I feel one of the issues with scouts right now is that there is nothing that you as a medium or heavy player "have" to use a scout for to do. Outside of maybe getting to objectives faster to spam drop uplinks, you devolve into just a slightly speedier assault with anemic ehp.
In regards to scout combat when looking at a game like Metal Gear Solid 4. Both Vamp an Raiden are scouts according to lore yet look at how dynamic their combat tends to be. Now in said game those two are damn near unkillable vamp more so than the other.
But apart from that some elements they showed such as hyper agility, leaping over high walls (buildings sometimes), etc. Should be a significant part of our current scout class (leaping over tall buildings in a single bound not included).
No I don't think we should ever see or smell an ehp buff but the tools of our survival should not be the same as our assault or heavy counterparts. Especially if the means of those classes are not already innate in ours. My hope is that emphasis on ewar an a very serious look at scout abilities on the field will truly bring this class into its own light.

1) An an actual ewar escape mechanic built into the suit like an active scanner
Scouts are useless unless they are on the edge of danger, thus we do need some defensive capabilities to disengage unwanted encounters
2) Debuffing abilities
Having a unique utility that no other suit can do would go a long way
3) Reduced fall damage
Seriously, I've jump and landed from distances higher which have killed my scout, I'd like to see CCP dump of a 15m rock and land on their feet, and then do the same jump while holding 50 lbs weights and tell me what hurts more.
4) Since we have a speed cap and are not allowed to go much faster than assaults, double our stamina
Which is lame, I don't understand the balancing on this when they created the suits
5) slow down the rest of the suits by a marginal .4 in speed.
1) Agree 100%
2) Definitely or something of equivalent nature.
3) Made a thread on this my self, it doesn't make any sense that a class designed with low health that must escape to survive dies because they were trying to actually escape  .
4) Stamina would help but without some means of reliable evasion I can only imagine what will happen to scout once rail rifle comes out.
5) As a medium suit user all I can say is "DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!!! ", but in all seriousness I would fully except such a thing or even a little larger for said suits if that was the only thing that could be done to boost scouts speed.

Then again, they're not attempting to tank on the most fragile of suits.
I run a scout every now and then and I can tell you that it's extremely difficult to pick up my suits without a scanner. I can hump people's legs before they realize I'm there. Granted, I'm not running like an assault or heavy. I keep off the front lines and pick off anyone attempting to flank my team, or I'll go flank them.
Scouts do need some sort of speed increase. I semi-agree with sprint reloads, though that is more of an Assault strong thing. I'm not talking about role playing a scout in pub matches. Also, most of the "scouts" (well, assaults using light frames) I know that are relevant brick tank their suits. I'm talking like over 700 armor for a proto gallente light suit.
An there in lies the problem with the suit really. Sure you can try an "scout" in pub matches an FW but in PC all that flies out the window.
