This is more theory crafting than anything else, but the state of the matter is that logis are the second best slayers in the game (Medium frames > Non Medium Frames) but with a lot more utility.
That being said, I was thinking if we could just actually create more synergy with the Assault with a new Medium frame unit, a real force multiplier platform, which I have dubbed the Tactician Suit, which would operate as actual support
Like the old Crusader idea, the unit would have squad linking abilities which would increase damage and resistance to damage. The multiplier effect could then be greater on assaults or only apply to assaults, since the assault role is just that assaulting.
It would get roughly the same module count as assaults, no equipment slot, just a light weapon but every kill an assault makes would give this guy an assist, plus any kills it makes. While it wouldn't be the sexist suit out there you only need a few to benefit the large crowd with its aoe buffs.
And I don't think any rational person could defend why the tactician+assault should wipe the floor of logis as the former actual has teamwork involves and involves more people.
The other Idea is to combine the Crusader suit with the Assault suit and essentially keep the assault layout (sidearm and light weapon) but give them a squad linking ability. Meaning you would have two Assault/Support platforms with real benefits to mixing it up.
Again just a thought, don't eat me, how bad or feasible is this idea in your opinion?

To be honest, Crusaders will just wind up as another target for assault QQ. Caldari logistics used to be the one suit that could do everything better than an assault (and just about every suit) but was re-balanced months ago. These lingering nerf requests are just butthurt players looking for easy kills or have preconceived notions that logistics = white mage when in actuality it's more like logistics = red mage. A logi isn't better than an assault, just different with their own sets of strengths and weaknesses. No racial assault is better than a logi nor is any racial logi better than an assault. It's just a matter of play style and a perception of what's more popular than the other. Logistics have versatility in modules and equipment while assaults have better options when it comes to weapons, no more, no less.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

The crusader suit would be awsome!
But the easiest way to stop the Logistics QQ is to remove the assault!
All suits Assault, you can't make a suit designed for assaulting without making it OP!

The gun is mightier than both
