I won't be making any more modifications to this section here; all future changes will be made directly to the Logistics Guide page itself.

Logistics Ships

Racial Specializations

Race	Armor or Shield?	Cap-Chain or Solo?
	Armor	Cap-Chain
	Shield	Cap-Chain
	Armor	Solo
	Shield	Solo

Each of the four player races specializes in the type of logistics that their ships are naturally tanked for. Caldari and Minmatar ships are ordinarily shield-tanked, and so these two races specialize in shield logistics; and Amarr and Gallente ships are typically armor-tanked, so these two races specialize in armor logistics. In addition, each race either specializes in cap-chain logistics, or not, as shown by the chart at right. It is important to note that capacitor chaining only occurs for cruisers and force auxiliaries; all frigate logistics ships, of all races, are "solo" logistics ships.

Tech I Logistics Frigates

Each of the four empire factions has a Tech I frigate dedicated to logistics, and these frigates are good starting ships for Unistas

looking to begin training into the logistics role. The bonuses for the two Tech I shield logistics frigates—the Bantam and the

Burst—are identical, as are the bonuses for the two Tech I armor logistics frigates, the Inquisitor and the Navitas. The most

common fits for the four ships are also very similar. In general, because all four hulls are short on powergrid and capacitor, the

Burst and Inquisitor are slightly favored over the other two because they have more low slots, where powergrid support and

Capacitor Power Relay modules help most, and because of advantages in speed (in the case of the Burst) and tank (Inquisitor).

Logistics frigates have the least repping power and shortest optimal range out of all the logistics ships, but they do have the advantage

of being very inexpensive and difficult to hit (like any other Tech I frigate). The charts below illustrate statistics for Tech I shield

and armor logistics frigates piloted by a typical, mid-skill Unista:
