almost without fail, I seem to be the only person playing logistics(with the nano injectors, also pack a repair tool/ammo packs, it changes between my custom and the starter pack one) on any team I get placed on. I thought medics were a good thing? I get relatively the same armament as any other soldier(assault rifle personally, may switch it up to a shotgun since I seems to find lots of close range engagements) decent shielding, decent health, and that whole "making you not die" thing to boot, so why don't more people play logistics? |

Honestly, I don't know why more people don't play logistics. I play heavy most of the time, since they have good armor and are the only ones that can use HMG's (I'm being optimistic towards the next patch), and I'm trying to get a forge gun (Those SP are hard to get when you get tank spammed). I just wish I didn't have to constantly buy HMG's because nobody ever revives. |

No, you are not the only one. There is a whole community of dedicated logistics players on dust. We are just too busy pickin up hard charging assaulteers and patching up bullet holes to chat very loud.

heh, seems like you and I would be best friends. I'm that one idiot who runs straight out, nanite injector in hand into the center of an active firefight(mostly because people never wait, it always pisses me off so much when someone dies like 15 feet from me and sits there for about 5 seconds, the moment I reach them, they decide they don't want to be rezzed and not cost the team a ticket{likely two, because nanite injectors can't be shot at that guy who i was ducking and juking to avoid getting shot by so I could revive their ass}) |

Yeah, any kind of revival would be a godsend for my ISK. Replacing suits, weapons, modules, etc nonstop is obscenely expensive. Not to mention I have no problem giving the medics their share of points, considering they're (from the looks of things, but apparently not) a dying breed. |

Playing logi in random matches with no one on comms is a thankless and absurd venture. It is worse than playing whack a mole at the county fair after eating too many funnel cakes. Worse than...
Well, you get the picture. I've tried out a logi character but with radio silence and everyone running around mashing the O button every time they get shot, most players running the cheapest gear possible, and dying the cheapest possible deaths to avoid the pain of losing a flashy dropsuit, and what have you, did not feel it was really worth it. Using the rep tool and nanohive combo is ok, but sometimes players would rather run away from a rep and get shot than stand still for the few seconds it takes to fix some armor. Maybe it frightens them.
They are great in organized squads though. |

I only play as logistics. I mainly use an smg because my accuracy is pretty rubbish anyway, nanite injector and a repair tool that is better at healing dropsuits better than vehicles and installations |

that's just how this game works. as is. it helps to work as a team but by no means necassary if you meta game like all the guys goping 25/1

I wish being a medic was as common place in Dust as it was in MAG. I swear, 75% of people in MAG had the medic symbol next to their name (all though very few people medic). |

I just recent,y started playing and progressing in logistics. The problem im having is that there isnt much communication between teamate if any. Olayers are vastly spreadout an if someone dies u dont necessairly know how far they are. And alot of people just choose to respawn. That being said when i get hooked up with a group and this game gets settled then everything will be fine.
Note to players in the game....unless you have all bpo's wait for medic. Especially if your with a group. The most annoying thing is when we finally get near you and you decide ti respawn. |

I play exclusivly as logi these days, but had to divide my suits into three builds just for the militia gear due to the market price increase... Starting this week I have been able to use more level one gear, but like dropships or tanks, logi is kind of expensive to jump into for new players. Give it time ... |

My observations, 2 days in:
1) Playing as a medic is interesting, but I never managed to revive anyone - saw perhaps 1 or 2 that "stayed dead" for more than 5 seconds, making it improbable that I'd ever resurrect anyone
2) Playing as assault or heavy, I've only ever once gotten a resurrect; Have tried laying very still, push the [] button, and had players run around me with no effect. Even with "triage unit in vicinity" (or something), I lay still, outside of the fight, and nothing...
Btw, to whomever did resurrect me once: Big thanks! It was most welcome.
I had some more rockets to blast at an annoying vehicle, but unfortunately woke up on top of a grenade - died instantly.
What i really don't get is: If part of the to-win criteria is the number of clones left (0 => lost), then why aren't more people waiting for the medics? or did I miss something about the game mechanics? |

I am a dedicated logi, I am level 4 logistic dropsuit, nanit injector, repair tool and medic nanohive. I have an assault rifle lvl 4 and average 10 kills 2 deaths per match. It is a thankless task, but the bonus sp you get from team heal, team resupply, armour repair and revive makes up for it,
Remember you are logi's, you don't run forward into the battle, tactically place a nanohive, kill anything that moves, and if they let you, revive whoever you can.
Nanite injector still needs work. Find it hard to find a target when you get close to them. Possibly require a red outline when you get close to the person to show their position.
CCP should make an accept button for logi's or nanite carriers, when soldier go's down and calls for help pressing square, they could do a reply button to acknowledge they need help and to say they are on there way. This will stop medics running half way accross a map to someone who is going to press circle when you get there, and it will let the soldier know we are on our way.
CCP any chance?
Thoughts all. |

