I am a minmatar logi. I love it, and I will probably never branch out.
If there are changes to be made, I would like to include the following.
Please remove, with refund, my light weapon slot. Replace it with a single sidearm slot.
I feel this would be more challenging (rewarding) and cheaper/lighter
(I suppose, never reviewed sidearm cost enough to remember).
I am called a slayer logi, although I have never dedicated a fit to this role (O.K. I tried it, but didn't like it).
Also, don't listen to the Amarr logi, you are not their slave. If they are to be combat oriented, they should have more health,
not a means to (safely) play an AV role (Swarm/MagSec). Let them be the only logi with a light weapon (no sidearm) slot, and have the rest of the logis fitted with sidearms.
I think this would be fun, give more weight to the assault preference, and make the Amarr scream!
They will cry for sure, which is great, just be sure to give all involved a SP refund for these changes.

A supportive weapon; this does not exist in Dust. If it did, (let's just say it does) it would be held by every merc on the battlefield as they would be supporting their team by getting kills/dealing damage. So now, damage is a support function. Everyone is supporting the team, and the supporters of supporters need a new name...
In theory, a supportive weapon would not be fatal. It would be supportive because it helps the team to finish the job with their weapons. It could scan, track, slow, blind, or cause any other type of debilitating effect. The scanner is currently the closest thing we have to a supportive weapon. I guess we could call the rep tool a rep gun as well.
The Amarr logi is too offensive, as it can fill both anti-infantry and AV roles well. Roles that should be fitted with less equipment available. This support suit also holds a significant combat advantage in 1 on 1 vs. all other support suits.
Now, I realize that the sidearm is/was probably the single greatest determinant is selecting the Amarr logi path. The current bonuses to this suit would also suggest that without the sidearm, the suit would be rarely seen on the battlefield.
I say call it what it is. Leave it as a combat suit, and remove the bonus to equipment weight. If this does not work, and they call for the support bonus back, they have to trade in their combat bonus (the additional weapon slot). Either way, people chose this suit while looking for the best. We will know we are on track to a balance by the level of opposing, and non-constructive feedback. Please reply with what tradeoffs you have (are willing) to sacrifice in order to maintain both, combat and support roles, in a single suit.
