But how could it be done without breaking the game?
The easiest would be to give them a extra grenade slot, but that could bring back the old grenade spam problem...+1(though, with the changes to hives and nanites that may not be a problem...maybe)
You could give assaults a bonus to nade damage...no.
And the hardest to implement(i would imagine) is to give the assault skill a bonus to give 1 extra grenade at level 1,3 or 5(not all levels, just 1)
I have no idea how not to break the game...

Maybe instead of that just make to if your wearing an assault suit you get an extra grenade and the fix the stats so they'll be regain monsters.
Its alright everyone, no need to worry it's just an Amarr scout :(

That might be hard to put in though, tho I agree that they should be regaining quicker.

How so I'd be passive just like a scouts profile.

Scouts don't have a passively lower profile than light frames anymore- forces us into cloaks.
I actually REALLY like the idea of assaults having high regen/low shield delay. Rewards smart play while giving assaults a specific role- constant light harassment. The traditional shocktroop job could be taken up by commandos.

Grenades? Really? Nothing about that is unique or interesting.
Assaults need a revamp with something new similar to Scouts. Giving these half-assed thought out bonuses like "maybe they'll like an extra grenade slot?" is what put them in the same position they're in right now.
Here's the issue right now: there's not enough of a disparity between what a Scout can do and what an Assault can do. The current justification that exists is "Assaults have slightly HP and an extra slot at the cost of: less CPU/PG, less speed, less stamina, worse shield regen, worse shield regen delays, worse armor rep, no unique equipment (cloak), worse scan profile/precision/radius."
A Scout can stack just as much if not more HP than an Assault normally would and yet remain faster and stealthier. This doesn't make any sense. A Scout has more CPU/PG with a better overall fitting bonus than Assaults do meaning a Scout can fit almost proto everything while not having to sacrifice a low slot for CPU/PG upgrades like Assaults often do.
The way to fix this is two ways: either nerf Scout's ability to stack HP or buff Assaults HP/innate stats. I prefer the latter honestly but that's the issue. I went Scout and my fit only has 100 less shield than my Assault but I am better in literally every way possible compared to my Assault.
Not only that, the Assault bonuses are such utter crap and they only apply to SPECIFIC weapon classes. That's another point of utter BS. I can fit my Scout or my Sentinel however I damn please and my suit bonus is still effective and awesome. What does my Assault get? 0.75s faster reload on a Rail Rifle... 25% less dispersion on a weapon that's already super accurate (not only that, you can reset your dispersion by just feathering the trigger...). Stuff like that is just worthless. There's no incentive to play an Assault. They're slow, easily visible, easily scannable, and have one of the highest downtimes of any suit because of their paltry regen.
Let me play you the song of my people!
