eHP on even the advanced suits, without sacrificing speed is in the mid 500s. You allow for speed sacrifice and its more like 700-800 (still a lot faster than most assaults at like 5.0/7.3).
Im fine with this, as I run a minmitar assault with dampeners to get my stealthy (sorta speedy) combat on. So ill be able to slide right in to one of the new scouts and go to town.
The inherent ability to avoid some active scanners is not that big if you do the math without modules included.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?

The inherent ability to avoid some active scanners is not that big if you do the math without modules included. Actually it is. In order to avoid an advanced scanner, you need a complex profile damp on assaults. Scouts have that built in lol
So?
Scouts are suppose to be that good at profile dampening compared to other classes. Why should all other suits be allowed to marginalize the scout so much?

Exactly. We scouts had to sacrifice so much in terms of armor and shield. We are scouts after all. That said, why shouldn't we be the go-to suits for stealth, recon, and infiltration?

I definitely see heavies and commandos being used a lot more than the scouts.

I agree with Ozarow. Us scouts have had it rough for the past year and I will be angry as hell if the scouts get nerfed once again because people will think they are OP when they might not be. We have trained vigorously as scouts to fight in suits that are so handicapped that we are finally happy for once in our lives to see scouts getting the love they deserve. And we will be damned if we let scouts get nerfed once again.

I think all the different suits will have a nice role to play. Scouts will have way less dmg projection and HP than all the other suit types. You will be sorely disappointed if you have never played scout and you spec into it, thinking it will be OP. We still have less HP, less CPU/PG than any other suit class in the game.
It may sound scary to face a scout with 500hp in shields but a flux nade will give them 80hp and a long delay to get it back. I don't think they will be OP. There will actually be interesting game mechanics to employ now instead of stack a single mod and proto weapon.
All I can say to those wanting to flip over to scout. Good luck and welcome to hard mode. The current scouts will let CCP know if we are OP. We don't want it to be FOTM or OP.
Spot on.
Veteran scouts will be the ones to truly tell if the suit is OP or not after the changes. Not some inexperienced noob who is trying out scouts for the first time.
