Currently, in order to get a decent passive scan, you have to sacrifice four slots, making your suit gimped anyway so that scan is useless.
If you could instead just use two slots for the same effect, that would make passive scanning actually viable.
It would also make precision enhancers/range amps more popular, as how it used to be is "well, I can put on a precision enhancer, but it's useless without a range amp", and vice versa.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

At least I think the division is there for that reason, if you want better combinations just tweak the stats on the suit, but I do believe that the current separation is there for a reason, so at the moment I am against combing them.
Scouts have no definitive roles yet.
No point in arguing about it, heck CCP themselves said that once the racial line up is out, scouts will have their roles rebalanced completely.
This isn't specifically a scout buff, rather a modulethatistotallyuselessexceptforwhenusedwith3903493049bonuses buff.

Quote:The Scout role will get very high PG/CPU bonuses to fitting cloak equipment, making it just about the only role that can feasibly fit a cloak field without having to sacrifice the rest of its fit. Individual race skill bonuses will create opportunities for cloaked scouts to scan further and longer than other dropsuits, to have less GÇ£shimmerGÇ¥ as they move, and have lower innate scan profiles so that they can be visually and electronically invisible. These should help create more useful assassins, intel gatherers, and saboteurs. And in time, the introduction of additional Scout specializations will be added to further push the boundaries of the little Light Suit That Could. There is a lot in that statement, seems they are shifting things around
Well, they seem to be more stealth focused rather than scan focused.

I mean if you noticed, the profile reduction is listed under as a racial bonus instead of the general scout bonus. In addition it mentioned scanning further and "longer" as a racial, which I found rather interesting because that could mean multiple things.
We'll see.
But I think combining these modules will only do good.
Like with the cardiac reg, used to be two separate modules, each relied upon each other too much so they combined those.
Now we have a similar situation, where Range amps and precision enhancers rely on each other too much, so it's either both or none, and it gets rather expensive slots wise.
