Good god.

Logistics is a role.

Just SSJ.

The standard was set in EVE with Logistics ships that are designed for fleet support, hence the assumption that Logistics on the ground would echo that same sentiment.

then whats a plane ole medium frame? a role as well?

your not technically wrong, but within this context you are.

as any suit can fulfil any role. (however bad at it they may be they can still fill that role)

A medium frame is a suit. It has no definition other than "a medium-framed dropsuit."

The "logistics" in the title of the logistics suit is basically a descriptive of what the logistics suit does...which is logistics.

Your bringing remote explosives for deployment to the battlefield. You are combat-logistics.

EVE is a space combat sandbox MMORPG, Dust 514 is a lobby based FPS. We all have guns, our job is to kill each other while making money first and our secondary role second. Some logis help their team by repping the teammate that's getting shot at, others shoot the guy that's about the shoot their teammate and rep him between fights. You've said before that you used to use an AR with your heavy. Play the way you want and **** what everyone else says. It's a ****ing FPS, not Dungeons and Douchebags.

int he real world logistics is a open ended catch all for "the **** that happens behind the curtain" aka how goods get from point A to point B

i know becuase ive worked in "logistics" for 5 years

and ill tell ya if you really want loading an unloading trailers to be a role in DUST514 then your welcome to make a petition in for that.

as for your logic, if "logistics" is a role because the suit is named that then "medium frame" is also a role

No need to call out the dogs, I was simply saying what CCP seems to have wanted Logistics to be in EVE, and hence, where the name came from. I still think logi's are a bit too wonder bread, but I don't claim to know the "solution". CCPs interest in giving them equipment based bonuses intrigues me though. And again, not saying one way or the other here, but SMG's are pretty damn boss

And I currently use the AR on my fatty, it's the only way to put in reliable solo work with a heavy, and I can run full BPOs with the exile, while benefiting from the skills. I have HMGs and ARs skilled the same, I just find the AR to be better in most situations. Plus, BPO

My logic is that the thing that separates a logistics suit from every other suit is the multiple equipment slots. Every single one has more than one. Equipment in this game is meant to assist the team in some fashion (for now).

Logistics is maintenance, supplying, making sure **** gets to where it needs to be. You've worked the occupation for 5 years; you should know it's more than loading and unloading trailers.

Logistics means versatality not support or whatever. Completely agree there.

The idea is that logistics are supposed to be good at all sorts of things and not just one specific thing. Heavies are good at defense, assaults are good at killing, scouts are good at being sneaky...Logistics are somewhat decent at all of those things, just not great in one area.

The problem is that the extra module slots that let them be versatile are used to just stack health and damage with very little downsides for using 3 or more modules.

most importantly, logistics is behind the scenes, not front lines.

real world logistics personal are not intended for combat.

and please tell me how my remote explsives do or dont help the team in some way :P

if you argue that they do help the team, then the same would be tru for literally any equipment a "slayer" logi would use

and if they dont help the team, then your opinion would be that my chosen class of "demolitions" isnt valid

"not intended for front lines" is not in the description or definition for logistics.

I know that Dust 514 is a training simulator imposed by the government for the secret space-marine program, but lets pretend for a second that Dust 514 isn't an accurate depiction of real life.

Your remote explosives can be used to blow up enemy equipment or multiple enemies, both of which are negatives to your team's efforts. This is obviously not true of all equipment since they can't blow things up. It IS true that all equipment can be used to help the team.

Your demolitions fitting is valid. It is also logistics.

If a killer-bee is using equipment, it can still be beneficial to the team. You'll notice that they, most popularly, put down small hives that produce a pheromone over a certain area that attracts all of the other insects on their side of the field.

1. The aspect of military operations that deals with the procurement, distribution, maintenance, and replacement of materiel and personnel.
2. The management of the details of an operation.

If only we had equipment that could perform maintenance on dropsuits, distribute ammunition to teammates, and provide info on the more detailed aspects of our operations like enemy troop and equipment placement.

OH, IF ONLY!

If only we had a suit that could capitalize on these logistical abilities, perhaps by having extra equipment slots to utilize multiple pieces of this theoretical equipment. But what would we call them...

God forbid that this game corresponds with EVE logic. Because that would be just silly

lol :P

you are correct! yay you knwo what it means!

except providing info ala scanner is intellegence not logistics.

in real world military practics the "logistics" role is typically people who arnt put directly into combat, and you certainly wouldnt want them in your 16 man kill squad your sending in, they are more likely to be the ones flying the warbarge and maintaining the RDVs. the mechanic that works on the hummer is logistics, not the guy who drives it.

as for your logic, if "logistics" is a role because the suit is named that then "medium frame" is also a role

Give logis bonus to piloting LAVs and dropships.. would make so much sense! They transport materials/equipment on the battlefield. Possibly also a bonus to the commander role, when that is released. Dropping in turrets and other installation. And relaying overall battle info to squads.

its funny though because when push comes to shove in eve they use carriers and super carriers for the reps :P


the logistics ships are only really used in incursions/multiboxing/small gang/netural rep trolling/


so really EvE set the standard for things not being used in ways that their name would suggest.

On that note, how much ISK do you think it'll be for a installation? I'd imagine it'd be more expensive then a vehicle without any additions, but cheaper overall since you only have to buy the installation.

Well. Installations should cost as much as a tank TBH. You should buy it with EVE ISK though.

On the other hand, the Logistics Cruiser itself has no weapon hardpoints whatsoever.

You keep using that word, i dont think it means what you think it means.

While the rest of your post is spot on, this is blatantly wrong.

ALL logistics cruiser have either turret or launcher hardpoints. Also, they have drones, and a bonus to rep drones, but you can also fit offensive drones on them.

ALL of them, both t1 and t2.

The Logistics dropsuit is outfitted with the latest in integrated diagnostic technology, most of which revolves around maintaining the condition and efficiency of squad mates and their equipment. As such, a soldier equipped with this class of dropsuit becomes a force multiplier, greatly improving the overall effectiveness of the unit.

Utilizing a combination of high- and low-tech equipment, operators of the logistics suit are able to make effective repairs to installations, vehicles, and even other soldiers; every apparatus required for field triage is present and easily accessible from the utility pockets and satchels attached to the suit. Its hydraulic assisted exoskeleton allows the wearer to effortlessly hoist heavy equipment, while the helmet is packed with material scanners sensitive enough to spot microfractures in layered steel.

When deployed, a soldier equipped with a Logistics suit fills a vital tactical role in small unit operations and full-scale warfare, providing both, medical and mechanical support.
