I disagree. What's the purpose of suit styles if you can have one build that can equip everything you want? The current specializations is designed for the player to pick a "role" that he/she wants to fulfill and grants bonuses that (theoretically) aid in that role.

Roles can still be created by alllowing suits to perform their roles.
Assault to assualt (currenlty assualt = lol)
Logistics to be logistics (currently logistics = scout, heavy, logi, slayer etc)
Heavy, 1.8 will finally bring in the heavies
Scouts will never be scouts, and should be renamed assassins.
commandos look good for 1.8 also.
Structuring WP system too reward roles for doing their job would also help, right now only really tankers and logistics are rewarded for their roles
The game is built around the concept of trade-offs--whether it's something as simple as better suits = higher cost or the advantages of having proto weaponry vs proto shields/armor/etc.--the whole point of the game is that you have to be willing to sacrifice something to get what you want. Want that proto RR? Fine...but it might mean that you can't equip proto grenades (hypothetical example.) As the player, you have to decide if the cost is outweighed by the benefit. Otherwise, you end up with a game of cookie-cutter suit layouts that only furthers the gap between new players and the veterans.
