So, I don't have a ton of SP (about 1.5 million) but last night I was finally able to skill into Caldari Logistics. I love being able to help people on the battlefield and finally feel like I'm contributing. Lol, before it just felt like I was eating away at the clone reserves.
But as for the Caldari Logi skills, I feel like I'm not taking advantage of my class unless I carry nanohives. So, to all the veterans playing, which are more effective, or helpful to a team? Nanohives that give you more ammo or Nanohives that give you armor repair? I have nanocircuitry at lvl 3 right now and I'm working towards getting it to 4 but I still have about 200,000 to go.
This is my current build:
Logistics C-1
Rail Rifle
militia Shield Extender x2 militia Armor Repair
K-2 Nanohive- replenishes ammo Kin- 012 Nanite Injector- 50%
P.S. I would probably have better modules if I didn't waste so much of my sp on other crap items like Sniper rifles and the magsec. (T_T ) |

I recommend you join this channel: Learning Coalition
Anyways it's best to have both so you can be versatile, although I would recommend carrying an Ammo Nanohive and either a repair tool or Nanite Injector. But, yeah work on those modules to standard so that you have space for your equipment.

yeah, it's a lot of fun being a logi. I like it more than when I was running around as an assault. the Cal logi only has enough slots for two equipment though and I figured a nano injector is a huuuuuge item I can't go without. I got it to advanced, because I didn't want heavies pissed off at me for bringing them back with only 30 % health.
So that only leaves me with one other option. To heal, or to keep giving ammo. o_O

next step you must do is to unlock adv shields, unlock adv logi, than get to lv 5 cpu and pg, after that, unlock pro equipment, pro caldari logi, pro railgun, and after this you can either skill last bonuses you want like armor to lv5 to get more EHP
hope this help you

Just save your SP and get it to level 3. The ADV suit has an extra equipment slot!

OP, I like using one of each; these days I'm an Amarr Logistics, so I run two different uplinks and a repping hive; back when I was GalLogi, I ran a Wiyrkomi Triage Nanohive, an Ishukone Gauged Drop Uplink, and either a Quantum scanner or a rep tool, and either an Allotek Nanohive or an Ishukone Gauged Nanohive.
What I'm trying to say is that you should use both. Good choice, btw; I'm looking at my next (fifth) suit; and I'm thinking CalLogi will be it. Admittedly, I'm looking at a few months down the track, but still.
MY ACTUAL NAME IS LORHAK
It would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart...

get adv shields, but the problem is that right now there are so many cloacked scout so when you drop equipment make sure you are in a building, its more safe, if someone runs a heavy use the repair tool, you make a lot of points and that heavy will kiss your hands!

Go for shield extenders and then focus on the suits because the suits take forever to get. :/
P.S. Use Damage Mods.

Maybe the game operates differently then I think, but does 3, 4 or 5 % really add that much to your damage? (o_O)
Anyways, the topic has gone a little of track. I originally wanted to know if players wanted to see more of armor rep nanohives, or ammo supply ammo hives. Once I get 3 equipment slots I'll carry both. (^ _ ^) |

As THUNDERGROOVE mentioned, save up the SP from this event to unlock Caldari Logistics III. That way, you have 3 equipment slots, allowing you to be an all-around medic.
Triage Nanohives will only supply ammo once someone's Armor is healed, which can make it take longer for your team to get back into the battle, which bad because as a Logi, your main concern should be getting your team back into the battle as quickly as possible.
If you have a Repair Tool with you, far more effective to simply repair people as they resupply.

D- Mods: Well it depends on the module. You can't use the same Damage Module on a dropsuit. So you would need a Basic. Enhanced, and Complex (3 High module slots). 3% + 4% + 5% increase on the damage of the weapon itself. State D- Mods (like State Complex Damage Module [5%]) can be used will normal mods (Complex Damage Module) and the Aurum buyable D- Mods. So you could possibly have the following...
(5 Slots)
CRN-7 Damage Module (Aurum buyable, 5%) Complex Damage Module (Normal, 5%) State Complex Damage Module (Factional Points, 5%) '(Dumb Aurum name here)' Complex Damage Module (Aurum buyable, 5%) Enhanced Damage Module (Normal, 4%)
So that's 5% by 5% by 5% by 5% by 4%!!! Imagine if you had a Kaalakiota Rail Rifle with that... ^.^
Anyways...
Armor Repair would help a lot.

What the ****ing hell? You're completely dead wrong here about damage mods bud. Damage mods have a penalty for affecting the same type of module (ie heavy, light, sidearm) but it doesn't get extreme until 4 modules are fit. The penalty is roughly 87% effectiveness for 2nd module and 67%ish for the third.
http://wiki.dust514.info/index.php?title=Stacking_Penalties Here's how the damage mods actually work from someone who *knows what they're talking about* and it includes a handy little calculator. Damage mods are cumulative not additive and they perform really well with three fitted, though they aren't really important on a logi who should really be fitting for a bit more HP so they can survive some incidental fire while repping things (especially on the caldari logi that has practically zero low slots).
Also another link that just gives the numbers : http://dust514.wikia.com/wiki/Stacking_Penalty. 1st mod = 100%, 2nd mod = 87%, 3rd = 57%, 4th = 28% (stops being good roughly here), 5th = 10.5% (don't fit more than 4 modules with stacking penalties), 6th = 3%

Proto calogi here. Was proto amarr logi in 1.7, building my logi I got the adv suit, basic gear, and balanced my core skills. You're doing yourself a disservice by not keeping your modules and core skills in line with your suit level. Not only do you get another level of equipment fitting reduction and nanohives bonus at 3, you will have better pg and cpu all around to fit. I bring hybrid hives if I'm not sure of a situation, rep hives for a straight firefight, and ammo for casual logi work. I also have fits sit up with JUST nanohives if I have to bring all 3 for stationary positioning. Since you have picked a suit and a weapon, balance them as much as possible. Nanocircuitry 4 unlocks the k17-d which are your first hybrid hive, 20 reps+ your calogi bonus per tick, and slow but steady ammo supply with decent nanite clusters. It's very useful in tight situations.

Also... I had an adv logi for probably a year and it worked fine. The proto is nice but don't wear yourself out trying to get it, best of luck fellow Calogi!

thank you. I'm going to get to nanocircuitry 4 just for the ammo + armor rep nanohives. Then from there I'll work on shield, followed by Cal logi suit to 3. And then whatever makes sense after that (probably buffing rail rifle). |

It all depends on what type of field support you want to bring. Really you chose an SP intensive path, and on top of it a rarely seen PC logi unless you make it into assault. Anyway you want to get Nanohive/needle to LV.4-5 since the Cal logi Boost's hive healing-supply rates. Then you want to make a suit that carries ammo/healing hives, but save hives in event of a flux. Second you need to start killing into your Core skills first. I highly recommend getting dropsuit core, armor, shield, electrician, and engineering to LV 3. After that start getting your dropsuit modules. For starters get armor plates, armor repair, shield rechargers and shield extenders to LV3. After that process you can choose to either start skilling into various field equipment, finish skilling into your Core skills, or upgrading your weapon. As a logi your weapon should be your choice, but at this time DMG mods are useless unless it's a prof. 4-5 with adv or com DMG mod. Advance DMG mods work as well.

I'm planning on soecing cal logi next. Armor rep nano hives have their uses, really good for armor tanks I'm sure. I'm planning on going with the more ammo based ones first as I think those would be more useful for my squad. I'm excited to start playing around with it though. |

Ammo. We have repping modules and rep tools that we can get from others but ammo only from hives.
Because, that's why.

Just skill and play your preferred logi to its strengths.
Been logi since beta, I run minmatar.
Had a brief love affair with the Amarr logi sidearm.
Just remember that no amount of proto equipment means sht if you can't survive.
I have cqc and mid-long range set ups as well.
You will live a bit longer stacking plates and shields but you need to strike the balance between HP tank, regen and making sure that you are running the best equipment that you can.

I just started into the callogi myself, and everyone makes an excellent point; don't burn out your sp into just one area, at this level you need to have balance. I have the luxury of having cores maxed out already, as its my third proto suit option. But once you get there, take one each rep/ammo hive, and the 80 or 100 % needle. You'll be swimming in points, and still be an effective warrior. The hives let you drop and forget them, allowing you to focus on killing, or moving to another area. |
