Maybe, with all of these changes that the suits have gone through, CCP was right on their original suit bonus plan. Right now assault suits are curled up twitching on the bottom of the heap. CCP's original bonus for assault suits was to give them a bonus to their races weapon ROF. The Minmatar would obviously benefit the most from this if it were a percentage bump, but they are supposed to be a fast low-health/high-DPS class anyway. With some slight tweaking to bring the AR up to speed and reign in the CR, this bonus would have kept the assault suit off the scrap heap.
You think maybe we should have gone with the original bonuses or do you think we were right to ask for the fitting cost bonus? I'm conflicted...

That is encouraging news, thanks for the update IWS. o7 Any word on what ideas are being passed around for the commando or is that still completely up in the air?

So are we talking simply adding the second light weapon to the medium assault suit or an overhaul that removes grenade or equipment?
They better not lay a FINGER on my Butterfinger!

So minmatar finally gets a decent suit and they take it away? Yes. Because you guys are filthy slaves and/or tribal scum. But seriously, only one suit? All the Min Heavies I know swear by the thing, and I know a couple of guys that are very happy with the current incarnation of the MinAssault (although only when there's a CalScout in the squad). And the MinLogi is still very popular for actual logistics play. Actually, it's probably the most common logi, with Amarr being (surprisingly) the least common...
If you are going to give assaults 2 light slots, you should give all logi's a sidearm. Just my feels on it.

Why? There's no need.
No there isn't. However it feels as though giving this bump is going to lead to Logi suits needing love next. As you ramp up the abilities of the attackers, the support suffers more and more.
It's an itch in the back of my mind that's just not going away, something will need to happen for Logi suits soon too.
...........Or it could just be a tumor, who knows.
