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 exists 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 (using Tech-I-modified [http://fleet-up.com/Fitting/Index Fleet-Up fits] as a model) piloted by a typical, low-skill Unista:

As these tables show, a Tech I logistics frigate can repair the damage caused by one or two opponents at most, at short range. In addition, shield logistics frigates operate in falloff (because they have such short optimal ranges), and so they can almost never apply their full repair capacity. Pilots with poor capacitor skills, or low skills in the appropriate racial frigate skill or in [[Skills:Shields#Shield_Emission_Systems|Shield Emissions Systems]] or [[Skills:Armor#Remote_Armor_Repair_Systems|Remote Armor Repair Systems]], will have trouble with capacitor even if they use all "Enduring" meta versions of all active modules. For a freshman Unista, as a result, Tech I logistics frigates demand higher skills than analogous Tech I EWAR or tackle frigates.
 
 
 
Nevertheless, there are a few roles that Tech I logistics frigates fill better than any other ship. Logistics frigates are better than logistics cruisers in gangs of [[Tactical_Destroyer#Tech_3_Destroyers|Tactical Destroyer]] and [[Assault Frigate]] damage dealers, because they have the speed to keep up. And the [[Inquisitor]] (along with the [[Deacon]], described in the next section) is the preferred repair ship for small-ship wormhole PvE. In general, however, logistics pilots fly cruisers much more often than frigates.
 
 
 
===Tech II Logistics Frigates===
 
 
 
In the Frostline patch of Dec 2015, CCP introduced a new ship class: the Tech II logistics frigate. Tech II logistics frigates were designed to improve on their Tech I counterparts in a number of ways. They have considerably more CPU and powergrid, and one more fitting slot, relative to the Tech I frigates above. Tech II logistics frigates also have some unique bonuses relative to Tech I frigates:
