I would have to question you where you speak of Caldari scouts with 400 shield and 300 armor .

You do know that they have only two low slots right and if they had three hundred armor then they had no regen abilities if they had all maxed out proto gear like your saying .

I just don't know with the way people come on the forums and exaggerate , I mean .. why do that ..??.. just state the fact's and prove your point .

Yeah , we want to be funny and keep it interesting but just state the facts , people should be able to trust one's word and now we have to do a fact check .

ive seen cal scouts with over 400 shields and over 300 armor, just max out shield and armor skills, fit 4 comp shields, 2 enh plates, and a rep hive, not very difficult

I would like to push the idea of scouts having only one light weapon and not a sidearm anymore and the pilot suit having twin sidearm slots and two grenade slots with one equipment slot .

Some might have brought this up before but I just wanted to ask what some might think and hopefully we can get the pilot suits in 1.9 with content fixes , I for one wouldn't care if it was no new content but just balancing and fixes .

"I see that enemy races have opposite bonuses except for the Amarr and Minmatar..."
The Amarr and Minmatar are half of the factions in the game, meaning that only 50% of the factions have counter-acting bonuses. It's not a theme among all races, especially since there's only the one example.

The Caldari and Gallente have a lot of shared history, and that's why the factions are so close in a lot of attributes. The Minmatar and Amarr do not have that sort of relationship.

And anyways, the Minmatar scout can already run faster and farther than the Amarr scout, because the Minmatar's stamina regens fast enough to outpace the extended stamina of the Amarr scout. The Amarr scout is a marathon runner, able to go the distance, but the Minmatar scout is a sprinter that needs only 3 seconds to catch his breath.

I posted my reply on this awhile ago you are right Amarr and Minmatar SHOULD BE opposite. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=157369&p=3

This one is a tough one alright....but why not break down the suits and see how well they are pitted against Pro's and Con's?

For Gallente: PRO's

1.) Best Dampeners=Stealthiest
2.) Ranges
3.) Armor Rep
4.) Second Fastest Scout

CON's
1.) Not good on Precisions (Passives)
2.) Stamina is Alright

For Caldari: PRO's
1.) Best Precisions=See's Everything
2.) Ranges
3.) Faster Shield Regen.

CON's
1.) Not good on Dampening (Passives)
2.) Stamina is Lowest
3.) Slowest Scout

For Minmatar:
1.) Fastest Hacking (Passively)
2.) Melee Proficient
3.) Fastest Suit

CON's
1.) Squishiest
2.) Alright on Precions, Damps, Ranges
3.) CPU/PG is low

For Amarr:
1.).....................
2.).....................
3.).....................

And that's the Problem, there is nothing Amarr has that the other Scouts can do better, IMO I think the Amarr should be the polar opposite of Minmatar, essentially their Nemesis. (Like Gallente and Caldari) The Amarr Scout should have MORE stamina then Minmatar, Counter hacks fastest, and has slightly higher bonus to eHP (passives) then all the other Scouts. (Melee damage could be buffed but that's up for debate) That's just my two cents on it.

That's all good and fun; but what happens to the Minmatar scout? Bonus to sprint speed? You're going to need to provide a solution rather than just stating a problem for the Amarr. And it doesn't really make sense to make the Minmatar the stamina demons without making speed significant enough, and I would be okay with losing our bonuses in favor of more speed, but it also doesn't make sense for Amarr to be hackers. Even though they really don't have a role, hacking definitely wouldn't be one, and neither would NK.

Minmatar would have the highest speed, nothing will change from that, but the Amarr should have the most stamina (Minmatar being second) because they are essentially meant to catch up in the long run.

I know the Amarr isn't necessarily E-War based but c'mon they have nothing else that's a passive ability all the other Scouts have 3 things, Amarr has 1.

And equipment based stuff would not make ANY SENSE because the suit already has PLENTY of CPU & PG to fit almost anything on.

Also the reason I said SLIGHTLY more health is because they are tankier then the Mini.

Plus they are Scouts not Light Assaults.

No I'm pretty sure they're light assaults because they lack any ewar capabilities the one important thing that describes a scout.

I smell a discrepancy with CCP's logic then because I buy my Amarr AK.0 Scout suit in the Scout section haha
