If they want scouts scouting, they need to make a lot of changes.
I would turn cloaks into an escape tool. Invisibility while standing becomes standard for all movement. You would be hard to see even while moving . Damp bonus included. De-Cloak animation would last for 5 seconds. This prevents scouts from abusing its invisibility to insta kill targets (Harder to do though, see slot changes)
Slot layout becomes no grenade, two sidearm slots.
Share passive scans with the team, and LOS scans with the squad.
WP for passive scan kills. LOS scan will be left alone, as they would mainly be used to let the squad know where people are moving.
How I would run my Scout MK.0 with this build.
2x Complex Shield, 1x Complex Precision
Nova Knives
Six Kin SMG
Cloak
PRO Quantum Scanner (To track squads at range, makes up for my terrible passive scans)
Complex Damp
Complex Speed
Complex Hack
Most of my time would be spent using my passive dampening to wander behind enemy lines, assassinating lone targets and hacking points. My scans would reveal if people came to hunt me, I would cloak and use my speed to retreat. Scanner would be used to light up targets I see moving out of my area, so that my squad would know where they are once they leave my range.
Just my take on this. If you want people to scout, they need both the equipment and incentive to do it. Shared passive scans with the team, along with WP for doing so, would encourage scouts to hang around hot spots and scan for the team. LOS isn't shared, because it isn't put into the tacnet system. I see LOS scanning as talking to your squad, and informing them of what you see. Only hard data gets sent to the team.
So that assaults won't be left in the Dust WP wise, I would also say that they need to get extra WP every time they get a kill within a certain radius of an objective. Only Heavies and Assaults get this. They would then be encourage to attack letters, and rewarded for doing so. WP's need for Orbitals would also be increased.
Sorry for the long post. Was on a roll.
I got my cloak and daggers, I'm a very happy Ghost
