Passive scan is neat, but for most suits it's stupidly small.
Except for scouts, except since it isn't shared with the squad, it's not so useful (scouts being squishy etc)
If scouts could share scan results with their squad, then
1. it would encourage them to fit range extenders and/or precision amps in some situations (up from 'never')
2. They would find a role separate from 'lolscouts just use active scanner', since they don't let reds know they turned up on scan
3. They would reclaim the equipment slot that may have been an active scanner
4. scout suits actually have a scouting bonus
Discuss.

Add in Intel kill assist points. Also, show the squad those I'm tracking in my sights for the same effect. This is what scouts do, gather Intel and give it to those that need it.
That is a good idea and you should feel good.
(edit: not 100% sure about intel assists just for looking at someone, but definitely intel assists for passive scanning)

No I don't think so, scouts can share scan data if they just do like the rest of us, whip out a scanner and spin in a circle so everyone can see that flashlight bobbing, there should be some risk involved.
Yeah I'm not seeing much risk in doing a 360 from 150m away, compared to getting within 35m of the enemy wearing a suit with no HP.

Not that passive scans would work inside a tank, but that's not actually any worse than an active scanner now.

People would really shout nerf that scouts are OP for scouting?

This also reduces my chances of scoring a kill myself. It is better that my squad knows they are being flanked, but a little compensation for the information should be rewarded.
This would encourage scout snipers (most snipers at the moment are logi or heavy just for the HP, so this would be a nice perk for the light frames)

In fact, isn't the sniper starter suit a light frame?
