+1 to the idea. somehow i think a simplified system such as this brings a subtle form of depth, but thats just me.

while i do have concerns about some of the propositions, i can understand the decision removing the light weapon slot and replacing it with a sidearm so that the logi can focus on his role.

in my honest opinion, the job of a logistics operator would be a pure support role. not with mass drivers or assault rifles , not in terms of providing covering fire towards the enemy , but with distribution of priority in maintaining squad-level efficiency.

why would i support this?

Because i can relate; before uprising, my logistics fit had alot of equipment, but because i had that much equipment, i was concerned that using my Gek- rifle would hinder by ability to do my job and i found using a pistol forced me to focus on my squad's health. (Assault pistols for the win)
i was so focused on my job being a logi as a result, i was constantly favored among my former corp as quote: " a World-class Logi"

Move the repair tool from equipment to a light weapon slot? It would cause a logi to really commit to focusing on logistics. Would the repair tool in its current form be strong enough to justify that kind of change?

It would cause a logi to really commit to focusing on logistics. Would the repair tool in its current form be strong enough to justify that kind of change? i would agree, however doing that would completely render a logi combat-ineffective. example would be a logi separated from his squad, faced up against an enemy soldier? he or she's is boned in all aspects. Logis should have at least something so they have a chance of surviving the encounter. i think repair tools should remain an equipment slot, however logis arent always Combat medics Think logistics as the stuff happening beyond the fighting and the bullets flying everywhere; EWar, communications, supply allocation, troop allocation, Vehicle management, they are the ones who can hack an objective better than assault personnel, they are the ones who can defend their allies in the Ewar front better than the others. they are the ones who assist and revive fellow comrades, and they are the ones who can help a tank commander or a pilot perform their jobs a little easier.
