As of right now, with the talk about possibly nerfing HP for certain Sentinel Dropsuits, I feel this attention should be more shifted towards Scouts.
As it stands right now, Scouts do not have balance as far as their pros/cons. The model we were informed a Scout would have is speed and stealth in sacrifice of HP.
Their speed/stealth : HP Ratio is off the charts in respects to Heavy and Medium Frames.
Consider lower base HP for Scouts. As they shot simply not be able to tank beyond 600 EHP and still carry their passive bonuses and inherit skill-sets.

All Scouts can tank very high HP, and still be faster, stealthier, and carry racial bonuses. Where is their balance on the field? Especially now that they have 2 equipment slots. Why would anyone use an Assault or Logi medium when a Scout can do it, and with more advantages.
Now I know, Scouts b*tched pre1.8 that their suits weren't role specific enough, but that was simply false, as it just took a thing called skill. But giving them everything they ever wanted is not balance. Just like when tanks got everything they ever wanted in 1.7. I'm looking for balance, not nerf, buff, nerf, buff, nerf, buff cycles.
As far as some Scouts not tanking HP, and just using their passive and inherit: that's the risk they chose to take in sacrifice in other roles. If they are sacrificing HP, it is because they are excelling in other areas over their medium frame cousins. It is no different than a medium frame not tanking HP in favor of other modules (which I wish the playerbase would do more often)
The description of Scouts was less HP in favor of special abilities. Now, they get to keep those abilities (have them amplified in 1.8 actually) and not sacrifice their HP.
