Rei! I've been wondering where you've been, hiding in that EU timer are ya >:)
As a day 1 ScR + ak.0 user I feel the same way; the best bonus in the game, that makes an assault suit better at assaulting... sighh
I've managed to save nearly 6 million SP towards the release of 1.7 and I finally spent it on getting proto on the new rifles and a Scout gk.0! and I <3 it :) So while you've been running around in with your RR I've been running a scout mostly with the combat rifle and ScP or SMG combo, I'm really enjoying the (literal) change of pace.
I equip the RR for long range open ground areas and the CR for close range armor killing extravaganza but in the end the ScR is the only weapon I feel comfortable with. I'm extremely sad to think that I'm going to lose my beloved heat sink that was so useful for my playstyle, which involved firing volleys of a Charge shot + 3 or 4 shots in very quick succession, the heat sink allowed me to produce 3 maybe 4 volleys depending on my heat management and sidearm usage; it took about 5 patches while fighting you and Lea Silencio until I finally felt that I have mastered the weapon and my playstyle. And now I guess it is time for me to adapt once more.
I've recently been running a PC fit which included my Viziam ScR in a gk.0 scout in hopes to get used to the limited engagement capabilities of running it without an assault ak.0; this means 2 volleys and 1 charge shot before a complete overheat :( but I'm getting a lot better and clever about switching to my sidearm, flying in and out of cover, and simply positioning myself better and with the scout suit I am able to do that more efficiently (and invisibly) compared to my lumbering ak.0 suit
In all honesty if you look at the bonuses both Caldari and Gallente are getting more raw EHP and Minmatar are getting an increase in DPS in terms of damage mod efficacy; in other words their bonus either keeps them alive longer or allows them (minmatar) to kill faster. From this I don't understand the reasoning to remove the amarr assault bonus, keeping it would be the more logical decision
Gallente and Caldari: Plate and Extender bonus = More EHP
Minmatar and Amarr: Dmg Mod and Heat Sink bonus = More DPS
What do you think rei?
All in all I've managed to get to a point in my SP progression to gain and nearly max out a second suit so I'm not completely heartbroken, but heartbroken nonetheless. The Sinwarden will just never be the same :(
EDIT: I was actually going to start a threat to summon you and discuss these rumored changes but lo and behold you beat me to it ^_^

We need to fight again Rei, I feel like I'm losing my touch. Although I went back to my roots and ran an ADV ak.0 with the templar, and it felt like the days of old again :)
I've gotten addicted to speed and running a scout has been very good practice for me.
Its sad to think that ScR specialists like you and myself are already talking about parting with the ak.0; the suit has been my whole Dust career... I AM the Sinwarden...

To be completely honest, I'm sticking with the ak.0 and ScR too, I'll keep using it and just try to adapt.
