I can snag kills that I would otherwise lose to reloads with it, and it allows me to be way more mobile to boot. I'm against bumping up the racial bonus on these two suits.
I think that Caldari and Galente suits could use a better racial bonus, and that the assault role could use a retweak:
- 5% Fitting optimization to Weapons (Light Weapon, Sidearm, Grenade) per level - 1% Resistance to Enemy faction's weapon damage per level (?)
The best solution would be tiericide and give each frame its own bonus, but I don't think that's in the books
Agreed. I can accomplish amazing things with my Minmatar Assault versus my Gallente Assault. Point in case.
The Min Assault's speed and recovery are incredible while also having a decent buffer. 450 Shields and 250 Armor with a 4 second downtime on the shields while also having the speed to disengage allows you to choose your engagements. That's something the Gallente Assault can't do as you're too slow to be able to do so, having to commit to any fight you're in. Trouble is, you're often going to lose as the current meta still has a hard focus on Heavies which (as Kain Spero put it) are defined by their HMG since they have no other anti-infantry weapons, which can make short work of the Gallente.
All in all, the Min Assault is perfectly fine. I can't speak for the Amarr Assault but it seems to have a really good bonus toward it's weapon. I think that the Caldari Assault will do really well with a recoil reduction, as seems to already be the plan. The only remaining thing is the Gallente Assault which has a remarkably useless bonus to dispersion and I think we need to get away from that because of how confined it is (only really applying to the Assault Rifle which already has Sharpshooter and Ion Pistol which also has Sharpshooter).
I know a lot of people are adverse to a damage bonus on the Gallente Assault but I really do think that that or perhaps increased range are the only valuable things for their weaponry.

I'm a paying player. My opinion matters more.
