Calling people dumb really doesn't help your case either.
I have both min assault and logi. My best logi fit has around 800 eHP and nearly all proto equipment. This suit is an absolute monster when supporting your squad like you are supposed to. Drop links for heavies to spawn on, drop ammo for everyone, scan the field, and latch on to your heavies. None of these actions require you to have higher speed, regen, or hp. In fact if you as a logistics are taking high amounts of damage from direct fire, you're doing it wrong. You job is to support.
The assault on the other hand has to get in there and engage the enemy. This means dealing with hmg 1500 hp heavies. Dancing with shotgun scouts. Fending of other assaults. Assaults need high speed, hp and regen to do these things with minimal eWar or logistic support. That is their role.
The logi is currently a very important role in PC as much so as heavies and scouts. A single logi can make 2 heavies seem like 4. Point is, this tells me that the role is in a good place and is balanced currently.
Logis don't need to be buffed.
After charlie logistics will be unfairly gimped for the costs.
The only reason logistics are in PCs is because scouts can't use equipment better,otherwise there would be 0 logistics in PCs.
logistics is in PCs because of it's bonuses,not it's survival rate.
For example... Have you seen any Cal logistics in PCs? I haven't.
It's either min for reps or amarr for uplinks.
There is nothing balanced about low eHP and low speed with easily 250k isk costs,and 2x the Sp investment.
Also,any fulltime logistics would know that you are shot at first as soon as they see you are repping.Not second,not third,first.
Enemies will shoot pass your ally to kill you.Scouts will make kamikaze charges that you could survive if you could dodge faster and regen better.
Not to mention pot shots from a RR from that speck on the ridge halfway across the map only tapping you to prevent your shields from recharging. All because he zoomed in and saw 'logistics' on his targeting information (which should be removed IMHO).
Regen would help during those times.
