My take on the idea:
Make them with a good tech II resist profile and covert ops, and give them the same slot layout as tech I logi frigates + 1 high. Use the same same basic bonuses as the tech 1 logi frigates, except perhaps a bit more range. It violates the "specialist" nature of Tech II ships, but it allows it to either be a covert logistics ship fitting 3 transporters and a cloak, or it can be a 4x remote rep frigate with assault frigate gangs.
Make them look awesome and enjoy the frigate gang killmails that pour in. I think its great other than the covert ops I think the specialization rule is critical to keeping everything as stable as possible, x4 reps .... Logi Swarm!!!! I guess I should have said that I was looking at covert ops because currently there's no covert ops logi ship, and I think that really hurts the use of anything that isn't a stealth bomber. If there was some kind of logi support I think the other non-stealth bomber covert ops ships would see more use.
T3's can serve as very effective and potent covert logi ships. There biggest issue, however, is they lack range. Their reps go 6-9 km's, and that's a bit too short (when you cyno in, you could easily be 10 km's from your fleet mate). A long time ago I proposed a slight tweak to their subsystems to give the t3 logistics ships improved range to remote reps, ideally providing something akin to a 15-25 km range on reps. That way they are limited enough as to not overwhelm the logistics cruiser role, but effective enough to bring through a covert cyno.
As for the t2 logi frigate... I really don't think this is needed, as the t1 version does an excellent job fulfilling this role already! I honestly don't see adding more RR to this game as a good thing!!! |

That is a good name:
I suppose a t2 logi frigate would be alright as long as it wasn't a "straight improvement" over the t1. Give it better resists, and lower sig, so it is much harder to kill. Give it about the same repping power. But make it easy to jam, or easy to damp into ineffectiveness, or easy to neut out.
