See, I tried to make the case for 2 separate classes (Recon and Infiltrator), but it just never panned out.
What would be a cool idea for implants is to have an energy bar and give the light assault an energy pack. It would be very accessible and would give the light assault a greater team role. Unfortunately (legitimately as SOE is a business) there is no real way to monetize that.
In the end, I think they need to look at different monetization options. I had an idea where you could bring back auraxium for auraxium level members (and watch membership numbers skyrocket). You could take a lesson from DICE and sell "warpacks" that give random weapon attachments (need to make more), select camos, and tools for building a decal on the death screen (combined with the previous system could also have auraxium). You could also have a big bundle to go along with the release of a continent (couple weapons, few camos, 6 month boost; basically like alpha squad).
