Given that we are seeing minmatar assaults everywhere these days, does anyone think this suit is overpowered?
My experience is that its fun to run in pubs, with one kincat you can get scout speeds out of it, but in direct face to face combat vs. other assaults or heavies it gets wrecked pretty hard unless you spend alot of modules to tank it out. The assault bonus is the second best bonus for assault type suits, giving you a big boost to combat rifle or SMG clip sizes, and if you are good at exploiting positioning its speed can give you a great advantage.
One thing I would say is OP when I compare it to other suits is the crazy stamina regen. It regenerates its stamina 3x (or more?) faster than any other non-min scout/assault suits, making cardiac modules not just redundant, but plain old stupid on it. It gives you a big advantage in movement (which is kind of the point of the suit), but maybe too much?
How does everyone else feel? Give me your feelings. Now.
Since you begged, no its not OP. The high speed and high stamina characteristics that the FOTM crowd are just discovering were there from day one. Ratatti never touched those stats. But since people want their "heavy scout" because lol, they didn't adapt at not being able to shoot while cloaked, they moved on the the min assault.
Been running that suit as long as my logi, and its only now i see people whine about its speed and its hitbox.

If that is true, then something is wrong with one or both of these suits. Amarr scout moves at 5.25/7.35, Min Assault moves at 5.3/7.42 Jesus christ how horrifying. Amarr scout still gets much better precision and dampening but... wow :d
Thats a problem with the amarr scout design, not the minmatar assault design. Amarr scout came after the min assault, and if the devs geve it less speed than that needs to be adressed, not nerfing the min assault.
Otherwise, your'e comparing the fastest assault suit to the slowest scout.

The greatest advantage it receives when compared to the other Assaults is 2.5x, as the Caldari and Gallente both recover stamina at 20/s while the Matari recovers stamina at 50/s. Given that 1 Cardiac Regulator (+110%) will negate that advantage on any of the Assaults I fail to see how it's overpowered in comparison.
It's regen only faster than the MinLogi by 5/s, which is negligible, and the "insanely overpowered stamina regen advantage" is found on literally all of the Matari suits; even the Matari Sentinel/Commando (40/s) have better stamina regen than the non-Minmatar Assaults (20/s and 30/s).
Now my question to you, is:
Should we nerf the Minmatar Sentinel due to its "overpowered stamina regen" advantage?
Should we nerf the Minmatar Logistics due to its "overpowered stamina regen" advantage?
Should we nerf the Minmatar Commando due to its "overpowered stamina regen" advantage?
The real question is should the minmatar suits have even lower hp for how much they get to biotics because there's only a 30hp(6% penalty) difference for a 250% stamina regen bonus and a 6% sprint bonus?(at least for the assault suit. ) I wish all the minmatar suits got a melee bonus, not just the scout :/ SO this is what I will suggest :D SLightly lower the sprint speed by .2m/s and stamina regen a third or so and give them a bonus to melee 
No thank you. Besides, you can already do this with a minmatar assault.
