Preface:more eHP = less speed and regen (see modules) Heavies are slow with low regen. Scouts are fast with high regen. Assaults are fast with high regen and eHP. Logistics is slow with low regen and eHP.
As all tanking modules show,you sacrifice speed for armor,and regen for more shields.
So based on these built in rules,i'm officially requesting a swap: -swap assault speed,stamina regen,stamina amount,shield regen amount with logistics
The eHP scale would then be: Heavies -killing Assaults-killing Basic mediums-either Logistics-support Lights-support(?)
But the speed scale would then be: Lights-support(?) Logistics-support Basic mediums-either Assaults-killing Heavies -killing
And as killer bees have proven,speed doesn't make you the best killer eHP does.
Min logistics would have the fastest speed of the mediums,and seeing as it has only base 240 combined health it makes sense. And it will help dramatically when using a rep tool,which leaves them defenseless.
Inb4 unreasonable Assaults

Imho it would be more balanced than the eHP speed scale we have currently.
For eHP: Heavies Assaults Basic Logistics Light
For speed: Light Assaults Basic Logistics Heavies
Logistics is in the bottom 2 of both current lists. And assaults are in the top 2,this is very lopsided.

We don't want the return of the killer bees because people felt sorry for the class (Look at scouts that have 2 weapons and wall hacks as a perfect example) Baby steps. The problem with leaving assaults fast is it breaks the speed eHP rules that have been firmly established.
During the days when logistics ruled the killing scene their speed was the same as is today. Assaults now get an extra 160 eHP,and logistics 8 slots. Logistics is still slow with less eHP and 8 slots.
This would be balanced,support has speed and evasion,killing has durability and killing power.
If this happens logistics will still have less eHP than a basic,with only 1 weapon in 3/4ths of logistics cases. Scouts can easily kill them,and etc.
It is impossible for killer bees ever again. Don't compare logistics and scouts,scouts get wallhacks and can keep both weapons. This would only make logistics have the stats it should have had all along.

Logistics must stack eHP because everything else they have is terrible,yet the new assaults can do as they please.
Heavies must choose,scouts (to a degree) must choose.
Every suit but assault must choose.
Assaults stamina being high and speed with greater amount of shield regen,having 8 slots and more than 400 eHP before modules is horrendously broken.
Swap all the things i've mentioned in the OP because: -Assaults shouldn't have everything -Logistics shouldn't have nothing
It creates a choice,assault for durability and fighting. Or logistics for support and evasion.

All of it has to be swapped.
eHP has a cost and that cost is shield regen,speed,stamina,stamina regen.
It's time for assaults to pay up.
Logistics has low eHP,which means it should be rewarded with better shield regen,speed,stamina,stamina regen.
Currently these two suits break all the rules everything else in the game says should be happening with them.
Inb4 more unreasonable assaults

Lol,logis actually have less at ADV and basic.
"Nerfed into support?" At 2x the cost?

Nerfed back? No Balanced out? Yes
Logistics has the lowest eHP of all mediums,which means it should be better than any other at running and regen (see scouts).
Assaults have the highest eHP now,which means it should be slower than any other medium at running and regen (see heavies and see modules).
But the reality is...logistics having the lowest eHP are the slowest with lower regen. Assaults having the highest are the fastest with higher regen.
"Slayer logis" weren't "slayers" because they could outrun assaults,they were "slayers" because they could have more eHP with so many module slots.
Now,modules are equal (at Pro) and assaults get a 160 eHP head start.
A logi will never be able to out tank an assault ever again. (Shut up,i know they shouldn't be able to anyway)
With this in mind,assaults shouldn't be able to move that fast with that much armor. (See scouts with 500 shields/armor)
This would force both logistics and assaults into choices. Logistics would become fortify my regen and speed (my specialisation),or my eHP and lose to assaults. Assaults would become fortify my eHP (my specialisation),or my regen and speed and lose to logistics.
Currently it's: Logistics-Stack eHP because i can't run away. Assaults-Lol whatever i'm great at everything.

Not saying I agree or disagree with you, but they are some important facts to consider. Important facts you haven't considered. 1)It cost easily 2x as much to run a gimped logistics as it does a super powered assault. 2)It's designed to be a specialist,logistics is the equipment specialist with 0 specialist stats Assaults are the killing specialist with 0 drawbacks.(all the specialist stats)
3)Sp investment is more than an assault 4)logistics is always the first targeted,yet no one wants them to have any advantage in regards to survival 5)Dust isn't supposed to be COD,there's supposed to be an actual need and desire for support to succeed,not be cannon fodder because they are support. 6)Assaults are,by SP standards,low rank. It cost much less Sp to skill assault and gear than it does logistics,gear and equipment,only to be treated as a lesser member of Dust for all that dedication. 7)Logistics is slow with nearly scout level eHP,if scouts were slowed to mimic logistics the QQ would be endless,yet it's ok for logistics because logistics is support. Yet scouts were recently given an extra equipment slot which means they're suppot too. 8)Currently Cal logistics has two equipment at basic,just like scouts,but unlike scouts it costs the logistics:1 weapon,shields armor,speed and stamina/stamina regen. MOST IMPORTANTLY : 9)The hypocrisy surrounding logistics "need" to stay gimped: -It used to be "because of the 8 slots" With assaults,CCP themselves proved that was a lie,8 slots,extra 160 eHP,no loss of speed.Logistics gets the shaft. -"It's because of equipment" Scouts proved that was a lie,2 equipment (same as a basic Cal logistics),they keep all weapons and all speed and are equal with their basic frames in eHP.Logistics once again gets the shaft.
Anything defending logistics currently gimped state is either an excuse,or an outright lie.

