Killface Hunt To The Death 0	Posted - 2013.11.27 01:27:00 - [1] - Quote I run a Minmatar Logistics, most of the time the advanced suit, v occasionally the prototype. I am a "True Logi" using my suit as intended. 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.

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.
Argent Mordred DUST University Ivy League 26	Posted - 2013.11.27 01:57:00 - [9] - Quote So what equipment do you carry? Nanohives, Scanner, what else? Just curious.
Killface Hunt To The Death 3	Posted - 2013.11.27 02:01:00 - [10] - Quote Scanner, nanohives and remotes mostly. Occasionally i run an uplink but usually only right at the beginning of the match. And Toby, i don't drop remotes at CRU's. Perhaps the wording i used wasn't clear enough there. If i drop a hive then all are free to use it. If my squad ask me to drop one then i will. I don't just drop them randomly for blueberries.

Look at what you get if you skill into logi from a medium frame. Now look at what you get from an assault when you skill into it from a medium frame.

That certainly is one of the many ways to run a logistics suit. I suppose I would be a "medic" just got back into my sever and have a rep tool, injector, and scanner. I'd love to get that 4th equipment to run a hive so I could be front line logistics support. That was my original job back in chromo. Please don't belittle my role because your angry at assaults, I enjoy it very much.

Please don't belittle my role because your angry at assaults, I enjoy it very much. Not trying to belittle your role at all. Just trying to point out that pigeon-holing Logis into one specific playstyle goes against the the idea of the suit being the most versatile.

Keri Starlight 0uter.Heaven Proficiency V. 1529	Posted - 2013.11.27 03:29:00 - [22] - Quote Minmatar Logi is the most fun suit to run in this game, in my honest opinion I have an alt character with the Minlogi and I run Uplinks, RE, Scanner and Hives, an AR (but I want the Assault Combat Rifle to be 100% Minmatar!), one Cardiac Regulator, one Kin Cat, Locus M1 and all the rest is Shield tank. It's something in between a Scout and a Logi and it's so fun to play! Basically, I scan the enemies, run to the objective avoiding them, drop Uplinks, hack with my sweet hacking bouns and maybe place some RE. I believe it is a "true" Logi, it's an infiltrator/saboteur, totally focused on winning the match without engaging the enemy directly. The gun is just for defense. I love this suit so much, because it's very unique. It has the base speed of an assaulter and the hacking bonus, it's one of a kind. It's not a medic, but it's definitely a Logi. The Minmatar Logi (unless omni-tanked to be an Assault) really represent my idea of how a Logistic support operator should be. The other option is the medic. Unfortunately, you can fit them to be a super-assaulter :( I would be very upset if the hacking bonus will be changed. The free armor repairer, though, is what people exploit to tank HP and I believe it should go. It makes it so easy to stack armor plates... EDIT: I think that Uplinks are the most important part... I can't think of a good Logi without them, sorry... -1.7 ranges: AR 42m -> 48m, TAR 65m -> 60m -Goodbye my love, Tac AR "I load my gun with love instead of bullets"

Heathen Bastard The Bastard Brigade 714	Posted - 2013.11.27 03:54:00 - [27] - Quote huh, didn't know playing support with a team, on a logistics suit was the wrong way to play it. I put down hives at key points, I will rez you if you'll just sit for a millisecond so I can either kill or suppress whatever killed you, and, god willing I will heal you so you don't die again before you can hit cover. That is logistics. It is not some lone wolf, it is a force multiplier. A man/woman who takes a good group of soldiers and makes them great by ensuring their ammo doesn't run dry, their charge doesn't falter for fear of death, and tending their wounds so they can fight just that much harder. You might wear the suit, but you are not a logi, you're just an assault with fancy coloration. If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

