I'm pretty happy with the proposed changes. I have virtually every suit to advanced or higher on different characters, and these layouts and growth (combined with the proposed resource buffs for Assaults) are fairly close to what I've thought most appropriate for nearly all of them except the Logis. Still not so sure about the normalization there, honestly. It's good that the Cal would lose a low and gain an equip (IF it can fit it), but I'm not completely sold on the idea of the Amarr losing its sidearm. It gives the suit a little more flavor.
Reality is the original Rorschach.
Verily! So much for all that.

With actually PG/CPU you'll give us, we'll be able to fit all our fit, and the gameplay'll be better for assault..
- Minmatar is shield (+ armor)
- Caldari is shield only
- Gallente is armor (+ dmg)
- Amarr is armor only
=> so, why don't do that change ? Why don't you want to put 4/3 for Minma ? 5/2 for Calda ? 2/5 for Amarr ?
It would be the best balancing you can do for different assaults races...

Seriously, the proposed slot changes for the Assaults have been needed since the racial suits first dropped. If the logis need more consideration, we can keep talking and tweak them later, but please, please make the slot changes on the Assaults in Charlie.

Happy with the Assaults and Sents EXCEPT for Caldari. 3-2 means dual tanking for most players, and means I won't be able to run 3 Ext + Energizer on my Cal char. I neither need nor desire an armor rep on my pure shield tankers. I needs MOAR SHIELDS.

An 8th slot doesn't underline versatility, it removes the necessity of choice in suit building, further enables, nay, encourages dual tanking and destroys the lore-appropriate racial alignments the 7-slot reworking was intended to give us. You have to make people make choices, or they'll go the easy route every time. See every FotM ever for evidence. There WILL be 1200+ HP Proto Assaults stomping Pubs (which, btw, will further marginalize Laser weaponry). The Amarr at 3-5 will be able hit 1300 and carry a Boundless CR BEFORE the additional 150 HP buff, and Gal won't be too far behind with greater mobility and built-in reps. Toss in a logi friend and the Assaults are now into Sentinel territory. Even if a suit decides to give up a primary tank slot for a non-HP mod, the additional secondary tank slot makes compensating for it that much easier, making the decision less meaningful. Cut the slot. Make choices matter.
