This was the case before 1.7 I believe and the whole reason the extra tank was nerfed was to stop people using their logi's as assaults, it's a trade off that is needed to bring balance to the classes otherwise it will be logi 514 all over again, extra speed is definitely a better idea.

That was true. I was using my minmatar logistic suit for verything. It was the best before 1.7

A buff to the base movement speed would be nice. You can leave sprint speed the same and keep that a scout thing. The reason I say this is because it's a pain trying to keep up with a sprinting heavy when you cannot sprint with the rep tool on them. I can almost do this with my advanced Minmitar and proto flux rep, but towards the end of their stamina they break away.

Lets look at suit dynamics:
-Heavies = More armor,less speed,less stealth
Heavies trade speed and stealth for raw power and defense.

-Scouts = Less armor,more stealth,more speed
Scouts trade defense for stealth and speed.

-Assault = More armor,more speed,less stealth
Assaults trade nothing,and gain both speed as well as tank.

-Logistics = Less armor, less speed,less stealth,less weapons
Logistics trades armor,speed,and stealth and even weapon while gaining nothing.


Does anyone else see what's wrong with this picture?

Logistics get less armor and yet are still slower than their assault counterpart.

Logistics either need better tank than their assault counterpart,or more speed.

Tank makes the most sense for a support class.

It's ridiculous to say "ok logi,go survive with less weapons/speed/tank oh and we'll need you to carry all this valuable gear,and you can expect to get killed first everytime there's a shootout."


Fix it CCP,give logis a base stat buff to tank or speed.

Oh,and before any idiots make any comments about gear having "weight",the logi suit was specifically designed to carry the equipment,it's the only one that shouldn't suffer any speed loss.

You got several things above wrong:

Logistics suits have the same scan profile as assault suits.

Logistic suits have negligibly better scan precision than assault suits.

Logistics suits have slightly less EHP, speed, and give up a side arm(except Amarr) for more CPU/PG, high/low slots, and more equipment slots.

Assaults get a marginal amount of EHP more than scouts and are worse in all other aspects.

Not saying that it isn't annoying that my fatty on a leash is constantly outrunning my logistic suit though. But you need to get your facts straight if you intend to be taken seriously.

Need Dev response regarding my QQ that the Slayer Logi was nerfed

I have a logi, you have more slots than every other kind of suit in the game, that is your advantage.

But bonus on equipments sucks, the only good bonus is on min logi, cal and amarr logi need to be in the same suit to use their bonus, gal bonus is useless due to the high recharge time of the scanners.
If i had known that scanners were so bad, i would have skilled min logi.

Fixed

I'm an assault user that's butthurt i can't carry 4 equipment.
And i didn't read your post i just wanted to sound smart so i posted stupidity.

I completely ignored the part of the OP about new modules,but i'm going to post about slots anyway.

Meee, this is a stupid thread. We all know med. frames are in need of some work. Devs have even said as much. As far as assault vs logi balance logis are in a much better place than assaults right now. They are more versatile, can stack more HP, have more WP earning opportunities, and are just all around better. Anyone running in an assault suit right now over a logi suit is a fool.

1.8 did nothing to stop people from fitting out murder logis. Infact, if you want to run a med. frame focused on killing than logi is pretty much the only way to go. I don't know why you would run med. if you are a killer at this point though since scouts and heavies are both vastly superior at in this role right now. That is a different matter all together.
