what are the 4 primary skills?

If you say shields and mechanics for example, I would say your wrong. Suits out trump them. Then again, I guess it depends on your play style.

Suits out trump nothing. Modules, weapons and skills out trump everything.

sure on modules like extenders and complex damagers but an assault type 2 out trumps doing the shields SP for 5% and mechanics. Never done a type B but I bet the true is similar in the Shield/ HP gain. Plus you get more CP/ PG so dont need to hit those SP skills to get the gains yet.

Rather spend SP in grenades say than get base level up - for what? to save being hit one or 2 times?

@Ner'zul good point. If i was logi (and esp. a heavy) I would most probably be more interested in increasing the base rate of my suits.

Although, I'd suggest skilling shield enhancements to level 4, complex extenders are drastically different from enhanced ones.

If you say shields and mechanics for example, I would say your wrong. Suits out trump them. Then again, I guess it depends on your play style. Logi suits don't have any discrepancies in HP of different tiers; thus, Shield Control and Mechanics ought to be very useful for them. But you can also fit, say, 3 complex shield extenders on an advanced Logi suit. I have yet to test out my survivability in a fit like that.

If i was logi (and esp. a heavy) I would most probably be more interested in increasing the base rate of my suits. Moreover, just thought about it, don't base HP skills also increase the base stats of vehicles you call in? I think they might, slightly remember seeing different total HP on my Baloch and someone else's. If this is true, then base skills should be important for all pilots. But, once again, I may be mistaken.
