Ok I love logi and have been looking at fits and it looks like all 4 frig logi and gal and min cruser logi can fit more tank and more anti-ewar mods cap booser fit and be more cap stable and in the case of the scimitar much faster (fit overdrives)
The cargo allows for 20min at least on all and this can make them more resilient agents newting

Why do people not do this

I'm also some 1 who like active tank scimis so I may just be crazy

The only major drawback is the crazed notion that the inventory would look so much better if merely rearranged ONE MORE TIME.

How long before you run out of cap booster charges?

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Logi fights can last quite a long time if both sides have decent amounts of logi. So in some cases you want longevity.
If you are a roaming small gang though, burst cap/tank with Cap boosters powering it isn't a silly idea. Especially if you only have 2 logi.

You go right ahead and depend on cap booster charges.

And what happens when you're out on a roam for a couple of hours? That 20 minute duration isn't even close to handling that length of time. There's no guarantee of stations to resupply from either. There's no way in hell that I'm going to tell the peeps depending on my for their very lives "Sorry guys, just ran out of booster charges. No more reps."

Once again, no thanks.

When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me. - -

Until then, I'll just sit quietly over here, minding my own business...

Not to mention it's easy to have a similar fit with 3 reps, cap stability and 70k EHP. Why would you need to bother with a fueled module which is just as hard as an LSE to fit?

if you're fighting with logi, it's not uncommon for fights to last far longer than 20minutes.

If you expect the fight to end before your cargohold is empty, then Cap booster sounds great. If you expect to roam for hours, why not have your buds carry some cap booster for you? Spread it around a little. Really, they are holding their shield reps in their cargohold. Too much to ask?

New to logi's here. Scimi is my flavor. I would expect you want to be cap stable for incursions, but again, I'm new. Please drop some logi knowledge on me, like a cap booster to my noggin.

Cap boosters on logi ships are nice to counter hostile neuts if you're flying without Amarr/Caldari logi, but I would strongly avoid making your logi fits reliant on them to operate all the time.

Most of the time I'm using 1 rep or 4 not in the middle with 1 I'm going to be cap stable no matter what and with 4 I'll be using the cbs I have also with regen once you under peac recharge your kinda scrued
Also I have a fit that may be an example of what this will help with

so you can fit 18 navy 800s in your cargo that's 9 min its of boosting most of the time I'm boosting 1/3rd of the time I'm reaping if that so that's 27min in fighting if you Rome and got more than half an hour of fighting you need to send me a corp invite becouse I whant in
Also the increase in tank alows you to rep longer becouse your not dead and have a alt in dps carry extras or a person coming back bring you more
I'm not saying this is better I'm just trying to find out how it's worce
