There would be no need to weaken the rep strength of a dual rep logi. It would either have the flexability to specialize one way or the other using all of its available slots and equal an already specialized existing logi (though probably lacking whatever the secondary bonus the dedicated logis have), or it would split it's ability between the two and be less effective on either one.

Much as a ship with split weapon bonuses, unless those bonuses are doubled as has been done on some minmatar hulls, the splitting itself is a weakness.

It's not a bad idea. It may not be optimal for organized and dedicated fleets, but EVE is a big game and there should be room in the sandbox for more casual playstyles to be supported and flourish if they can.

THIS

it's not about doing things right, or for maximum efficiency.

Heck, the entire concept of right / correct fittings is an OPINION, based on what is at best the perception of what is most efficient.

That has little to nothing to do with fun. Some of us want to just have fun, not compare excel sheets...

or instead of having shield and armor bonuses on the same ship just make them rep hull instead!!

The problem that I'm seeing is that a mixed shield/armor logistics would be harder to fly than a single repair type logistics, since you would have to choose what to repair someone with instead of just sending reps their way once they broadcast for it/yell on TS/start taking damage.

I think you can do what you want to do already. Have two squads. One for shield tankers and one for armor tankers. Have two logistics cruiser pilots. One in an Exequror and one in a Scythe. The Exequror should repair armor and try to tank shield and the Scythe repair shield and tank armor. The Exequror pilot should put the Scythe and the Armor squad on their watch list and the Scythe should put the shield squad and the Exequror on their watch list.

If you can fill more than two squads you need to implement some doctrine. At least enough doctrine to decide what the fleet is tanking.

After reading page 1 I was about to post the same suggestion. +1 Gawain



SOE Logi should have bonus to sheild & armor repair bots ... no?

Hull repper for the win, in my opinion.

Also, keep in mind this is a kitchen sink scenario being discussed. This hull repping logi needs to be just as easily, if not more accessible, than current logi.
SOE ships have the perception of being more difficult to get.
A rare ship being needed to salvage the fun for a quickie fleet seems a weak solution.

agree with all that, except possibly for the hull repper. I gave it some thought: hull is pretty thin and can't be resist boosted beyond a DC to my knowledge, and leaves zero room for error. As a logi I'd rather stick to standard shield or armor boostage.

You are suggesting that order be established, exactly where it has been pointed out such order is not an option.

Order has already been established by the very act of bringing a logistics ship to start with.
For your logistics ship to be useful you need three things, repairable ships, pilots who will broadcast for reps, and another logistics ship.

If people bring untanked cruisers kitted for speed and ECM, no amount of logistics will save them if they are primaried and tackled. Their fit might be good, but you have to tell people to bring repairable ships if you want your fleet to succeed.

If people don't broadcast for reps and the logistics pilots don't see them taking damage than those people will go down. People need to be taught to broadcast for reps. If you're going to teach people to broadcast for reps you can also teach them to fit for particular types of fleets.

If you only have one logistics ship, that ship will be primaried as soon as it wanders into range and it will go down. Then you have no logistics ships. If you are already requiring one person to fly a particular setup, you may as well require others to do so too.

You don't need to go full ****** and tell people to fit exactly X modules on Y ship that must be trained to level V and wear Z implants and carry exactly A,00 rounds of N ammo, W drone II's, and drink C beers, from D country before going out under threat of the FC podding them himself. But you do need to impose some order for logistics to be useful. No possible ship will change that.

Order has been established by the presence of a logi? Not necessarily at all.
It simply means one of the pilots had the needed skills, and guessed that they would be more useful in bringing the logi instead of more DPS.
...
This fleet is a disorganized, fly by the seat of your pants, and shoot from the hip thrill ride. Only the very naive seriously expect to survive, the logi is there to give them a slightly longer rush of combat chaos.

It really is just for fun. Undock, and leave the rules behind, for we all die tonight.

So much bitter vet whining.

Id think a Minmatar ship would fit this idea the best (considering they are shield + armor tankers). Doesn't make much sense to make it an expensive faction ship. Id say change the tech one minmatar logi.

bring shield logi
everyone benefits from reps
hooray!
