So, if the Amarr Logi has a sidearm it's an inconsistency and doesn't need to be unique among the flock like Grenade Commandos or what have you...

...but it's totally cool if the Caldari Logi has a sidearm.

That's racist.

In all seriousness though, why go through this big hoopla to convince the community that removal of the sidearm on the Amarr Logi is necessary and all that jazz just to turn around and go against that very same logic in favor of the Caldari Logistics? I mean, if you're wanting to convince people that CCP isn't showing favoritism toward Caldari you're doing a terrible job

Okay, okay, I'm sorry - I'll try not to be so sarcastic anymore, but you make it really difficult.

...but seriously, you really need to stick to one train of thought.... or at the very least, not post it in the same thread that you suggested taking the sidearm away from one of the other logistics. Disappointed in you now, Rattati

Buuuuuuut we already have a suit that does that. It's teh A-Logi!

I dunno, maybe I'm missing something. Like, having a Logistics with a sidearm isn't something new - I don't understand why the Cal Logi is a much more perfect contender when it's already one of the more powerful Logi's in the game and has been for some time. Saying that it would make sense for the current gap of a Type-II playstyle... When we already have a suit that has that... I dunno, just seems like a flawed argument.

I can't understand why we're saying that having a sidearm is this giant pipe wrench in balance (and I even agreed!) and then turn around and pretend it wouldn't be a problem on the Cal Logi.

No, No. Don't misunderstand. You'd have to look back over several pages of argument (discussion) to get the full picture. We are NOT saying remove the sidearm from the A-Logi.

A quick summary to catch you up.

Ratti said he was taking the A-Logi sidearm away.
Community LOST their minds (at least I did)
Community pointed out that the Amarr bonus sucks compared to the Active bonuses of the Min (repper) and Gal (Scanner) and that in order to utilize the Amarr bonus (links) the Amarr needed to be a reasonable fighter. (There were plenty of other arguments, but this is what spawned the Cal Logi discussion)
Then it was pointed out that the Cal Logi also had a passive logi bonus (hives) thus a similar logi style to the Amarr, thus should actually get a sidearm.
Logi Community agrees
And there was much rejoicing!

... Possibly moving Codebreakers to High slot.

I'd kinda be ok with that IF you had to use two different types of grenade. Anything enabling further Core Locus spam is not what this game needs. Sleeks and Contacts desparetly need to be better, though, and by better, I mean they need to give us some reason to use them other than the lulz.

how about restoring the Sever, Raven, Valor to Chromo colour schemes and also restoring the 'Neo' Logistics C-1 to the crazy all yellow suit? cos lets face it that was pretty awesome
Also how's about bringing back the old AUR suits from closed beta too cos there were some pretty nice looking ones back in the day
