It is worth mentioning, I only use my Caldari Logi as a grenade spammer. I find a good defensive position, lay down some hives, and proceed with Core mortar fire (Or Lai Dai AV).
I only use my Gal logi for scans. I only use my Amarr logi for links. I use my Minmatar logi for reps.

Weapon range is an extremely important factor. A 25% reduction in weapons range on a logi would stop the slayer logi FoTM.

With buffed speed, eHP, fittings, and a sidearm I'll be a part of the hoards of slayer logis. I asked myself what I would need to keep me in a proper Slayer Assault, with it's paltry reload bonus, and the answer is a disincentive to use light weapons on a logi.
I would also favor the sidearm only option if it came with some sort of buff...like dual sidearms and a sidearm range bonus. A Scrambler Pistol and a Bolt Pistol combo would be fun. I don't do that on the Assault any more because of the range handicap vs Light Weapons.

Well, Rattati was looking for a way to discourage Light Rifles. If you gimp the range on the rifiles, you would see a lot more support weapons.

Still not the way to go... I still firmly believe that Logistics should have higher regen with the HP values they currently have.
I agree about the defensive power. I just think they need an offensive tradeoff. The current Assault bonuses are passable, but the new logi slots + speed are looking pretty exciting. I could carry REs AND Nanohives...for more REs lol.

One of the original logi concepts was the trading of firepower for logistical force multiplication. The SMG was slightly OP for a while because it was imagined to be a logistics primary weapon (Similar story for a swarm launcher assault...like some other games.). These days it isn't really practical to use a sidearm as primary anti-infantry weapon, but a proper suit bonus could buff sidearm damage/range and the logi could still retain an unbuffed Light Weapon slot.
