How about a Bandwidth Enhancement Module, just like for CPU and PG?

Clever! Abuse potential?

Maybe. But you'd have to use a low (or high) slot to benefit, so is that much different than a CPU or PG module?

If the module was CPU and PG costly (like a Kincat), you would have to downgrade other equipment, shields or armour to take advantage of that extra bandwidth.

Not a bandwidth proponent or supporter by any means BUT in the current bandwidth landscape I think the sort of abuse potential is less that an individual will spam more at the expense of their armor and more that they'll spam small then by switching into a non-support build with a BW mod effectively self-logi. ie, start in a logi/scout dropping rep/ammo hives and then switch to a heavy and stay in the now permanent (until destroyed) nest. Which was supposed to be part of the behaviour the encumberance bandwidth is supposed to eliminate completely.

Agree 100%. However, as you said, Bandwidth would have to come up. Right now, the only thing that can legitimately go into the 4th low is for bandwidth because, without, even at proto you can't put better than mostly standard and advanced mods. Get rid of that ridiculous 4th low, give us our 4th equipment (even if it is just at proto), and enough bandwidth to actually put some proto stuff on it.

NO EXCEPTIONS - Agreed. No Logistics suits will have a sidearm slot - Disagree. I'm okay with Amarrs and Cals having sidearms at the expense of an equipment slot. All Logistics suits will have 4 EQ slots (all tiers) - Agreed, except when said Logi has a sidearm (per previous point). Force all EQ slots to be filled in order for the fitting to be valid - Agreed. Require all EQ slots to be filled to enable the Logi EQ fitting bonus. (next point) Increase EQ CPU/PG fitting bonus for Logistic - Agreed. Assault and Logistics suits swap movement speed - Agree and disagree. Assaults should still be the 'sprinters' of the two, but the Logis should be the 'joggers' (they are carrying more equipment after all) and swap stamina and regen.

None of these ideas will prevent suit swapping, but a bandwidth module that has appropriate CPU & PG costs would restrict what could be loaded on a 'throw away' suit.
