True logi here as well. I don't always carry a repper, but I'm always using my equipment to better the team. One of the biggest problems is how class roles are designed. They're either too defined (heavy) too ambiguous (assault and scout) or lack incentive. (logistics)

In our case, there's little to the risk/reward ratio for support actions vs killing. Keeping in mind that this is an FPS and we're all supposed to be able to kill, there's not enough to warrant support or simply using equipment, especially at higher tiers. WP/m gains for support actions should scale up based on equipment meta level for all equipment, but with a lower rate or ceiling for basic and its highest at prototype. This way using higher tier (and significantly expensive) equipment will be more rewarding than ramping up +50 WP per kill. Other classes need to be looked at as well in regards to their roles, and bonuses to reflect it, keeping racial battle philosophies in mind all while leaving it open to player interpretation.

I definitely agree with you on this Cosgar. If I use a Militia repair tool vs a proto repair tool, I get rewarded more for using the militia one (or level 1) just because it doesn't rep as much per cycle. On the other hand the guy I'm repping may not be around very long if I only use a Meta 1 rep tool because he just won't survive but that's beside the point. If he gets to cover the meta 1 rep tool will pay off more than the proto.

This is more like punishing people for using good gear, not exactly smart in terms of a fair isk vs risk scenario either considering the lower meta using people risk less isk and are rewarded with more isk if they perform well for whatever reason. This isn't just true for Logis but also for all classes of merc. There is no reward scaling and enticement to use better gear other than usability and effectiveness. Honestly it makes no sense to me.
