While there are other things I want to see in the Scout, like an extra equipment slot, an extra high/low slot, etc, I am most excited for this and it isn't something that is talked about
The extra sidearm essentially gives better coverage, meaning scouts who chooses their engagements get to choose their best weapon for the encounter. This would be a boon for specialists weapon scout who can now compete with the generalists weapons users and make scouts stand apart from medium frames who use specialist weapons.
Sniper/ScP/NK,
LR/SMG/FL
Shotgun/BP/SMG
or....
BP/NK/IP for some fun
So instead of the staying and stopping power of the medium frames, scout offensives would have utility to fit the scenario the scout finds itself in.
Add in that extra equipment slot and only a slight increase to cpu/pg means that scout builds will be different on the major sacrifice they have to choose in one of the three areas (mods, weapons, equipment)
Yay / Nay?

CPU/PG increase should be a given to CCP, and many scouts have talked about it for a long time, the sidearm thing is an aspect which has not been talked about.
In regards to a second light weapon, either the commando needs to be rebranded as a light frame or else you will cause an imbalance there, regardless it would be something other than a scout and be another light frame variant.
While I don't prefer this method, you could also have different racial scouts have different set ups between light weapon, sidearms and equipment slots layouts. But again I prefer that they fix the commando, whether that is a weight reduction on the unit or fixing its stats.

This is not "the" fix for the scout, I've literally made like several threads on that matter and abuse the scout thread for those fixes, this is more of a utility boom which has not been discussed before in any of the scout topics
