Basic Medium => Logistics
+2~4 equipment slots
+1~2 module slots
+CPU/PG
+1HP/s per level suit bonus
+1 racial bonus
-Base stats
-Sidearm (except Amarr logi)
Basic Medium => Assault
+5% shield recharge rate per level suit bonus
+1 racial bonus
Does anyone else see anything wrong with this? This was never an assault vs logi issue, but assault vs basic medium frames. All you really get from skilling from a basic frame to an assault is a shield bonus (that's useless on 2 suits) and a racial bonus. Instead, the jump from basic medium to assault should look something like this:
Basic Medium => Assault
+25% base shield or armor (depends on race)
+25% base shield recharge rate for all suits (instead of the bonus)
+CPU or PG (depending on race)
+Base stamina
+Base movement or sprint speed (depends on race)
-25% CPU/PG fitting cost to weapons and weapon mods. (Change Gallente assault bonus to +plate efficacy or -movement penalty to mirror the Caldari assault)
This would be a good start on making assaults more attractive compared to logistics because you actually get something aside from 2 bonuses you might not really use and a white coat of paint. At the same time, this reinforces the assault suit's strengths compared to logistics by making them less module reliant, allowing them to fit stuff like damage mods without having to give up HP and more offensive based by allowing them to fit better weapons.

I've always been opposed to passive damage bonuses. At least with damage mods, you have to give something up.

The assault need equal amount of slots as a logi, but only one equipment slot.
This would mean assaults become more versatile in combat than logis.
Or the other way would be equally good: nerf logi high/low slots to have equal amount of slots as the basic frame, but in a different configuration.
You seem to have missed the point entirely. This isn't an assault vs logi topic, it's assault vs medium frame. Assaults aren't attractive enough to skill into because you barely get anything.
