Commitment is key with the logistics class as you will be investing a lot of skill points into equipment and the use of survivability moduals; shields or armor depending on your chosen logistics race. You do not want to rush into things and skill straight into a prototype suit, as you won't have the necessary; equipment, models, weaponry or the ability to fit anything!

If you are considering skilling into Logistics with an alt, youGÇÖll be better off making a new PSN account and make one from that; rather than using a spare character slot. Since SP is paramount with this class, youGÇÖll need all the SP you can get! So make a new account, this is so you can gain the passive SP earned every second (which only applies to one character slot per account).

Depending if you are using boosters or not, it will take you roughly 2 months to gain enough SP for a prototype suit (2,487,360 SP), youGÇÖll be better off spending that SP in gaining; CPU/PG upgrades, advanced equipment, moduals, weaponry and an advanced logistic suit to familiarise yourself with the role and trade tools. Because rushing into prototype suit will leave you feeling underpowered and useless; making you a easy target while at the same time losing a lot of ISK in the process!

Heres a basic step by step guide to help you in becoming the mercenary everyone will be asking for:
