We need aswell reptool variants that can restore shields.

No... I'm a hybrid tanker of all types (shield/speed primarily), as well as a repper (not necessarily a logi) and I know that this is just a ridiculous idea. Unless you mean a rep tool that gives up a little bit of it's armour rep capability for a little bit of shield recharge, the answer is no.

As for the rest of the thread, i only disagree with the parts about the depleted shield recharge penalty. And I need some clarification on what the last point of the OP was.

Sorry if i didnt explained exactly what ive wanted. I want a reptool which only recharges shields, no armor rep.

I'm fairly certain that very few Logis would specialise to that degree, it is a near waste of an equipment slot for little payout. A hybrid rep tool would see more use, and still accomplish the goal of getting logi support to shield tankers.

Edit: It can be mostly shield recharge if you like, but it is still kind of ridiculous to only recharge shields, sorry.

Edit Part 2: I just read a post about balancing such a tool, and I am now convinced that it would be okay to have an only shield version. But I would like a hybrid version to be available, with less reps and recharge or however it would be balanced (undoubtably a higher PG/CPU cost).

Your Logi Bro 501st would very much love to carry a Shield Repair Tool, as would any true Logi who reps to save the team, not just for points. Just my say in the Galactic Senate and all...

Your Logi Bro 501st would very much love to carry a Shield Repair Tool, as would any true Logi who reps to save the team, not just for points. Just my say in the Galactic Senate and all... Perhaps my issue lies with the loose organisation of most of the squads I'm in, where even the 1st general rule of squads (to stay near each other) is rarely followed. I tend to have to run across multiple fire-lines and about 50 m just to help more than one person. Many times I get their just in time for someone else to pick-up a rep-tool and help out. That would have been great before I left the other guy with our reps... Like I said, I'm fine with the recharge tool. But, I personally would like a hybrid tool as well, which is less efficient for each individual type, more costly in PG/CPU and doesn't work on vehicles or installations.
