After some reflection on the respective role bonuses of the Caldari Logistics and Assault suits, I have become convinced that the bonuses for these suits were unintentionally switched. Here is my logic.
The Caldari Assault suit gets a bonus to reload speed. This bonus only makes sense if you do not have a secondary weapon. As you will note, logistics suits are the only ones which do not have a secondary weapon. On the other hand, the Caldari Logistics suit gets a bonus to its shield extender effectiveness, which seems more than a little strange for a suit that is not combat focused, and was specifically described as the least durable of the logistics suits on CCP's test server.
As a result we have Caldari Logistics suits being used as the primary assault suit, due to the combination of its slot layout and current role bonus. This was clearly not its intended use, and I cannot help but think how this issue would be resolved by switching the bonuses. Does this seem reasonable to anyone else? |

Yea but reload speed is not something to be worried about when you can quickly switch to a secondary. On the other hand a logi is totally vulnerable when he reloads so they would want to minimize this as much as possible. |

Pfft, who'd want to switch to a subpar non tar weapon when you could quickly reload it and take out the other 3 members of the 6 man squad you just rolled through.
Decent player would kill you while you reload, and shame on you if you can't finish a gunfight with a TAR before reloading. In any case my point still stands. |

still believe that I am right on this, and would love a developer's perspective on the matter. |

I suspect the reload bonus was meant for the plasma cannon.
P.S.
Also, comparing a 25% shield buff to the other assault bonuses makes it too obviously OP.
That bonus on top of extra high slots makes the logi even more ridiculously tanky. I cannot believe that this was intended. Some logi suits are more durable than others, but none of them are supposed to be your frontline fighters.
Also, giving a bonus to a gallente plasma cannon on a caldari suit does not make a whole lot of sense to me. Even if they did want to do that, why not just give it a buff to the plasma cannon specifically rather than a generic buff? |

Probably a good point, but i feel bad for that caldari heavy, better hope no one is running flux nades..... |
