Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to redo the slots and PG/CPU for all the medium frames in Uprising 1.8. Expect those changes to come in a future update.

Nope. I won't agree with anything that takes away my sidearm.

how about reducing the slots to match that of the basic and assaults and buffing the hp of the logistics suits

Perhaps you could make a suggestion for a fair slot allotment across the logis then? Perhaps an argument as to why the Amarr needs a sidearm more than another slot, etc. when it'll suck at anything assault related while it lacks any sort of tanking or combat bonuses?

Because the biggest reason people specced I to it was the sidearm. It should keep it.

Another thing that kind of bothers about the Logi is the CPU/PG count. While it is inarguably neccessary for the Logi to be able to properly fill out its slots, the current dynamic also allows them to forego equipment, hence: Slayer Logi's. I think that in addition to the fitting bonus they recieve for equipment, they should also recieve a fitting penalty to non-equipment. I am, unfortunately, still a little fuzzy on how to implement this without completely gimping the suit.

It would, however, give a clear defining line between Assault and Logi suits.

Meh...the game needs High/Mid/Low-slots.

The game already has them, sort of. EVE doesn't have equipment/weapon slots. Our weapon/equipment slots are siphoned-off versions of would-be mid-slots or high-slots.

Eve does have weapon slots, all ships have turret or bay slots for fitting turrets or missile launchers, even mining barges.

Slots are not all created equal. With the TTK adjustment, sidearms are going to be a huge advantage to players. Fitting a great combo that plays with the other weaknesses is going to matter. Not having a sidearm, means you will be a sitting duck as you have to reload. This is a FPS, were the goal is, no matter your specialty is to kill the other team. Having a combo of light + sidearm is greater than 4 equipment. Even if the logi speed and hp were buffed above the assault, the assaults would be able to out tank and speed a logi if he had more slots than them. Not to mention, as we seen with the scout, with to few H/L slots (especialy with only 1 H or L slot) takes away any flexibility in fitting selections.

Equal H/L is the way to balance them. In 1.8, with the lack of ways to add damage and having a sidearm will render logi slayers useless. No need to nerf them into non existence. Considering they are just the same suit just slightly modified, they should be equal in most stats except for speed.

Is the take away supposed to be the total number of slots, or are you especially attached to the specific arrangement you've given them at the various levels?

Right, I was throwing out potential slot allocations, but having the races even and the math separating them from the assaults was the key part of the proposals.

So, you could remove those 4th equipment slots on the Minmatar/Gallente Logi to give them more slots?

You "could".

I suppose I was attempting to preserve the pre-existing scheme whereby they had made the Gallente and Minmatar the more "team-player" or "support-focused" logis. Ergo, they carry more gear, and the more "selfish" races or whatever carry slightly less. Something like that? I'm not sure exactly what their thinking was, but it seemed to be along those lines.

There's no reason you couldn't equalize the slots, but I would imagine towards 4 instead of 3 would be the more "logistics" focused sort of decision with respect to design.

I had always thought the Gallente could stand to loose the 4th equipment slot at pro to. Emphasize the Minmatar as the 'swiss army knife of logis' and the pre 1.8 gallante bonus meant they could bring in the higher-tier goods easier.

But now, with the bonus changes coming I can't say whether or not that change would be a good idea. Of course, as a Gal Logi I would rather loose an extra high slot than one of my lows (I'll need the scan range amps to help with my active-scanner role as team Scanner-bunny).
