No i won't pick you up. I don't carry an injector. My scanner is far more useful for keeping both of us alive.
No i won't follow you around and repair you. Unless i'm rolling with your tank, i don't carry a repair tool.
No i won't drop an uplink, you can spawn at the CRU or objective i just hacked and covered with remote explosives.
No i don't have 1000+ HP because i am usually fit with codebreakers/biotics/armour rep.
Yes i carry a light weapon. Mostly basic or sometimes advanced. Prototype is too pg/cpu intensive with the equipment i run and gets way too expensive when you get shot in the back while hacking 2 or 3 times a match.
A sidearm is not acceptable for engaging at any decent range and i wont ever use one as a primary weapon in this role.
While you are all busy trying to keep your K/D all shiny, i'm in behind enemy lines hacking their objectives.
My nanohives are so i can replenish my remotes, not so you can spam Core Locus grenades. I try to put them in useful places, but i'm not going to drop one for some blueberry just for the heck of it. I can only carry two and i need them both.
My play style is exactly what the Minmatar Logistic suit is designed for. You can't do the same with a scout (too squishy) or assault (only one equipment slot) or heavy (too slow).
I am a "True Logi", not your support lap dog, not your medic.
Deal with it.
That's a really dumb excuse for not using uplinks. Uplinks can spawn you anywhere quickly and one logi can drop 3 without changing suits. You really think covering your own CRU with remote explosives is more useful to you or your teammates? How many times do you think people spawn at the CRU when there are uplinks closer to the objective? I don't even look at the CRU or care if anyone spawns there or if it's even controlled by my team if there are more uplinks in closer places.
Then adding on the bit about using hives to replenish your remote explosives? Giving assault players ammo is so much more useful for everyone including yourself. You can kill two birds with one stone and just use triage hives and place them in strategic places.
It really just seems like you think you've achieved some new level of awareness about how this game is supposed to be played but you're not really making much sense. Your priority seems to be hacking objectives and defending CRUs, all of which can be done better by a scout or assault. The only thing you have going for you is the hack bonus and I'd argue that doesn't compensate for the logi's lack of ability to push into an objective. Better off supporting those who make the push and then using your bonus after they clean house. Or flank with a scout. Or steamroll with a heavy. All seem to be better than a "true logi" when it comes to attacking objectives.