All seem to be better than a "true logi" when it comes to attacking objectives. Given that the Minmatar suits play like scout hybrids, OP kind of is playing as intended. The only thing that makes it like a scout is that it's the fastest logi. The hack bonus is nice but if you're playing domination it doesn't matter how fast you can hack a point if you can't get to it. My point is that the "true logi" definition I read by the OP really doesn't sound like a logistics role other than the remote explosives and even then that's just one of the many ways a logi can help. It seems as though he's purposefully going against the grain to make a point that he doesn't want to rep/resupply/revive/spawn his teammates when those are all arguably more important than a remote explosive on the objective or CRU. I get that he added that he'll drop something if someone asks for it, but I run proto hives and drop them where ever I see a choke point because I have 4 of them and I'm not going to act like I'm above helping blueberries if it helps my team win. Like I'm curious what someone must be thinking while they play this wayGÇª "Fck you guys I'm not going to help/save you because I'm not your btch even though I'm using the suit that is best fit to do so". When I run logi I try to do the things assault/scout/heavies/snipers can't do but still need to get done to be successful. This guy may as well run a scout with remote explosives and use the hack skill/modules. It would probably be much more effective than the Minmatar logi he's running.

Occasionally i run an uplink but usually only right at the beginning of the match. And Toby, i don't drop remotes at CRU's. Perhaps the wording i used wasn't clear enough there. If i drop a hive then all are free to use it. If my squad ask me to drop one then i will. I don't just drop them randomly for blueberries. It is you who keep putting remotes on the nanohives. I am getting tired of being blown up when destroying red nano hives "cleaning up" in my scout suit

I kinda feel sorry for you, because youre wrong, I've played eve for 2 years now and on pvp i'm logi, and logis repair... they can give tracking links, or capacitor to other vessels, but on pvp they dont, they just repair. I also use a minmatar suit, high slots have shield extenders, low have plates, to last longer, to repair more, to revive more, to hack more, yes, i hack, like a m0therfucker, you can bet, if i see a dude with 1 armor remaining and a null cannon to be hacked, i hack, if i see a dude lying on the ground spaming the button "request assistance" and a null cannon to be hacked i hack, if i hack one second sooner, we are one second closer to the victory, but when i finish i repair and revive, that spares one clone to the team, that makes a dude get up and ready to pew much faster, logistics are a power multiplier on the field, you just are a wannabepr0hak0rz. But still, all this is just my oppinion you see? CCP motto is: "You play as you wanna play", and you indeed do, so do I, our difference is that your statement is: "I'm a true logi", with that statement you kinda imply that anyone else who doesn't play like you is wrong, like puking "all known truths of the universe", and thats so arrogant and prepotent...

Personally I don't like the term "true logi" at all: "support logi" is much more descriptive and less judgemental in my mind. "Support logi" clearly distinguishes it from "assault logi", and also from "scout logi" which might be a reasonable name for his playstyle. Nothing in these terms implies one is better than another. It does, however, let us have a sensible discussion if CCP want to somehow reduce the effectiveness of "assault logi" (to encourage more "assault assault" players) about protecting the effectiveness of other logi types.

I understand what youre saying, but the thing is first, his attitude is toxic, i kinda understand him, he might be pissed of by people demanding repairs, that pisses me off to, mates hitting me at melee or wasting ammo on me to call my attention while im hacking, its just like wtf u think im doing dood?, but whats the whole point on coming to the forums to write that, and like that? And second, the thing here, the whole thing is that there isn't support logi, or scout logi, or assault logi, there is just logi, and logi is ment to be support, and supports repair, they can also do this or that, but logis repair, minmatar is kinda an exception given the awesome hack bonus, but still, logis repair, and thats it.

