I don't think many players will have the patience for it. They will gravitate to higher EHP fits which fill more generic roles post initial interest. I don't think PC will every truly be a player for cloaked scouts when a pair of logis could clear the point much faster.
The point we doom sayers are making is that UNLESS something changes with the assault suits that theoretically scout suits (at least Gallente) will only suffer a 100 or so EHP decrease compared to assaults with oh so much more upside due to the reasons the OP listed.
I would personally like to see scouts stay as they are and assault suits and logis get a little more EHP bonus to balance it out and bring TTK up. That's where I'm coming from, leave the new suits be but keep in mind they are getting improved while, to me at least, assault is not getting improved nearly as much and logis are getting nerfed a little.
And yes I understand scout and heavy suits deserve some buffing compared to the med. frames, but that doesn't mean they need to be improved to OPness. A rotation of which class is currently OP compared to others is not balance it is just a cycle of a section of the player base being angry.
I think a can build the new Gallente scout to be the frontline flanking combat suit I've struggled hard to play with Minmatar assault and I can't wait to try it out, however, it would be nice for people who want to stick with something like Mimatar assault to be viable as well. |

As O'Dell and Legend have done with Tanks, we Scouts -- if necessary -- will be the among the first in the Forums with specific complaints and fix recommendations. Should imbalance prove in our favor, we will make every effort to see our suit returned to Hard Mode roots. Honorable but be warned those of us who tried to discuss issues with Forge Guns were drowned out by calls to nerf. In Dust 514 emotional nerfing beats rationale discourse all the time. I wish you and Ghost K all the best. Thanks! Also, since when did I become nameworthy?  Knowledgable and helpful people tend to get stuck with dirty tasks. When the grievances start flying it will be from all kinds of people both good and bad. Some of those who respond will be doing it in a genuine earnest way. Based on your past behaviors I'm betting you are one of them. It's practically a forgone conclusion Cloaks and Scouts are going to get flak. Observing how people rise to the challenge will be interesting.
Stahp it. You're making me blush 
lol. Thanks. I try to be as impartial as possible when discussing things. Byproduct of being a Science Major.
Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face.
Minmatar. In Rust we trust.
