Assault suits already have 1 equipment slot, I'm assuming you're suggesting to remove it.

About the Logistic armors, your idea is not that bad IF you give them high starting stat's: right now even PRO suits have Shield and Armor ranging from 90 to 180 HP: if you prevent them from increasing their HP they'll become totally useless since even a MLT AR will tear them apart.
If you let them have, for example, Shield/Armor HP ranging from 250 to 300 then we can talk about this.

remove and rebalance some slots on suits and add them back as utility slots. then remove all modules that could be deemed as utility such as hacking, damage mods etc and place these in the utility section for fittings.

at the moment i'm getting tired of this whole assault logi argument. it is completely screwing over dedicated logis who do nothing wrong.

this simple but effective fix would put offending items into a separate class and reduce the fitting options on those suits. scouts would have high utility slot count followed by assault then commandos and heavies then logis would be lowest.

now logis can run high ehp as normal and actually survive more than a few secs and assaults can fit more damage or more tank as they see fit or a bit of both

scouts become strong utility users, assaults become better killers and logis become less good at killing

so basicly logis have more equipment and less utility. their direct opposite i.e the assault would receive more utility and less equipment

EDIT:

with this they can both potentially meet balanced to a degree in the middle but they can only excel in 1 direction. logis would excel at equipment and assaults at dps/utility

This is why scout suits are doing so poorly, logistics should be what the name implies logistics.

Logistics: Indirectly increasing the combat effectiveness of your team aka what the word means:

Merriam-Webster says, "the things that must be done to plan and organize a complicated activity or event that involves many people."

Scouts should be the ones primarily concerned with hacking and dampeners and scanners. Assaults should be primarily concerned with ehp and damage mods.

Logi suits break the current meta by being adaptable to all three roles. That's why CCP is reworking them.

Edit: Yes you can use whatever you can fit to your suit, IE hacking logis, heavies, scouts, or assault suits, but a certain suit should be the most optimal. Right now, logis can outclass scouts and assaults with their superior high and low slot counts and higher PG/CPU. The logis potential that can't be touched by the other classes is their higher equipment slots. If they just lowered their high and low slot counts they could even return their side arms to the gal/cal/minnie logis as long as they just make sure they can't use scout roles and assault roles better than scout roles and assault roles. Scout and Assaults can't carry multiple equipments, so why can Logis have higher ehp/damage mods or more hacking/damp/scanning?

Edit 2: As to the remove scout and assault equipment's entirely logis get more slots, that doesn't mean they only get those slots. Following that logic then logis should have a sidearm only.

Check the suits stats for 1.8 they will fix the assault logi thing. Assault suits will have HP buff. There will be no point in running a assault logi.

hacking,
damage mods, (not the melee one)
dampners,
scan range.
cpu/pg
etc

umm maybe they should be enhancement slots and enhancement modules

tank wize everyone would have potentially the same tank fitting potential but dependant on utility and equipment this would reduce /increase that potential. for logis it would be the equipment and for everyone else it would be utility that reduces their tank potential. depending on how they wanted to work it

Although you seem to be interested in balancing things, I will take this opportunity to point out to you that the way it is now we are able to pick to tank or run electronic tanks (damps and scan mods) or run gank (bottles and damage mods) or dual tank or even a combination of any of the above quite easily. Where is there a benefit to what you propose? Atm we have the ability to make a decision which slots are "utility" and which are not, so I would say the current system works quite well. Besides, not all players use what you term utility mods so how do you take their wishes into account with your proposal?

this will limit the capabilities of all drop suites !!! How much utility slots should who suite have??? how much CPU/PG??? I personally like that you don't have to skill in to allot of suites to change your game style using the " utility " modules.
