I've said this before, but I'll do so one last time. Give an additional bonus to each racial suit in order to increase it's survivability, and thus it's killing effectiveness.
Gallente: 3~5% Bonus to Armor Repair Modules and Reactive Plates Per Level
Result: Gallente Assaults become an armor buffer tank who get additional eHP and repairs from reactive plates and a lot better repairs from their armor repair modules. Gallente assault becomes viable.
Amarr: 3~5% Bonus to a Armor Plates and Ferroscale Plates Per Level
Result: Amarr assaults become armor eHP tanks, basically becoming a light heavy suit with a smaller hit box. Amarr assault becomes viable
Caldari: 3~5% Bonus to Shield Extender, Recharger and Energizer Modules Per Level
Result: Caldari suits become shield eHP tanks with super fast shield regeneration. Caldari assault becomes viable.
Minmatar: 20% Increase to Damage Modules and 3~5% Increase to Shield Regulator Modules Per Level
Result: Minmatar Assault becomes a hit-and-run shield buffer tank with high DPS and low eHP. Minmatar assault becomes viable.
The Minmatar bonus is tricky because you don't want to make it tanky but you want it to be effective. Giving it a bonus to 20% damage mods brings their damage mods to 10% at level 5 instead of the current 5% at complex tier, thus helping them to make up for their ridiculously low eHP. And the regulator bonus also helps them make up for their low eHP by helping them get their shields back more quickly.
I think the other bonuses speak for themselves.

I think the other bonuses speak for themselves. Somehow I feel like this alone still wouldn't give me enough of a significant reason to choose assault over scouts or logi's. Just gut, but i'd love to see some fits that demonstrate the strength of this suggestion :D BTW, gg earlier Baal, those knives hurt Yeah, we were attempting to run a full on Nova Knife squad, nothing but knives and SMG's. Worked in a few games, but then someone had the bright idea of trying to put us in an ambush. Actually ran into another knifer a couple matches later who put away his shotty and stared me down as I came at him with my SMG. I noticed he was just standing there, so I stopped and looked at him. He swiped his knives and continued to stare. I yelled out to my squad "Stay the hell on that side guys, this guy want's a knife duel!" They all started bawling laughing and walked around the edge of C to watch. I did a "bow" with triangle, he returned it, then we had our duel. I won. =D Sent him a GG, he wasn't happy he lost lol
Coolest Dust moment in recent memory.
On topic: It's small changes that make the game stay balanced, this I feel is a good starting point. I'd like to start with this and see where things lead from here. It's not a buff bat, but it is at least a buff screwdriver.
Oh, and GG. =)
