WTF do you want logis to do? Follow heavies around all battle with a repair tool out? Be a pack mule for the squad? Try to revive you when we're all surrounded by reds? Jesus, it's a FPS where we all run around with guns, there's no Geneva Convention. If someone shoots at me, I'm going to shoot back and pick up any dead blueberries on the way. Sidearm, no sidearm, less speed, more speed. A suit is just a suit, it's the player that uses the suit that defines it. If my squad is stocked up, nobody is bleeding out, or nobody needs reps, I'm going to bust a cap in someone's ass because what the hell else are you supposed to do in a game where you hold guns in a first person view?

I have a feeling you went logi because you know there is no point in being assault...

I am NOT saying you shouldn't be able to engage someone in combat.
I'm saying you SHOULD NOT BE AS EFFECTIVE AS THE GUY WITH THE SUIT DESIGNED TO DO JUST THAT!
Simple!
You give up some of the power to be extremely versatile!

Give me a reason to go assault.

Nor is it a space point-and-click game. I don't have any interest in EVE, lore or anything even vaguely related to it fyi.

Repairing suits and reviving clones is just SOME of their skills. What else do they do? Are they able to engage 100% of their time doing those activities? Are those activities fun? Skillful? Useful? Trying to get a slightly deeper discussion than labels going. Yes, Logistics should be able to engage when necessary, it would be insane to say otherwise BUT their main focus should be support roles, Ammo, Healing (This is a BIG one), Uplinks and taking a backseat from the combat to keep the rest of the squad alive. The Caldari Logistics is STILL combat viable, it's not really that big a nerf, the people who are complaining are the people who ran Logistics as straight assault fits. Revival isn't necessary when you're being kept alive in the first place, so a rep tool is the MAIN thing a Logistics shout run, Nanohives coming in at close second. Most Assaults run Uplinks but Logistics should be dictating where the battle happens, pushing the spawn points forward as the Assaults push the enemy back, dictating how the battle goes. The job of a Logistics is not to be a slayer, more of a tactician. Picking and choosing who to keep alive, keeping the vehicles running, even running remote explosives to set traps when defending a point. Keeping the Assaults well stocked with ammo, while ASSISTING in the Assault. If you're sacrificing equipment for your weapon or tank, you're not doing your job as a Logistics, the team comes first.
