Hi,

I've got a quick question about security status and logistics in low sec piracy (fw mosly).

If i attack a ship that has positive sec status, i understand that i loose some sec status just by engaging it.
But, does the logi repping me loose some aswell ?

Don't worry about it.
It's not gonna matter if it's positive or negative status when it comes to low sec pew.

In low sec your logi is simply a free, extra kill mail that won't shoot back.


+ Logi is primary so you'll rarely have anything to rep to worry about losing standing from before you explode.

So you are saying that logi (frigate for that case) are worthless even in a small gang where we have a dedicated fregaceptor, some ewar and some dps ? (a bit off topic but nvm)

Many of the people you will be fighting have done small gang warfare for a while so they know what ships to take off the field 1st.


In your case - I would primary the Logi while one person burns away to kill/push the ECM off field. (Or a sniper kills the ECM from warpin/wherevs.)

People who have not faced logi in small gangs will make some mistakes when calling targets and your plan will work well.


However - after a few goes - they will wise up and just take the easy to kill force multipliers off the field 1st - Which are Logi and ECM.

Logistics inherit the flags of the ships they're repping so in low-sec if you rep someone who has a suspect or criminal flag then you will get one as well, including the corresponding sec status hit.
