Point of the whole arguement is this:

They come out and say, oh, the ships have lower resistances.... not true on the Exeq that has an extra low and an extra rig slot.

They say it has lower sig... after bonus/pil, the Exeq is only 6 more sig.

They say it will have lower repair abilities.... but it goes to show the developers lack of knowledge of use.

And not once do they even consider the massive skill and cost withdrawl that will impact choice when considering the very diminished tradeoff.

Just move a low slot to a high slot please for the love of god on the Exeq. it's going to force it to chose between capstability and tank or power repairing and not allow it nearly as much freedom. Stop with the cookie cutter bullshit where Scythe has 3 highs, so Exeq must also.

And here you kill your whole argumentation : oneiros can too get bonuses and pills ; and an exequror with pills kill the whole idea of a noob logi crowd.

And extra low+extra rig *don't* make for the resist : it's called stacking penalty, it cannot achieve the same resist of a T2 hull even with full rack of resist mods. Infact, extra low slot + rig don't even make for tank at all because of one simple thing : put an ACR on the oneiros, and it have TWICE the PG of this exequror. TWICE. Tank on these ships is not even comparable.

As for the third rig, an armor rig it will be most of time, reducing the speed to the level of the oneiros with 1600 plate.

And the sensor strength and lock range don't seem very important to you.

Oh, and this oneiros is barely capstable "all 5" too. I admit cruiser 5 is easier than logi 5, but still, you need all the associated skills to get a cap stable exequror, and the remote repair augmentor rig.

By the way, the same argument goes for logi frigates : a swarm of logi require peoples, a lot of them. A logi pilot is not shooting enemies, and shooting ennemies is the first goal of a fleet. There's no point in bringing a logi fleet if you have nobody to shoot at things.

So, to sum this up : fleet won't bring more logi, because they have a limited number of people ; this exequror *is* less effective than an oneiros, even a 3 reper one. Hence, replace oneiros or any T2 logi by a T1 one, and your fleet lose remote rep power.

We could say that this would hurt small gang warfare, but I think falcon are still better.
