So basically your nerfing scouts to side arms shotguns and plasma cannons? Really dude?

So does a full respec come with this plan since I ve always been a scout, have3 at proto, won't play another suit ,and you wanna trash all my points in scr, rr,Ar, and Cr, and leave me with NERFED useless sidearms like the faylock, scp, and have no range weapons whatsoever ?

So if I get spoted moving anywhere in the game at a distance greater than 20/40 m I'm dead, doesn't sound op at all!

1. Not just scouts, also logis, sentinels, commandos, and all size basic frames.
2. You're misrepresenting the amount of options. Non-assaults would be able to use mass driver, laser rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, plasma cannon, swarm launcher.

Anyway, I disagree with the OP on this, its way too harsh. The source of the scout problem is the inadequacies of the medium frames, scouts and other suits having access to the 4 main assault rifles is not the problem. The problem is that scouts can tank nearly as much HP as the medium frames, while still being faster, stealthier, better at scanning, having a 2nd equipment, and cloakingdredats bonus.

I think scouts should be able to bricktank if they want to, but the HP gap between scouts and medium frames should remain significantsxeeesr. Right now the HP gap isn't, and an Amarr scout actually has more module slots than an Amarr assault at STD-ADV for example and allows the scout to out-tank the assault, while still being faster, stealthier, better at scanning, have a 2nd equipment etc. The issue is less pronounced with the other assaults, but the gap is too small.

The problem is the medium frame slots, and slot progression. Like every other frame size, mediums should gain only 1 module slot from one tier to the next, and the upper limit should be 8 (like most current logis). So it should be 6 module slots STD, 7 ADV, 8 PRO. I say let scouts tank if they want to, as long as they don't start usurping the role of assaults.

If they increased the fitting requirements of the weapons then they would need to increase the fitting bonus on the assault suits as they are now they can now fit a full proto set up with good fitting skills.

here is my 2 cents;

how about adding the benefits of complex shield and armor modules without the penalties to the assault suits over the scout suits.

+66 shield hit points better recharge rate and a shorter delay in shield recharge time and +135 armor hit points and then give the Assaults 1 more module slot then their scout counter parts (the same amount on all of them 7).

and to one of the above posters the SCR does not need another nerf the rail rifle is still op and is in need of the reduction you suggested for the SCR, now for the weapon specialization they should of done the opposite in my opinion.
