to put a scanner and a dampener on the Gallente 'Spartan' Assault? Seriously such a fcking waste of space, especially the scanner, I mean isn't that supposed to be the logi's gimmick? I can live with the pointless dampener but I don't even want the suit if I'm going to be stuck with a fcking scanner while using it. Do you not want people to buy the suit, is that it?
Here's an idea CCP; instead of locking the suits entirely, how about you just lock them to standard gear. You can easily set them to only allow a certain meta level item on the suit, just set it to 1 or possibly 1 & 2 if you want to allow for weapon variants to be used.

I understand that they aren't supposed to be the best fits but it doesn't mean they should put stuff on it that belongs on another suit. Assaults are supposed to be assaulting, scanning is a logi's job.

I put an Active Scanner on all my assaults so I can know whose coming up the stairs and where the uplinks are.
No, it doesn't but that's why I say "Hey man, mind throwing out a scan?".

Okay you can take the Caldaris Nanohive which is useless if you are trying to actually assault something (which requires actually moving forward) for scans.
Ammo is only useless when you're dead. I'd gladly take the hive or even a needle over a scanner any day. At least those offer a benefit that is underutilized by most teams (ammo & saving clones).
And no, assaulting doesn't require you to move forward, it just requires you to assault (attack) something; sometimes that means moving forward and sometimes that means popping in & out of cover.

Because you, personally, know how easy coding is for a video game... 
Actually I do. I'm not saying coding a game itself is easy but within the realm of what they are doing, what they'd need to do to achieve that is relatively easy. Not all programming is as hard as pathfinding or realistically simulating all the factors effecting a bullet traveling from point A to point B; despite what people like to make programming out as, there are some relatively easy things to do.

I'd have to disagree. The scanner is a bad idea because it has to be the STD which makes it useless on the suit because you can pick heavies and mediums up with passive scans.
