Repair guns should be a side arm. That way it cuts into your dps BUT yo can fit more stuff in equipment. You know which aren't guns.

Then how would logis use repair guns? We have no side arm slot and we can't put it into our light weapon slot or else we wouldn't be able to defend our selves.

Like with the scanner, i think it should be ABLE to be put in a sidearm slot but not specifically stuck there only

That's a cool idea. So the repair gun and scanner could be equipped to both equipment slots and Sidearm slots. That's actually genius. Would let heavies use scanners, and repair each other. neat.

Maybe even ad the nova knife to that? I liked when I could use an AR, a pistol AND a knife. Maybe let us equip the knife to an equipment slot?

I forgot lol.

Well my other idea was buff it and make it a light weapon. I thought a sidearm would be a inbetween compromise. But now that I think about it more if I'm going to suggest anything it's making the repair gun a light weapon. Then give logi suits a massive boost to range, like 200-300% *this is in the same range as eve logi bonuses*

Also if this was done I would argue that logis should gain a sidearm. Like a medic in TF2, the healing gun is awesome. In eve online, your shield reps take spots guns could of gone. I don't think these are bad things.

Like in Eve, weapons should be limited to weapon slots which means equipment can go into weapon slots but not vice versa although I would support the Nova knife as equipment if it had more uses.

No. Sorry, but no.
Despite being support, we are all soldiers, and we should not have to compromise our role as a soldier to equip a non-essential tool.
