I'd say that's a point in a case to add EWar info to the HUD.
Instant thoughts are maybe some small numbers around the map radar for Profile, Precision, and maybe Range.
Perhaps have them change color (and/or blink) if the value changes from what you had when you spawned.

Or perhaps an optional / toggleable element that's more substantial, though I'm sure that's quite a bit more work.

You'll probably need some kind of similar way to deliver info for command suit bonuses to recipients as well, wont you?

Every, Single, CCP. Dev. I've. Seen. On. The. Forums. Is. CALDARI.

Minmatar scout melee bonus is still less than medium frame melee, even when maxed out; its also weird for it to get a bonus to another race's weapon (nova knives are Caldari). The 5% hacking speed bonus (which seems like its going to be removed from the Minmatar logi) would be perfect on a scout given that they have the speed to quickly and stealthily reach objectives.

An alternative would be to have the hacking bonus was the role bonus for all scouts, and the Minmatar scout bonus was to the efficacy of biotic modules (kinkats, stimulants, and myofibrals), 10% per level.

Would there be any possibility of tying in a melee damage boost to an increased damage output of nova knives? It just feels logical.

That works, though I still think there should be a scout with a hacking bonus.

The bonuses from the test servers in general seem pretty good, though the assault ones are pretty bad. The ROF bonus buffs the AR, RR (and maybe the CR), but not the SCR (nerfing it by ommision). On top of that, the removal of the Amarr assault's heat buildup reduction bonus is a much bigger nerf. The ROF bonus would make a SCR disincentivized on an assault suit because the bonus is wasted on it.

Instead of HP/rep bonuses, assaults should have bonuses that enhance their race's weaponry. You guys had the right idea with the heat bonus.
Amarr: 5% heat buildup per level of laser weapons per.
Minmatar: 5% magazine size per level of projectiles and explosives per level.
Gallente: 5% reload speed of hybrid-blaster weapons per level.
Caldari: something...

As for the role bonus, the 4 racial rifles should receive a 10% damage nerf, but the role bonus should give a 2% light weapon damage increase per level, so they will be as strong as they currently are to a maxed out assault, and ensure assaults are better slayers than logis without making the weapons overpowered and hurting TTK.


Also back on scuts, I love the Caldari scout idea of increasing the enemy's precision (so counter-intuitive in regular language though that more precision means less effective at sensing).

Oooh, a reduction to damage. That sounds really nice... so long as you don't decrease the damage on Sniper Rifle, shotgun, or nova knives, all of which are under-performing .

And it is really nice to see a Dev comment on this thread, however CCP Remnent are you aware that there is a 348+ page long thread by scouts and about scouts that exists on general discussion?
Because coming in and talking on a thread by someone that has not been around very long nor no know place in the scout community really does not help balance or get the opinions of the majority of the players that use the Scout suit.

im okay with it, how ever I would like to see other light frame variants for hacking, assassination and battlefield intel.

that said current iterations need two equipment slots more then ever and the pg/cpu buff to go with it.

Pardon?

So no more NK/MD fits huh?
