I have to agree with Shaman here.
I believe the passive bonuses are not a fix to any epidemic and while they may persuade ewar focus on scouts, it will also make tanked scouts more viable. We need module efficacy bonus but charlie is a blatant buff to scouts but delta will probably result in a CPU/PG nerf on scouts; justified, but for the whole of charlie scouts will only be competitive against each other.
That is where scouts have spiraled. Scouts are now all designed to be competitive against one another but is leaving all other suits in the dirt. Charlie hotfix will make ecosystem overall healthier with medium frame buff and heavy changes. I aspire for a competitive scout system, but scouts will be, if anything, easier to use than ever.
WHERE IS MY HARDMODE!

I don't believe cal scouts will be balanced.
What's balanced about 4 complex shield extenders and remaining undetectable. Cal scout will be a menace to everything. Avoiding scans and stacking that much mobile HP will perpetuate strafe complaints. At least if you wanted/could, a Caldari scout as of right now can be scanned by another caldari scout even if double dampened. Rattati acknowledged that at the core to be successful at scouting you need damps. So they gave Caldari a helping hand their so it could become undetectable. But Caldari scouts, while they can achieve second best scans, will forfeit scans in place of shields. It's the path of least resistance thus it will flood the battles.
Caldari scout will never be balanced as long as there aren't enough scout/utility mods to fit in highs. The only high slots with draw are precision and shields. It creates a very black & white choice of ability to come out of the Caldari scout and so we will get these very clear cut roles out of the caldari scouts.
To fix the caldari scout, we really need create scout/utility draw high slot modules
