Over the past month, the Scout Community has been working hard to resolve what we consider to be the frame's biggest problems:
1) Under performance of MN and AM Scouts
2) Over performance of GA and CA Scouts
3) FoTM Assault Scouts outperforming Assault Frames
4) CA Scout scans exerting too much pressure on non-GA Scouts
We've covered at length many of the points raised in this thread and many, many others. Long story short, the majority of Old Scouts favor Rattati's proposed change. It isn't perfect, but we believe it to be better than many alternatives, and we believe it to be a step toward better interplay among all four Scouts (rather than just the current two).
You guys really should swing by the Barbershop and read the past 20 or 30 pages. You'll find lots of good (often differing) perspectives on these points from a variety of career-long Scouts, not a single one of whom wishes to prolong/protect the Scout's current FoTM status.

There's nothing wrong with permitting each scout frame the opportunity to dampen effectively. Dampened scouts aren't the problem.
The role of if "hunter scouts" should be to encourage dampening over brick, rather than shut out of play all but gallente. The CalScout is overly effective and needs to be fixed. Rattati's suggestion is one way to do it.
For the record, 4 cPEs will still light up FoTM brick tankers, and a Range bonus will certainly help.

@ Osborne
Ridiculous?
I presently run a max skill CalScout with 3 precision enhancers, 2 range extenders, and 2 prototype active scanners. If in squad, I seldom draw fire (until I decide that I want to ); that right thar is called Low Risk. My squad mates and I see dang near everything in advance of it posing a threat; that's called High Return.
I don't think that I'm OP; I know that I'm OP.

Afterthought
Scouts want four balanced frames. Nothing more, and nothing less. We can't get there with a 15dB precision baseline. When good Scouts can't feasibly beat scans, they have little choice other than to tank up. Assault Lite is the result, and it is not very Scoutly.
CalScouts aren't themselves the problem. Tanky Scouts are the problem. CalScouts are reinforcing the problem.
