DUST Search - Should the Minmatar have an extra module slot?

Chunky Munkey wrote:

The Amarr give up slot count & movement in favour of higher fitting capacity, higher stamina, and most importantly much greater health.

It occurs to me that this exchange is not balanced when reversed for the Minmatar.
They give up health & stamina for speed. That's it. Not to mention their abysmal shield stats.

If we take the stamina/speed tradeoffs out of the equation, then really the Minmatar are just giving up health. If the Amarr can trade a module slot for health, why not have the Minmatar do the same?

I see many on the forums who feel that the Minmatar really don't compete to the same standard other suits can, and from personal experience I can say that my best K/D performances come from my Amarr fittings not the Minatar ones.

When it comes to fitting, I can't find a particularly effective Minmatar that doesn't require a fitting upgrade. The one I made that doesn't is a proto with standard weapons.

I think an extra low slot on the Minmatar suits is just what they need. Their specialisation bonuses are incredibly enjoyable, but the suits themselves just don't pack the punch I'd like.

TL:DR
Amarr lose a slot, and get more health.
Minmatar just lose health.
It's not fair

TL:DR Amarr lose a slot, and get more health. Minmatar just lose health. It's not fair Actually, the Amarr only have 30 more HP than Gal and Cal meds.So its not a MASSIVE HP difference.(at least not without passives) The minmatar gives up HP for both SPEED AND STAMINA. The Min has more stamina than standard Med Frames Cal & Gal. just not as much as the Amarr. The Minmatar assault is a Med frame with Damage/shield stacking capacity and Scout level speed.Not to mention the ONLY armor that has innate armor repair (1Hp-Sec, with 1 basic/enhanced reactive plate you have a decen 2 Hp per sec armor rep at no speed cost and have increased HP! :3) The Minmatar assault is more like an Assault SCOUT. Its not for direct engagements as the gallente and amarr and its not designed for long ranged combat like the caldari med. Its a Med frame designed for CQ combat. Fast paced. Deadly.... The Minmatar assault is FINE. Its a great suit. It just needs more shield Regen per sec, maybe a little more CPU,but thats it.

I'm not calling for a change to Amarr suits. No.

Reducing variety in the game is not a good idea. If your only argument is that another game does it, don't bother. No.
