DUST Search - Scouts need a BUFF

Sentinels are the heavy weapons class, the Commando is a duel light weapons class, making heavy frames the unique weapon specialists, Medium frames are the adaptable GÇ£can perform every single roleGÇ¥ class, logis being equipment/module focus and assaults being stat/weapon focused, thus Scouts should be the active module class, allowing them to explode with power in short bursts (this will also fit with how pilot suits would operate). This would replace them getting a second equipment slot and would remove the light weapon slot from their suits.

Scout suit stats arenGÇÖt that great in general to get much of an advantage from % boosting modules, and the module count is small to begin with and limited cpu/pg to stack mods, why not have unique and powerful modules just for the scout suit to have them get past this hard set limitation? They would have long cool downs when ran without bonuses and part of the racial scout bonuses could be applied to the reduction of these cool downs.

Caldari Racial: Tacnet Delusive Module cooldown

Tacnet Delusive Modules- The accuracy of targeting hostile playerGÇÖs Tacnet is dependent on precision beating out targets profile signature.

Solipsism Modules (Tacnet Jammer)- Turns off the mini map, turns off IFF (identify friend foe) indicators, cuts mic communication, prevents calling in of vehicles or strikes

Phantasm modules (decoy, false noise)- When used on the ground it creates false hostile signals on the enemies tacnet, when used on objectives, it falsely claims its being hacked

Mimatar scout active modules effect movement, filling an effective skirmisher role that can excel at hit and run tactics

Hermod Modules (chemical stimulates)- Increases speed by a large margin just as fast or faster than frame rate for a few seconds.

Olorun Modules (jump pack)-Activate the module and your jumps become boosted, you can also double jump with this. Falls can be controlled by slow ascension and dropping on an enemy causes an instant kill.

Amarr- Bonus to capacitor active modules
While the capacitor stat doesnGÇÖt really exist in dust its function on how and why modules and weapons take cpu/pg do. Amarr scout would be a really good harrier by debuffing enemies

Neutralize (direct Debuff)- temporarily negates the effect of some of the modules on hostile targets (some modules would be immune for common sense purposes) also slows down enemy units

***PLACE HOLDER*** Though I was debating a teleporting function

Gallente- Bonus to Stealth/Detection Active Modules

Ghost Modules (cloak)- self explanatory

***PLACE HOLDER***

But this will only yield the same result as people suggesting the logi only get a sidearm, "But the mass driver is the weapon of the logi!" will turn to "But the shotgun is the weapon of the scout!" Though I suppose one option would be for the basic light frames to keep the current layout and for the actual scout specialization to get changes. We've got 4 racial suits, so no reason we couldn't have one with the two side slot config while another retains the light so shotgun scouts are still viable. But then you'd have people complain that their favorite race has a scout suit with the wrong configuration for them. I'm not so sure what is so wrong with having multiple variants of the same suit per race. Just make it so the 2nd equipment slot is the sidearm slot and that it can move. So it's basically the chrome type 1 an 2 suit all in one

Dude great ideas but 1. Your asking scouts to be the biggest sp in gaming history 2. This means other classes are gonna want things that are equal to our cool new mods 3. I love my shotgun I like the op I think that the side arm slot could be interchangeable to a extra equipment slot would be awesome
