So, with 1.8, the standard for Dropsuit skills now seems to be trending towards the standard one role bonus per level, and also two racial role bonuses per level. Sentinels all get two separate damage resistances, Scouts all get a bonus to two separate stats, and Logis each get two different bonuses to their respective equipment. In fact it would seem that only Assaults and Commandos are stuck with the one bonus per level. Now, with Commandos, this actually makes sense to me; an argument can certainly be made that a direct damage bonus affecting multiple weapons (worth two Complex Damage Mods no less) is valuable enough to be "worth" two normal bonuses.
But I don't think anyone would call the current Assault bonuses anywhere near that useful overall. Therefore, I suggest following the new trend, and giving Assault suits a second bonus per level. Just as an idea, how about bringing back something similar to the "original" bonuses we first caught a glimpse of on Sisi way back? So something like:
Amarr: +5% to efficacy of armor plates per level.
Caldari: +5% to efficacy of shield extenders per level.
Gallente: +5% to efficacy of armor repairers per level.
Minmatar: +5% to efficacy of damage mods per level.
Of course these are more or less just my first ideas, and I'm open to suggestions.

All assault suits should say receive 20% clip size /20% bonus to bio mods / 20% rep mods
Something that makes them distinctive but not broke, its hard to define what an assault suit is with a year of tryhard logislayer abuse and now scout suits running around with more ehp than vehicles.
Define that role son.
I've actually done some work trying to define their overall role as well.

Hm, perhaps. This was more just an effort to get the ball rolling.

I'd actually prefer the extra bonuses to affect assaults passively.
Amarr +5% to base armor per lvl
Caldari +3% to base shields per lvl
Gallente +0.5 hp/s base armor repair per lvl
Minmatar - 3% shield delay and shield depleted delay per lvl
Or something like that. I tried to make each one so that it adds about a basic module (or a little more) at pro.
What do you think?
I'm not necessarily against bonuses that just directly affect base stats (although those numbers seem a little wonky). It should also be noted that I avidly believe that Assault suits should have the most module slots of any suit in the game, and think that bonuses affecting specific modules would go well with this, as they could potentially fit the highest amount of their respective module.
As for your point on the suggested Minmatar bonus, I suppose it could just as easily be a bonus to Shield Rechargers instead. I guess I just thought that Damage Mods would be a little more interesting. And from what I'm told of Minmatar ships in Eve, they have the capability to just focus and speed and damage, more or less eschewing most of their tank.
