So, I am going to go against the Hive Mind in Scouts United here.
Don't hate me.
I think scouts will be fine with no Sidearm and two equipment slots. It will be the death of the "Light Assault" scout we have now, but if the cloak is a great offensive AND defensive equipment, it will let scouts fill a more Utility role on the Battlefield.
It will require a change in play-style. But we will survive, and may even come out of it better.
However, let me be clear. I ONLY support this if you make the class have better Utility abilities! Nobody wants to have the class become the current scout with no sidearm and two equipment. This will KILL the scout. It NEEDS to have a definite Stealth/Utility role to make this work.
Also, Minmatar Scout will be awesome if they give it the same treatment. It should be a scout focused on combat, so give it some abilities that increase it's viability to deal DAMAGE. Cloak will help this immensely if DONE RIGHT.
In short, this CAN work. But if you screw it up, scouts will be in the worse state they have EVER seen.
AND WE WILL BE PISSED.

By "Light Assault", I mean the fact that Scouts right now depend on kills and hacks for warpoints. We are a combat based class, believe it or not. We have no way to truly scout, and not enough EQ slots to actually have decent utility.
By dropping a sidearm, and giving us a second EQ slot, we would be making a move toward a less combat oriented scout, and a more utility oriented scout.
