Problem is, I seem to be the minority so you guys may get a nerf.
So before it happens, lets collect some data on how we can fix the "problem" with logi suits proactively.
Lets get a discussion going and hit this one head on.
There are a couple of aspects to this first is to make the Assault suits be more suited to specialized assault duties, second is a simple question; if Logi suits are used in a combat capacity so what? What are the balance implications of there being players who build a more combat oriented fit as a Logi? (Note Cody this is more of a broad question not meant to be singling you out here).
The real issue here, as I see it, is that the medium frames aren't specialized sufficiently to provide for their diverse role. In the early stages of the line (i.e. per-racial) they are essentially Assault suits and only with the race proto does one get much of a choice in Logi suits (even our Type-1 MAG suit now requires proto level skills). Most of the assault players I encounter aren't running either the Race Logi or the Race Assault suit they are running the basic medium frame. Of those remaining a fair portion do run the Logi (mostly the Cal Logi) but that seems as much due to the Race bonuses as anything else.
The base frame (plus racial bonuses) of each Assault suit (remember these are only the racial frames here, the general medium frame is not an assault or logi suit and cannot legitimately be compared with the racials straight across) should lend itself more readily to the Slayer role than they Logi suit which means that in one way or another the Assault should have an easier time with gank (i.e. alpha/applied dps) but such considerations cannot include the use of a hive (a support fitting).
I've now read several (4?) threads on this subject and am still looking for a clear description of A) what the problem actually is B) how it's actually a problem C) why altering the Logi suit is the correct solution (And as a bonus D) Why most of the comments are about "Logi suits" when all they talk about is the Caldari Logi ).
So, open season to anyone in the thread explain (sans hyperbole, and if possible with comparative numbers) the above questions.
