Rigs are a super important part of pvp ships. The wrong rig has more impact than a wrong mid or low slot mod. Why not make assult frigs reflect that fact?

How about making them the only t2 ship able to fit 3 rigs?

How about adding a 5% or 7.5% bonus to rig effects per assult frig skill level?

I feel this would both give the ships a bit of a much needed buff and give the t2 small rig market a boost

An extra slot wouldn't hurt but I don't think it would help much either. I don't quite agree with baltec1 at this point though, I think AFs are just kind of missing something. More base speed would certainly help the class as a whole and go well with the MWD bonus.

CCP tried this, they were overpowered and the AB bonus was quickly abandoned.

I heard about this while researching my idea, but I was unable to find any footage or discussion about that particular test (please link if you have some). I decided to bring it up again because I think the idea should be revisited.

Restoring them to their original role is likely futile - T3D owns that outright, are easier to skill into and the price difference is small. AFs remain popular for PVE and CCP Fozzie suggested they may optimize them for that role.
