Logis are designed to be versatile, i.e. they should be able to do whatever they want with the suit.

Would you like it if I forced a CRU on your ship?

You mean like they do in the logistics...
Or how, as stated, every ds is required to have two turrets. Three for Ads.

I was just asking how itd work. I have no idea I just heard it and it made some sense to me since as a pilot I already deal with that.

And I know ots mot all logis. I was generalizing about the problem. Most people this build have two major issues. Some assault rifles and some assault logi fittings.

Pretty sure both need fixed before "release"

My that logis now can be?

this actually makes sense if at least 2 of the 3 or 4 equipment slots are required to be filled.

then the Logi can do what it wants and not run a Weapon and use ALL 3/4 Equipment slots in the proto

Why would anyone be against this? It makes perfect sense. If you do not like that idea all that tells me is you are not using the equipment slots right now, in which case you aren't really a logistics and you should be trying to get CCP to buff up the assault suit instead of worrying that they might do something to the logistics.

Why can't this apply to Logi's dropsuits and might it prevent the Super-Assault troops that logis now can be?

Minmatar logistics can still be a good hacker with something in every equipment slot, as your utility example. I selected logistics as my starter build in chromosome and have been using one to this day, I understand the logistics class. Support and utility wouldn't be affected by making equipment slots mandatory. The only thing you listed that would be effected is slaying, and I have no clue why you got that as a role for logistics. I mean, if logistics should be able to specialize in slaying then why do we even have the assault class? Let's just delete assault all together then.

I'm a little surprised they didn't go for the low hanging fruit solution too. Although I thought it would have been a yellow box BPO for the militia needle and militia rep tool in the first two equipment slots of all logis. They're "free" but also taking up some of that extra cpu/grid the suit was given in the first place for equipment..

I think this is a good idea most logi's use full equipment anyway and when you ask people why logi's besides the Cal are OP all they can come up with is how much stuff we can fit if we dont bother fitting equipment. So to be honest I would much rather be forced to carry full equipment and act as support as I do that anyway rather than have some of these other nerfs being thrown about. If I wanted to have a few matches of killing only I could use my basic suit.

In short I support this because forcing logi's to be more supporty is better than getting nerfed to oblivion.

Man, you guys really must want your other suits to keep their ****ty bonuses huh?

What race logistics do you run? If this happens, my Minmatar hacker build is going to be toast because I can't carry equipment with the catalyzers and codebreakers. It hurts the class' versatility. And again, why are we talking about the whole suit class being the problem. Can someone tell me how the Amarr, Minmatar, and Gallente logi somehow OP? Especially the Gallente, I want to hear that one first.

Stop and read before you start assuming what I am saying. You act like versatility is something that is exclusive to the logistics class like some defining feature. In truth, versatility is apart of every class. I'm not trying to limit the logistics options because I hate versatility, I'm trying to limit them because right now they can do a better job at assault than assault players. And that is all logistics, not just Caldari. And why is this? Because they get more high/low slots and more CPU/PG than assault and only have to sacrifice a sidearm which is barely used to begin with.

I am a supporter of versatility, but not so much that each class starts to bleed into one another. Logistics being forced to use all their equipment slots wouldn't make them a medic. Last I checked, the nanite injector and repair tool aren't the only pieces of equipment in the game. You have remote explosives, active scanners, uplinks, nanohives, and several more to come in the future such as cloaking. There are still plenty of versatile roles a logistics would be able to specialize into besides medic. But if you don't want to use equipment so you could save CPU/PG to be more of a slayer that hacks faster or something like that, then that to me sounds like a level of versatility that should be available for the assault class and not the logistics.

This goes back to my point. You want to run an medium suit that doesn't carry full equipment but can hack fast and run. This sounds like a level of versatility for the Assault suit, not the Logistics suit. You should be petitioning CCP to buff the Assault Suit instead of trying to stop others from making the logistics suit more like a logistics suit. Oh, and I explained why it's not just the Caldari.

Since I get the feeling that most people write and read in General Discussion exclusively, I am copying and pasting this from Feedback/Requests.

It's the racial bonuses. They seem completely and utterly arbitrary, and the game's overall balance suffers for it. We all know the most glaring and over-discussed racial bonus, the Caldari logi shield extender buff, but what about the heavy's "weapon feedback damage reduction?" What about the shield recharge rate increase to all the assault suits, even though it mostly benefits Amarr and Caldari? If any of these bonuses have any real reason behind them, may a Dev feel free to come in and tell me about it, but otherwise, I suggest a complete re-work of racial bonuses, and class bonuses.

