I believe I can run the same suit I have now with 2x Complex CPU upgrades by dropping one of my regulators which is fine.

But my frustrations stem from this notion that I'm not a logi if I don't have a rep tool or that I can go 30-1 in a match as a logi.

While going 30-1 I can still accumulate more WP from support than killing. What is wrong with that? Serious question

here is the disconnect: logi= logistics. a wide range of support options. just cause yer a logi does not in fact relegate you to medic. you could run two different RE, a scanner, hive and still be a logi.

logibro=medic or thats what it's come to mean for me. all the restorative gear with thoughts of objective garrison (defending a point) fat boy support or general zerg support of a close moving squad.

EDIT: logibro instead of logi

I agree with your assessment, you can be a logi and not be acting like one of the hunting dogs chasing down the reddots. IDK why people are so obsessed with thinking that they NEED to be just another flavor of assault.

I think you need to read his assessment again.

Not my fault you took a different interpretation away from his post. I agree with his assessment, apparently you do as well. However, I get the impression that he is talking about actually playing as support with the wide-range of support options rather than abusing the support options by using them (fully or otherwise) to enhance assault capabilities (which is the impression I get from you).

I think someone else on here already said that "logi" is such a vague term and I agree. I also look at it like this. If a merc in a logi suit is going 32/0 and I'm being resupplied by his hives, and coming in on his links and was able to see an incoming flank before it happened, guess what? He was still supporting me. LOGISTICS = BAG OF TRICKS You want to carry the bag of tricks? You have to give up some other amenites. Perhaps fewer EHP, movement, the best damage mods. If you are doing something that is allowing your team to go beyond their suit's normal capacity then you are being supportive. Anyone can be supportive. Logistic suits allow for an increased capacity to perform in this way. I whole heartedly back anyone's choices about what they stick in they're bag of tricks. If it's something I don't have on my fit, even sweeter! I also completely understand Corporation leadership's deciscions to box logi user's roles to specific things. If and I do mean IF I ever see a PC, I will happily run with what the lead tactician wants me to run with for the betterment of the team. And I know for a fact that almost all of you have different combonations of gear in your bags. The variations are plentiful. Heck, I even have a fit I named Snipergistics. Can you guess what I do with it? In Final Fantasy games, you don't really ever see a mage. You see white mage, red mage, black mage, blue mage, summoner, and a bunch of other goofy ones if you're playing ff tactics. "to enhance assault capabilities" That's what I think the whole aim of logistics is, whether logibro, general logi or assault logi. TL;DR: Buffalo Chicken Pizza from Dominos is the best I have ever had.
