I''d recommend having the HUD's hit point meters glow a different color (orange would work or w/e) and have the text "Repair in Progress" or some such displayed over the meter as an indicator.
You don't want more clutter in the HUD so center messages are rarely a good idea, but a small change such as above (color doesn't add clutter) is obvious enough but doesn't detract from the player's primary goal of watching his view.
That guy you killed with 0% shields?
Yeah, I sniped him - go team.
Oh, you didn't know...hmm.

+ 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  +1 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.

Thinking on situations where I need logistics help of any kind, I really wish there was a command like I mentioned above for SEEKING help.
Ever found yourself wondering where the nearest hive or depot is? It happens a lot early and late in battles as conditions rapidly change. Opening the map isn't exactly good for your health if you're in the hot seat either.
What I'd propose is, through that radial menu, a "Seek Logistics" Command, that would create a simple pointer on the HUD or just the radar that points to the nearest hive or supply depot and is active for 10 seconds tops...generally all you need is a rough idea of direction.
Just a quality of life improvement.
