Scouting is no longer what it used to be. Not that it's necessarily any better or worse, it's just a completely different play style than it was every build beforehand.
It seems that my good old-fashioned "spawn controlling" scout is no longer practical, compared to amarr logis and the like.
I suggest changing the amarr scout bonus to something uplink related, along with a small buff to movement speed, to re-encourage hidden, well-placed scout uplinks rather than logi-borne uplink spam.
In the mean-time, I'll be ******* around with commandos and whatever uses I can find from scouts (cal scout swarms are pretty good). And still waiting on fighters.

My scout role is still the same... speed CQC combat scout.
Hacking to a lesser extent, but I'll be getting the Minmatar for that. Soon. |

Why? the amarr scouts only current bonus is that it gets to fit cloaking devices. The stamina 'bonus' doesn't actually do anything and needs to be replaced with something else.

Well if their bonus is to make them more covert I'm down. If it's anything to do with spawn time or count then no.
Would be cool to have Amarr logi be the rush zerg uplinks, but easily located. Amarr scouts could have covert uplinks but not completely undetectable.
Granted I too completely hate uplink spam. |

The stamina bonus does help but the Cardio reg.s on a Caldari suit makes the Caldari faster and has same stamina.

An uplink bonus of some sort would be practical for scouting. It'd have to be different than the logi's though.
If uplinks had dampening levels a lowering of an uplink's DB level making it something you'd have to find visually would be very useful. Annoying but actually practical.

Max potential is never a good argument IMO- it's about base stats.
To me, having high base stamina means that I don't have to bother fitting a cardiac regulator. It doesn't really matter which one has more stamina if it takes the entirety of one's lowslots.

You would be correct if the bonus did anything aside from bring the Amarr scout up to par with the test of the scouts; even at lv5 Amarr Scout, you'll never outrun the other scouts. Not ever. Even over multiple minute marathon runs (which there is no reason for anyway).
As it is, it's a worthless bonus and should be incorporated into the Amarr's base stats and Amarr needs a different bonus.
