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. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

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 Things are only impossible until they are not. |

Haven't had a chance to use the new logis as much as I'd like to. But have seen other people use them, love seeing more people using logistics / E-War. Force multipliers  |

don't mind him , i do not think he has any clue what a logi is actually used for , gankers have no use for them , so why should they even bother to even train them, pretty boring ships if you would adk HIM I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it......

The only problem I see with this is the effect it has on solo players/very small gangs, duo's and trios lose a lot of DPS/tackler/scouter to bring a Logi and well, the solo player does not have either of them.
So the ability to have even the most low skillpoint pilot hop into a logi is effectively another way of killing solo pvp, much like anyone with caladari cruiser 3 can jump into a blackbird and fit it all with specific jammers, taking SP investment and real skill completely out of the equation.
ASB's is a good example of a solo pvp killer, was fine when no one was using them but when everyone starts to use them, the solo player starts to struggle when it comes to killing things in a timely fasion.
However, defo good job on it CCP, Aquila have had a few t1 cruiser roams that have been awesome, wish we could encourage more of it. |

Which, by the way, your post is really confusing. You're complaining about CCP killing off solo and small group play, and then congratulating them for the changes they've made? Is it sarcasm or are you saying good on them for understanding that groups shoudl be thier priority and not the solo pvper?
In fact, Why is it that EVE more than any other MMO revolves around groups of individuals; yet people complain whenever CCP does things that don't prop up the solo player. You think those people would have figured out by now that CCP isn't interested in catering to you guys, but to those people that actually participate in the wider game and actually play with others.
As if no one can see what happens when the largest MMO on the market continually caters to the solo player. WoW contiually gained subscribers when it catered to group and raid gameplay. As soon as they gave every person access to the same content though a Q, millions of people started to move to other games.
You would think the players and more developers would have put two and two together and figured out by now that most people actually want to play MMO's for the group dynamics.
if we wanted to play a game that revolved and catered to the solo player, we'd fire up a SINGLE PLAYER game.
I'm glad CCP gets that and isn't catering to the solo guys. |

I love it when people mention solo pvp and people instantly think you want to play a single player game, what am I shooting myself you idiot?
I am shooting the other various gangs flying around, I play for the group dynamic but when no one is around what am I going to do? log off and wait for my blob to log in or take the fight solo? If CCP manages to kill solo pvp A LOT of players will be logging off when the TZ switches over due to inactivity, people do not seem to see the issue with this.
I am congratulating them for actually balancing clearly broken ships? are you thick? just because I have a view of how this will effect a certain aspect of the game does not mean I am dissin' the changes, this WILL effect solo pvp as it will become harder for solo'ers to attack smaller gangs if they have t1 logis that are widely available to many players of many SP levels. |

I don't know. I feel like T2 Logistics are lacking in the range bonus when comparing them to T1, and that HACs are now in a pretty bad place. Only slightly better than T1, and significantly worse than their T3 counterparts. |

Only slightly better than T1, and significantly worse than their T3 counterparts. Well yes, HACs are a completely different kettle of fish and they've had their specialisation usurped by the T3s. Getting that fixed will require T3s to be scaled back rather significantly and having the HACs gain a bit more bite. As the for Logis' range bonus, I'd say it's decent enough. Again, it's strictly better than the T1 without being silly (and making it silly wouldn't necessarily be worth-while anyway since you'd still want to be kind of close to the fleet you're supporting).

Yeah, I'm an idiot.
Ps: if it was obvious, the first part pointing out the confusion of what you wrote was directed at you. The giant gap between the rest of what I wrote meant I wasn't actually addressing that part towards you.

It's the same reasoning behind Arenas being so popular in WoW, and the constant screaming for arenas in this game, as well as the incessent whining about blobs (a blob of course being defined as them having more people than us)

honestly, t2 logis just need a minor rebalancing, maybe increasing the hp on their non primary buffer? (shield on oneiros, armor on scimi) that way their ehp goes up, but they don't become unkillable under heavy reps.
another way of buffing them would be to allow them to have an extra midslot, for eccm/links even on gang scenarios, i haven't flown a linked oneiros in years on pvp, only on pve.
maybe making the extra mids only be able to fit links?
new links like a resist bonus ship to ship link?
idk, i feel that if the diff between t1 and t2 shouldn't just be more hp and more reps, there needs to be something more... maybe a custom UI only on t2 ships allowing for a much better control of gang reps? |
