Also, the encouragement of specialization in the Logi suits is a welcome one. It further defines racial preferences and roles, and creating more specialization is always more preferable to homogenization.
One question, though: why didn't you guys create a role bonus for Assault suits that gives ~15-20% damage bonus to light weapons, then nerf all light weapons (base amounts) by 15-20%? That'd really emphasize Assault suit use as the primary slayers and seriously curb slayer logis. It'd also help curtail the use of heavy suits running around with light weapons, as is the case so rampantly now.
What you're describing is the bonus given to Commandos...might breath some new life into them as slayers.

If you are scanned successfully and then activate your cloak, which would put you under the scan precision of the person who scanned you, do you disappear? Meleeing while cloaked will cause you to decloak, even if you miss your target. I really think this is a mistake to let them do that. Looks like all the guys practicing melee with maxed out hand-to-hand combat skills maxed are gonna get their dream come true. What about throwing grenades? Especially Flux Grenades, Can I flux the REs off a point before I hack it? or do I have to decloak, flux, cloak, hack?
My understanding is that act of throwing the grenade will decloack you so...you cloak up and are standing still getting your Predator on, see a couple guys move in for the hack, add Thuker Contact grenade to the mix, giggle, move back a bit to let your cloack recharge, cloak up, move in and MagSec the Valiant Starter Medic trying to needle his teamates.
Yesss...my preciousss...
