Besides, the logi suit's equipment fitting bonus is bugged and is somehow being applied to the cloak so don't expect that fitting bonus to continue to work for the cloak on a logi once CCP deploys the hotfix.

Logis once marginalized us in speed, stamina, and even profile dampening at one point in the past.

That's valid Maken(though I have not actually seen evidence that it is indeed a bug), but the scout will still make better use of it being faster and with a lower scan resolution than anyone else that can manage to fit the thing. Even with the bonuses as they are I still have to give up a pretty substantial slice of my resources(either tank or other equipment) where the proto scouts do not seem to be having to make that trade off. Seems fine from my point of view as a dedicated support logi who only picks up the cloak for giggles when no one else is online.

I can't seem to find the link anymore but I do vividly remember that either CCP logibro or CCP Remnant confirmed that the logi bonus was not to apply to the cloak. It was posted in the forums just a couple of weeks before 1.8 hit.

If I get caught in the open trying to sneak pass I'm done. If I was a scout I have a high chance of escaping due to my speed, agility, stamina as well as small hit box. Also we sacrifice hp as well as not having a sidearm to effectively kill. So why should not be able to use them?

I've seen cloaked commandos already and it's awesome.

Henrietta Unknown Sooper Speshul Ponee Fors Dropsuit Samurai 94	Posted - 2014.04.04 00:13:00 - [18] - Quote Honestly, I wouldn't favor logis just this once. After all, they should have their bigger/scarier bros (heavies/scouts) cover them as they do their thing. I can already fit a cloak on my Amarr Basic Logi and an uplink. I have to give up most of my slots though due to CPU/PG. They already can, but they'll need to sacrifice much, so it is not worthwhile. I feel it's pretty balanced thus far.

Yeah I don't buy that. If your Boots on Ground your a shoot'n man. Granted the tankiness of plates makes little sense, but thats an issue with the plates. Its because of the value of support that a Logistics specialist needs to be able to defend himself and his comrades adequately. Support role =/= noncombat The most OP weapon on the Dust Battle Field: One good logi, one rep tool, and a heavy.
