This extra low slot doesn't seem like a buff to me, just a trade off. "Here, here's an extra module, but if you want to use it you're going to have to downgrade something first."

In my case, it'll be swapping a complex shield extender for a basic shield recharger so I can fit one more complex armor rep. That seems like a trade-off instead of a buff.

Edit: I'd love to have almost 19 armor/sec, but I'm also going to have to lose 72 shield, and unfortunately you (or at least I do) need eHP to be competitive with all those brick tanked suits wielding proto weapons. I'm just glad I can fit an advanced weapon.

Another low slot is a great buff.
How on earth is it a tradeoff? Because of PG/CPU? Amarr assault has bucketloads of PG/CPU.

Not when using laser weaponry. The reason it has more PG/CPU is because it's meant to use laser weaponry. Just because people like their cheap combat rifles doesn't mean that it shouldn't get more PG/CPU.

Yes, I'm tempted to just spec combat rifles and use them on my Amarr assault (because CPU/PG reduction bonus and all my armor is maxed while I only got shield and extenders maxed) and to get more CPU/PG for my modules, but I refuse to spec into the FOTM for the reason of it being easier to fit (and better killing power than a laser rifle).

Edit: either way, I'm going to have to go through with this trade-off and hope that when they look at the mediums, they give the Amarr assault more CPU/PG.
