The Reload bonus on Caldari Assault is worse.

Hey, now. Hives almost give reasonable WP amounts when placed near an objective and stuff. Plus, having ammo for the shooty shooty is nice. But yeah, it is lackluster for a bonus.
If you want a useless bonuses, look at the Caldari assault. Although apparently, if CCP Rat is to be trusted, there is much resistance to changing its bonus.

^cal assault bonus isn't too bad it just needs something else on top of it - and the majority want a kick reduction for the cal assault.
As far as cal logi goes if they had another equipment slot they could carry ammo, uplinks, injectors and a rep tool. The cal logi bonus can be quite nice but its ultimately situational and it's put on a suit that has a *lot* of problems (CPU/pg & slots).

Obviously have never stepped into a proper Cal Logi's nanohive.
The problem isn't with the bonus... It's with Equipment in general.
They lowered the health values of equipment to all one static value and turned them into a 1 flux all vanish scenario.
Caldari Nanohives should be rocking 400 health. And take some time to remove from the field... Not a bullet or two.
A proper Caldari Logi Nanohive can completely change the way you defend or assault an objective..
But with how wet paper bag and expendable equipment has turned into... Has nerfed the suit. Nothing else. |

Shield regulators in general need to be looked at.
There was a time where everyone had these fitted on their shield suits.
Now it makes more sense to brick tank then specialize your tank... That needs addressing for the balance between shield and armor.
Maybe a shield suit get's a bonus to the efficacy of Shield regulators? Armor suits are getting a natural Health regen built in these days for the counter? |

Major problems with Caldari Logi is it was nerfed back when it was a slayer logi. We need to free up some of the CPU back and maybe look at what was wrong with the extender bonus with the new meta. The game has evolved so much since the days of the slayer logi and it still is in CCP Jail from the old gameplay. With scrambler riffles being so devastating to shields and the buffed AR we should revisit some Cal Logi love.
Seriously, leave the Cal Assault out of this cause the assault bonus is FINE.

Seriously, leave the Cal Assault out of this cause the assault bonus is FINE. A lot of people were wanting two bonuses for assaults, keep the current ones and add more effective ones for cal/ gal. Give Amarr/Min less effective ones but keep their current ones as well. Cal would be reload,charge. gal hipfire, etc.

Stay on topic and leave the assault bonus out.
http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/07/logistics-dropsuit-changes-in-uprising-1.3/ ^^ BTW Here was the Caldari Logi CPU Nerf from back in 1.3.
I think they put the bonus to Regulators was to keep people from stacking armor and shields to make a brick tank suit. Tell ya what the Cal logi dies so easy it might need a ninja look and love for the echo changes.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of bonus to nano hive health a flat 400HP bonus to all hives. Hell if you could even put in a resistance to some flux damage that would be interesting as well. We should invest some energy in examining a good balance with this in mind.

Funny you mention that, given that the Caldari Race created the Nanohive which doesn't even benefit themselves.

I like the cal logi. I use it to slay rather than a logi. Just wish it had a side weapon.

Quite obviously you know nohing, have no experience in using advanced + nanohives and callogi, and haven't put any thought into this post.
Since when would portable ammo supplies and portable medic boxes that you could farm war points from be useless?
With advanced an up, everyone benefits from it.
The only thing wrong about the callogi is how most damage profiles viciously shred through shields, how the callogi's cpu/pg is gimped, and how this bandwidth update in some aspects make logistics suits that use deployable inefficient.
Incompetence is not being able to stop a weapon from being omni-range effective, give it proper recoil or dispersion.

Yeah, I have problems with survivability with the Cal Logi. With the new meta I'll be trying a Ewar version of the Caldari logi if I have a few heavies to hide behind.
You can make a OK slayer fit with it but when the assault buff came out there is really no point unless you want to carry 3 compact hives around for micro rep. The double proto rep hives is just a gimic when you armor stack. Your stuck to one spot and can easy be killed by a player whom been playing for more then a months time.
Who doesn't agree the Cal Logi needs some love?

people are making the same mistake i was making. you are trying to maximise your suit towards 1 piece of equipment due to the bonus then trying for as much ehp as possible which leaves your suit weak. fit normally with repair tool, needle, links and the best hive you can fit and you will be able to tank/kill and be a logi more effectively than you ever could with 3 or 4 hives
its hard to break away from brick tank and maximising the bonus effect but when you do it you realise carrying all that equipment was just dragging you down and leaving you weak. i have realised recently its speed and not huge ehp thats a logis best friend.

I don't run mine like that, I run it with shield tank hive green bottle, reptool and needle as the CCP lords intended. It's still lacking and doesn't scale well from Standard to Proto.

If Cal was armor tanked (or repping hives helped shields) then it's bonus would be much better.
As it is now, it's kind of a joke of a bonus. Marginal at best compared to the other much more useful role-defining bonuses of the other logis.

The Cal Logi is arguably in the worst spot amongst the class primarily due to the CPU / PG levels at even the proto tier, speed, survivabilty, and equipment slot layout.
You can run also into some real issues with a slow footed shield tanker like this...most folks will brick tank which further highlights the speed issues. It's pretty common for me to have a very difficult time staying up with speed tank heavies (or even non-speed tank) and the hp benefits are good but certainly not enough to really protect you in a serious firefight.
The slot progression is also pretty tough with 3x equipment slots at proto tier. You definetly run a disadvantage in raw logi capacity against the Gal / Min logi suits and versatility against the Amarr (legit AV fits due to the sidearm slot, etc...).
My basic recommendation for the suit is to increase the CPU buy roughly an ADV CPU mod worth since that's what you usually have to run in the 4th low slot anyway. This allows for high end equipment, some decent tank, and either a stamina or speed mod. Either a side arm or a fourth equipment slot needs to be added - I can work with either option but we definetly need one of the two. My personal preference is a 4th equipment slot.
I do recommend that the high / low slots be normalized by weight class and race though since it would make things a bit easier to work with from a balance stand point. I also think it should have an eHP buff (perhaps in the form of damage resists) and a mild speed or stamina increase to the base suit stats.
As for the role / racial bonus...the Role bonus for lowering equipment CPU / PG cost is fine and i think we can hang on to that. The Racial bonus simply needs to be expanded to more than once piece of equipment.
Possible Racial Bonus Options: 1) Give all Logis some form of repper bonus (either range or intensity) plus current racial bonus. Adjust Min Logi racial bonus to RE related buff.
2) Give a bonus to 2x pieces of equipment that generally follows racial / lore themes and balances passive & active BW equipment. - Cal gets hive & scanner range bonus - Gal gets scan & hive bonus - Amarr gets uplink and rep tool bonus - Min gets Rep tool and Uplink bonus
I tend to like option #2 since it gives more flexibility but either on works pretty well.

I accidently deployed in my proto cal logi once & saved an entire match, love this suit! Hives created a strong bunker, needles rezing at 80% hp kept everyone on thier feet. Just had to meat shield long enough to herd those blueberries into the safe zone. After that it was like waves crashing against rocks, we cloned them without having to chase them.
I would support a buff the hive hp, or maybe the cal logi bonus including increased hive hp as well as the efficency.
