Yes, my Gal logi would be gimped without the equipment bonus. There would not be enough cpu and pg for me to run a great equipment suite, excellent protection, and a strong weapon. Assuming that you want logi bros to be able to do their jobs well, we absolutely need the ability to do all of those things. If you want us to be worse at support, easier to kill, and/or unable to properly defend ourselves, then yes, take away some of our cpu and pg.

You can't target slayer logis without hurting support logis. The best solution to this is to beef up the assault class in some way through better base stats, a better slot layout, or effective bonuses.

Zahle: Tell me - how much extra CPU and PG will your current suits now have? Would your suit be any worse off if you didn't have it?

These are serious questions - I may be complaining now but I'm open to having my mind changed if it can be clearly and factually shown to me that logis will be no better off in 1.8.

I'm curious to know what defines a "slayerlogi" and what doesn't. Cause from what I've read, if a logi (god bless his soul) gets more than 2 kills leading up to the double digits, he is called a "slayerlogi". In which I don't understand because a medic is just as much as a mercenary next to Assault. It seems the title gets thrown around casually and the lines blur.

The armor rep really wasn't a problem. From my viewpoint, it was necessary since the logi needs to sustain life longer to help assist his team and throw himself in harms way. The armor repair function within the suit was ideal. But, the people cried foul. And they answered.

Loads of CPU/PG wasn't a problem either. It helped us logis to fulfill our roles, again.

As a Logibro, cloaking isn't my style. I know and understand that is more for the scout based roles. Plus I'm logi, sneaking isn't what I do. I run across fields filled with bullet fire with yellow markings that scream "kill this logibro here", just to rep a heavy, drop a uplink or place down some ammo.

I think its safe to say that people who uses items in a "FOTM" fashion, shouldn't be the factor in defining an entire skill class.

Overall, for me (an Amarr Logi) with my 3 equipment slots and use of ADV/PRO equipment, I might save 30-40 CPU and 5-6 PG. Pretty much, logis are getting their complex armor reppers traded in for CPU/PG mods that are only equipped when they run good equipment.
So really, if they want to make use of the extra resources, they need to fit the suit like an actual Logi anyway, hence, they aren't even slayerlogis anymore. Slayerlogis get practically nothing from this (they might get a tiny bit of resources if they run a scanner or hives) it is a nerf to them in every way. Reducing the CPU/PG of logis would just nerf equipment logis, really.

All in all, I can't see slayerlogis being a problem in 1.8 at all. If anything, I'm more worried about scouts with the huge buff they are getting.

Thank you - I'll eat my words and amend the OP. I hadn't realised the extra fittings capability wouldn't even cover a complex armor repper, so in that case, this set up looks fine until CCP can get around to doing their pass over the med frames.

There have been 2 problems with logis up to now:
1) Innate armor reps
2) Loads of CPU and PG

I disagree, sort of. The main problem, I would say, is the fact that logis have more module slots than any other suit. The points you mention are, however, related to this since they can be said to give extra slots compared to, say, assaults (one less repper, no/fewer fitting mods required).

They should just buff the the base stats of logis so they are on par with assaults, and then remove a slot or two. Maybe that's what they meant to do but didn't have time? ;)

What is it you people want!?
