On Grid Episode 3: Logistics

Overheat your nanites and prelock your FC because On Grid is back! There has been a LOT going on in EVE in recent weeks, but instead of drilling into Engineering Platforms we have decided to step away to discuss an important role Alpha clones can fill: Logistics.

Logistics are key to many fleet comps, and a powerful force multipier in the game. The Alliance Tournament has showcased not only the value, but also difficulty of flying of these ships.
