Quick question to the group...
How do you square the role of the assault and the role of the Commando?
Many posts in the thread indicate that some better overall stats and a DPS related bonus of some type are the way to go. Not disagreeing with you, my question is how you balance with the Commando suit and it's role and perks?

Not disagreeing with you, my question is how you balance with the Commando suit and it's role and perks? I like the Commando where its at. The fact that it might share some bonuses with the assault does not diminish either's role as their other attributes does that for them. The Commando is the swiss army knife of the battlefield while the assault is a much more focused role. As a front line fighter it needs to have some tank, some speed and good dps. The Commando's role is to provide some variability to the squad should situations change. It is the stopgap to a possible weakness.
Interesting interpretation, Canari.
I would have viewed the Assault as more of the "swiss army knife" with the slot combos and options. The ugly think is the frame suits should probably be the "adaptable" suit more than any of them.

That might be legit.
If you gave the CDO the light weapon cpu/pg reduction and added a racial weapon perk, and perhaps an extra high, low , or equipment slot and I think you are on to it. Then Assaults get reload and racial damage bonus....very fitting.

Good discussion to all.
I think that having the Assault suit bonues suite mix DPS / Defensive related perks is the way to go. That one point I would offer that diverges from Pokey's concept is that I would prefer to adjust base values of the suit rather than targeting perks to specific modules. I undestand the logic, it's simiilar to how the approach with weapons based bonuses are addressed.
Additionally, I think we might want to look at going away from "tech tags" and more to "racial tags".
Example - CalAssault would get bonuses applied to rail rifle / MagSec AND the swarm launcher.
