What %age of your SP is in your cal-logi dropsuit? Part of your investment is in the basic suits, which means switching to assault isn't too terrible of a loss.

Why do I never get rezed when there are tons of blue-dots around me and its perfectly safe to rez?

Why do I have to carry my own Nanohives and Drop Uplinks if I want either?

(note: playing with my corp alleviates these two points somewhat, but not completely, especially if not in a full squad or when I am the designated Logi)

Too many Logis...yeah right.

If you're getting a ton of Logi-type players interested in your corp, then you are probably catering to that demographic over others, maybe even (unknowingly) seeking them out.


In-game experience tells me there are very few Logis out there, especially new Logis. Heck, I barely see Logis as part of other established corps, its that bad.

I have to rely on my corpmate Logis or none at all. If I happen to get picked-up by a Blue-dot logi or healed by one, I count myself VERY lucky.

Does this mean I won't pick up people I see down and won't drop Hives in an active combat area or Uplinks in a key location? No, I do that because its my role (and the points don't hurt either)

That sounds like an extremely boring way to play the game. If being the best of the best is important to you, you're probably right about being super focused - that's cool - enjoy you the game the way you enjoy it. I'd much rather have all weapons unlocked to level 3, than have one maxed out through the absurdly expensive reload and fitting skills, which only gives you a tiny, situational advantage in combat. For me, being able to swap between decent logi, frontline and AV fits makes the game a lot of fun. Some new players would probably be happier specializing, others being jack of all trades. It just depends on the players' personalities.

Tl;dr OP has a point, but a narrow view of Dust.

I'm one of these new players OP is referring to I guess and I agree with this point. Put it this way - Ideally I want to spec into scout to scan and recon (I.e be a Scout), but with scanning skills/mechanics the way they are and only 2/4 scout suits available, why would I want to start specialising down that path yet? I won't be spending ANY points Into dropsuit command or any more than the lv1 ive got into the 3 sensor skills until I hear somethin remotely solid on these issues from CCP.

I'm at nearly 2mil, most of my SP are in core skills, but I have some in AR, Sniper and Shotgun, as well as Hives, Uplinks, and reps. I can counter snipe when we are being sniped, I can help keep that Heavy alive (or revive them otherwise) or resupply that FG or whatever, or sneak round and get an uplink so we have somewhere to flank with. I can use Remote exp. as well, but lets ignore that.

Could I do any of those competitively in PC? Well no, but why would you have someone at 2mil SP in PC, regardless of whether they have specialised or not?

I can't see how the ~250kSP is going to hurt that badly when I'm at 7milSP. At least so much as to slog my way through the grind using only ARs and Hives every match, every clone.

Give noobs like me a clue, make sure we aren't trying to armour tank our Caldari starter fits, direct us to swarms and FG if we want to AV, or shotguns and nova knives if we love cqc, but especially considering there is still new content, mechanics and balance changes to come - trying to get new players to specialise like we are in 10 year old EVE just seems counter productive.

We will get bored and/or frustrated, leave and prove all these naysayers right about CCP wasting time and resources.
