i think it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to reduce it's shield recharge delays to the same as the caldari assault's if not better. why? because the MINMATAR ASSAULT IS MORE HIGH SLOT HEAVY THAN THE CALDARI ASSAULT.
this is the only case in this game where a minmatar suit has more high slots than it's caldari variant, so in this one case, i think it'd be reasonable to reduce it's shield recharge delays because 6 and 8 seconds on a shield based suit it ridiculous. i run a regulator and a recharger, and they help a lot, but the problem is that i then can't use those slots for other modules i wanted.
by the time i fit the regulator and recharger just to give it reasonable shield recharge stats, i'm left with less slots available than the cal scout, which can already do just about everything the min assault can do if not better.
for those who disagree, i'll show you:
Shield Recharge Delay:
Min Assault: 6 seconds
Cal Scout: 3 seconds
Shield Depleted Recharge Delay:
Min Assault: 8 seconds
Cal scout: 4 seconds
Shield Recharge Rate:
Min Assault: 25 hp/s
Cal Scout: 50 hp/s
Additional Factors:
Cal Scout's superior precision and scan radius
Cal Scout's ability to use a cloak without sacrificing the entire fitting
Cal scout's superior dampening
Cal Scout is much harder to hit than a min assault
but the min assault does have better clip sizes on projectile weaponry, and that is a very good bonus, but that's pretty much the only thing it has on the cal scout.
i'm not saying that the min assault is a useless suit, as it is far from that. it just requires support, just like many other suits, bu the sheer facts don't lie. the min assault is beaten by the cal scout in almost every way possible, and that's a problem.

I'm not saying you're wrong, per se. Just that more data is required for such a comparison to be valid.
187 shield for the min assault
162 shield for the cal scout
both are without any shield mods and assumes max shield skills.

because as i said, the scout can do everything the assault can do but better, EXCEPT extended clip size and a mere 100 more shields on the min assault.
if you don't see a problem with this, then i don't know what to say.
