However, the Minmatar suit-skill-role bonus is also 5% hacking speed per level, right? Is it necessary to double up on the bonuses like that? Twice the innate suit bonus to hacking, and a per-level role-bonus for hacking as well?
Be nice to our scout suit. It's the weakest of the bunch. At least let us hack fast so we can run away.

Sana Rayya wrote:Scanning Feedback
With the new scout bonuses, it looks like the Gal Logi scanning precision bonus will be sticking around. So the new number for scouts to stay hidden will likely be 21dB.
Gal Scout will need Lvl 3 in Dampening and one Enhanced Dampener to dodge 21dB scans; all other scouts will need Lvl 5 Dampening and one Complex and one Enhanced Dampener. For 28dB scans, Lvl 5 Gal Scouts can dodge it naturally without any skill into dampening and other scouts will need Lvl 3 Dampening and one Enhanced Dampener.
So it looks like dampening may still be viable for scouts even if the Gal Logi bonus goes through. Unfortunately the same can't be said of dampening on medium frames, unless the base scan profiles for mediums are changed accordingly.
I saw this from Twitter:
@Haerr_Ernest: Scanners vs Scouts in 1.8: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvYSJ6FRJlihdFV1T1VuSXVneThMcnhUd1FhV2xHY2c&usp=sharing#gid=0
Nice visualization of the new scouts and scanning.

I had this idea in another thread but I'm posting it here for official feedback:
The Gallente and Caldari scouts are designed for electronic warfare with each other and it seems to be well balanced. The Amarr and Minmatar need to be similarly balanced.
The Minmatar has a well defined guerrilla role: fight dirty, backstab, take their stuff or blow it up. I see the Amarr as too proud to fight this dirty. Instead, their role is the righteous hitman. For those that refuse to see the light of their God they will force you to see it by shining it upon your brain. Give the Amarr a serious bonus to the already serious headshot damage of scrambler weapons. An Amarr assassin should be able to cloak up and one shot a Minmatar sentinel and then take out his partner.

There are plenty of systems and skills that are situational. The Minmatar scout's guerrilla tactics aren't much good in a quick ambush. Snipers aren't good for enclosed spaces. Profile dampening isn't useful in open spaces.

What are you referring to?

Can people please stop asking this now? Wrong answer. HMG and FG were the only heavy weapons in game, amarr sentinel got a bonus that didn't really help either much. Not to mention in over a decade CCP has never given any racial vehicle/dropsuit a bonus to the racial enemies weapons. Once again, why is a MINMATAR SUIT getting a bonus to an ENEMIES (the caldari) weapon?
According to one of the devs the Ishukone corporation has supported the Minmatar for some time now. That and CCP hasn't delivered Matari knives yet. Modelling them must be really difficult with all those moving parts.
Seriously. I'm not training knives past operations 3 until I get a native version.

But, it'll be my piece of scrap and duct tape made by my people. That means something to me.

The Minmatar should have better shield regen than the Caldari. The Caldari should be the big buffer race.
