I feel like the Gal/Minnie are getting the better end of the deal with the bonuses.
Gallente won't have to equip higher meta level scanners in order to achieve desirable scan precision.
Minmatar in the same boat for a cheaper fit, but also with the option of breaking out proto rep tool for some fairly impressive numbers.
Caldari will be great for setting up a rooftop Forge, or for massive grenade spam. Nice perk, but a flux will clear it out.
Amarr .... well.... wow.. they got shafted...
There was also a DEV post implying that there was some consideration towards making equipment hackable, once again the Cald and Amarr logi bonus is lessened.
The split is along the faction lines, and i'd guess that was intended, gallente and minmatar vs amarr and caldari, perhaps there is other equipment in the pipeline that will replace certain bonuses if not change the logi completely?

I am aware of the Uplinks relevance to staging fights. It is a necessary logistic implement, but its use require mercs to die. If a merc can be kept alive and resupplied then there is no release of pressure. Hives are great, needles also (though they come with some personal danger to the reviver in any situation where there are still enemies present).
Rep tools don't make you invulnerable, no. High burst negates them. Smart play coupled with a rep tool is a force multiplier, allowing lead downrange with less downtime than a nearby uplink.
If both team havescanners they negate themselves somewhat, but if you don't have your team is at a severe disadvantage.
I haven't been watching the forums for a bit so I wasnt aware that equipment is getting nerfed, sorry  . I think i had an inkling but yeah i wasn't thinking along those lines.
I'm not saying that everyone should aim for speccing into one suit or the other, and each suit will have its purposes. I guess at this point I'm not feeling bothered by the bonuses applying unevenly to equipment counts.
though I reserve the right to change my mind at random 
i dunno.. just ignore my posts in this thread : / *jedi hand wave*

Ewar Logi suit variants possibly?
deployable, handheld or throwable?
webifiers
ECM (loss of tacnet intel/chevrons etc)
Dampeners (reverse scanners)
Scanner is already like a target painter i guess?
Tracking Disruption (erm...... ????) dun think so :P unless webs only affect movement and not turning speed.
'other'
drones
mini turrets
CCP Shanghai have been looking for an AI programmer, drones or pve or both in the works?
I'm all over the shop really, sorry... I'm kinda finding it hard to take any changes seriously until we have a balanced and more EvE-Like combat system.