Allow me to reference EVE to prove my point.
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Ships:Cruisers:Advanced_Cruisers:Logistics
Strengths:
Low Signature T2 Resistances Strong Force Multiplier Remote Repair does not cause aggression High sustained tank. Paired Guardians can tank up to 2000 dps Hard to hit with Battleship sized guns and even Medium Drones
Weaknesses:
ECM, especially Basilisks and Guardians that depend on Cap Transfers Energy Neutralizers Huge Damage spikes. Logistics rarely have more than 30k-40k effective hp Cruiser sized guns can hit logistics Webifiers
According to EVE,logistics should be hard to hit and evasive (speed and scanner wise) as well as have damage resistance. Low eHP, that are beaten by scouts.
Let's compare and see the similarities. Logistics has low eHP, and are easily killed by scouts.
That's it,0 evasion (speed and scanner wise) and 0 damage resistance.
By the rules of the game that spawned this one,logistics is broken.

gustavo acosta wrote:It's not like the assaults did anything against logis amarite? The reasons assaults are currently good as you described( good as in relative to how they were) is because they're supposed to be the #1 killing suit, as in if you want to slay assault will be your best pick(or it's supposed to be).
I'm all for giving logistics a buff to anything that is within reason, but currently scouts and assaults are on par with each other in terms of being slayers, but that shouldn't be because assaults are made specifically for killing. If scouts were more positioned into carrying out their role, then maybe an assault nerf would be in order, however currently that is not the case >ignores all the things i've posted CCPs idea of bringing scouts in line was to let them run crazy.
Assaults shouldn't get to escape balance,just because scouts did/do.
CCP buffed KN and gave in to other scout demands,it's obviously "working as intended".

The minmatar logistics description specifically says it's exoskeleton allows it to lift equipment "effortlessly" which means it shouldn't be slower than its assault counterpart. Yet it is because "lolwhynot".
Sure it's faster than the other logistics,but that's because it's minmatar. There is 0 valid legit reason not to give logistics a built in trait to help them do their jobs.
Logistics must use equipment that removes their offence,yet don't deserve the right to run away or strafe? You all are killing Dust with your COD mentality that logistics "must remain nerfed for the health of the game",you all make me sick.
You must have an i win button against something don't you? Scouts aren't easy prey anymore so all you have left is logistics,can't let them get a buff otherwise that 240 eHP might get too hard to kill. LOL
Sidenote:I have come up with an altenative solution in https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=171586&find=unread this thread,it's near the end currently and has some supporters.

As it's designed? For pure support?
I do,and it's crazy how much better scouts are at my job.
Go use a logistics,then comeback and tell us how well it went for you.

Anything defending logistics currently gimped state is either an excuse,or an outright lie. Man you are out of control. You are actually so biased that you can't even see how ridiculous you sound. 1. It does not cost 2x to ffield a logi over an assault. My assault usually runs about 175 to 200k. A well fit logi doesn't cost 400k. That's just a lie. 2. I don't know what your getting at about specialists. Assaults have some bonuses, logis have some bonuses. Arguably logis get more net benefit at least in terms of reduced CPU and PG than assaults. 3. Sp investment is not that different and in fact it's opposite of what you say. Let's think about this logically instead of waving your hands about and making unsupported claims. What's the difference between assault and logi? Logi has 3 more equipment and assault has a sidearm. How much does it cost in sp to get 3 equipment to proto? About 2.75 million sp. How much does it cost to max one sidearm including sidearm operations? Well over 4 million sp. Now if you're amarr logi then yes you could spend more by getting a good sidearm. The point is, SP wise there really is no difference and actually weapons are a much much larger sp sink than equipment. 4. Yes obviously people target logis because you are ******* powerful. No, not at slaying but at supporting others who do slay. And your reward? How about always getting first place and getting paid more. I can't tell you the number of times I've gone 15+ and 0 and got third or fourth behind 1/4 or 5/4 logis who sat with a rep tool the whole time. 5. OK. Like I just said you're not cannon fodder, youre a powerful support unit. 6. I think we already covered this. Next time instead of making two identical false points, only make one. 7. You don't have scout level ehp and you're not that much slower than assaults. Here's a hint, fit a kin cat or stack less armor. My assaults usually don't run over 800 ehp. I saw a gal logi with like 900+ armor yesterday. And the beauty of it is he got to equip rep Nanos and scanners so that no one could even get close. This is just another muddled argument. 8. OK fine, that does suck for the basic cal logi. 9. No one is saying logis need to stay gimped. People are saying that you are over reacting and that we don't want logis to become slayers. Like I said just give them a small buff possibly just closing the eHP gap a little. Now please stop posting logi QQ every other day. You call it QQ,i call it idea generation.
CCP actually desires to profit from Dust,and by giving them lots of ideas one of them may be the million dollar money maker they are searching for.Hence this section of the forums exists.
But as i have said before,logistics doesn't need eHP,it needs speed and regeneration. Why have high eHP if you're not supposed to fight?
Fine,i'll alter my suggestion then:
Copy assaults speed,stamina regeneration,stamina amount,shield regeneration amount and give that copy to logistics.
Assaults would lose nothing still being the best at everything. Logistics would gain speed to compensate it's low eHP.
