iBrohan Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2012.08.25 05:32:00 - [1] - Quote Perhaps I've romanticized my ideas of being a hardcore Logistics player. Ive got prototype repair tools and nanite injectors and am working on my drop suits now. Regardless of the scoreboard, I always feel like I've contributed a lot. However, I began to notice the cost comparisons between the other suit classes and it's quite discouraging to me. I'll pay a hefty amount of isk to stay fitted to heal and revive everyone but the price is crazy. 225k~ for the prototype drop suit? Even if I manage to obtain new items from my newly leveled skill points, there's no way I could afford to fit what really counts plus the other extra stuff. There's assaults and scouts that are running standard everything or higher, calling tanks, doing a good job of laying waste and earn all that back plus major profit. I don't want to be the player on the top of the boards all the time. But for those that are, they are constantly achieving that with their new fits. I want to bring all my new stuff to my team but I'll be broke within a couple of days doing that. What do you all think? Perhaps I'm whining or exaggerating.

It was a 0 ISK cost for you had a revive at your side. You will cost more as logi for you will be the best asset for your team, the best cost the most its that simple. Your team will keep you up. Proto logi has so much to work with, I used in last build and had a good time. And with the new shield mod even more so. After I work up heavy more Logi is next I had a hard time understanding what you were trying to say. Had to re-read your post a few times. My point is this, I don't see the personal incentive of being a logistics. The war points earned through the various heals and revives don't seem to stand up against other classes. I wouldn't mind the cost if I noticed the amount of SP I earned was substantially higher. I wouldn't want to use my proto stuff if the team was bad but you can still go into a match and still earn a lot of SP and isk just running and gunning with your prototype assault scout or heavy and do well all by yourself. As a Logi, I don't expect or see myself to be doing all that.

People who die are usually out of my range of survivability. I can heal people constantly from 31.5 meters so I do my best to stay out of firefights unless they need extra suppressive fire.
