So. I have read all of the replies and comments, and it seems that while the community can agree that assaults need to be the best mid-range fighter. Capable of dealing significant damage to heavies, staying mobile for long periods of time while not actually moving faster than the speed oriented scouts, and a passive repair buff that keeps them able to push the frontlines of combat without having to rely too heavily on a logi. Yet no one can agree on what buffs should be made?
No wonder the fixes are always so shoddy and half-hearted! Everyone is too busy debating their ideals, when all you should be doing is helping to refine the original proposal.

Charlie
YES - More PG/CPU, playing around with numbers, maybe 10% across the board
YES - More EHP, 100 to 150 ehp, racially consistent to shields/armor
YES/NO - Another equipment slot, maybe only ADV and PRO, including the necessary PG/CPU
Delta
Another Role bonus, ROF, damage, TBD, ammo capacity bonus,
Racial efficacy bonuses, f.ex. GA to dmg mods and/or reps, etc.
Caldari reduction to Rail Rifle kick, spool up time
Gallente, ROF(unless role bonus) I'm thinking give them the 2% damage per level that commandos have, and give commandos 20% increased magazine size and max ammo. Then give each assault one bonus for their racial rifle, and one bonus for their racial tank.
Now we're getting places...

Now I have a question. If assault is supposed to be 'the' frontliner's choice, why do the scouts have the layout and stats to 'Assault' more effectively than an Assault? Futhermore, why are heavies aquiring the damage bonus when they have heavy weapons that are already more than capable of wiping out a room of lighter suits?
In order for the Assault suits to work in an assault role, other suits need to be optimized for what they're made for.
