This whole "needs to be a reason to upgrade" thing has dragged on for a really long time. There is a reason to upgrade, it isn't the base stats, it is the extra mod slots. More mod slots=beastiality. GL killing a proto logi loaded up on proto shield extenders and the best armor plates+best armor repper mods+kinetic booster mods to make up for slowing due to armor plates. That logi doesn't have any better base stats than the standard, but it ends up with **** tons more EHP.

BUT I realize this isn't the main point of your post. Yes, BPOs should stay. I say so because you actually are risking something by using them, that is to say you are risking losing the battle for using sub-par gear that is easily out-matched by that proto logi I mentioned earlier. |

Hey Logi Bro, what is that stats on a proto logi? Like how many High/Low/Equipment slots?
4 high slots and 4 low slots, the most CPU/PG of any dropsuit, four equipment slots, and I could go on for a while.
Basically proto logi is pretty OP, but people don't know this because there aren't very many proto logi's out there. |

Their ability to strafe is still severely nerfed and as a result they are hit with far more bullets than they otherwise would be. You're better off sticking three regulators and an armor rep in those lowslots, TBH.
The only armor plate worth using is the standard level, because 3% speed loss is managable. 10% just starts to hurt. Multiple plates just bring you to close to a heavy's speed with much less durability and no sidearms.
Still, extra slots aren't that much of a reason to upgrade TBH. My 'Sever' Logi suit is all I ever need as far as logistics go. In past builds I'd usually train suits in the order of scout -> logi -> heavy, but as long as i have my 'Sever' (Arguably the only pay to win MAG suit) I don't feel any need to train logi at all past level 1. All I need to rock logi is a repair tool, injector, and gauged nanohives. Run out of nanohives? Just restock at a supply depot. Before the Sever that'd mean at least investing in an advanced suit. But now? No problem. Yay BPO!
@ Ironwolf and Necandi : No, I'm not talking about Tech 2. I mean proto and advanced stuff. If CCP sticks to what they were saying for the last few months, there will never be advanced or prototype BPOs.
I agree, standard is all I really need, too. But that proto logi IS pretty great, personally i would go for the advanced armor plate, a couple of proto armor reppers and one kinetic mod, but that's just my preference. Strafing isn't the logistics dropsuit's forte anyways. |
