same will go for the stupid pilot suit- they will nerf flight and the pilot suit will only bring us back up to where we are now.

I guess CCP believes that the best way to make Logistics balanced was to make all of the Logistics suck at using all but one type of equipment.

And then you have all the butthurt people saying "That's what you get for being a slayer logi." or ""Karma's a b!tch ain't it?"

That is why in 1.8, only Heavies and other Logis are getting any ammo or reps from me.

(And yes, I include Commandos when I say heavies)

The equipment nerf is to make a clear difference between each Logistics. By reducing the effect of Nano Hives, Spawn Uplinks, and Repair Tools, they are able to make it very obvious which Logistics suit is better in a specific regard. Caldari is going to be better at dropping Nano Hives (more in each Hive and gives out more, faster), the Amarr is going to be better at getting troops into location (more uses per Spawn Pad and faster respawn rates), and Minmatar will focus on the repair tool (longer range and more healed per second).

Kind of lame? Possibly, but it actually makes things different.

Exactly.

They should also nerf the ROF on the rifles as well. That way the only way to be even slightly effective with the rifle is to completely max out your Assault skills.

And nerf the base HP on the Sentinels so that you have the same or slightly better performance as before, but only when you max out your Sentinel skill.

Seriously. What idiot over by Shanghai comes up with these ideas?

Wow, so much negativity in this thread.

I think it is a great idea:

All equipment gets nerfed, well almost all, come on think about it.

Need something scanned? Who you gonna call?
Need a nanohive? Who you gonna call?
Need some armor repaired? Who you gonna call?
Need to spawn in some where? Who's link you gonna use?

Now, loners in assault and scout suits will have enough ammo/repair nanohoves for themselves, but will be far more reluctant to want to share. You didn't bring ammo and you need some, find a Cal logi. He'll probably have two or three different kinds.

This will cut down on equipment spam quite a bit, which is out of hand as it is now, if for no other reason than, many of these equipments will not last nearly as long.

The scanner nerf was over due. Same with the uplink nerf. Way to much spaming going on with both of these. These things will be far more tactical now.

The repair tool will still be effective. It'll just be far more effective in the hands of a Min logi.

Yah, I'm good with these changes. My Gal logi will have a focused roll (no pun intended): "find the enemy". Carrying a proto injector will be the best way to go for me now. I'll be planting more explosives on objectives. And will probably be a little stingy with my allotek.

I'm not seeing a problem here.

Silly logic.

Killing is the name of the game.

All frames of suits use rifles. If you make it so that you have to skill into the Assault classes to be back up to the current with rifles, you're hurting everyone without fixing much...

And honestly why would nerfing the Sentinels make sense?

know you're trying to raise a point but you're using illogical ideas as comparison for a logical idea. You might not like it but it actually makes a lot of sense why they did the equipment and Logis like they have done in those stats.
