What do you guys think though of how they could change the fitting options for Assault? Would 2 light weapons be too much?

Not Enough CPU/PG to run that. I think that having a heavy grenade slot that gives you more nades....say like 5-6 locus nades or AV nades would be enough of a reason for ppl to spec into assault.

Change all the bonuses entirely.

Base hull:
Gallente should be armor repair amount per level.
Caldari should be shield HP
Amarr should be armor HP
And Minmatar should be shield recharge

Skill level:
Gallente - Hybrid damage/ROF
Caldari - Hybrid Range/Capacity
Amarr - Heat reduction/Damage of energy weapons
Minmatar - Explosive (MD, swarmers, grenades, remote explosives) weapon damage

Their recharge rate bonus is pretty big for them no?

Where's the option to go into specialised suits, I don't see it? I have Caldari assault dropsuit to level 5 with nooption to specialise into anything else.

Is that why I'm the only one still wearing a black and white suit

When you walk into the war barge you see a sea of yellow, but no white. Why is this? Well let's look at what they did with the specialized suits.

You level up your basic suit to level 5 and get your prototype suit, this is already a really great suit. But then you are given the option to go into specialized suits, at which case you start right over with the bad suits stat-wise but you are getting an extra bonus. With Assault suits, the suits are identical to the basic suits in every way so these bonuses don't make the assault better than your Basic Prototype suit until you get to Level 5 in Assault suits.

Now look at the Logistics. Yes you still have to start over with low level suits that aren't as good as your Basic Prototype, but the stats aren't identical to your level 1 basic suit. You get more CPU/PG and more equipment slots. So even if it's not exactly better than your Basic Prototype, it provides you another way of playing that you simply can't do with your basic suits.

But wait, there's more. The bonuses themselves are stacked towards logistics. The universal assault bonus is increased shield recharge rate. Everyone knows that stat is next to worthless. Meanwhile the universal logistics bonus is passive armor repair, which is absolutely invaluable. It's an easy choice when deciding which to skill into.

So what do you think should be done? Obviously they should give the assault suits something different with the fitting and CPU/PG or something to make them different than the basic equivalents minus the skill bonus. Perhaps give them a second light weapon, or an extra grenade slot, just something. And secondly change the universal assault bonus to something on the same level of value as armor repair, such as shield delay reduction.

What else could they do?

You leave my shield recharge rate alone, that little extra is a huge help for getting them back up to full and getting me back in the fight. Don't bother countering with "use an energizer or recharger" because I do, and having 51 shields come back per sec is oh so sweet.
