Without a doubt, we'll need more logi support. Instead of a logi who reps and supplies ammo and scans, the main slayers will need logi ammo guys, logi rep guys, and logi scan guys. The squads I'm used to seeing will shift towards logi supporting logi slayers in squads full of logis, with a heavy in the mix, and a lone wolf scout deploying links and removing the need for the Amarr Logis, sorry.

I don't understand the logic going down with Logi's. Right now... Everyone uses equipment to the same capability. In 1.8 it will be pretty much the same except Logi's get a bonus to their racial equipment. It's a better role then. You and others are just sour because equipment overall is receiving a nerf. Newbies can't tell and won't have a reason to argue against it like you guys do. There's more benefits for the Logi role in 1.8 than it is now. Edit: And don't disclaim the Amarr Logi. When it's needed, those 3 second uplinks will be the things you desire the most.
With the big nerf to equipment, it will not make sense to multi fit my Caldari Logistics dropsuit. My links will be slow, my repper is range and HP/s nerfed, and my scanner will snapshot 60 or 90 degrees, while my nanohives will be slightly better than they are now. I'm going to load up with multiple nanohives and focus on slaying.
With these changes, the Min logi, even with it's 4 equipment slots, will be pointless for the multiple logistical roles. It'll fit reppers and injectors, but why fit multiple reppers? It might be better to fit out complex defensive modules and leave the other slots open. All of the races will benefit more from fitting multiple versions of their racial equipment. If you want a preview of the nanohive nerf, try the militia nanohive and then ask yourself if it would be worth fitting it on anything.
My friends and I have been talking about how to coordinate the scanner coverage. With the snapshot, we will have to call out the cardinal directions when scanning to optimize coverage. We'll assign ranges of directions to individual logi slayers. If this works, it may make sense for me to carry ammo and a scanner. More likely though, it will be better to have our Gal Logi bring multiple scanners and cycle through them for broad coverage, no coms traffic needed. My ammo will be too valuable to waste a slot on a scanners. More logi guys will fit the bill.
