you are giving too many slots at level STD and ADV and also at proto. I dislike the fact that logis and assaults have same slot. Logis in your opinion. I like the slots they have now.

Medium frames need more slots to regain their roles from scouts.

The current slot progression by tier is weird. Every other type of suit increments the module slot by 1 with each tier, its the mediums that have too much of a gap.

There is no reason why a logi needs more module slot than an assault. Logis sacrifice sidearm, a slight bit of base HP, and a bit of mobility to gain 2-3 more equipment slots than assaults; that's a fair trade-off without giving logis more slots than assaults. The vast majority of logis have at least 8 module slots at proto, so ts only fair that asaults have 8 at proto as well.

The Amarr medium suits having 1 less module slot than their other racial counterparts does not make sense, and is no way justified. This only happens in medium suits, not in light or heavy suits.

Given all this, I think my proposal is justified.

Given all this, I think my proposal is justified. I just want to say I like your idea, for the most part. However, using the precedent set by the Heavy Frames (I know its a new precedent, but it is one none the less) the Logi suits should have 1 less total slot (weapons, highs, lows, and equipment combined) than Assaults, as they are more specialized variant of the Medium suit (the Commando has one less total slot than the Sentinel, and the Sentinel is the more basic variant). This would give Assaults more Module slots, while Logis would still have their equipment role, but with less tank ability. This all using Proto suits as a base and working down to basic, mind you. The total number of slots, however, gets difficult. Proto Scouts have a total of 11 Slots at Proto (6 Module, 2 EQ, 1 LW, 1 SA, 1 G), so to give Mediums some edge, you would need at least 12 slots. Accounting for 4 EQ, 1 LW, 1 G on average in the new design, you have 6 module slots (same as Scouts). While this can create different layouts well enough 5/1, 4/2, 3/3, I run into a problem with Assaults. You would have 1LW, 1SA, 1G, and 1 EQ. That leaves 9 slots (with Assaults having 1 additional Total Slot), so, you only have a 5/4 4/5 split. How would people feel if the Logi, being more specialized, had 1 less slot in total than the Assault? I should probably just ask that elsewhere, and I will. Just wanted to say I liked your idea for the most part Kagehoshi. xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own... So, other Logi's back off, those are my Warpoints!
