Your idea is bad and you should feel bad
The problem isnt just the suits speed but a mix of different factors such as brick tanking being so easy to pull off and cloaks being a broken concept so to get balance first we need to either heavily tweak or just remove cloaks, tweak armor plates since they give so much health with such a low drawback, and yes tweak the speed a bit while at the same time better designing the maps
The map bit is the important part since a scouts mobility should be its greatest draw but just running around like speedy gonzales is lazy design when you consider installations could have a veritable maze of duct work and narrow passages only a scout could fit through

Assault scout detected!!!! Attention

Talking about me? Ive been mainly a medium suit player since day one since I like the versatility that its supposed to have and only really used light suits in the past as a sort of extra challenge to my usual play style
Think of it like training with weighted gear, when the extra weight comes off you are that much better

Slots to be used for future equipment modules that have yet to be added. Light/Scout - Intel via passive scans,speed which breaks hit detection. -or- Fast,unhitable due to game breaking speed,deadly force. Do you see why scouts are more preferred? Their one weakness can be overcome by a built in effect,their speed. Heavies on the other hand must use an external source to overcome theirs. Assault/Basic can't compete with the jump-in jump-out one hit kill potential Light/Scouts can do. Logistics could stand a better chance with a sidearm,but it would render Assault class worthless. A very simple solution? Remove a Light/Scouts light weapon,this will make Assault/Basic mediums the go-to suit for....well...Assaulting. Light/ Scouts comprise too many positives and thus render the Assault class worthless. If this were implemented their would be tears of blood on the forums,not because they desire balance,but because their all seeing OHK Cal scouts couldn't assault and conquer points anymore,and a single scout couldn't mow down a whole squad by themselves. It would force this new breed of scout to use teamwork to survive,instead of needing a team to kill them. All except the Amarr scout should lose it's light weapon,that would be in-line with the standard already set by the Amarr logistics. In short,giving the Assault a defined role of attacking must cost other suits their weapons e.g. logistics sidearm.

But i'm sure a covert OPS frigate can't kill a marauder in 2-4 hits can it? I don't play EVE so this is a serious question.

Hmmmm SCOUT, SCOUT sorry i can't think of it right now. There is a suit mean for your ASSAULTing purposes....what was that ASSAULTing class called again? Oh yeah! ASSAULT! I actually remembered that one! John 15:13-Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
