LogiBro forever!

Battle Support is critical. One of the best things a Logi/Med can do is level up your nanite injectors to fully rez your team mates and get your NanoHives to rep armour... but only if your in a team with comms - don't use it for randoms.

On top of that the proto has 4 high and 4 low. You are the only suit that could max out damage with modules and put biotics on the lows to sprint like the devil. Or shield up or armor up and become the walking tank repper... so many possibilities.


But, very skill heavy and module centric

Standard play is usually to max Weaponry skill first: you must support your team, defend and take out enemies to create a safe area to rez a teammate.

BUY AND USE the non-milita version often, the one with three equipment slots. YOUR first loadout equipment should be a NANITE injector, Drop Uplink, nanite supply. Then second build replaces the droplink with the repair tool. Spawn with the first, play till death. If ever the drop uplink goes down you spawn with the first again. Make militia versions with the nanite injectors and 1Droplink, 2Supply, 3Repper. 3 limited militia builds but wont cost you any money.

Your Logi has ONE weapon slot - make it count. Consider maxing a weapon, I usually run a tactical assault rifle for picking off stragglers and snipers or a mass driver, still glitchy and complicated.

Get you Dropsuit skill up - To the Advanced level and proto eventually if you run with a team (can be done later) for all those module and equipment slots

Get your nano's and electronics up for rezzing and resupply

Mechanics for hp and armor

The Repairing and Remote repping could be done later

Shields are important, make you live longer

that is just a few basics. more to come

OK HERE IS THE MORE TO COME

Looking at the system in which EVE functions a person can only work for ONE corp. at a time and a corp can belong to one alliance at a time.

The Problems (for every idea like this)
As far as I can tell there are no sub-corp options. To that end a mercenary would have to change corporations every time they wanted to work for another corporation or be contracted by another corporation. While this is possible your work history would show the player jumping from place to place with no loyalty. Also there are time limits in eve, on must wait 24hrs before switching to another corp.

The Alliances matter. Even if there was some way to have a sub corporation you could never merc the alliance that your corporation is connected to. It is a safety mechanism to slow traitors, espionage, or a player throwing the match... or fixing it. And again, your work history would reflect it.

True Mercenary work would be difficult to pull off, Unless there was an Alliance of logi's... and that doesn't work because without the other skills and connections of the other classes the alliance/corp would grow stagnant and couldn't be competitive.

The solution if CCP got involved.
Create sub-corporations for mercenaries that were ALLIANCE NEUTRAL, allowing one to join and attack with any campaign.
Allow dual corporation membership.
Of course some might suggest using an alt character for these kinds of things... but the way we work, that doesn't make so much sense.
Also, this is just the beta. Perhaps the full launch will open up many more possibilities.

My Current Solution.
With the original idea kinda shot down I have another offering. Use the chat channels. If you would like to join up I am making a Logi-centric branch in my current CLAN and Corp. Lets talk. Maybe you would like to interview and join, and maybe not. If not, that's fine - go with your clan or corporation and move on. But maybe you want a group that will talk about custom builds and an Alliance that will help fund mass equipment purchases for a well built team with organized logi's... and the pay? Well, you get what you earn Merc.

This idea was killed in it's infancy.

Form up upon my heavy and i shalth give thee everlasting life

did the pass change i cant get in the channel
