Logistics Ck.0

Light Weapon-1
Grenade-1
Equipment-3
High Slots-4
Low Slots-3

I guess I'll give you feedback.
I don't think Assaults need to have more module slots than Logis.
Ideally, Logis have the same as Assaults.

I do like your idea of giving Assaults 'other' slots though.
I think if just this was done, Assaults would be in a good place.

I think assaults (and basic mediums) just need another equipment slot and a slightly better bonus, something like a bonus to speed or efficacy of race based modules. The Gallente assault bonus should be a reduction to the speed penalty of armout plates for example.

With a second equipment slot people will already thinking about ditching the logi in order to retain some versatility and keep their sidearm, speed and basic HP.

2) Orbital Depot Drop:
Assaults are the only unit capable of deploying new supply depots to the field. Unlike other units which can only drop small/large turret installations, the Assault suit is also capable of delivering a supply depot to ground forces nearby, this allows them to remain active no matter the circumstances, for a price.

Equipment has nothing to do with assaulting lol.
We need bonuses to tank and weapons.
and a slot layout that prioritized that.
Speed is negligible until speed tanking becomes viable. Ask minmatar users who say speed tanking is dead.
having a small higher base speed doesn't give it any advantages over a logi.

With the state blasters are in gallente might as well get a 20% damage increase since the ar's are already the lowest dps of the rifles where it should be the highest.
Or be allowed to use all hybrids.
Rails are as much a gallente weapon as caldari.
Idk why caldari assault can't have the quick logi shield delay and get a regulator bonus for shield tanking.
give it a bigger boost to regulators than the current logi

Plain and simple: assaults are offensive builds based primarily on skill. Its a true military issue style suit based on the idea of "do more with less", but with bonuses.

People rip amar assaults. Perfect the scrambler rile and the amarr assaualt with scrambler is op. The scrambler rifle has the greatest reward for skill in this game.

the minmatar has 7.43 base speed. Ever fight one on elevations? Adv assault has 3 high slots. Damage mods and sheilds with that speed is a crap suit? Thats starting scout speed. But everyone wants to be a scout? The gal adv scout has 1 less high slot and same speed.

Im gallente. I run my gal assaults like scouts and am getting 20 kills a lot. 2 high 3 low is awesome. My base hp is 412 and im getting a lot done.

Caldari assault has the same as minmatar. 3 high 2 low. How does that not work on adv?

the truth is there is a large skill gap and a low average dust IQ in this player base and it can solely be blamed frustrations based on prefference and lack of creativity. The assault is incredibly versatile. Its not all tank/dps.

Thats just sloppy. And now everyone wants to be a scout? Scouts are dead the very second some one hangs back and attentively runs perimeters.

But im going gallente assault. That is the best assault with armor regen, 25% lite weapons cpu/pg reduction and 25% sharpshooter hip fire reduction.

Ide go mimatar proto assault before scout in a heart beat. 600 sheilds with that speed? Gtfo here with assault gripes.

This combined with the bonuses to weapon fitting on assaults (think about this, you want to fit your proto assault rail rifle? Easier on an assault suit) should give assault suits the role currently taken by slayer logis, i.e. assaulting stuff.

That's just not true

Cal assault 300/60
Cal logi 350/78
Proto rail is 84/17
With assault bonus its 63/12.75
Cal assault 237/47.25
Cal logi 266/61

thats not even counting light weapons skill and optimization.
It's easier to fit a weapon on a logi than on an assault.
If you fit a sidearm to your suit your gimping your CPU and PG even more.

The 25% to weapons and sidearms is completely redundant.
It's not an advantage over logis in anyway.
In fact it's easier to fit a weapon on a logi and a scout.
there's effectively no role bonus for assault suits because that bonus is literally worthless.

In terms of fittings, logis are meant to be more versatile, that's why they have more slots. I like that idea. The trade off is that logis shouldn't be able to be fitted to be as good at assaulting as assault suits. Attributes that are helpful for assaulting are maneuverability, damage, hp and weapons.

At the moment the problems are:
Maneuverability* is less important than hp due to short TTK favoring slayer logis.
Armour tanking is currently superior due to low TTK and op damage mods, combined with logis innate armour rep further favors slayer logis.
Sidearms are less important due to low TTK. Also the proficiency changes coming in 1.8 will favor using sidearms to plug damage type shortfalls.

These issues are being resolved in 1.8.

*Can I point out that the ability to move around quickly is an advantage that many people seem to under-appreciate. Ask any scout player (such as myself) what can be achieved with high mobility. In the current realm of armor logis people seem to forget this. (I also see this phenomenon in the 1.8 heavy QQ threads).

This combined with the bonuses to weapon fitting on assaults (think about this, you want to fit your proto assault rail rifle? Easier on an assault suit) should give assault suits the role currently taken by slayer logis, i.e. assaulting stuff.

If after 1.8 people still find assault suits lacking compared to logis, assault suits should be given either more base hp or more speed/stamina. I would not agree with giving them more slots or equipment as this spoils the distinction between assaults and logis. Logis have more options, assaults have better base stats, it should stay that way.
