Then fit a dampener. Problem fixed.

Oh, one less armor plate for you? Too bad.

No offense intended. The point I'm making is that being both invisible to scanners and hard to see should take two modules. One equipment and one low slot. We're basically just increasing the fitting requirements for full stealth mode. As it stands it's just too easy to have a 4 module tank and let your second equipment slot do all the stealth-work. This will be reduced to a 3 module tank, a dampener and a cloak.

If you think cloaking worthless after the change you may also fit a dampener and ignore the cloak. Valid playstyle. I used to play like that until 1.8 was released.
One could argue that there should maybe be an active equipment item that let's you be profile dampened temporarily. But that should be something for the midterm future.

The EWAR system needs a rework to have a healthy dynamic - (snip)
This way you're incentivised to fit both damps and precision enhancers and even if you can be picked up at some point both will always have a use.

In pubs the minscout is usable. But then, so is everything - I use a plasma cannon and ion pistol combo in pubs, sometimes. That doesn't mean they're balanced. I'd very much like to see as many dropsuits and fits as possible being viable on a competitive tier, and the Minscout simply won't be under these conditions.
