I don't think these will overpower AFs and the like, as Michael suggests. While they will provide significant tank to a teammate, if they decide to fit a MWD they will cap themselves rather quickly. They can choose to either do their intended purpose of repping, OR avoid the pursuing badass AF.
Think of them as the fat kid sharing candy. They can sprint faster than the bully...but not for long! |

What I can definitely see happening is wolfpack gangs of frigs taking on gangs of larger ships. This will force the group of larger ships to call in or reship to smaller ships. Hopefully this will generate the "battles within battles" of frigates that was mentioned in the Alliance Tournament.
Hopefully, frigates will be relevant again. And not just for solo or newbies. |

It will make solo harder only in the sense of you, a solo pilot, engaging more than one person at a time. It wouldn't be 1v1, it would be 1v2. If you honestly expect your single ship to be able to counter two ships of equal size and the like, I'm not sure what to tell you. EVE is not fundamentally a solo game. Solo can be fun, but solo activities are not the baseline by which we should measure the utility of ships or modules. The corporation is, after all, the fundamental unit of organization in the game.
This is not an RPG where you are the Big Hero who takes on All The Bad Guys at once. While incredibly skilled (and sometimes lucky) pilots can take on multiple enemies at once and survive, this is the exception rather than the norm by mechanics and design. |

Oh yes, missile destroyers. Yes please! I am looking forward to the Minmatar one in particular. |

Looking back on all of this, these logi frigs just make more and more sense as other changes are revealed. You won't be seeing the annoying neutral RR in hisec with the Crime Watch changes. The new missile destroyers will just alpha these out of existence, or the Amarr one will neut them dry, or the Gallente one will droneswarm them. Nevermind the EW frig changes.
There are so many counters to these things. Don't declare solo dead just yet. |
