what i would like to see is"triage available" as a small message in the corner of the screen or an actual triage icon on the logi rather than another green/blue arrow. this way you know when a logibro is about and can go looking for him if required. when a logi actually locks onto you it should say something on the lines of "triage active". this will likely keep players in los with logis.

+ icon means they have a repair tool fit
and icon for resupply would be on logi's with nano's
etc

rep icon is priority over resupply, resupply over needle etc. this way you can find the right logi for you

Good idea!

But I wouldn't restrict this to Logi class only. Use this behaviour for all classes that carry Injector, Tool or Hive Smile

problem with that is you will have people pestering assaults and scouts etc for ammo etc. its a logis job to help players out and be pestered and we are rewarded with wp. currently when you need a rep or ammo you run to the nearest yellow suit and shoot him till he helps you in some way. imagine people doing that to you in pubs and FW just so they can use your own personal stash.

Whenever a player is killed, but clone is not terminated, players equipped with injectors have an icon that shows where they are - this is great and doesn't clutter. The same concept could be applied via an active 'command'. Players could be given in their radial menu (R2) the 'request logistics' command which would place a given symbol over them and show up on any player with repair tools/hives in range, much like downed team members do to injector holders.

This 'beacon' would only be active for 15 seconds and immediately deactivates upon the player gaining any kind of aid, repairs, ammo, or otherwise. It would help logis identify players quickly that have lost armor/shields/ammo. This prevents the annoyance of a 'permanent beacon' (or at least dissuades it some) and gives players another tool for communicating needs. Yelling on mic "I'm Aerius and need reps" doesn't help since radar doesn't display names and thus logis, unless looking AT you, have no clue where you are.

Intuitive communications is always a win. Cool

I think they should bring it back, but not blind you like part time. Or maybe have your health HUD flash green when being repaired. we have "you have been scanned" in the center of the screen. maybe we can have a green "triage active" when being repaired by a rep tool I will logi the s* out of you https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

It is not rocket science. 90-175hps. your only going to notice it when your taking a lot of damage but if the damage is gradual or about what your receiving in triage you don't tend to think your taking damage so run round the corner and bam, triage lost and that damage now hurts. ttk is too low to be watching your health bar go up and down in combat. if someone is guarding you then that buys you time but you need to know its there first or players react as if there is no triage... next thing i know im shooting the enemy instead of repairing the assaults etc infront of me because they are hiding when they could be killing I will logi the s* out of you https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

Intuitive communications is always a win. doesn't solve the issue of players not noticing they have taken damage let alone someone is trying to repair them. your suggestion assumes players will request help and wait around for it. as what happens in most cases players dont look for help and dont wait for repairs when it is there and then all of a sudden they realise and wait. all we need as logis is for players being repaired to know when it is happening. some players actually run around looking for a logi when he is trying his hardest to try and catch them to repair them because they run away part way through and didn't notice the first reps. it happens with squad mates all the time and we are on comms with each other I will logi the s* out of you https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find