I have my "skinweave logistic fit" which I use to do the things other logistics fail to do. By this I mean dropping those drop-uplinks in ambush matches, somewhere safe providing my team with fairly safe spawn point.
You can often save more lives trough this than you can by using your injectors. Dis-including the feeders of course. |

I was logi last night and I averaged at 70K sp a match and that was with 8 kills 2 deaths. The rest was from reviving, repairing and resupplying, haven't specced the drop uplink yet but will have to give it a try. How much sp do you get for a soldier using your drop uplink.
I might have to wait until I have saved up 2.4 million to upgrade to level 5 suit. It gives you 4 equipment slots instead of 3. |

I never see that many medics around either, sometimes feels like I'm the only one.
I've been using a custom set-up with the Assault Dropsuit fitted with an injector, just because the Logi Dropsuit to me feels quite clunky. The disadvantage for me using my Dropsuit is I don't have the luxury of having a second equipment slot for a nanohive, or the armour repair module so I have to conserve ammo and choose fights wisely. But I feel more at ease with the Assault Dropsuit knowing I have a sidearm to switch to during a duel or a heavy CQC situation. That being said, I can't seem to hit *kittens* with the Pistols and I either die or run out of ammo for the assault rifle before having to use it most times. I'm really at an impasse on giving up my sidearm for the Logi Dropsuit. (T^T)
A forth speciality I feel is needed to branch out for the Logi, why waste some skillpoints on the Assault Dropsuit picking Enforcer if all you want to use is the Logi I say. :S |

I always play as a Logi...however, reviving is so damn painful in this game. Takes an age to switch to the nanite injector and then the revive process is too slow. Most of the time it's not worth the risk. |

I spend perhaps only 15% of my playtime in a logistics suit, but I spawn in every game as a logi at least once.
To me the logistics suit is extremely specialized. I use it almost exclusively to quickly lay down a strategic drop uplink and place two nanohives nearby. After that I go on a AR-rampage until I respawn in an assault suit with a nanite injector for the opportunistic revive.
Hint: All assault suits need to carry either a nanite injector or a nanohive. If you don't, change that! |

From now on I play as logistic because: I can make teammates survive more, and if they survive more - I survive more, because I'm not alone |

The problem with the lack of Medics is the low level suits dont have many equipment slots - 2 on the tier0 suits - so if you run a support role (nanohives & droplinks) there is no room for injectors until the suits with 3 or 4 slots. (the high advance or proto suits). most people (me included) usually die a great distance from assistance and re-spawn with out calling for help. It would be nice to get a med sensor visual in the HUD about bleed out time and the distance of nearest friendly nano injector (SOONtm) |

I only just started, but I started out with Logistics. I could definitely use a few pointers on the loadouts. Of course I still don't know enough about how to read the field as I'm playing to know who's playing what role. I'm finding the map is quite large, and finding your other 9 teammates can be a challenge, because I'm thinking logistics would be one of those classes that should be following assault members into battle. |

Logistcs are not necessarily medics/triage. The only actual role bonus a logistics suit gets is a 10% bonus to hacking speed. Unless and until they get other bonuses to some other role, they're just suits with lots of equipment slots that are better than average at hacking. They should focus on supporting their team, yes, but there are lots of things one can bring to help the team.
On the other side of that is the fact that anyone can and should carry injectors. Not every soldier needs a nanohive. I think it'd be ideal for general combatants to carry about half nanohives and half injectors. |

I once tried the basic level Logistics suit. What I found out is that it REALLY doesn't suit my fighting style but however I do like to revive others and support the team other than just running and gunning. So what I did is made a new Fitting, which I named Tiger Trooper, that is designed to be able to actually fight with the enemy on the ground while reviving others. He has a Burst Rifle, pistol, basic level nades, and a Injector. It works quite well if you play smart but just like the logistics suit it can't last long if the center of heavy fire due to it not being focused in defense or evasion.
With this Tiger Trooper fitting, I do not run into open fire to heal others. It's silly. You're risking yourself for someone in a high-risk situation which can cost your team. Best thing to do if in heavy fire, sweep the area as quickly as possible and then go in. If they're still alive you revive. You can't go wrong with this.
Now. Recently I've made a new Logistics suit. I call it Battle Support because that's exactly what it does. It resupplies ammo and it revives. It can also survive, albeit with more of a weakness than my Tiger Trooper, on the battlefield with certain equips. He only has a shotgun but this is perfect for when in CQBs which is the perfect moment for revivng because you don't have to worry about distant shots. Another good thing is that if someone is being stealthy and pops up to make an attempt at your clones life, you can just whip out the shotgun and take them down. |

Random matches I tend to field my cheaper logi fits and do what I can. Squad matches where I have a crew on comms I break out the good stuff and use it heavily. |

im basically saying that logisuits all ready put themselves at a disadvantage in any combat situation for the chance that their teammates are as/more powerfull than the enemy. {edit} add to that the sp diverted. just spec an assult to logi if you must.
