I have barebones skills to fit this suit out (scouts 1, weak core) as I'm primarily a tanker, and I gotta say that the near invincibility granted to me by ducking under most scanners is completely worth the EHP loss, since, well, I'm never spotted long enough for EHP to really come into play.
I'm not against a scout buff, as you guys have been given the short end of the stick since day 1, but you don't nearly have it as bad as you try to lead everyone else to believe.
I guess there's no real point to this post. I'm loving what little scouting skill I have, and look forward to the definitely happening infantry respec come 1.8 (should CCP want to have a job to come back to the following day).

Scouts definitely need a buff, but as my CEO says, "if you die all the time you don't know how to use it"
Also: "scan attempt prevented" are among the most beautiful words in the English language.

I'm guessing you had 1 good game with that fit and came on the forums to tell us.
I suggest playing more with it.
However you are right. Ducking under scanners is worth the hp loss.

You must have gotten lucky in terms of your opponents. Against baddies, a STD strafing damped scout is extremely effective. Against people with half-decent situational awareness (AKA eyes) and aim, you're going to get wrecked. Or, you can still do solidly, but it's certainly nothing approaching "near invincibility". |

Oh, you were using AR. Try running shotty or Knives and then come back.
I don't agree with the hp buffs some fake scouts may be talking about, but I'm all for a slight speed buff. Make our sprint speed noticeable when running next to a med frame. |

However you are right. Ducking under scanners is worth the hp loss. Nope, I actually have stopped tanking to do my weak ass lone wolf scout thing. I have yet to make a significant impact on any game I play (I have yet to go negative though), but good god is it fun.

It basically took until now to realize the gist of your post OP.
I have profile dampening level V and my assault suits can get under basic scanners without any dampening modules.
I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.

I use what I want to use. Shotguns don't fit my playstyle, so I don't use them (plus, I have a BPO, so... might as well use it). I do have another fit with ADV NK, and I have a newfound respect for the knifers out there.

I came across a trio the other day that travelled across the whole map in a triangle formation (1 heavy and 2 logis) and there was nothing I could do. They couldn't see me but they were constantly visually covering corners and enter/exit points so now way to approach them without being seen.
Probably will see more of that come 1.8 with all invisible scouts out there. |

Its terrible for a scout, not being seen, speed to run circles, humour watching remotes in action over n over, tank kills, heavy kills, logi kills....
Also take the reactive plate off, thrown on a kitkat, a lot more fun.

The plate is only on there because I have decent armor tanking skills and 0 biotics. I thin I have a militia BPO for it though, I could try that out.

I also found running a scout to be much better than I thought it would be, my biggest problem is I switch back and forth from assault and scout and the 2 are a totally different way to play. A totally different mindset, but scout is a ton of fun most of the time. Right now I need my assault suits as well for more straight up fights, but that may not even be the case come 1.8 as I'll be able to create a gallente scout with nearly as much tank as my Minmatar assault.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

If it weren't for 1.8, this is what I'd be working towards. If you'v egot the skills for it, give it a try al
Scout gk.0 (All relevant skills to V)
Highs Complex Light Damage Mod
Lows Complex KinCats x3 Complex ProfDamp
Weapons CreoDron Shotgun
Sidearm / Grenade / Equipment to taste
Highlights
Invisible - Can only be scanned by a Duvolle Focused, and that scan duration / target visibility duration are both only 5s. If you've been scanned, you know exactly what you're up against. Note: If you want to hide from focused scanners, you need 4 Complex ProfDamps and I didn't feel like that was worth it. Maxed skills and a single MLT ProfDamp is enough to hide you from all active scanners except the Duvolle Focused.
Fast - Can sprint at 10.73m/s for 21s. That's 225m without needing to recharge your stamina. He might go all the all.
Deadly - People ***** about the shotgun, but really, you're gonna slaughter just about everything except that one brick tanked proto heavy. Wahh! This is a one hit kill for a lot of things, two for most.
In terms of going fast and not being seen, this out does the Scout mk.0 in every aspect.

The big problem in scouts is the price vs reward vs risk.
When other suits have a better reward for the lack of risk for the same price, that's the problem.

I have done so in worse. My best games have been shotgunning in a Light Frame with basic and enhanced gear. Put whatever weapon in there you're good with. Either way, it's funny how HP doesn't matter when you don't get shot.
Hint: Don't be seen.
But then, I shouldn't have to tell that to a character named "Scout Registry", should I?

EDIT: Thanks to some wise advice from a poster, I have since swapped the plate for a BPO red pill thingy. Awesome that you are having fun with this, it really is a great time. I don't think I could play this game without a scout suit.
As far as not having it as bad as we make it out to be, I can understand you saying that, not having been in a scout suit before the changes that have happened. It was worse when every installation on the map showed you on the radar, stealth meant nothing then. As soon as you approached an objective, Turret, SD, of CRU, you were as visible as if you had been scanned. And with the layout of some maps this pretty much meant you were seen everywhere
