Doesn't happen often.

So I defer to actual logis on the matter.

Basic frames are supposed to be the generalist that people go to who want versatility and not specialization. Basic frames could logi and assault, but not nearly as well as those specialized at it (lacking slots and rifle skills to be best assault as well as lacking fitting bonuses and more equipment slots to be best logi).

Also I am a logi on my main account Velvet Overkill; baseless accusations of someone not being an actual logi really doesn't help your argument or make this thread go in the right direction.

I said *I* am a logi tourist.

Never said a damn thing about you. Put your pants back on.

I simply dispute the need for assaults to lose a slot

Wtf I'm dreaming or you wanna need the assault?

At the all levels assault is one of the most balanced thing in this game.
Assaults have the correct slots pg cpu and ehp, but aren't OP.
And the slot progression in really good as it's at the moment.
If the slot progression was +1, what would be the significance to use a proto suit instead of an advanced?
You paid 3x more just for 1 mod? LOL.

There are some changes which must be done, I agree with you, but need the assault is just the worst thing to do.

1) increase commando speed
2) biff the logi slot progression (as you said for the gallogi)

Commando are not up because of assaults. There are up because of the heavy,because it's hardly the same speed, the same scan, but less hp and not the HMG slot.
Don't forget comma do have a dps increasing bonus and 2 lights weapons (!) so that's normal and logical assault have more slots and a better slot progression.

Heavy : the HMG and a resistance bonus
Commando : 2 light weapon and dps increasing bonus
Scouts : cloak and scan
Logi : support support support => slots
Assault : weapons fitting bonus and bog slot progression

I like all your idea (about the logi type I and II, the medium frame which has 2 equipment instead of 1) but for me the current slot progression (except for basic logi) is quite good for all of the dropsuit in this game. My opinion.

We did wait to see the assault become back good (don't forget how it was between 1.8 and hotfix Charlie) and now it's a really good and balanced suit. Even between the STA - ADV - PRO slot progression.

The-Errorist 1049	Posted - 2015.02.16 00:05:00 - [1] - Quote The to fix these glaring problems and more: Basic medium frames serving no purpose Basic medium frames having the wrong slot layouts Amr Logi having a Minmatar slot layout at STD & ADV Gal Logi having a total of 2 high/low slots when the gal assault has 4 Cal logi total progression being 7->9->14 Amr Logi sacrificing twice for it's sidearm Adv & Pro Commandos being outclassed by assaults of the same tier These changes which I have outlined in my spreadsheet should be done: Basic medium frames and logistics should follow the standardized dropsuit module slot progression like everything else. Give basic medium frames +1 equipment slot for -1 module slot and more PG/CPU, which would go towards making all basic frames in-between specializations Split logistics into two types: type I & II Logistics; one without a sidearm and one that pays for it with 1 module slot. 1 module slot progression for medium frames like every other frame size.

Assaults are remarkably good with 8 slots and if fatties get toned down a bit, will be competitive. I like the current assault power and I don't run assault. I'm just honestly hoping for an alternative to the HMG that I can use that won't have the godawful DPS at edge of my wang range. AV

Logis are UP, commandos are just sh*t, sents still need toning down, and scouts aren't the scourge of the field but they're still fking deadly. Honestly the HMG seems to be the only outlier, and the lack of strafing inertia. Given your average shooter, 90% of players usually gravitate to the line killer roles when the roles are balanced. Also people are buying assaults in preparation for the inevitable fatty nerf hammer AV

Even between the STA - ADV - PRO slot progression. In case you haven't noticed, all light frames and heavies pay the same price for 1 more slot per tier and more PG/CPU. It doesn't really make sense for assaults to have 2 slots per tier. Commandos are UP for many reasons and this is just one of those reasons: the slot discrepancy gets bigger at every tier and by prototype, an assault can have more speed, damage, regen, and scan stats than a prototype commando.

Vulpes Dolosus molon labe. General Tso's Alliance 2998	Posted - 2015.02.18 19:04:00 - [19] - Quote Why bother with a sidearm Logi if you're also trying to give the assault/commando a unique role? That would just blur the line between them. I would also suggest a 3/4/4 equipment progression for logistics, making ADV suits more viable as logistics. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~
Killer's Coys Prima Gallicus 248	Posted - 2015.02.19 11:33:00 - [20] - Quote Commando have 2 lights Heavy have heavy weapons Scout have cloak Logi and assault have modules. That's how I see it. And if we take the same way, what would be the slot layout (for example) for the gallente assault? Sta 1/3 Adv 2/3 Pro 2/4? So the scout would come back better than assault. Because they have the same spot layout, but scout has more pg/cpu, the scan advantage, the cloak and of course the hitbox and the mobility. So increase assault? Pro : 3/5 Adv 3/4 Sta 2/4? It would make the basic and Adv assault OP. So no. So.... Which way? Ok you wanna balance the slot layout progression, but as you see, in each way it would break the assault back. Assault is a very well-balanced class, don't change it. (same for logi, except for the Sta) I'm sorry for my bad English writting and comprehension.
