weapon slot for all this time, I don't remember assault players crying about logi suits being OP in Chromosome, so maybe, just maybe, the weapon slot is not the problem here, people?
P.S. I know there are plenty of logis out there who totally rock an SMG, that's not the point, the point is players should have the ability to choose their weapon based on the range of engangement they think they will most likely find themselves in, that is the point of having a variety of weapons to choose from. If you are always up close and personal, yes, frankly, the SMG is beastly, but that shouldn't be the only playstyle available to a whole class of players.
Have you considered installing the improved keyboard?
