I strongly second this. I would really like the ADV Gallente (G/1) suit to be switched to a 1H/3L configuration. I would really help in terms of the natural progressions towards the Proto Gallete scout suit. If I wanted a 2H/2L layout, I would have also gone Minmitar. Now, I get the slot configuration which keeps me from naturally progressing in my low slot focused stealth or passive scanning fits from STD to PRO level.
Sure the 2H/2L has some advantages, but all of the advantages must be given up when moving from ADV -> PRO since the 2nd high slot disappears. 1H/3L would be way a better configuration: it would be more consistent with the progression of the suits, more suited to it's passive bonuses (scan range/stealth) and (to me) more useful.
CCP - please consider adjusting this at some point in the future.

I don't think that is a very good reason either.... afterall, this only holds true for folks not skilled all the way up in Gallente scout dropsuits and profile dampening. I can defeat all proto scanners except for one with a Dragonfly and militia profile dampener. Albeit, I have L5 scout skills and L5 profile dampening.... so, I guess I could do it with a militia suit as well..... the ADV suit itself doesn't really have much to do with it.
Although this feature is by design, I think it's a design that just doesn't make much sense and a valid candidate for adjustment. |

I wouldn't mind going with a 2H/4L for Gallente proto, provided that the Minmitar suit also got an additional slot added to it. I would still favor a 1H/3L for the ADV suit, since they proto suits would provide a nice bump and really be special and justify their additional cost over the advanced suits.
I'm not sure why scouts only get 5 H/L slots in total while Assaults get 7. Scouts no longer have a passive scan range bonus like they did in Chromosome, the speed bonus is negligible and as it turns out, not useful give the lagging hitbox, better hit detection and auto-aim.
So - what 'benefits' do we have over medium suits to justify being docked 2 slots relative to their suits? I think we should have 6, and still a small buff to scan range and speed.

As a gal proto, I do not want another high mod, what are you gonna do with that? It's all about the low slots. That's where the scout mods are at. Damn it CCP HERE US OUT. We are in the pits.
Yeah, 1H/3L for ADV, and 1H/5L for Pro.....? That would be sweet. I'd rock the range, stealth, armor, reps and kin/cat for the win.... |

Yeah, precision all the way.... with my range extender and precision I rarely have to run. Just waltz up to Mr. Joe Schmoe hacking a turret, CRU, Objectvie.... and liquify him with the shotgun. Or flank Mr. I'm not paying attention, and put 20 SMG rounds in his dome.
Don't get me wrong, shields are nice, but with the precision I can pick up scouts who haven't fully skilled up yet, or medium suits running dampeners and that really helps!
