The assault progression works just fine for assaults, and its simplicity no doubt works exceptionally well for those players looking for assault type roles and gameplay, run+gun. Yes, the Logis could be matched to this, but for what? Simplicity? Logistics isn't simple, if you're a player looking for simple then move along, try the assault class or maybe scouts.

Effectiveness is direct combat already is controlled by the base stats . Slot changes aren't neccessary to do this.

Put it this way, maybe my perspective will be clearer. Algorithmically, if you will, the existing slot layouts are constants . They are established, and within the game their effects are proven . There is no question as to how they may interplay with the rest of the game meta, micro or macro. Any question as how they perform is easily answered because they already exist, balanced and in full, with all other existing game components and assets.
Logis need some modest buffing tweaks to their base stats, maybe some secondary or other extra tiering bonuses and that's all . Logis currently, neccessary buffing aside, are relatively balanced and productive both in game and in the overall gameplay meta. They aren't broken, they aren't OP. They're UnderPowered for certain situations that they shouldn't be but the resolution to that is the modest base buffs, not a total rewrite.

Could you and Rattati and CCP totally redraw them from the ground up and make them everything they should be? Optimistically, sure, of course you could. Realistically? Based on past redraw attempts of everything else ever **** no, it won't happen. What will happen (based on the history of everything) is they'll be redrawn, the balance gains that have existed will be lost, the suits will be broken and abused, then nerfed into the 7th circle of Dis. Ask Adipem Nothi what I'm talking about, he'll tell you all about it and the past bunch of months with scouts. The QQ will continue and the buff-nerf merry-go-round will continue. Problems never solved, just rearranged.

You say you see no good reason to not mirror the Assaults, yet the best reasoning ever when it comes to troubleshooting, removal or replacement of anything is right in front of you:

It isn't broken so it doesn't need fixing .

Thing is, they not only are properly functional at Proto, they are also properly functional at Standard AND Advanced, where the slot layouts aren't identical to assault frames. The neccessary buffing for improving their overall survivability and performance is modest, is in their hp, movement speed, cpu/pg allocations and their bonus spreads (bonuses to non-racial eq) and that is it. Slot redrawing is NOT neccessary and introduces risk into the equation of game balance and role/class performance that does NOT need to be introduced!

Seriously dude, the slots aren't "broken" so please stop trying to "fix" them!

The only Logi suit that needs any sort of "help"outside of the above is the CalLogi which for what it has, what it does (racial bonus) and how it does that needs a sidearm.

Cool. And hopefully they'll also examine the individual usage data between us as part of determining when it comes to using these suits (all of them) who between us actually has the consistent in-game experience with them versus the out-of-game paper analysis of them. I get you're a numbers guy and Rattati has you doing his grunt work on occasion but I actually play in these frames every day. I appreciate the help you provide him, btw, don't consider the previous statement as a slight against it. Just as I hope you can appreciate where my perspective stems from.

Majority opinion is not always the most accurate and just because an opinion is not widely shared does not make it wrong. Yes, a large sample size of opinions gives a much more accurate view of what general opinion is, however a sample of factual basis, large or small, is much more accurate insofar as determining factual basis .
Voter "Exit Polling" data shows this every election cycle, the poll of exiting voters is often not accurate to what the actual votes cast determine.
