I'm sorry I did not read the whole topic.

As a Scout I would like see more equipment items that required less CPU/PG like "Stable Drop Uplink", or "Compact Nanohive" on every tier level and equipment category.

At the moment dominates the trend saying that the more advanced equipment requires much more CPU / PG than its predecessor. I would like to see(for example):
- ADV nanohive that is slightly better than STR nanohive or have stats similar to them, with lower CPU/PG req. then STR versions.
or:
- PRO nanite injector, that cost same as other PRO stuff, but have stats of ADV version with STR CPU/PG req.

Thanks.

LOL, your cancer is entertaining. You think spamming equipment makes you a "true support logi"? Use your equipment as needed by yourself or your team is what a real logi do. I can not believe you mention to combat the changes put in place by CCP to fix equipment spam is to spam even more. Alll the changes I proposed are to weed out easy mode no skill equipment spam monkeys. These changes would do little to nothing to a real logi.

@emtbraincase:
Equipment spam isn't going to be more, but I do agree it will happen more often. That is a good thing. This means a logi will have to be proactive and have battlefield awareness as his equipment is depleted.

Instead of having infinite spawns/ammo/rep hives covering every objective for the entirety of a match that next to never depletes, some of these ihives will actually disapeer.

The slow spawn times on uplinks gives players a chance to kill the hostiles present, then the uplinks without getting shot in the back before he can destroy the equipment.

The shorter rep tool range means the logi will be slightly more visible to his enemies, giving them the reasonable means to counter him and his Heavy.

I'm wondering: if someone using an active Cloak Field is caught inside the blast radius of a Flux Grenade (knowing that Flux Grenades interfere with almost every piece of equipment) will he get decloacked?
And what about taking damage?

They took our natural repair...

1. Not sure if I agree or not it would depend on the limit I guess.
2. Disagree defending a point would be incredibly dicey if all of a sudden all your equipment can vanish, would also defeat the purpose of a fall back uplink or RE's if it applied to them as well.
3. Disagree I don't see anything wrong with the nano injector, fair enough people can revive you infront of a red heavy from time to time but limiting the number of uses means the logi supporting your team would have to keep count and if he hits the limit leave the squad to go and restock it which would be a giant pain for logi's and the squad. Plus imagine the QQ on the forums when people don't get picked up because the logi has no revives left.
4. No, good god no to repair effectively I would have to fit cardiac regs? also how does this make sense I can fire an AR all day only stopping to reload and not get tried but lifting a small rep tool tires me out? Think about it you shout for a logi because you need repairs, he now has 2 choices 1, take his sweet time waddling over to you to conserve stamina to rep you or 2, sprints over getting to you quickly but then has to either wait out stamina recharge or repair you a little bit at a time. Logi's also have low stamina.

Also if anything lower effectiveness of hives will mean even more equipment spam, say now I can put 1 triage hive and one nano hive in a good spot for a heavy to defend, in 1.8 these hives will run out quicker so people will be tempted to put more in that spot to get the same effectiveness as before. Uplink spam will also increase they take longer for people to spawn and have less health making them more vulnerable so people will place more to try and guarantee an uplink survives. People who spam equipment in weird places hoping for random points will still do so it just means their hives etc... wont last as long so the occasional logi who spawns coats the map in hives and afk's for WP will still do it but to make up for the lower time their equipment can be used they will probably just put more out.

I know, right.
If they wanted to stop Equipment spam, wouldn't the appropriate way be that if you die the equipment dies with you? Or if you swapped out at a supply depot?

^This.^

Do you guys have any idea how fast a battle can move to a different location or how quick a protohive can be depleted?

You guys just make being a logi useless.

As long as we have deployable support-equipment that you can drop down and forget about we will see equipment spam by players who will just spawn in a different suit after that. Changing to a system as described above, will only hurt the people that want to truly play a logi.

It's time that we realize see that building on the current support-system will always end up sucky in one way or another.

-1 to equipment changes.

only viable change is the snap shot, yet the scan angle should increase to like 120 degree's with that type of cool down they are implementing.

A bit late to the party but here is my honest feedback where I have any opinion at all. For context I've been playing logistics since closed beta so I've been using those tools on a regular basis.

