After 1.4, I switched from using biotics on my gal scout and now use a basic armor plate and a basic reactive plate to make my scout have enough ehp to be usable. So around 310 without considering the bonus from the Shield & Armor skills.

- Fastest of all suits => Also the case. But not enough considering damage output \ HD \ aim assist.
Even though i hated them, i loved the time where i was seeing scouts going at the speed of light. They were troubling basterds and it seemed fun to play with. That got nerfed due to HD making hitting them a nightmare. So that would be my first pick for a buff. restore them as speed tankers.

- Sneakiest of all suits => it is since 1.6 it appears.

Overall, scouts should be deadly but require a very specific and demanding play style. The slightest error getting you killed. Does that match what you would expect of scouts ?

- Lowest HP amount of all suits => That's the case already. Scouts are made of paper. HD \ aim assist emphasize that a lot. Out of curiosity, how much HP do you usually have on your fits ?

Just like i'd love seeing heavies slower but a lot more deadly like they were a long time ago.

The most frustrating thing is that we are not as sneaky as it appears. Ill explain

1. Even with scout level 5 and profile dampening 5 we need to fit a profile dampener to evade prototype scanners. Does that sound balanced? A good balance would be if like cancels like. EX: scout level 3 evades adv scanners, scout level 5 evades proto scanners. There can be one scanner in each tier that would have a "higher precision rating" to help balance further.

2. Installations have a scan radius of 50m and perfect scan precision. We can't even go anywhere near an enemy controlled objective and expect to survive. Thats not sneaky. Either give scouts the ability to evade installations scan radius, or change installations precision to be more in line with the suits ( 30-46dB).

My adv scout, which I usually run has 260 shield and 80 armor. When I want to live for more than 1 second, I have ~equal shield and armor to the tone of ~430hp.

I would love a speed buff again.....especially since I adored the speed the old winmitar had...and the reason I choose it over gallente.

As for a speed buff, i'm not surprised you guys seemed to agree it would help. It's actually the main defense you have. But tbh, any kind of speed buff will remain useless as long as the aim assist is as strong as it is now. Usually playing KBM, i tried a controller last night and did some very ackward kills due to aim assist. Kills i never should have get. So combined to your low EHP no wonder you're getting crushed.

I wasnt aware of the thing you're bringing up in 2. And i dont get why it even exists. I can understand for Turrets as they need to be able to scan the area to fire at enemies. But perfect precision ? Hell that's weird. I'll remember that.

As for other installations\objectives. Why would they spot anything ?

Now regarding 1.
I dont think even a proto scout should be able to natively dodge a proto scanner. Actually, i'd say they should depending on the circumstances. Just like weapons have absolute range and effective range, i'd love the scanners to have a similar fall off system. Meaning that the radius of the scan may be 100m and 60-¦. But the precision of the scan should decrease over distance and edges of the angle.

There you'd have balance. A proto scout without supplemental profile dampener would dodge the proto scanner if not caught up at say less than 30m and directly facing the scanner. And a total sneaky scout would add a dampener and only be spotted when scanned at 10M for example.
