Absolutely. A 10m scan radius is pretty poor.... however, I think that scouts should be the only ones to have an increased scan radius, and even then only to 15m or so. Given the heartiness of assault suits, I'm not really feeling too bad that their scan radius is so small.
The speed, lagging hit-box, poor ehp, low PG/CPU and many other things makes me very against taking away the last remaining hope of scouts: situational awareness. It's crap as it is, but with a few range extending modules and max skills it can be decent, at least for the Gallente. But you forgo speed, shields, armor and regen.... meaning that in order for me to have a range of on the order of 40m or so, and be able to detect other scouts of moderate skill level I have sheilds 87, armor 162, no regen and no speed.
I feel your pain, but that is the way it should be for assault suits.

I disagree a little. The profile on scout suits is rather worthless right now when you cant see anyone coming. Instead they need to make it so you can see 'most' people nearby with passive scanning. This lures people into a false sense of security so when that sneaky scout comes in and kills you, you never knew he was there.
I think I've seen you or someone else post this in various other threads. This is definitely another way to work the issue, however if this were to be the case this would really just be another way to allow suits with superior CPU/PG and slots (logi, and even assaults....) to again usurp the scout at what should be their natural proficiency.
If a logi can out range, dampen, and precision a scout, and have more base HP, base regen and have an additional high and low slot (or 2) left over... there really isn't much hope.
