There are so many threads floating around with so many replies I felt like I wanted to put this proposal on itGÇÖs own so I could get feedback (and discussion!) on it.

Problem: Medium frames suck because Scouts can do their job just as well in addition to being scouts.

Solution: Moar bonuses. IGÇÖll stick to logistics bonuses because thatGÇÖs what I know best. (For assaults the Amarr bonus is obviously the gold standard so that should be the model for the other races.)

Currently the logistics equipment bonuses are as follows:

All: 5% fitting reduction to equipment

Racial bonuses:
- Caldari: +10% to nanohive max. nanites and +5% to supply rate and repair amount per level.
- Gallente: +10% to active scanner visibility duration and +5% to active scanner precision per level.
- Minmatar: +10% to repair tool range and 5% to repair amount per level.
- Amarr: 10% reduction to drop uplink spawn time and +2 to max spawn count per level.

No need to do anything with the fitting bonus for now. For equipment, I propose the following:

Primary racial bonuses: No change.

Secondary racial bonuses (new GÇô all per level):
- 3% to nanites and 1.5% to supply rate
- 3% to scanner duration. 1.5% to precision
- 3% to rep tool range, 1.5% to repair amount
- 3% to uplink spawn time, andGǪ 0.4 max spawn count? (that oneGÇÖs tricky!)


Naturally this would not stack with the primary bonus, so the min logi would not be getting itGÇÖs 10% plus another 3%. It would just get the 10%, and look like this:

Primary bonus: +10% to repair tool range and 5% to repair amount per level

Secondary bonuses:
- 3% to nanites and 1.5% to supply rate
- 3% to scanner duration. 1.5% to precision
- 3% to uplink spawn time, and 0.4 max spawn count




This now gives logiGÇÖs a definite advantage over scouts when it comes to support roles, but does not really infringe on the other logi suits because the bonus is so much smaller. Rep tool on a Min logi will still be amazing, and much better than it would be on a Gal logi. But, it will be better on a Gal logi than it will on a Gal scout.

Thoughts?

I definitely agree with that concept, but I proposed 1/3 in order to allay concerns that the logi suits will lose their individuality if we equalize the bonuses too much.
