Logistic ships in Eve Online are designed to remotely repair friendly ships. They can be used both in PvE and PvP fleets. They require a fair amount of training and thus are usually out of reach for most young combat pilots who will focus more on damage dealing ships in their early careers.

Logistic ships in Eve Online are designed to remotely repair friendly ships. They can be used both in PvE and PvP fleets. They require a fair amount of training and thus are usually out of reach for most young combat pilots who will focus more on damage dealing ships in their early careers.

~~Each of the four empire factions have their own~~ logistic ~~ship. The Amarr have the Guardian, the Caldari have the Basilisk, the Gallente have the Oneiros~~, and ~~the Minmatar have the Scimitar. The Basilisk~~ and ~~Scimitar have a shield transfer bonus, while the Guardian and Oneiros have an armor transfer bonus~~.

There are two shield and two armor logistic ships, and each of these ships belongs to one of two categories: dual logistics and solo logistics.

These ships are based on T1 cruiser hulls: the Augoror (Amarr; hit point and cap transfer bonus), the Osprey (caldari; mining and shield transfer bonus), Exequror (Gallente; cargo and armor transfer bonus), and Scythe (Minmatar; mining and tracking link bonus). This article will only discuss the proper T2 Logistics, not the T1 base hulls.

~~Two of the Logistic ships, the~~ Guardian and Basilisk, ~~have an energy~~ transfer ~~range~~ and ~~cap bonus in addition to their remote armor/shield bonus. They~~ are ~~most often used~~ with ~~four~~ remote ~~armor~~/shield ~~modules and two energy~~ transfer modules. A cap ~~chain between pilots is set up to insure that all pilots give~~ and ~~receive cap in the chain~~ to ~~sustain~~ their cap ~~indefinitely even~~ with ~~all reps running~~.

* Dual Logistics: Guardian and Basilisk: Dual logistic ships have five high slots, recieve a bonus to cap transfer modules and are best fitted with large remote repair / large shield transfer modules. They are not cap stable by themselves and have to utilize their cap transfer abilities with another logi ship to perma run their repair modules (hence dual logistics). They are best utilized in large fleet engagements repping battle cruiser and battle ship sized friendlis.

~~The other two~~ Logistics ~~ships~~, ~~the Oneiros and Scimitar~~, ~~have~~ a ~~tracking link range and efficiency~~ bonus ~~in addition~~ to ~~their remote armor/shield bonus. Although many fittings skip the~~ tracking links in ~~mids~~ for ~~ECCM, cap modules,~~ and~~/or shield tank~~.

* Silo Logistics: Scimitar and Onieros Solo logistics ship have a more balanced midslot layout, less powergrid, but significantly higher capacitor potential. They also recieve a bonus to tracking links, potentially increasing effective DPS on fleet targets. They are best utilized in small skirmish fleets fitted with medium repair modules for use on frigate and cruiser sized ships where the smaller sig radius helps compensate for lower repping power.
