What if the Infantry Equipment Slot on the Scout(s) and Assault(s) were to be removed?
(This includes the Basic Frame)

(This includes the Basic Frame) Are people still crying about logi nerf? And yes, I think this is a great idea but assaults should be able to carry hives, whilst scouts - scanners and remotes.
This has nothing to do with the Logistics class. I just wanted to see what the community would think about this happening.

(This includes the Basic Frame) Scouts would be garbage Assaults would be garbage
Why would they be garbage? They could still perform their role just as well without an equipment slot.
(NOTE: I do not want to remove the EQ slot from these classes, I'm just pondering)

How would scouts perform their role without any equipment? How could they survive long enough to have passive scanning work for them, why would they want to when Active scanners show your entire team the enemy.
How would they get to forward positions and leave uplinks?
How would they act as snipers if they had to run to a supply depot all the time?
The last thing a scout should want to do is fight an enemy.
Assaults maybe....but there would be no point in choosing assault over logi.
The scout is a stealth suit used for recon and survellance. Spamming uplinks is not part of it's role clearly defined by CCP.
It doesn't require an active scanner, as there are modules to increase your passive scan radii and precision.
Assaults are for assault and the frontline. They also require no equipment to perform it's role clearly defined by CCP.
Plus, I don't see the logic a Light Frame being able to carry equipment. Or a "light" weapon for that matter.
(I'll +>9k you if you manage to find the problem(s) with this logic and ideal.)

(This includes the Basic Frame) Of course, If you remove the EQ slot from assaults its only fair Logis Loose their Grenade slot...
Fair enough.
The logistics class does not require a grenade slot to perform the role specifically defined by CCP

They do not aid you team though. A scout should be recon, it should be able to upload its findings to TACNET.
Uplinks behind enemy lines is a viable and legitimate strategy that can alter the balance of power on objectives, I never said spam uplinks, but carefully sneaking close to an objective with uplinks is a useful tool.
Scouts don't need light weapons to be effect true enough, but a scout really need two equipment slots to be able to EWAR in future.
Not quite. Passive scans are shared with the squad, so you will be able to relay your findings to your squad members. And even if you couldn't, communication is key here.
Drop uplinks aren't necessary in terms of stealth, surveillance, and infiltration. While they may be useful, it is not required to fulfill your role.
So you think we should remove light weapons from Scout Suits?

No it doesn't. Why would I want some guy running around repping me with what is literally a MLT Repair Tool with lower fitting requirements.
You don't even get WP for using MLT/STD repair tools.
