I still don't know why Scouts have two Equipment slots. It is something that really bothers me considering that half of the Logistics in the game start with two slots. I know it was added so Scouts could all be about the Cloak but I wish there was something that made Scouts have to use Cloaks or even better have that slot only be able to fit a Cloak. Equipment should be the Logistics thing.
Equipment is really expensive, especially considering Prototype is so superior compared to Basic and Advanced. That is a potential issue and Rattati has made statements that they might look into the cost.
EHP is really not an issue. Think of it like this instead: If Logistics had an extra 150 EHP, why would you pick an Assault suit? Hell, I already run into that thought. Assaults may "have no downside" but they have zero upside. Most other suits get more than they give up for those bonuses. Assaults, not so much. Jeez, the only Assault that seems to be worth a darn is the Minmatar Assault and that is only because it gives up less than it receives; slightly less EHP and moving very, very fast. Otherwise, the only difference between a Frame and an Assault is a minor HP bonus and some lackluster bonuses to weapons.

Simple: it is more than possible to go Repair Tool + Needle/Uplink and be just as good as a Basic Amarr or Caldari Logistics. It has a little bit too much overlap. Yes, they are not able to throw out all the equipment but it still steps on the Logistics toes quite a bit. As big of a deal as it was pre-BW? No but still a concern that I have.
There are some problems with the Logistics as a role, yes, but the original poster is exaggerating some of the ones they brought up.

There are always other solutions to problems, and sometimes simply removing X from the equation isn't always the best one.
Never suggested it was the only solution. It is, however, the easiest way to make the Scouts still be able to use one other equipment without having them step on the toes of Logistics and still be all about the Cloaks. It is also not a nerf to the Equipment simply because Logistics are easily encroached by Scouts.
As an aside, because it is the natural response to the above, I would say BW was added not to make everyone worse at Equipment than the Logistics but to force people to actually be Logistics if they want to have the benefits of Equipment; IE, no Equipment Spam into being a Heavy.
