The Caldari Scout racial bonus is 5% scan radius per level and 5% scan precision per level. At level 5, this is the equivalent of one free standard range amplifier and one free complex precision enhancer (actually a little more since complex precision enhancers are 20%)
The Gallente Scout racial bonus is 5% scan radius per level and 5% profile signature reduction per level At level 5, this is the equivalent of one free standard range amplifier and one free complex profile dampener.
The Minmatar Scout racial bonus is 5% hacking speed and nova knife damage per level. At level 5, this is the equivalent of one free complex code breaker and multiple free complex sidearm damage modifiers
And now for the fun part, The Amarr Scout racial bonus is 5% stamina recovery and max stamina per level. At level 5, this is the equivalent of less than one basic cardiac regulator, and that's it. A basic cardiac regulator does 25% more stamina and 50% more stamina recovery.
So all other races get a free complex module and then some, but Amarr scout gets the short end of the stick here. I think it would be more than fair to bump this bonus to 20% stamina recovery and max stamina per level, which at level 5 would be 100% bonus to each which is the equivalent of one complex cardiac regulator.

Yes and Cardiac regulator is the modules that takes the less PG/CPU... So this bonus is pretty ridiculous. The same with AT LEAST the equivalent of a proto cardiac regulator will be balanced. |

Even this is kind of bleh (hooray! I can run slowly for a very long time!). A stamina bonus may be somewhat necessary to make up for the Amarr being slow, but I would rather have something interesting. One thought would be for Amarr scouts to be sabotage focused. So maybe a bonus to proxi mines and remote explosives in addition to a modest stamina bonus (Minmatar get hacking and knives). Something like 5%/level to stamina and 10%/level to remote explosive/proxi mine vehicle damage might be interesting.

Chances are Amarr Scout will get the highest Stamina and regen rate, As their Logi/Assault do.... So the bonus will certainly make an impact So many Amarr players moan over their lower speed while none pay attention to the fact that your stamina buff negates the speed penalty .... An Amarr suit can almost equal anyone elses travel time due to their higher stamina And we haven't seen the layouts so far.... so tough to make a call yet

I noticed the following stats.

[Race] [Max Stamina] [Stamina Rech. Rate] Caldari, 200/30 Gallente, 200/30 Minmatar, 210/35 Amarr, 225/40
Now lets compare this to the other classes. The best Commando suit (listed in the spreadsheet linked above) with the highest stamina and recharge rate is the Amarr Commando at 180/25.
The Assault suit (currently) with the best stamina and recharge is the Minmatar Mk.0 with 175/15.
The Logistics suit (currently) with the best stamina and recharge is the Logistics Ak.0 with 140/15.
The Amarr scout, without fittings, is technically the best scout suit with the most maximum stamina and recover of any suit in any class. It also has 2H and 4L. Compared to other suit classes, this makes the Amarr Scout favorable to those who prefer endurance across long distances.
Of course, the bonus only means that the effect will equal to one STD stamina mod compared to the bonuses that other suits in the same class get, but when taking into account the stamina amount and recovery of the Amarr Scout, this is not so bad.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

I just don't see an issue with this. Besides, the scouts are getting a lot of love overall. More CPU/PG, more high/low slots, more equipment slots, balanced out bonuses (yay! Mini Scout Hackers!), and finally racial parity.

It is really simple, what does it take for another race's scout to match (not exceed, match) the other scouts inate bonus:
Gallente: 1 basic scanr rdius module, 1 complex profile dampner, 1 enhanced armor repper +3 modules, 1 proto, 1 enhanced, 1 basic
Caldari: 1 basic scan radius module, 1 complex scan profile enhancer, (almost) 1 basic scan profile enhancer +3 modules, 1 proto, 2 basic
Minmatar: (more than) 3 complex damage mods, 1 complex code breaker, (almost) 1 basic code breaker +5 modules, 4 proto, 1 basic
Amarr: about 2/3rds of a militia module +1 one module, 1 militia
Pretty easy to see as far as scouts go
minmatar>>>>>>>>gallente>caldari>>>>>>>>>>amarr
EDIT: module differences include stacking penalties for the suit that would be equipping it.
While there is no better place to be wealthy than the Gallente Federation, there is no hell worse for the poor either.

