does anyone else think these bonuses should be swapped? I'm not talking about game balance, just thematically. i mean, maybe the devs think having us following around a fat slaver on a rep leash is amusing, but you know... too soon maybe?

Actually, I think they're rather fitting. I mean, lets look at the factions. Minmatar is known for fielding ships that are fresh from the scrapyard, and dropsuits that look the same. To say they are Eve's answer to Warhammer 40k's orks is not far from the mark. Not that it's true. While Minmatar captains may think their wills are what's keeping the ship flying, everyone knows the unsung heroes are the mechanics that are constantly fixing it. Their bonus to repair tools just makes sense.
Meanwhile, Amarr commanders tend to follow the Zapf Brannigan school of leadership. Enough said on that. |

Repair tools are Minmatar. Drop uplins are Amarr. It would be weird if they got bonuses to using their enemies stuff.

well, i assumed they would retcon that if they swapped the bonuses. it's not like it's tied into the rest of the eve universe.

If you look at the slot layouts though as well... the amarr seems more combat oriented... getting up close and dropping links and getting in the fray.
With 4 equip slots, the minmater is very much a 'true logi' vs the combat logi theme that caldari and amarr logis focus on.
I think the bonuses align with the intended playstyles quite well tbh. |

You have it wrong...That yellow stream represents us giving a golden shower to the fat slavers. We are metaphorically p*ssing on them and they LOVE it.

i thought you were agreeing with me until the last sentence. what does a rep slave need with four slots? you just need the one. maybe two for when your boss needs a pickup.
the slave is also more likely to be in combat than the speedy dude running around the edge of the map dropping links.
i have an idea. make a fifth race for the ammatar and give the rep bonuses to them. the suits will look just like amarr but with a brown nose plating.

Bonuses to racial specific equipment was probably the worst thing they did to logis. This is is a solid indication that we're never going to get any more equipment, or the bonuses are going to be eventually changed... again.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

Or, they'll eventually tie the bonuses to the suit so that the skill level acts only as a multiplier...letting them give us variants of suits. ie: a min logi that is bonused for repping, and another that has only a sidearm but gets a bonus to cloaks...or something. Just an idea I pulled straight out of my backside for an example. |
