The plan to remove the hacking bonus is very unpopular among minmatar logis. This is being reflected all over the generall discussion forum. It was the best thing about an unpopular suit, a suit that wasn't noted for protostomping but for actual logi work. Slayer logis went to the suits that had the most tank they could possibly squeeze in, and thus the caldari and gallente trends were "in". More dedicated logis went to the suit that could provide the most support. The HP meant it cound really do too much front line fighting. The speed let it get where it had to be. The hack bonus meant tuning objectives and installations blue were vitally in support of the team. Replacing it with a few extra meters rep tool range in game about finding cover means unless reppers can rep through walls means its completely useless. The range of a rep tool is already the least sought after piece of info in dust. When did anyone have clear line of sight on a bluedot/green dot 31 meters away? The extra boost in rep hp doesn't seem so bad until one realises its only worth 20 HP at proto level. Thats not even 1 round. The supposed time saved is much less than the time saved by getting a speed hack done. And whats the point of a speed based logi if i'm stuck behind the slowest suit?
Basically, CPP your getting rid of the best thing about the supposedly weakest logi. The suit that was the best tactical suit in the game. Please don't.
Thank you

Honestly giving the fastest logi (Minmatar) the Amarr bonus of "reduction to spawn times" would make more sense, as would the converse (giving the tough Amarr logi a rep tool bonus).
That being said, a hack bonus would be interesting on something like the Minmatar Scout albeit 5% per level might be a little high. |

Scouts however are on the periphery of the battle, giving them time to hack and objective away from prying eyes. My Mini logi is with the team pushing for the spot, underfire is when the speed hack really cimes into play. Heck, i can barley run my alts because the regular hacking speed is so slow. And to replace that awesomeness, with rep tool range in game where you have to utilize cover and stick close together to survive? Even worse it was the CPM who came up with the idea. They left the scout bonuses where they where why couldn't they do the same with the minmatar logi?

I'm tempted to take a flight to Iceland and take a dump in the foyer of CCP HQ for even mentioning taking away my hacking bonus. Then fly to Shanghai to do the same to remove any doubt of my displeasure.