Just because scout as a whole are getting a lot of love doesn't mean you should ignore this obvious weak racial bonus. My point is that the stamina bonus really only partially mitigates the inherent weakness of the Amarr being slow (which is a MAJOR f*cking downside on a suit whose whole purpose is to be fast/agile). If that's all it gets, there is very little reason to choose it over any other scout suit. Giving it some interesting role (like sabotaging vehicles for example) would give people a reason to look past its major shortcomings. What would be wrong with a 10%/level damage increase to remote explosives/proxi mines vs. vehicles in addition to a modest stamina bonus?

This suit will be a beast.... Most important stat is speed. Stamina is still important. Gallente scout also has 2H 4L. Also this thread has stated many times why increasing the stamina bonus on the suit that already has the most stamina would in fact not be over powered at all and easily countered.

Again that's not the point. That is our racial balancing inclination. Its like taking the speed from the Minmatar are saying "While all your friends are getting nice shiney new bikes you can have this ****** unicycle."
We should not have to barter with the statistics that make the Amarr unique to have a fair and balanced bonus on par with the other racial groups.

Your crazy......
Give a smart scout this suit layout and he will rock it Speed is useless without stamina so having the stamina bonus will be awesome
with one or two Cardiac Regs this suit will clear 500m without stopping for breath
With proto Amarr scout L5, Biotics L5, Cardiacs L5
this suit will easily hit 1000m and not have to stop

this suit will easily hit 1000m and not have to stop But it wouldn't have good scan precision, profile dampening, or hacking speed. Again, let me state this as clearly as possible about how this stamina bonus would be easily countered.
When you add a complex cardiac regulator to a Caldari or Gallente suit, they can sprint for 42 seconds. When you add a complex cardiac regulator to a Minmatar suit, they can sprint for 44.1 seconds. This isn't really far off from 45 seconds, which the Amarr scout would have if the bonus was in line with a complex cardiac regulator. When you consider that these suits are faster, they would also travel more distance in this shorter time. And yes, it is fair that these suits would have to use a slot to achieve similar stamina performance, because an Amarr would also have to use a slot if it wanted to achieve similar profile dampening, scan precision, or hacking speed.

Scouts are under-powered.... Its part of the parcel when wearing a Light suit
As a scout myself I think the Amarr scout will be worth speccing into Caldari/Gallente will be the 'stealth' scouts Minmatar/Amarr will be 'combat' scouts
I think they will make 4 fun and individual roles

Assuming your Amarr Scout is level 5 and you fit a single Complex Cardiac Regulator
562 stamina / 100 stamina per second recovery.
Basically that's 295 meters of marathon running with about 5 1/2 seconds of downtime.
Kinda makes sense that they didn't give it a built in complex cardiac regulator otherwise you diminish the value of fitting them. Just my opinion.

Is that not so with the other modules though? Lvl 5 Gallente would never need to fit a profile dampener for the most part, the Min would never need to fit a code breaker.... or consequently would for a 5.8 Sec hack which is very much so over powered.
Why should 3/4 of scouts excel in scout based roles while one does not?

We hace between 3- 0.9 sec more sprint time if we got our bonus and they got their complex Cardiac Regulator
Much like the Min Scout gets a 25% faster hack, we also get this bonus if we stack a complex Code breaker.
Much like the Gall Scout gets a 25% reduction to profile dampening, much like we get a 20% (I believe) if we fit a complex profile dampener.

Then all in all it is just a bad bonus to give the amarrian scout and they should choose a different one. There should be an equality in the effective modules benefited from the bonuses, and as it is the minmatar scout suit has 5 FREE MODULES and the amarr scout DOES EVEN HAVE ! FREE MODULE.
While there is no better place to be wealthy than the Gallente Federation, there is no hell worse for the poor either.
