Around two months back I skilled into shotguns, knives and the Gallante Scout suit. I did it because I could no longer fight effectively with the Swarm Launcher and Minmatar Assault I had earlier.
I thought it was going to be incredibly hard, considering how much people complain. Though, I find them surprisingly easier to operate in. This is because of Scanners. I don't care how good you are, or say you are, you won't survive against 6 players with proto gear that are all chasing you down because they scanned you. This is especially true if you play solo like I do.
Now everytime I play something that is not a scout suit I get scanned and completely murdered by 3+ guys shooting me at the same time. Yet I can walk right around them in a scout suit and survive, and even shotgun them all down before they even see me. My Proto Minmatar Suit with 3 the HP can't even get half as many kills as my standard scout suit.
So much for Scouts not being viable

I use to think the same thing. But you will need to sacrifice two low slots to run dampeners and two more to a cardiac regulator and kinetic catalyzer. And yet, you still will not match me in jumping ability, nor profile dampening and you will never match me in walking speed. Also, at top levels I will get better dampening by running one standard dampener than you could with running three Complex; I would have more slots and more CPU/PG to run armor and damage modifiers.
And come 1.8, I will automatically avoid advanced scanners.
Check & mate.

The Gallente Scout, compared to the Minmatar Scout, is easy mode.
I was going to run the Minmatar Scout as it would allow me to run more armor. This is because I can run an Enhanced Armor mod and Enhanced Reactive Plate and still be faster than the Gallante Scout.
I decided against it because I would need to run dampeners anyway so that would not allow me to effectively armor tank while maintaining stealth. I don't think the Minmatar Scout is bad because of HP I think it is bad because:
