Woohoo, Tech 1 logistics cruisers are pretty competitive. CCP has vastly lowered the entry barrier to the much neglected logistics profession and made it possible to get even relatively new players into effective logistics ships for small gangs.
How does the Exequeror compare to the Oneiros? Well it costs about 1/5th the price fully fit, reps less, and has a worse resist profile. The lower resist profile seems to be the biggest obstacle for the ship, but this makes sense.
I personally declare the tech 1 logi cruisers to be balanced with tech 2. Based on our roams I'd wager they're about half as good as their big brothers but at a lower cost.
Now its time to think about the future. Although for CTA fleets I will still be preferring my logi pilots in a Guardian or Oneiros I will be able to spam lower end logistics as well, these ships are an excellent way refreshing pvp in lo sec. Not to mention it allows us to utilize newer players for logistics without them having to get a cruiser skill to 5.
CCP has made fights last longer, which is always a good thing. I'd also bet CCP has made more groups willing to roam, since they won't risk as much ISK. Lets face it, if the most expensive ship in your roam is also the healer you might have a problem
Good work CCP, looking forward to what you do to Battlecruisers and Battleships. I personally would like to see the Marauder rebalanced to be more useful.

Logi in lo sec roams is nothing new for me or my peeps.
All my roams have at least 2 logi pilots no matter how large they are, this greatly increases the variety of fights we can get into and lets us fly buffer armor tanked ships more easily (free field repairs). Logistics is one of the few force multipliers that allows a relatively small gang to fight a bigger one, or allows someone to survive being primaried in blob warfare. CCP has just made it even more cost effective to do now.
Besides, we have to bring logistics because the enemy does. Its like some kinds of arms race

I was hoping personally they'd give the bellicose some kind of web bonus, even like a role bonus of 50% web range. Oh well.