Poonmunch Sanguis Defense Syndicate 570	Posted - 2013.11.27 15:19:00 - [38] - Quote I'm a sniper and I run a Minmatar advanced logi suit lots of times. When I do this I carry a couple of nanohives and uplinks. Before I run off to go sniping I lay these down in places where I know my team will need them (based on watching many games on many maps from a sniper's perspective). In between sniping reds, I run in and hack objectives, CRUs, supply depots, red vehicles and turrets. Mostly I do this behind the lines as I move around the map sniping. Putting uplinks and nanohives in the right places lets my team fight near objectives where they can hold up reds. This gives me very good opportunities in the sniping department. When I run with my corp can save my "true logi" guys from throwing down this equipment in areas close to our spawn points. Depending on the map, I'll run proximity mines because one or two tanks or clown cars (loaded with clowns) can shift the tide of battle quickly. Sometimes I'll throw down remotes to help me cover objectives. For obvious reasons I don't rep or scan. Running this semi-logi rig has given me up to half of my WP per game. Munch What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

Is something people assume. (Apologies to KHunt if we are derailing his thread here) Personally I agree with your view, which is why I'm a support logi. However, I also have a deep respect for the sandbox, which tells me that I must consider that other people want to use things in other ways, and that those views are also valid. That includes what I'm now calling "scout logi". Is there an argument that this role should be performed by a scout suit with more equipment slots (logi scout) instead? Sure there is. But does it really matter whether the game has scout logis or logi scouts? I'd say "not really". RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus

I agree with you, seeing it from perspective fault is CCP's, not OP's, ccp should expand the number of suits and its slot layout, but still, i dont get the point on positng that, and like that: true logi, wtf... he is just an assault that hacks fast and drops remote bombs...

I am a "True Logi" using my suit as intended. 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. Given that the Minmatar suits play like scout hybrids, OP kind of is playing as intended. That's how I rock my hulk hogan scout 4 shields Credon sg Nade Remotes Scanner Compact hive Adv hive / link Plate Complex red/green Pg mod " the defender fit"

Heavily nerfing logistics suits offensive capability. Removing their light weapons would probably be filed into this option. I would also like to mention that their ability to run equipment and tank should be left alone (or even buffed a little). B.) Lightly nerfing logistics suits while lightly buffing scout, assault, heavy suits. Either way, we will stop seeing logistic folks pulling down 10.0 K/d. If you specced into logi to be an offensive powerhouse then you will need to reconsider your dropsuit choices. No paid respecs without massive SP penalties.

You do know that scouts have better base movement and sprint speeds, right? How about passive bonuses that support their role as scouts (5% reduction to scan profile per level)? How about better base scan profiles, scan radius, and scan signatures? No, assaults cannot do everything scouts can do with more health. That being said, I would like to see scouts get another small buff in the near future. +10% max stamina and more stamina regen would be nice to see. No paid respecs without massive SP penalties.

T3s are the opposite of "specialist", by design, and were only introduced when there was already a broad base of very specialised T2 hulls - at least 40 of them, covering a huge range of play styles.

I have a hard time not believing that at some point the a Dev team intended for the logi suits to present the versatility that they do. Dust 514 has distinguished itself as the game where the Dev teams listen to solo playing, low skill children who complain when they die to superior players. That and they listen to Eve players who struggle in Dust because it's a much different game than a spaceship mouse click game. But I do agree that something should be done to make logi suits less effective than assault suits and heavy suits at slaying. But I don't think that locking such a versatile set of suits into one role is a good idea for the game. The logi suits should be a jack of all trades but master of none (except for a medic role which they should be able to master). Remove time in battle from ISK payout formula and provide a bonus to winning team... Watch battles become fun again.

People care that it can do everything better then everyone else. It's a jack of all trades, and master of all. As in, don't bother spec-ing into anything else to play PC. Look at what you get if you skill into logi from a medium frame. Now look at what you get from an assault when you skill into it from a medium frame. Logis get a completely different slot layout with their own sets of strengths and weaknesses while assaults get a a shield/racial bonus and a coat of white paint. Which one needs to be nerfed and which one needs to be buffed? I'm not saying Logis need to be nerfed. But you have to admit that it seems Logis are balanced on the basic and advanced level. Then why was my Caldari Logi nerfed... And yes I only have level 3 in it. Solo Player Squad status: Locked
