I mostly play with blues since I don't have a mic though I can hear what my squad is saying. I tend to play just in publics so my corp can do their business.
I average about 5/1 to 5/4 for K/D with an average WP of 600 and I get roughly 5k SP every match and 120k to 230k ISK. Running as a logistics with a Tsunami Mass Driver (I bought the Mercenary pack). I have Logistics Type-I suit. I have the militia versions of most of my gear because I am saving to get Minmatar Logistics III. I try to revive/repair those that I come across if it is safe to do so.
It just seems slow for me in gathering WP in order to increase my skills. Any helpful tips? I generally end up between 3rd and 6th in most of my games. |

I only get about 5k a match to.
Skirmish mode will offer 10k though because of time investment there is also far more oppertunties to use uplinks repairs and hives as a logi so I suggest giving that game mod ea go. |

Only about 50% of my WP comes in from logistics/kills, the other half is hacking. I can't stress enough how much WP this earns you, plus you are advancing your team by taking installations, null cannons, supply depots, etc. If you haven't done so, max dropsuit command to get a little stealth going, you can sneak behind the radar and take those installations, then use the one you just hacked to kill the enemies standing right in front, and maybe destroy some other installations nearby.
Just a disclaimer, snipers ruin that tactic^ |

Sounds like you are doing fairly well for a logistics soldier. |

Everything has its place in the game. Snipers go for the range and many maps provide cover if used properly can negate most of the threat that a sniper possesses it just takes map awareness to do. I already have dropsuit command 4 and have enough to take it to 5 right now. |

My suggestions are this If you want to gain a lot of SP through Logi-ing then
1. Grab a Drop Uplink for public matches. All non squaded blues can also spawn on your uplink which will net you about 25 WP per spawn, but be careful where you drop your uplinks, pick areas that your team can defend well and not be easily overrun, or drop them in locations where your team will have the advantage of being able to overrun the opposition.
2. Take the Nanite injector. This is a huge WP boon for a Logi and really should be key in how your logi operates. Sure Repping is what your should be focusing on but if a squad mate goes down and you can safely get to him not only do you earn his respect for 5 minutes, but you also save your squad a clone, and get 60 WP.
3. Use your Repair Tool more than your Assault Rifle or whatever weapon you use. Find a Heavy and follow him you can get constant Triage Repping scores for prolonged repairs on them, and you can score a guardian bonus whenever your heavy kills a guy and you have a repair stream on him.
Other than that know when you can and can't engage targets. if you have lots of guys firing on a single target then lend a hand, odds are you will score an assist or even the kill. A good logi survives the fight and sticks with his squad, an even better logi knows when to fight and when to heal and can balance the two. E.g- My CEO is a devout logi, he goes most games in double digits with one of two deaths and near on 1600 WP every time....he's scary man, really scary. |

It sounds like you are getting a respectable amount of WP per match and the Active Booster in the Merc Pack should increase your skill gains per match to about 7k per match.
As far as getting more WP (and thus SP) try building a Logi "dropper" that places Drop Uplinks and Nanohives instead of healing people. A well-placed and hidden Drop Uplink can net you over 100 WP easily. Well-placed Nanohives can easily net you 50 WP apiece.
Hack more. If your whole blue mass is converging on Objective B, look around for Supply Depots, CRUs, and Turrets to hack. Even assisting a hack can get you WP. |

1. I don't think I am skilled yet to use drop links though I plan to eventually get into them.
2 and 3. I currently have the Nanite Injector (militia), repair tool (militia), and the compact nano-hive. Though I don't seem to get SP when people stand in the nano-hive though which is weird.
Other Stuff: I tend to keep my repair tool out more often if the blues seemingly are working together. I push the "up" button a lot especially in the beginning to see if their are multiple people from the same corp together and find them during the battle and just heal and work with them. Other times it is just a gaggle and no one on my team seems to have a plan and I try to do the best that I can with it.
I don't run out into the open to revive someone until the enemy is dead or at least thinned out. I am still getting use to the Mass Driver so sometimes I get an incredibly lucky kill from long range and in others I kill myself when trying to shoot the enemy like 5m from me >.< |

Well then to me it sounds like you are off to a good start. However you dont have to be skilled with Drop Uplinks, use the milita varient of them and focus on learning where to place them. Area that might require you to have rapid clone support are good ones, close to objectives, but hidden to the enemy can find them too quickly, within areas you already control (this may sound stupid but I cant tell you how many times a the enemy has started to hack an objective and the CRU but hasnt found my Uplink yet and then had to face down a squad of angry mercs), or overlooking areas that you want to control. |

There is a Militia Drop Uplink available.
Also, don't use the Compact Nanohive unless you have to for CPU/PG. You can only carry one and they run out very quickly. Even the Militia Nanohive is better- you get two and they carry more stuff. |

Ah someone told me to use the compact ones when I mentioned the list that I had available to choose from. I have plenty of PG/CPU with my suit at the moment. |

That's not as bad as setting it down and it gets blown up before anyone uses it, but it's still not a good result from an Uplink.
But even that little amount is still 2 kills worth out of a Militia item that costs either a small amount of Aurum or about 1500 ISK per fitting.
And you can modifiy the Assault - Triage starter fit to hold one with almost no SP investment. |
