What is the best logi, a scimi or a basi?

[Blackbeard Antonius 2]

What is the best logi, a scimi or a basi.  I love both but recently the scimi is my preferred logi ship

[Kate Salts 20]

Yes.


P.S.
Ok, joking aside: it depends. You need both.
In HQ Basilisk are valued more since fewer pilots tend to fly them (flying one is more taxing than flying Scimi or Loki), but in VG we only use Scimi, so there is that.
So asking which is better is kind of silly.

Pretty much what Kate said, except asking questions is never silly

Well, fair point

Welp, I voted, blank - 
Lokis is the "best" Logi.

But then again, you can't run a HQ Fleet without Basi's
So if your going for one, go for Basi first, then crosstrain to Scimi.

Scimitar looks like a stickbug.

I agree with Kate. (I know; I was shocked, too.)

It's a bit analogous to asking what's better: water or beer? The answer entirely depends upon the context. If you want to host a party, I'd say "beer". But if you're trying to put out a forest fire, I'd have to go with "water".

Since this question is usually posed by folks considering getting into logistics (and trying to decide which to start with), and since Blackbeard says they already have both ships, I kinda want to know what the purpose is for them posing the question.

Lovely, Fly more with me and we'll make sure to get you in shape for trsuted so you can apply for t3 badge

[Butella Usoko 5]

Cant take a Logi poll serious without a Loki cause Loki are the best. 

But personally i rly like a Basi more then a Scimi

So i need trusted logi to get the t3, nice i will need to fly more often then 

[Butella Usoko 5]

If you need help or have any questions just ask one of our Command Core Members. They should be all capable Logi Pilots.

Otherwise yeah be in Fleets and you will get recogniced one day that you are capable as a logi pilot

Sometimes pilots don't understand why WTM requires "Trusted Logi" badge to fly the Loki. The reason is because the Loki is counted as one-and-a-half logistics ships (or more if it's a pilot with Savior implants).That means that a bad logi pilot who is in a Loki could be even more catastrophic to the fleet than a bad logi pilot in a Basi or Scimi. So when people ask "what do I need to do to get Trusted Logi?", they generally get a response like "impress us". That isn't WTM being snooty. It means literally "show us that you're not merely 'adequate' at logi, but that you really are good at logi".

Nice I always wondered how it works, it is so true

[Devin Darastrixgix 5]

like others have said, I enjoy the Scimi, and prefer to fly my Loki, you legitimately cannot run a fleet without a Basi hence why I think so many people are voting "Basi" as the better logi ship. 

There's not a bigger rush than slamming 8 reps on a hard switch in a TCRC and watching your target go from low HP to full instantly.

Try overheating AB to burn towards an out-of-position Marauder who's drawn aggro. And you're the only logi even vaguely getting close to "in range". Pucker factor.
