I think that would also be fine for the caldari suits, but boring. It would also be fine if gallente and Minmatar suits were punished somehow for their equipment slots(lose a grenade, lose cpu/pg, what have you.), or if all the suits had the same PG and CPU.

I kind of miss the balanced layout for the Amarr. The description of a balanced layout still exists for the Amarr Assault.

I guess most people consider four equipment at the prototype tier to be normal, but I consider three to be normal. From this point of view, the Caldari gain a module slot at the cost of CPU, the Amarr gain a sidearm at the cost of PG and a module slot(I admit the PG penalty isn't as bas as it used to be.), and the Minmatar and Gallente gain an equipment slot at the cost of nothing. That is why I feel they should be punished. Not punishing any of them would also be agreeable.

As one who plays with amarr logistics suits, I would also prefer another module slot at the prototype tier over an equipment slot,
so I wonder why the equipment slot is simultaneously preferable for the caldari suit. What are your thoughts on that?

I may or may not have read the "threadnaught." Probably not. I don't remember it.

Do NOT parrallel Logi slot progression to Assaults.

Yes, I'm aware that a couple patches back (as part of the greater overhaul) Assault frames were given their Logis layouts at Proto. My issue making that scheme the uniform standard down the line is to assist in limiting the use of the suit (logis) by slayers, for slaying. Specifically by denying those individuals the ease of simply copying over to a Logi frame whatever Assault mod layout they've grown accustomed to using. Yes, at Proto they can now. But that doesn't mean that at lower levels they should. Especially if some of the buffs we've proposed in Cross' Logistics thread come to be.

Me personally, I've had no issue in learning my Logi suits' strengths/weaknesses in fitting or use with the layouts as they've been, so as far how I'd prefer to see dev time spent on fixing Logis, tying slot progression to Assaults further is a very low priority to me.

Actually I believe Amarr logis only have 4 lows at proto, making only 7 mod slots. This follows the old Amarr assault trend of having less slots. It was agreed that this was silly and Amarr assaults got the same total slots as the rest. The same fix needs to be done to the proto Amarr logi.

As for slot progression, I would be open to different slot layouts to assaults, but I don't see why logis should ever have less mod slots than their assault counterpart, and they should certainly have equal total slots between races at the same tier.
