Assuming you're using a GEK-34 and AV Grenades, in order to run a basic repair tool, a basic nanite injector, and Advanced K-2 nanohives, you will need Core Upgrades 4 and Electronics 4! Even if you downgrade to the BASIC nanohive, you need Core 3/Electronics 4 just to fit it! And for R-9 drop uplinks instead of nanohives, you'd need Electronics 5!

Before you say "downgrade to a basic AR," compare this to the Gallente Advanced suit. Using 2x Complex Extenders and 3x Basic Plates (EHP 628), the GEK-34 and the AV grenades, you do not need ANY additional fitting skills to fit the Repair Tool, Nanite Injector, and K-2 hives. All you need is Core 2 which is a pre-req anyway for your equipment.

So you're saying that the Advanced Caldari suit shouldn't be able to use an Advanced weapon while the other suits can do so and still fit better equipment/tank? Also, where is 87 HP lost coming from? This post is about the Advanced suit, NOT the Proto suit.

Did you even read my original post? My complaint is that given the same weapon/grenades and comparable EHP as other suits, the Caldari suit cannot fit comparable equipment without a considerable amount of SP invested into fitting skills. When all skills are upgraded to Lvl 5, the CPU nerf will cripple the Advanced Cal Logi's equipment potential compared to Gallente and Minmatar.

If you downgrade the weapon to a Lvl 1 or Sidearm, there's just that much more CPU/PG available to all classes, not just Caldari. I don't understand why you think Caldari specifically has to run a gimped weapon to keep up with the equipment levels of the other suits, who can still fit an Advanced weapon.

Also, please do not make assumptions about my playstyle. I play a Logi, not a Logissault, and guarantee that the bulk of my WP come from Logi'ing, not killing.

The Racial Bonus IS the reason you are getting the nerf in the first place, and therefore is relevant.

Also, to note your gallente logi is improperly tanked. (no way in hell will it survive) (needs armor reppers)

Again, the nerf is pretty much just to go against the shield tankers. So all i can really say is that CCP probably looked really hard at people's stats and suits. And came up with this. I can't stress enough that the caldari logi is OP with the way the shields are.

and to my other post, Which is better? Losing a high slot? Or 20 CPU? Something had to go, and I don't see what else could they of done.. And leaving it alone without the racial bonus wouldn't help either because the logi suit STILL gives far more advantages over the assault variant.

Also, Everyone was complaining about the CALDARI LOGI, not JUST the Proto, OR standard, But all of it!
