Here goes........,,,
Assault Mk0
Reduce CPU from 392 to 360 or 365
Reduce armor from 190 to 155 (all tiers)
Reduce stanima recover from 50 to 25 (why on earth is it 50?)
Change slot layout to 5 highs and 3 low
Assault Gk0
Increase armor repair rate from 4.50 to 9.50
Change slot layout to 4 highs 4 lows
Assault Ck0
Increase armor from 155 to 190 (all tiers)
Increase shield recharge from 30hp to 40hp or 45hp
Decrease shield recharge delay from 5s to 4sec
So I don't think any dev needs a spread sheet to see that the Minmatar assault is the most popular and strongest suit at the moment.
The only reason not to spec into this suit is if you do not like the Minmatar specifically (or think it's fugly like I do:)
It does everything. And it does everything better or as good as other suits including scouts.
( I think it might have been sgt Kirk who had a post about assault roles and how the minmatar is stepping on others roles)
I think the problem with the mk0 lies somewhere between the slot configuration and CPU/ hp tanking ability - to me it just has to much hp for a suit that moves so fast you can't hit it 40% of the time
I thought switching the mk0 to the ck0 layout is more inline with minmatar as they seem to favor shields from what I've seen. Reduced starting armor because of the speed benefit of the suit . Reduced CPU to be inline with the limited technology of race. Reduced stanima regen as it didn't make sense to have 200 stanima but 50 regen when amarr is 250 with 30
( I have always though of the Minmatar as scrappy underdog fighters, they win against stronger opponents by out working and out thinking them but the Mk0 is again easily the strongest suit - I think all the other suits on paper should be slightly better)
I changed the gk0 because Gallente to me are the most balanced race and therefore should have the most balanced layout. I increased armor regen to compensate a bit for losing that low slot (which should be a repper anyway)
I changed the CK0 because for a shield based suit, the shield regen and recharge delay felt only slightly better than the other races. I increased the armor because at 155 the suit is the same speed as GK0 ( at 155 the suit should have the same speed as the mk0 IMO )
Thoughts?

Caldari: they are supposed to have the lowest armor HP in all of New Eden. They focus on Shields only. Not armor so it would make sense for them to have the weakest armor in the game.
Shield regen is fine as it is right now.
Gallente: My go to Assault is Gallente Assault. But giving them a base armor regen of 9.50 would be too OP and would encourage armor stacking. Some modifications might be needed with the slots tho. Make the Gallente 3 highs 4 lows and the Amarr 2 highs 5 lows. Why like this? To stop having Gallente Assaults stacking massive ammounts of armor. Gallente is not the Armor tanking race. That's the Amarr's job.
Minmatar: Armor should stay as it is. Some tweaks are needed in stamina tho. Make it 30-35 instead of 25. The only good thing the suit has base on stats is the stamina since the Minmatar Assault is the weakes of all Assaults eHP wise so their stamina and speed make up for it BUT I do agree they are a bit over the top.

Thank you,
Did not consider those slot options for amarr and Gal
I think a nerf bat will find it's way to the min assault once Rat has enough data, I've just noticed ever since it got 4 highs and 4 lows, it's been lights out good
The Cal is squishy but it is what it is

If anything we have to balance the shield and armor issue, not assaults.
I don't hate the minmatar, I have minmatar sent and commando at 3 and plan on skilling into the scout next ( it's a badass looking suit)
The Minmatar assault is everywhere, it is a great suit. Rat seems to base nerfs on usage/performance.
I'm not too savvy with actually EVE lore, I was going by other minmatar suit configs which seem to have one more high slot than low.
( I could be very mistaken but I think the original minmatar Mk0 slot layout was 5 high 2 low)

Checking Prototfits.com took me 10 seconds to confirm that the mk.0 is 4/4. Why on earth are you trying to make the Gallente out to be 4/4 when they are super Armor tankers? The entire shtick of the Minmatar is that they tank with Shields and Armor about equally. 3/5 for Gallente makes because of this Armor tradition in the same way that 4/4 makes sense for Minmatar in that dual defense tradition. Would be like suggesting that the Caldari need more Armor! Oh, you did that too...
I said ORIGINAL minmatar layout. Please read what wrote correctly.
Are you new to Dust? Or did you chase the FOTM? you seem to know a whole lot more about EvE lore and Philosophies, so maybe you should write a book about it?
The minmatar was buffed to 4/4 sometime ago (they buffed all assaults) previous to this buff the minmatar had a different layout and was considered the weakest assault suit.
I see you chose Caldari as your race, so I'm not sure why I have to point out that the Caldari assault is currently the weakest assault. This has to do with the meta and the fact that shields are like wet toilet paper to most weapons
I honestly do not believe adding 35 armor is going to make that suit OP
( let's give every race 35 extra armor then so this doesn't ruin your fragile EvE ego, ok?)
I also don't think I suggested nerfing the min assault into the ground. (Well maybe the CPU....)
Again I think the mk0 is a great suit, it is definitely over performing and as more people flock to it it may get nerfed based on its usage.
You think it's fine, that's your opinion.
