Do we need this? I thought the Logi was the engineer. He repairs, rearms and ressurects his team. Maybe add some shield transfer and a few other tricks.

1. I think Scout should be the fast hacker and capper. Why else would you want to be lightly armored then mobility?

2. I agree, you should be able to put modules which effect equipment, so you can be a super repair guy.

3. Ressurecting vehicles sounds broke and leaves room for abuse, because you could summon cars up to the vehicle cap, blow them up and then summon more and ressurect the broken ones. But if you couldn't ressurect if at the cap, then people would just complain because all the LAVs using all the cap. I'm not sure about balance if you could ressurect a next gen 3M battle tank when they put them out.

4. Anyone can get on the radio and call down a installation, or should be able to. Logistics can definately get a bonus, that sounds cool.

5. generators, shield fields, cloaking fields, yea all cool.

I was mostly picturing tribes, I was an engineer class in that game, I spent all my time putting down force fields to protect our generators putting teleporter relays in for quick movement around the battlefield, extra radar stations for more battlefield awareness, etc, but more then anything I moved around the battlefield keeping this stuff operating. it's a useful role that has it's place on a battlefield, and for the most part would just be an alt role for the logistics like the commando is for the heavy.

One discussion point though is the % bump to skills and how codebreakers and other equipment could be stacked to overpower a certain attribute - just a thought.
