uh, no.. the goal should be to make logistics suits STAY THE **** out of combat!!
Do you know what the definition of a "support" role is, in pretty much any other game?
A "support" role, is a role which "supports" other players who do the actual killing.
If a logi is getting a majority of its points... or even just a significant fraction of its points... from killing.. then it isnt particularly fitting a support role.
Similarly, if most logi players are getting a large chunk of their points from killing, then there is something wrong with the design of the suit.
Hopefully, the changes coming in 1.8 will fix the current design flaws.

We will see how far you get as a straight assault player.
pro tip: I'm not an assault player. Yet , your own words seem to indicate that other assault players dont see particular value in having logis right up next to them. So nothing much will be missed.

Minmatar combat logi till the end.
Well then, hopefully that end will be 1.8

Are you gonna tell a combat medic in war that he has to drop his body armor and only carry a sidearm and that he should run out into an open field to try to rescue people who have been shot?
no, I'm saying that sane medics only run out into a field after it has been reasonably secured by the people who are supposed to actually be doing direct combat.
Because most of their carry load is supposed to be for MEDICAL SUPPLIES, NOT BODY ARMOR.
Tip to the prior poster who claimed he wanted "TEAM play"... that is team play. You have to rely on other people doing their jobs properly, so you can do yours properly.
If you can do it all yourself.. it isnt particularly team play any more.

That's understandibly scary.... however, what you failed to factor into the experience, is that you were supposed to learn better how to stay alive, with less armor.
Go play as a basic scout full time for a month. (with all of 130hp or something)
Then go back to playing cal logi.
you may be surprised by how you suddenly start staying alive a lot longer than you used to.
(presuming you are flexible enough to actually learn something from the 1 month, that is) |
