Why is it not possible? Well cause all medium frame basic suits are assaults. All off them and to be precise the only logi suits in the game is either the militia variant OR the specialised suits which require whatever medium frame(amarr/caldari/gallante/minmatar) to lvl 5 and THEN you can spec into logistic suits. This is a massive and huge flaw in the game design. There should be logi suits in the medium basic frame category. New players eventually want to be logis but you need millions of SP to spec into them. |

Have you ever played any MMOs? You don't start off being good. You start off as a piece of **** who can't get anything done, and you work your way up. For some reason, entitled brats here feel like they should be handed equipment slots when they first start. Suck it up, equip a repair tool, and get the hell out there. |

Unlike other MMOs, DUST not only has a mechanical skill progression. It also has the player-factor for progression. Start off new and work your way up with nothing. EARN the suit. EARN the role.

its not the entitled feel its why do I have to become a proto assault before I can be a basic logi? I have no desire to be an assault guy....I will happily not kill 1 person the whole game and just heal, revive, resupply the entire game. Yet CCP found it important to make me be an assault. You think a type-1 logi suit is better than a proto base assault suit? Based on how you have to skill into it would suggest so yet a proto base assault suit will perform much better than the logi suit that is 300K SP more. So yes use an AUR militia logi suit or sink 2.5 mil SP into becoming a type-1 logi......or just play assault or scout like everyone else. |

You can't be as specialized as a logi starting out. You can use the militia logi suit, or you can do remote repair with an assault suit until you get medium frame V and can get into your logi suit. Don't see what the issue is. |

You can't be specialized as a logi at all before you get medium frame V and logi I. Sure you can be the guy with the syringe or rep tool but beyond that there's nothing that differentiates a logi fitted base frame from an assault one. If we say that providing ammo is also a logis job, we can consider everyone except uplink guys a logistics.
The basic frames provide plenty of room to improve survivability and DPS output. So if you want to be an assault guy you have a nice steady curve of gradual improvement while you gain sp and specilize in your favourite weapon/tank type.
But the usefullnes of a logistics suit is primarily determined by his actual logistics capabilities i.e. eq slots and those a are limited to 1 all the way up to proto.
As a basic frame logi i don't get to be any better at my job than anyone who decides to put a nanite injector in his fit. Granted, mine will be better but frankly that is not enough "specilization" i believe.
I really feel your basic sentiment but i do see an issue here. |

Something still needs to be done about how the basic line of suits are exactly the same as the assault line of suits. Either give the assaults more or give the basics less. It's stupid for all those who want to go into the Assault role that you're basically spending 3 million skill points for 25% shield recharge rate and your racial bonus. |

For everyone saying that you need to play as a militia logi to start out then get into the skill.
Then ALL basic frame suits need to be removed.

Earn the role? Wtf you on about? You ahve to do nothing to "earn" the assault role or the heavy or the scout. They are all avaible on either light or heavy frame suits. The only suit that doesnt exist as basic frame suit is the logi. Why the hate for logis? You can do every role in the game with basic suits. be it heavy, scout or assault. Logi seems to be the exception these days cause the basic frame suit simply doesnt exist for the role. And the old mimnatar Logi suit is basically a assault like all the others. So "earning your role" doesnt cut it. |

I'm not a logi and I noticed this as well... Seems pretty stupid that logis and assaults are "medium frame" yet in basic medium frame suits there's only assault.. I would be pissed had I wanted a logi suit.
All the people fighting the op on this, put yourself in his shoes, imagine you couldn't have any assault suits until you do the racial skills as well.. I would be running militia right now instead of proto, seems a little unfair.
Fix this CCP, everyone else gets to run "basic suits" except for logi! |

Seems stupid you need lvl 5 medium frame before you can run basic Logi. This is a bad change, easily solved by adding basic frames with 2 equipment slots, no side arm, and probably 1 less high/low slot. |

Not even that... You have to have at least lvl 1 racial logi on top of med frame lvl 5 and that's just to run the basic crap where as assaults like me can run proto basics without even having racial ds skills. |

Is this your answer to everything?
"earn your role" thing makes me laugh. Earn what? The right to provide equipment to the self proclaimed assault gods? Earn the right to play a support role? In order to earn the role of support I must play a non-supportive role??? I am pretty sure it would be more useful to have a basic logi suit that has limited armor/shields and limited slots (2H, 2L, 2 equipment) that would be a basic logi build. My Sever Logi suit cost more SP than your proto assault build so it should be better right? I mean I earned it and everything so why is it so much worse than the proto base suit I had to get first??? |

Can anyone imagine why it could be a bad idea to make the specialized skills increase in tandem with the basic ones like this?:
I special needs I basic II special needs II basic n special needs n basic
That way you could even decide to go Basic Proto faster or Specialized Proto later.
I'm sure CCP thought about this... |

This isn't eve, support suits should be available the same as all others but instead the sp is almost twice as high for a proto suit.. Ccp is acting like these logi suits are hands and feet above everything else.. They're not.
There is a necessity for the logi support role but that seems to have been almost taken away, between the new rezz method and sp it takes to even get a suit, is it even worth it?
It needs a fix! |

You've missed the point there. In MMOs, every role is available from the start. The warrior, the mage, the rogue, healers, berserkers, dps, etc. It's all available right from the start, and you simply improve the poor base abilities.
There is a disparity in Dust; all the basic classes like tanker, sniper, assault, scout, heavy etc are available from the start. The only exception is the logistics class. And it's impossible for a new player to try out this class, without more than 2million sp invested into it. |

Nanite injectors and repair tools can be used on starter kits. Its not like you have to use a specific suit to do the job. The logi suit is a reward for perseverance and skill.
Lots of players use nanite injectors on normal fitouts, 'just in case its needed'. I even have a shotgun scout with nanite injector. Seek, and you will find. |

Not to mention if these new players want to actually spend the 2mil sp to skill into logi suits, they better not spend sp on anything else in the mean time so they will suck for months trying to just get a suit. |

To get into a logistics specialized hull, this is true.
To throw an armor repper on a logistics cruiser (like the osprey or other racial equivalents) takes barely any time at all.
People, you don't have to WTF PWN in the first few days, nor should you invest a ton of SP at the first thing you see if you're new. |

Thats the idea alright. Though the issue is that those general purpose frames are technically assault frames sans skill bonus. Calling them basic or general does nothing to the fact that those Frames are no middle ground between two extremes. They provide a fluent and organic improvement for one specilization and go directly counter to the purpose of the other.
What the logis need is either another set of less combat efficient basics with an added eq slot or a reworking of the current basics. I never understood (for a whole of a week that is) how adding bonuses to otherwise identical suits is supposed to be specilization. That branch goes straight up, not sideways. |

That the point right there. If we stay at the cruisers for a second: The Osprey is what we need (T1 cruiser, not dedicated but with clear lean to logistics) The Moa is what we have to work with (T1 cruiser, not dedicated but with clear lean to assault)
So give the Medium Frames 2 equipment slots throughout the tier. People then make a choice. Then they get to live with the decision. |
