Does the game currently increase a dropsuits scan profile when they are fitted with Shield Extenders or Armor plates?
If not, I think it should. I think this would help with the sneaky scouts that have more EHP than some assaults or logis...it could allow the assaults/logis to possibly see them sooner or it may discourage some scouts for brink tanking so much...
Does anything increase Scan Profile?

Armor already has a penalty, just it isn't high enough to discourage scouts using them. If the penalty were higher and ferroscales were less fittings heavy, scouts would use them instead and the scout tanking problem would be far reduced.
shield extenders already have their penalty in a longer wait to regen and I agree the penalty for armor on scouts is rather low --> thus maybe adding another penalty to both, increasing scan profile...

I found the delay increase to shields odd considering, as the OP pointed out, EVE shield extenders boost the signature profile of the ship.
Agreed.

regardless of how small this impact may be, I still continue to think it makes sense and would like to see it done.
I am not sure about the hit box think, I kinda don't think it makes sense, but maybe. I'd still be nice to see the red dot on the radar and the red chevron first.
