So I think it's pretty universally agreed that scouts are in dire need of a buff, as they simply don't hold a candle to really any of the other suits. I should probably preface this by saying I've never actually played a scout, but here's my idea:
So when I think scout, I think someone who's very stealthy and very aware. Basically they should be able to sneak around enemies and provide valuable intel. Both of these things could be achieved via profile dampeners and scan improving module, respectively. Unfortunately with their limited high and low slots, scouts aren't exactly incentivized to use them. So I suggest adding a third type of module (maybe just called medium-powered) that is just for scan affecting modules. Note that this would include modules that improve your scan precision and modules that reduce your own suit's scan profile. And then just give scouts more of these than any other suit, maybe three or so; like how logis get three equipment slots.
What I like about this idea is that it could also be used to add more variety to existing suits and fitting choices. So different suits would get a different amount of these new slots (probably around one for assaults and logis, maybe none for heavies). |

I think some of you may have misunderstood my intentions here. I wasn't saying that this is allscouts need, I was saying this is one thing that in addition to other buffs would make the scout suit more viable. I definitely agree they need more speed, and some more hacking speed and CPU/PG isn't a bad idea either, and they might still even need cloaking. Although I'm kinda against them getting another equipment slot, it doesn't really seem to fit the role.
I'm just suggesting one more possibility that could help scouts, while also adding some more depth to the game as a whole. |

However, with only 3 slots, assuming that the high/low slots could *not* fit the medium modules you would probably have LESS fitting options for scan modules (the precision enhancer modules are currently High modules, while the range and dampening are Low)
I'm sorry, but I'm not really sure what you mean. Do you mean there'd be less scan fitting options for non-scout suits? Cause I don't really see that as a big problem. |
