 Because Dust is presented as an "fps" when it's arguably not really one primarily,... and because there are always players dashing around shooting in wild addiction and not able to watch the overview map, many will argue my opinion that LOGI isn't just what "helped" your squad win that last match... logi "WON" that match for you squad, as well as the match just before this one, and at least 7 other matches earlier today!
A gun in the hands of a really advanced player will do a lot of damage in Dust. But a piece of logi equipment in the hands of even a bright sophomore player is likely to give the enemy a really hard time trying to win this match.
So here's my "whoa, WHAT, Celesta?!" statement:
Because they are so pivotal and useful in "winning", tanking troops that would normally be defeated, and controlling map-access to a degree that the enemy can't effectively shut off,... logi equipment SHOULD be disturbingly more expensive than the other grunt weaponry.
A dropship is gamepiece that is far more potent than 95% of players seem to realize. I've accompanied good (I mean the ACTUAL good) DS players who, with very little help, owned match after match after match with just two transport dropships opening the Nulls for our team, and closing them from the other team trying to get to them.
....But the simple fact that DS is so difficult to do well, and so long to build-SP into prevents dropships from sabotaging every darn match and poisoning the game.
I hope keeping logi gear and skills on a high stiff price-range is what's keeping EVERY match from being plagued with uplink measles, nanohive hooka-pipe dens, nanohive vampirism at the Supply Depots, and having your sneak-attempts revealed to the enemy because there were 4 "logis" running along behind you wanting to be the first to get repper-points off your fat suit. "No, go back-- I'm not hurt; get off me---YOU ARE GOING TO GET US KILLED, will you leave me alone, please?!!!"
So I don't really want the logi gear pricing to fall in line with the rest of the market stock. If it's a stiffly-higher cost than a good adv gun,... good. If the costs of the gun market goes up, I hope the logi costs go up too.
I prefer the price to frighten players from doing "casual" logi work, and reserve the work for those who will pay the extra cost because they want to be LOGI devotees.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
