DUST Search - Amarr scout racial bonus parity problem

Aero Yassavi wrote:

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.

Well spotted. I also have a problem with giving them stamina in the first place. There's a cut off point where any greater distance is better covered by LAV. The only exception I can think of is those times on open maps when I've laid a trail of uplinks towards an objective. And since the Amarr Scout isn't getting the Uplink bonus it should be, that point seems moot now anyway. No.

I'm picturing a scout with 2 complex cardiac regulators,2 complex armor plates/repair, Cloak Mmm no. +300% bonuses would be insane. Increase the bonus to a basic cardiac regulator,fine but no higher. Op is Op even in light form. In what situation is an abundance of stamina OP?????? No.

It's useless having that much stamina, and even with that aside, Cardiac Regs are some of the easiest modules to fit. There is little incentive to grab the scout instead of the light frame, when such a poor bonus is the reward. No.
