The Caldari logi equipment bonus is like any of the other racial logi bonuses. It will simply allow that dropsuit to use it's racial equipment as well as the equipment currently functions in 1.7...

Meaning, when you are a Caldari logi you can drop nanohives and they won't completely suck like when anyone else drops them. They function in the exact same way they always have: drop them in hallways and on staircases or at the feet of some heavy.

Not true.
The longevity of the hives is being cut, but ammo percentages and reps are remaining the same.

Cal logi and how will you use it? Hive bonus kind of limiting to just guarding an area seems like.

For me the cal logi suit seems likely to be the New FOTM slayerlogi suit, let me explain:

You can get 502 Shields that reps at 40 per second after 4 Seconds, thats the current scout Shield recharge speed....

On top of that you can easily stack 420 armor, weapon and nades at proto and then put lets say a triage hive, an allotek hive and a proto scanner. Yes you won't have passive reps for those 420 armor but you get 88 back per impulse With those triage hives.....

So, 922 HP With a combined rep count of 128 while only using 1 triage hive, its gonna be scary.

How does anything you just said disprove what I said in my first post?

Summary of my first post: Caldari logis can drop nanohives that don't suck. (Caldari Logistics Bonus: +10% to nanohive max. nanites and +5% to supply rate and repair amount per level). Other than that, they will perform the same as they did in 1.7.

Then you proceed talk about the other equipment options how they are being balanced in 1.8 like that is somehow relevant.

I guess what I am asking is: what the hell are you going on about?

I think you're right King Babar. The slot layout and base stats are well suited to the slayer logi role. It will have a good balance of armor to shield, so that you are not vulnerable to any one type of damage. It will have high eHP so you can brawl toe to toe. Moreover, it will have a high regen, so you can skirmish and withdraw if needed. All this with some flexibility to fit equipment and decent speed could make for a scary combo.

I may have ended up rambling a bit but wha I basically meant was 'no, CalLogi is getting a flat buff to equipment, and nanohives are nearly unchanged. Spam will increase, but that's it.

I thought you said somewhere that all equipment was being nerfed so it could only be used by a particular logi, too...

forgive me, I'm a bit sleepy

Let me translate:
"Nerf the Cal Logi,it shouldn't be a better slayer than its assault counterpart"

Yeah....
More assault QQ.
