Our main priority in Alpha and Bravo was to fix broken gameplay so the next two can be about fixing some key pain points on particular playstyles. Yep. I'm pretty sure people just want to be able to dual tank their min scouts after a PG buff.
Ever try to Nova Knife?
Ever try to Nova Knife wearing plates?
Take a look at the MinScouts bonuses, stats and slot layouts. Next, take a look at PG req's of things like Codebreakers, KinCats, Nova Knives, Cloaks, Shield Extenders and REs. These are the things Minmatar Scouts use.
Stacking Plates is far less resource intensive than stacking KinCats. Think of Musturd, Moody, Ghost Kaisar, Radar. These are exemplary MinScouts, and not a single one of them dual tanks.

what? you mean like how scouts are supposed to be stealth units, but theyre faster, have better regen, twice as much equipment, and field the same firepower as assaults? while able to be cloaked, and see enemy positions? (including the direction theyre facing)
what playstyle is assault then? cannon fodder?
no stealth unit should be as combat effective as what we have today.
I agree that Assault Frames need love.
I agree that CalScouts and GalScouts are too good at pretending to be Assault Frames.
But this has zero to do with MinScouts and their PG problems.

Your doing so would be a tremendous help to Minmatar Scouts.

Bonus to scout-centric "Light Armor" (ferroscale and reactive plates).
There will always be demand for a brick-tanked Scout; I'd advise letting Amarr Scouts meet this demand.
Meaningful, useful, competitive, eve-appropriate.
The only drawback is that "light assault" units are salt-in-wound to actual assault units.
Provided the latter get hugs, the former would sting far less.
