What if instead scouts had the ability to "shed" their armor for a temporary burst of speed

Risk vs. Reward As a scout with no armourGǪ I can say there is no reward to that risk 
Perhaps for the minjas they could turn the energy used to maintain shields as a shield tanks counter part o shedding
Burst of immense speed that uses up the scouts shields instead of stamina

Sacrifice your shields to run further... Sacrifice your armor plates to run faster...
Ooh i like that. I was actually saying that shield usage will increase speed and not stamina because for that to work minjas need an innate speed buff

Risk vs. Reward The way this is proposed is even cooler than the OP since it gives control to the players.
So what it would be is: Built in feature of Scout suits
Gallente Scout: Able to "Shed" a specific amount of armor for a temporary increase in base speed; Nanites no longer focus on repairing armor and instead strengthens and overclocks the users muscles for increased biotic ability. Lasts for a specific amount of time and goes to cool down (Maybe even no cooldown since it would require that the scout shed its current armor to achieve an increased sprint speed, Shedding too often will lead to death
Minmatar Scout: Able to delegate shield generator power into increasing the suit's biotic ability thus augmenting the user's sprint speed for as long as shields allow (more shields, longer augmented sprint duration) effectively turning the shield generator into a makeshift suit capacitor; those crafty duct tape engineers.
Kira suggested that the minmatar scout use its shields as an augmented stamina bar, but this would only be useful for the suit if they buffed the Minja's innate sprint speed
thoughts? comments? concerns?

Seems like a separate topic that kinda popped up but yea, awesome idea (as long as it doesn't take away my profile buff)
Ideas can stem from any root :D
