(Note: This has nothing to do with the aimbot)
Ever since Uprising launched, Scouts have been less useful when compared to the medium frames, because of the durability, the fact of very similar speeds, and nerfed scan range. Also, It never really had anything to be a good scout in the first place, and the scanner helped, but as said, the mediums can use it as well, so it's pointless. Scouts really need fixing, and this is how I would do it.
Well, they need to have speed. I would say at base .5-1 m/s faster than now. Also, they need another equipment slot (all of them), more CPU/PG to go along with said slot and some EWAR and scout-like equipment to go along with it to have more of a support role, and the module slot count can stay as is. Next, the biotic modules needs their requirements changed so they can actually be easily fitted on light Frames in general (possible built in reduction to them for all light frames?). Another thing Scouts could use is better built in scanners. The profile is fine, but the precision and the range needs a buff. Lastly, they need better scanning abilities, and when the EWAR stuff starts coming out, each race should get a bonus for their preferred type of EWAR (ex. Caldari would get a bonus for some kind of bonus for a jammer of some sort).
Also, there's been mention of cloaking devices for dropsuits, but what if Scouts were the only ones to get them? That way, the cloaks wouldn't be abused, and scouts have a better way of moving around. But how do we balance it without it being OP? Well, one way we could do it is a chemleon style cloak, where it's not total, but you kind of blend in with the back ground, so if someone's looking at you in a sorta close range, they could spot you, but if your far off or they only glance at you, they might miss you. Another way could be a complete cloak that for a short amount of time (at he most 30 seconds) you have total invisibility. Has a cooldown of about a minute.

EDIT: This is a perfect example of the cloak I wish Scouts would have. |

That's with lower tier weapons, no shield or armor tank whatsoever, and probably no equipment. |

Arnold is going to be like "Shhh"_points off in the distance_"He's there." lol
I say that dampening mods and precision mods should come to play while using the cloak.
Well, I don't think that the cloak should effect your scanning abilities at all. It's just to aid in sneaking around, and you know, scouting. |

It's just to aid in sneaking around, and you know, scouting. Like if you using comp. dampeners, they should aid you in cloaking even more. and if you have comp. precision, you'll be able to slighly see a cloacked scout. these are only suggestions. all in all I want that damn cloak out now. I hate being randomly ARd, because I want to scout and run the long distance.
Wait, are you saying that if the Scout is scannable, like a outline-like thing should appear over it so it's spotted? Maybe, but sounds good. Best scanners win! |

that said I'm not a big fan of the cloak being scout only, maybe the scout gets heavy bonuses, or a special cloak, but thats it.
humm..... I wasn't too keen on having mediums having cloaks, and still won't if speed/stealth differences doesn't change. Anyways, Scouts is already tech 2 so......
'lights cigar' fuck with me, and I'll melt your face off. Gallente forever!
