To begin, I'm an avid Logistics player. I have been using Logistics ever since the start of the previous build - so I'm not talking out of my arse when I raise my point here.
With the buff to Logistics making them on par with Assault Drop-suits defensively, not to mention the +10% Hacking bonus; I'm sort of curious if they may be a tad too diverse. Here's why.
Three equipment slots, two lows, two highs - all with the less than detrimental sacrifice of a slight bit of speed and a sidearm slot. However, you can still carry any main weapon ranging from shotguns, assault rifles, etc. Having the same fitting restrictions as the Assault Suit with an additional two equipment slots makes this thing a beast on the battlefield - able to react to any situation and apply a wide range of squad/team support equipment.
The Type-II Logistics suit sacrifices an equipment slot for speed comparable to an assault suit, so with a Basic Kinetic Catalyzer you have a suit that can clock similar sprint speeds as a Scout suit and have a bonus to hacking; and that's without the new Codebreaker module. With one of those you could land a +35% bonus to hacking speed, and more diverse fitting options than the Assault Suit.
To that end, with the Codebreaker module being a low-powered slot (rather than a high) a Scout suit -could- field it and technically have better speed, but it would be detrimental to the Scout suit's main defense.
Two equipment slots on that one and you can fit a Drop-uplink and whatever other module you see fit. That sort of capability, plus it's speed and defensive capability, allows it to outrank the Scout suit in mobile objective-based operations by a long shot due to defensive stature alone.
The point is here that the new Logistics may be slightly -too- much more versatile than the Assault Suit/Scout Suit, making them rather redundant by comparison.
So, perhaps the 10% hacking bonus should have been applied to the Scout suit for more emphasis on fast, mobile hacking mentality at the expense of equipment/defense ranges?
Perhaps the Codebreaker module should have been an Equipment item, rather than a Low-powered module?
Perhaps they should be restricted to a sidearm slot - focusing them more on their support role?
Please discuss. |

Actually the strong point of the Logi Suit is its versatility.
I dunno about it being too Squishy... I roll with Armor Plates/Armor Repairer and a K17D Nanohive - so I can't comment on that.. |

Actually the strong point of the Logi Suit is its versatility. They used to be squishy and useless. But the point the OP is making that they have become too diverse and now are good at the jobs assault suits should be doing.
As well as Scout suits. Don't forget that bit. |

Suppose I'm just a special case then with my Light Weapon Upgrade Proficiency 4, Electronics 5, and Engineering 5 >_>;;; |
