make armor modules raise the scan profile of a suit this will affect almost noone besides the gal scouts heavys usually dont care about being scanned lol they will just unload on the guy trying to capitallize on the scan from his buddy

Nerfing the suits skill is counter productive... I've seen others mention that armour modules can be changed to a % based value, instead of a fixed 148.5hp per complex plate, and calculated the result based off of that assumption. If done correctly, this allows a decent amount of hp between light, medium, and heavy suits, without changing the current hp values of the medium and heavy suits. My results were that Gallente assaults and logis retain an approximate 950 armour, Gallente Sentinels retain 1200-1300 armour, and Gallente Scouts have about 550 armour. The previous values are all using the maximum values when using a proto suit.

Yes, scouts depend on being stealthy, this means that if they are electronically invisible they should be visually visible and if they are visually invisible they should be electronically visible, and they would need to gain their stealthiness from skill. They should not have the ability for stealth, both electronically and visually, merely as a result of modules. Take this away and the scouts are much closer to each other and much closer to the other suits.

this is notabout armor values it is about armor modules adding to your scan profile making you easier to scan

The title states otherwise, and it states fixing the Gallente Scout tanking issue, which is solved when you simply change the armour value, making it less versatile compared to other suits, and changing it from a buffed up assault/logi. The % value, for example of about 80% per complex plate from the suit's base health, which is 130 armour for the Gallente Scout, is 104 armour per complex plate. A Prototype Gallente Scout has 4 low slots, and can have a maximum of 416 armour in plating with this system. That with the base suit armour (130) and the Amour skill bonus that offers +25% armour of the base suit armour (32.5), equates to a maximum of 578.5 armour HP, which is significantly lower than the Gallente Assault and Logi suits, who retain their health of around 950-980 armour with this system.

if you would read more than the title you would know that the thread is NOT about armor modules hp values but about changing them to add to your scan profile making bricked scouts scannable even while invsible. people who stack plates on scouts are a joke and comletely ignorant to ewar anyway therefore not a problem to begin with

Taking away the dampening doesn't fix the problem. It will only force Minmatar scouts to go Gallente so they can dampen their profile enough.

It is the tanking that is the problem that needs fixing, not the dampening of the cloak.

why nerf plates when fitted to scout frames thats still a nerf

honestly the change you are suggesting is entirly too complicated for such a small issue, we dont need all these numbers and math to fix what some people precive as a problem, i have no issue with bricked tanked scouts because they are not a threat to me in any way. i do have an issue with cloaks being changed due to igorant qq by a few people who cant deal with everything 1.8 brought to the table. changing armor values is not a smart decision if its just being done because one scout suit is used more often, changing the cloak damping bonus gimps all other suits except the gallente, the one that a few people precive as a probem its not goin to fix anything

Are you actually serious? Since when are plates giving away signatures? Would it not make more sense that shield extenders increase your signature because of the higher amount of power emitted?
