Being the long range scanning Scout is probably not the role I always envisioned for the Amarr Scout, but considering the restrictions on the development of Dust I guess this is one avenue we could go, e.g. for hotfix beta.
there is no point in having scan precision if you can only pick up targets 25m away, often you will find your self in a mess. |

The recent 'Hotfix: Alpha' notes show that you're seriously considering the roles of the scouts; well, here're my two cents (courtesy of Jebus McKing).
Remove the Scan radius bonus from Gallente AND Caldari scouts. Give it to the Amarr Scout.
Amarr scout won't have the capabilities to be a 'wall hack' like the current Caldari Scout, with its immense scan precision, but it will be able to pick up most medium frames.
This makes it excellent for its stated role of 'light assault'; its scan radius would make it excellent for spotting incursions of assault suits or heavy/logi combos.
The Amarr suits, being incredibly slow are extremely vulnerable to being outflanked by any and all other frames; the Amarr Scour having a scan radius bonus (But no precision bonus) would make it excellent for predicting large scale assaults.
Amarr isn't about scan and range and dampen, it's suppose to be the tankiest of all scouts and have the ability to rip apart suits with a ScP therefore I propose 7% Rof ScP per level and 1+ ScP clip size per level in amarr scout. |

Also, what are you going to replace the bonus you take away from gallante and caldari scout with? |
