As stated in Skype, I'm against this for a number of reasons.

Assault suits, as describe, are about versatility and the new bonuses (reduction in PG/CPU to weaponry) go a long way to hallmark on that. IMO, the Assault suit, given it's high slot count and general freedom of fitting, is more applicable to be fit the way the player wants. A jack of all trades.

The problem that I see with regenerative bonuses are on two aspects:

1.) Passive regeneration (shield or armor) built into the suit. This is a problem because it then opens up the fitting for the player to fit more extenders or plates, relying on the passive regeneration which gets compounded when logistics support is involved but is sufficient even without it. Their base durability hallmarks this and given their slot layouts we could very quickly see suits that have very high HP and no drawbacks toward regeneration.

2.) Specific regeneration in the form of a bonus applied to modules. This is a problem because it then forces the player to fit a certain way in order to get the maximum efficiency out of their suit, turning away from versatility. Passing up on this in order to get more buffer negates the bonus entirely.

That being said, this proposal teeters on the fence between too focused and too overbearing. We're moving away from specific bonuses as we can see with the Sentinels and Commandos, both of which hallmarking on a broad spectrum (Sentinels passively resisting damage and Commandos focusing on their racial weaponry). This would also be more of a bonus to shield tankers rather than armor tankers, given armor repairing's propensity for glacial speeds.

Complain as some may, what the Assault suit needs is a broad spectrum bonus and I think that the weaponry bonuses that they received (Minmatar clip size as an example) was the best way to go because it focuses on their racial strengths as well as leaving them open to fit how the player wants. The Gallente Assault bonus is the only misnomer here.
