Thanks, Aeon. Seriously, thanks for everything.
In the short run, the Devs could hotfix us in any number of ways to keep us in the game. Doing so wouldn't be sufficient to curb our performance decline, but it'd help to staunch the bleeding while we wait for 1.6.
Hotfix Ideas:
- Drastically reduce the cost of Light/Scout Suits.
- Dial down Aim-Assist or make us more resistant to it.
- Reduce damage at range of ARs and ScRs.
- Add to Scout base statistics (Stamina, Speed, CPU, PG, HP).
- Add to Scout base Scan Radius.
- Improve Scout base Scan Profile/Precision.
These are short-term "numeric" buffs which again would "help" more than "fix" the Scout. I've put up and opinion-piece on how the Devs might go about fixing Scouts in the long run (i.e. come 1.6):

^ I've always respected your approach to problem-solving, so I'd very much appreciate your input here should you have time.
Thanks Again,

Active Camo?
Innate Cloaking?
Smaller Hitbox?
Slot/Equipment Reconfig?
Back-Stab Multiplier?
Speed differentiation?
Mobility differentiation?
Aim-Assist immunity?
This is an FPS and Scouts will seek out blood. At present, we fight at disadvantage, no matter how clever.
Relegation to a support/recon role will show many a skilled and dedicated shooter the door.
I'm curious as to what CCP has in store for us down the road.
It'd be nice if they clued us in ... something to look forward to and so on.
It'd also be nice if they threw us a short-term bone. We have waited rather patiently, build after build.

If/when CCP makes some form of cloaking device... what would prevent logi, assault, or heavy from using it? If other classes can also use it, doesn't that also defeat the scouts' affect?
This might be a crazy idea, but what about giving the scout a specialized slot that ONLY scouts have. One that would carry cloaking devices (and perhaps other specialized devices in the future) Sort of like how the Heavy is the only class to have a "heavy weapon" slot. Maybe take away the grenade slot, and replace it with the "stealth equipment" slot. (for lack of a better term) Easier solution is just put a flag on the equipment module that says "scout only = true"
Active Camo!
... just build it right in
... no "mod" nonsense
... don't have enough PG/CPU as is

... Scouts are sooo squishy
Sexual Tyrannosaurus!?
... yes, we must borrow this as well
... maybe for a new heavy suit
... commando, sentinel, sexual tyrannosaurus

It's pretty well known that the CPM are unanimous that no-one should ever be able to Predator kill someone. I disagree'd but... to each their own.
I wholeheartedly agree.
The original Predator was clearly a noob.
He got negative WP for all those dishonorable kills.
On a more serious note, there are dozens of ways to balance cloak.
Hoping CCP makes it a Scout exclusive.
Otherwise, Logis will still be better Scouts than Scouts.