Drop Uplinks
- Increased spawn time, I do not like this at all. One of the reasons why I love/d playing Dust is because it is mostly non-stop action. Having to wait even more between deaths is a buzzkill for me.

Nanohives
- What was the reason to reduce nanites? I see no logical reason for it. The only hive that had too much was the Wiyrkomi Triage hive. I never even thought it was a problem anyway.
- I'm disappointed that the opportunity was not used to introduce a new nanohive at protype level (or an existing one modified). Currently the Ishukone Gauged is by far the best, 4 carried and max 3 deployed. I would have liked to see a variant with 4-5 carried and 1-2 max deployed.

Repair tools
- Again what is the rationale for reduced range and repair rate?
- The range of the Core Focused Repair tool, 7.5m, is simply too short.
- Still no installation specific repair tool (to keep supply depos alive from tank barrages), please bring the old A/7 back.

Active scanners
- I do not like that you have essentially removed the ability to do area sweep scans. This is a massive nerf to the scanner. If you are compelled to keep the instant scan then please at least consider widening the scan angles.
- Scanners are yes very powerful. However, I would have fixed them by buffing profile dampeners (so it would be easier to hide from them), and nerfing the scan duration, especially on the Duvolle Quantum.

Conclusions
I'm really sorry for not being more constructive but it is really hard seeing as most all equipments are getting a massive nerf. Overall I think equipment was fairly balanced as it was before. There were couple of areas that needed desperate improvements, uplink & hive spam, illogical WP rewards for low level gear to name a few, and they are still a problem. You changed things that in my opinion did not need fixing and skipped fixing the most important things that is wrong with equipment.

Remnant,I find the battle moves more then my nano hives can be effective. Can you explore adding one more carried to each of the nano hives.

Scanner Changes
I'm really not sure what happened here, read the changes and said WTF.
It's a massive nerf in both directions.
Suggestion: remove the concept of directional scanning and make it more like vehicle scanners, including the graphic around the logi. Makes the Logi visible through the graphic but scanning omni-directional.
Cooldowns are way too long
Snapshots in a given direction are odd when the amount of time required to light up enemy suits had already been nerfed a bit.
Scanners were the cornerstone of good teamwork .. now I'm not so sure that people will use them with the massive nerfs ... time will tell.

The major problem I see from this is not so much the specialisation of the suits-> equipment.

I can see Cal and Amarr logi's taking multiple hives/uplinks - making them work more effectively. They are after all the more 'combat' races
The Gal and Min logi's can be counted on for scans / reps, making decent intel/medics.

Remember that since they're getting a reduction to the fitting cost of equipment then they can balance out inadequacies by fitting better equipment. (Something I wish I could do more now) so in a way kinda evens out.

The problem I do have is other classes making use of equipment will be severely hampered. Someone specialising in a assault suit wanting to place uplinks at the start of the battle will have to compromise his fit even more to get the same effect as now.
Scouts may also suffer this problem if they want to have a cloak as well (depending on the visual effectiveness of the cloak. If it is good then the scout can sacrifice protection for good equipment) a basic stable uplink simple won't cut it, even behind the lines - 15s 10 spawns = may as well just hack a CRU.

I'm not a big fan of over specializing. For one, we have yet to see if each faction has its own variant of each equipment available on the LP store or if there will be a Player Market so that those that don't run Amarr or Caldari FW (Because, let's face it, people will still run Gallente and Minmatar because they still have the best LP stuff) can get the equipment. Also, just as you said, it will severely hamper everyone else and reduce almost all equipment to being a logi only thing.

What's that, you have zero levels into any Logi suit? Sucks for you. Better hope there's a Caldari and Amaar Logi on your team or else you're screwed. All the enemy team has to do to win in 1.8 is hope there's no Caldair/Amaar logi (proto level) and blow up/continually hack the CRU/Supply depots (Or blow them up), which will be easy since there will most likely be tons of Minmatar Scouts running around, and just redline you.

Again, most logis will agree with me, if they roll this out, the logi role will most suredly die and I will run blueprint fittings and sit on any SP I gain.
