Suggestions I'd like:
- ~10-15 hp armor bonus per level.
OR:
- 5% bonus to the efficacy of armor plates per level.
OR:
- A bonus to cloaking. Can't say in which way because I have no idea how cloaking is going to work.

Alternatively:
- current stamina bonus AND 5% bonus to passive scan range per level (notice the lack of profile dampening or precision enhancement)

My vision for the Amarr Scout is that it should be the one suit best suited for a straight up fight. It doesn't have the ehp a medium suit has, but instead relies on either cloaking or passive scanning (at a low precision) to get the drop on whatever it hunts. Once the opening blow has been dealt with a charged Scrambler Rifle shot and the victim is at half health the Amarr Scout has the ehp to see the fight through to the end. If the victim had had a good scanner it would've seen the threat coming.

Example fitting for an Amarr Scout: (slot layout of the proto suit, adapt as necessary)
High slots:
- 2x damage mod
Low slots:
- 2x ferroscale plates
- 2x scan range extender
Light weapon:
- Scrambler Rifle
Eq:
- Any mixture or drop uplink, cloaking device, nanohives or remote explosives

Okay, why don't we just remove Amarr Logis from the game then while we're at it...
Its not enough that we get a crappy racial bonus in 1.8, but now we should have to compete with the scouts for it?

Why not a % bonus to the hp of ferroscale armor?

Remember guys absolutely NO cloak bonuses. One noisy part of this community argued and fought about scouts having no specific cloak bonuses.

Corrected. You're welcome.

Not that I demand a cloak bonus, but it shouldn't be off the table. One could argue that the Amarr suit would profit the most from cloaking due to it's lack of mobility. It's lack of scan precision, scan range and scan profile reduction also call for an alternative means of stealth than scanning.

Remember guys absolutely NO cloak bonuses. This community argued and fought about scouts having no specific cloak bonuses. I still standby the current stamina/regen bonus being useful for a scout though not entirely interesting.

The bonus to ferroscale it's a actually a pretty cool idea. I like the idea of a fitting cost reduction to laser weaponry. The SCR and pistol have pretty high fitting costs. A reduction to both of these will free up more resources for extra tank or extra gank. Heat damage reduction is also very good considering the very low HP of scouts. Perhaps even a reduction to seize time. Heat reduction bonuses with the way SCR is now throws the weapon out of balance and makes it far too good at close ranges when it is a mid-long distance weapon.

A resistance skill would be very useful for a scout and would make sense for amarr who are meant to soak up more damage.

I think any bonus to tanking (ferroscale, etc.) would be misguided. Scouts aren't supposed to be tanking roles, and you're starting in the hole somewhat as it stands since the closest assault (Minmatar) is slightly faster than you, has more slots, and more hp.

The stamina bonus, while meager, at least works on a similar theory of utility/mobility. Something related to putting people down while not necessarily tanking (scrambler or weapon bonuses), sprint/kincat, etc. bonuses make more sense than just trying to make the Amarr Scout into a crappier assault suit.

Here I'm going to make a list of all the possibilities of a new bonus.

Primary:
Increased ammo clip size.
5% to kin cat effectiveness.
2% to Scp rate of fire.

Secondary:
5% to stamina regain rate and max.

I was hoping for something more interesting :(

And if you been paying attention the bonuses only effect the suit itself not its use with modules.

5% Stamina max, regen and 5% reduction in stamina consumption

They haven't published the new, proposed assault stats yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the speeds on them.

The Uplinks bonus should be for scouts not Logi.
What Amarr bonus should be :
20% Max stmaina per level.
10% regain rate per level.
And the drop uplinks bonus.


Amarr Logi has always supposed to be a "Combat Engineer" the "Support fire" the "frontline Logi"providing support with his equipements AND with some support fire from himself.
Just set uplinks IS NOT a role for Logi but for scout.

so it gives zero boost to mods?

who thinks of this trash

I could get behind that but then what bonus do you give the Amarr logi? I plan on using both suits and am big on uplinks like an Amarr should, so shifting the bonus makes sense, but we then need to give the logi a new bonus. Do you propose a more offensive-minded bonus? If so, it would have to be carefully chosen to avoid any further complaints about killer bees. Maybe something about clip size so our nanohives can be reserved for others? Or perhaps a better idea would be a defensive bonus to plates of some kind. (Or the inherent armor rep might be nice....,)
