So you want to punish logi's for "failing" to save the friendly? And where is the punishment of the 1000's DPS ships who "failed" to kill the enemies?
This is kinda BS imo.
And yes, KM *is* the kind of recognition logi pilot want because is the only recognition that everyone accepts and it's the only recognition every single pvp corp / alliance / coalition judges players with and that's their killboard. And if your killboard is crap cuz you're a logi, good luck trying to prove you are not an elephant. (and I don't say that because I'm full time logi and I have crappy KB, my KB is fine, thx).
And no, Iogi's don't want to curry warrior IIs, 1 smartbone and they're gone. And no they don't want to curry 1 sentry, one warp out and it's gone. It's not that logi ships have the drone bay of drone boats. And not much you can do when all the dmg take place outside of your drone control range cuz hey, you won't be fitting those logi high slots with drone link augmentors now, would you?
So give the logi's the recognition they deserve and give them in the KMs, imo.
Logi pilots in B-R or HED or w/e have no proof they ever existed.
They can't say "I was there".
There's no recognition of their pvp activity besides the paplink that some FCs don't eve give and frankly noone cares about.
Also, there''s no "you are a logi, you care about rep-ing yoru teammates, why do you wanna KM *****"? This is invalid. Logi pilots, the second they enter the logi ship they have nothing to prove about caring for their teammates. Entering the logi ship is proof enough. So, it's not about KM *****-ing, it's about the recognition everyone else gets but the logi pilots.
My 2 cents. |
