+ 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

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.
