Also while on the subject, I think a deployable shield generator would be pretty cool. Think a dome forcefield that protects equipment and mercs when no cover is available. 400 or so health, 20hp/s recharge, 20 second depleted recharge delay.

Don't make it the same tool!!

I'm not a logi, but i do have proto tools... I've thought about it honestly... And why not separate the tools.

I don't think coding and clientside updates are that big of an issue. We have had clientside updates recently, we had new stuff which had to be coded first, Rattati talked about adding a new gamemode in the next clientside update, and even something something AI drones on training maps.

It's true but also kinda sad and stupid. The goal should be to be useful to the team and help win matches by doing logi stuff, not just generate WPs for OBs.

It's the same reason why it seems few people use scanners in pubmatches even though they are probably the most useful equipment for supporting your team in fights.

(Also, I honestly think that the triage WP generation needs to get toned down a bit. Just my 0.02 ISK.)

Generating WPs with the kind of shield tool I proposed also is an issue that can be solved by coding. Just make it so you get triage points for each shield regen pulse done on the suit you are repping and we are good to go when it comes to generating WPs.

Sure, it might take a bit longer to make this kind of tool and there are issues to solve, but I'm willing to wait if at the end we get something that is new instead of a reskinned reptool for shields.

Otherwise we might as well just make new reptool variants that regen shields instead of armor, or even reptools variants that regen shields AND repair armor (at a reduced rate of course). Less exciting but it'll do, I guess.

Bump cause i dont want to make another thread about this. And because shields vs armor is still imbalanced and the cal. logi is useless.

2X core focused reptool= 312HP/s armor repaired when used on a minlogi. So the amarr sentinel has 1344HP AND regens with more then you claimed. So how is my idea again "OP" when the sentinel in question that you posted has only 612HP on shields which is less then 50% of the amarr sentinels armor. Point proven that you want this to be a armor exclusive thing. Any further discussion with you is pointless cause all your arguments are invalid.

Really?

Present your evidence.

Sounds interesting enough for me so i bite. Just let it bring up your wrist interface (like with a cloak field) and once you activate it it generates a field around that logi (nanohive effects any one?) and restores shields on yourself and any 1 whos close to you as long you are holding the wrist interface up. When you drop it/energy runs out (same like with cloaks) the field deactivates. That way you could regen shields of even more then 2 guys at once for a limited amount of time. It would make a great assaulting tool.

Edit: give the cal logi then a bonus for duration and cooldown time instead of the silly nanohive bonus.

Aaaand the Limbus lives on as the best example why, from the "it'll be OP" perspective, shield repping is a bad idea. Theres a reason they were removed, and it wasn't for being UP or ineffective.

These ideas are all theorycrafting fun-n-games till they become invincible walls of heavies pushing forward.

CalLogi hive bonus is awesome .

Thats why i didnt specced into Cal.Logis cause of the obvious nerf hammer that was about to hit them. So again the Cal.Logi has no purpose. It even got worse since every 1 and their mother can carry 6 compact hives.
