Just to point out what others have mentioned in other threads:
The Gal bonus is incredibly exclusive for Gal weapons. What dispersion does the Plasma Cannon have? Why would a shotgunner want *less* spread?
And Caldari Assaults should get a reduction to spool up time, while all caldari weapons get a higher base spool up time. The laser rifle and scrambler rifle are balanced around heat damage and heat build up. So their bonus (while I think it should be toned down just a tad) makes them able to use weapons designed by their (false) god better. Similarly, Caldari weapons are balanced around spool up time, so the Caldari should get a bonus to that in order for them to maximize their weapons.
Gal assaults could get an (very slight) increased dispersion and (moderate) ROF bonus - that way in CQC they will spit out more bullets in a wider area, giving them a small "cone" of DPS, like an HMG

Amarr - Same
Minmitar - Same
Caldari - 5% reduction to spool-up time per level, 3% accuracy bonus while ADS per level
Galente - 1% increase to dispersion per level, 3% rate of fire increase per level (For PLC, this means a larger projectile/splash radii)
- Increase rifle kick for all weapons moderately, slightly for Caldari
- Increase rifle dispersion for all weapons moderately, (very) slightly for Galente
- Decrease hipfire accuracy for all weapons moderately, slightly for Amarr
- Decrease all weapon ammo slightly, none for minmitar
Instead of falling victim to power creep, we should just lower the normal, non-specialized stats and keep the planned changes the same.

Min Assault bonus looks less controversial than a blanket bonus to damage mods, and increasing the clip size on their bullet guzzlers is always good.
The Amarr Assault bonus is why I didn't want to have that suit as my own (If I want to use a weapon it can kill me then I want it to be able to!) but many Amarr players wanted it so I'll keep the LR on my GalScout. We can agree to disagree.
Caldari AssaultGǪreload speed? On a weapon that is marketed as a high range, Full auto? Eh, it makes more sense than reduction of spool-time (unless you give larger spool time to the rail, or turn all snipers into charge variants). All Caldari tech is ranged beasts, so getting a bonus to range would have to be accompanied by a base range nerf.
1) Still don't understand why anyone would want a shotgun that did damage to a more narrow area in CQC - the area it's supposed to excel in
2) Agreed
3) We already got rid of sharpshooter, and we're (hopefully) getting rid of Proficiency being a damage booster. There shouldn't be skills that increase your damage or range just because you have more SP. That should all come from mods
