So with 1.2 the nanite injector is back as a viable tool on the battlefield. This has the obvious benefit of saving people ISK on suits and slowing down the loss of clones. What people may not appreciate are the indirect benefits.
People have more incentive to group up and work together. Grouping up has always been important to success, but now more than ever, it can
Uplinks are no longer the only means of keeping your team in the fight. Now fewer people need to carry as many uplinks, with revives working, making battles more clone efficient.
The murder taxi is no longer the end all of a fight. With pickups all that is lost is some stats and some pride.
Armor tanking has one more great benefit. Nanite injectors at the proto level can bring someone back at 80 percent of their original armor. That can be over 400 hp returned in less than 2 seconds. When it's a battle of damage dealt versus, damage taken this makes armor tanking a viable strategy in long drawn out fight.
Most importantly the role of a support logi has become important again. Not only does having someone with skills in a nanite injector help your squads overall effectiveness, but with revives means faster ammo depletion, which requires more people carrying nanohives. Though all this equipment can be carried by most, the versatility can only be held by a logi who can carry everything. On top of that someone who is dedicated to reviving, resupplying, and repping, they can focus on making sure their team can outlast any conflict, without sacrificing any overall combat effectiveness because a nanite injector is a force multiplier.
So to CCP , if this one "bug" can make a huge difference, lets appreciate how important it is to iron out the basic mechanics of a game. I commend you for 1.2 and all the fixes you made, but the 2 months to fix this was too long, and the damage has been done, as many have gone to do other things in that time. I'm glad you have decided to take the monthly approach and I look forward to 1.3. (find a way to get assaults to quit wearing the yellow suits by then and I'll buy a veteran pack)

On this I 100% agree. This single item was the most important item in this build by MILES! I also agree fixes like this should ALWAYS take priority over any new content and be released on it's own (or with a few other fixes) ASAP. Hopefully they listen to us. |

I love the fix, I've always ran with the nanite injector, and often times I'd spend a good ten seconds fidgeting over the dead body of a blue trying to find the magic spot to revive them (normally at their feet), and it was hard to tell if I couldn't revive somebody because they had been killed in a way that left them unable to be revived or if they system was just too finicky.
Now I am nowhere near the only one running a nanite injector, and when I go down I actually have a pretty good chance of being picked up. |

Still waiting for the "don't revive me bro" button. I don't trust blue berries reviving me with 30% armor under fire. At least I revive people with 80% armor under fire  |

I was a huge proponent of content (PVE, racial suits, EVE interaction) over bug fixes, until I realized how much more fun I could have when things work. I think CCP realized after all the negative reviews that content isn't worth a damn if you can't use it properly. We can wait for more content (hopefully by the time the PS4 comes out), but we can't do anything now if the game doesn't work. |

Yeah, I am also in favor of an option to opt out of revive immediately. |

Also back - Logis who repeated pick one up under fire. There is also no way to stop being picked up if you'rather not.
Unscrupulous Logis will benefit from this while ignoring the fact that they are awoximg for points.

If they're in my squad I don't mind. |
