Suggestion: As a gallente scout, assault, heavy, and logistics player, I believe that scouts should have their innate shield regeneration switched with that of the assaults. And that possibly lengthen the recharge delay of scout suits. (Generally the regeneration of health being so quick is the main issue I find with scout suits maybe add a delay to armor repair as well)

Why? Because I believe scouts should play the role of stealth and speed, if said shield changes are made it would deter scouts from attacking enemies in quick succession.

Ex: With the current hp regeneration a scout is able to Attack---->Cloak and hide for short amount of time-------Return attack again

Look Bojo, right now is not the time for semantics, if I have to be absolutely clear, I'll correct my statement. "I believe that scouts should play the role of stealth and speed, in terms of movement."

If the health of a scout is supposed to be very low, which theoretically it should be, it wouldn't need such a high regeneration rate because it would little have hp to restore and would still take a short time to regen, though slightly longer than it does now.

I understand your scout proposal would be very applicable, however CCP does things in a certain manner, a manner which your proposal would contradict. If a penalty were to be added to tanking modules all suits would be affected by it. In other words, the form in which CCP balances this game is that of all or nothing, no "one," suit is affected by a penalty of a specific module. Cloaks for instance, high cpu/pg suits are able to use them, however it is not practical to do so because they do not get the bonus, or the dampening benefit, that scouts do, however there is nothing hindering anyone from using said cloak on anything other than scouts. This theory is also applied to logistics-assaults, and scout logistic suits.

If any change to scout suit it would dishearten scouts to tank, however it would hinder not them in anyway to attempt to tank. As assaults need a buff in order to better the suit in the role of continuous attack, or as I believe an Assault should behave, I thought would be appropriate...

Scout tanks work BECAUSE they can regenerate so quickly. In terms of E-war, I do believe that one of the medium frames should be able to counter the use of invisibility, however this is not the topic of my proposal. This addresses how to deter scout from tanking health by making it unattractive. What's more unattractive than knowing that if you tank your suit the health will take too long to come back after an engagement?

With the proposed change scout will have to choose between doing their role, or making an attempt at finding a good combination of regeneration and tank modules in order to survive a battle, and act as an assault.

As I said if a scout is doing their job they shouldn't need such a high regeneration rate in order to regain all their health...
