I think there are some changes there that wouldn't turn out well. The HMG +20m range buff would be too much. They need to fix the bullet spread of the HMG before they make any range adjustments.

One way to guarantee more logi support would be to removal all passive dropsuit armor repair across the board. Maybe even come out with a shield transporter for logis (that would be a good suit bonus for the calogi to bring it back into favor).

I think they may need to consider messing with the movement speed/penalties to shake things up a bit as well. I think this would buff shields indirectly, bringing some much needed balance there. Armor and shields have flip flopped too excessively.

Sooo... You want to make Assaults into deities, Scouts game-breakingly fast, and give HMG's 60 feet more range? All this just so the QQ nerf brigade forgets about us Logis? I'm confused...

Let's be honest. No suit last's longer than 1 second anymore. Buffing Assaults in this way will make them the only viable suit. Massive damage output, passive repair, great speed and stamina, and a health increase to boot? TTK would only go up on Assaults (by .5 seconds) and that is all anyone would run. This would truly make it AR 514, even more so than it already is...

All that needs to happen in to give the Assaults their damn 2nd equipment slot back at Adv and Proto tier. Problem solved.

Assaults don't need it. Giving them a second EQ slot would just make scouts useless, even if you gave them second EQ slot as well. I'd give that second EQ slot to Scouts only.

CCP has already said buffing scout speed will break the game.

A 2nd EQ slot will do nothing for Assaults. We won't be able to fit anything in it anyway.

Not sure why people think that's thew Assaults problem, but whatever.

No range for the HMG. More Damage and dont have it work like a LASER. Thats why it sucks in CQC. Everything else i can agree with

I'd rather they fix core issues like TTK, rendering, and frame rate before trying to rebalance anything else for an already broken game.

In a game that to this point has been balanced around bad hit detection, rescinding the emergency 10% buff in 1.0 doesn't look like it's going to be enough. DPS, kick, dispersion, strafe speed, EHP, damage profiles... etc need to be rebalanced now that we're not relying on incidental damage. Logistics are deemed as OP right now because that lack of a sidearm or any other difference between the different suit classes are so narrow since you don't really need a sidearm and have to rely on buffer tanking for a shred of survivability. There's way too many weapons that are too good across the tiers and many that are only good at prototype. We can't just put a band-aid on this one. This might require a full rework for what this game was meant to be from the start: a strafing, high health, FPS.

Notice I haven't used the term nerf in anything I said. Re-balance as in reevaluate core gameplay, mechanics so that we don't have another TAC AR and core flaylock. Both guns were "adjusted" under broken game mechanics. While the TAC AR was still usable, the flaylock (which was only OP at prototype) got overnerfed in retrospect since hit detection/aiming mechanics were still a lingering issue.
Fixing core problems so the game actually functions as intended will paint a clearer picture of what the real balancing issues are.

My first reaction is Hell No.

1. +20% hp? 10 friggin hp persecond? thats double my proto minni logi. I propose to give em an extra low or high slot instead, depending on racial variant of course.
2. In my opinion Scouts dont need more speed. Duvolles and geks doing hundreds of damage per second plus auto aim makes speed redundant. I'd rather give them an extra equipment slot and a bit more base hp.
3. Heavies are not lacking for eHP, rather in the effectiveness of heavy weapons. Improve the stopping power of the HMG plus a bit more range. but it will always be difficult to balance seeing that, lets face it CCP has zero plans to design any heavy weapons any time soon. Maybe double the dmg out put?
4) The logi bonus should reflect the race, because obviously they need separate traits to to fill in the niches of certain kinds of gameplay. Besides, remove my hacking bonus and i'll have to nova knife you while you sleep. Cheers!

''unlike that other guy''

i Struggle to pay attention to anyone calling themselves a logi with your Sig

I am sure some genius has had this idea before but you cud just partition the cpu/pg. Some for the suit, some for the equipment. It cud probably cleared up in a hot fix then.

Not sure I can support any post that uses the term "real logi" (or "true logi"). Too dismissive of other playstyles.