Assault
Assault Dropsuit Bonus- 2% hand-held weaponry damage increase per level
Caldari Assault Bonus- 3% shield extender increase per level
Gallente Assault Bonus- 5% armor repair module rate increase per level
Minmatar Assault Bonus- 5% hand-held weaponry clip increase per level
Amarr Assault Bonus- 5% reduction to energy weapon heat build-up per level

Logistics
Logistics Dropsuit Bonus- Keep +1 armor repair per level
Caldari Logistics Bonus- 10% nanohive nanite capacity bonus per level
Gallente Logistics Bonus- 5% equipment PG/CPU reduction per level
Minmatar Logistics Bonus- Keep 5% hacking speed bonus per level
Amarr Logistics Bonus- 5% repair tool rate increase per level

Heavy
Heavy Dropsuit Bonus- 2% hand-held weaponry damage received reduction per level
Amarr Heavy Bonus- 2% dropsuit shield and armor increase per level

Scout
Scout Dropsuit Bonus- Keep 5% scan profile reduction per level
Gallente Scout Bonus- 10% dropsuit and active scanner scan radius increase per level
Minmatar Scout Bonus- Keep 5% melee and nova knife damage increase per level

You can see, excluding scouts, the bonuses have been changed to fit the role of the suit. The assault dropsuit's role has been strengthened for long life and general combat, the logistics dropsuit's role has been strengthened to triage and miscellaneous activities, and the heavy dropsuit's role has been strengthened to survivability beyond the assault dropsuit. Scouts still retain their recon and intelligence roles, and they are all spec'd to do what they are meant to do. Most importantly, there were no dropsuit base stat nerfs, which seems to be most people's ideas to fix imbalances.

Feel free to make your own amendments, and comment.

EDITS: Assault Dropsuit Bonus changed from 3% to 2% per level, Heavy Dropsuit Bonus changed from 3% to 2% to match.
Amarr Logistics given back 5% armor repair module rate bonus, was previously +5% repair tool rate per level, Amarr Assault given back energy weapon heat build-up reduction per level, was previously +5% armor repair module rate per level.
Minmatar Assault Bonus changed from +5% sidearm clip size to +5% any hand-held weapon clip size per level.
Even more changes: Gallente Assault given +5% armor repair module rate, Amarr Assault given +3% armor plate health bonus per level, Amarr Logi given back original +5% repair tool rate per level.
Amarr Assault Bonus changed again, now to 5% reduction to energy weapon heat build up per level.
Gallente Scout Bonus affects dropsuit AND active scanner radius now.

You're also missing the big picture. Now keep in mind this is all speculation, but think about why the logistics was the only suit class that didn't get a basic suit and was such an SP sink. Also look at the Gallente scout and its racial bonuses. I think CCP is laying some ground work for EWAR active modules. Scouts are probably going to get ECM and logistics are going to get shoehorned into a tackling role. On top of that, I believe that these modules are going to be high and low slot modules and not equipment. That's why we have so many slots and that would explain the high CPU/PG and the SP sink. They want this stuff to be be more specific to logistics while limiting how many modules the other classes can use at one time because they'll probably have higher equipment costs. Would you really want every class with the ability to run around with scramblers, nosferatu, and webafiers all on one suit?

And why should my speedy hacking role go to an assault? Assaults are supposed to be the slayers. I thought we were arguing about logis being better slayers than assaults right now.

What race logistics do you run? If this happens, my Minmatar hacker build is going to be toast because I can't carry equipment with the catalyzers and codebreakers. It hurts the class' versatility. And again, why are we talking about the whole suit class being the problem. Can someone tell me how the Amarr, Minmatar, and Gallente logi somehow OP? Especially the Gallente, I want to hear that one first.

I run Gal logi I have had many people tell me all logi's are OP but I too am still waiting on what makes the 3 besides the Cal op.
I would still prefer Logi Bro's ideas but I would take this if it was a choice between this and complete and total nerf.

Assaults are supposed to be slayers? Oh, I thought you were the one arguing for versatility. Saying assaults are supposed to be slayers is like saying logis are supposed to be medics. All I was saying is assaults should be able to be a better slayer than logis if that's what they wanted to do. Right now if an assault and a logi both decided they want to be slayers, the logi would be the better slayer. But the assault should still have versatility to do other roles as well besides slaying.
