The thing is.... Scouts don't have a role.
The players using other suits of course may have to rely on another players to achieve an optimal survivability, isk, an sp gain.
Scout suits do not have any special functions to be exploited by squads and squads do not have anything they can exploit from scout suits. Scout suits do, in some way have the ability to actually scout for enemies or anything else (through the double equipment slot, which makes them on par with non minmatar logistics suits when an advanced suit is used) yet cloak has very high requirements. Because of this what the average scout suit user may have wanted to use (such as scanners) would have been dropped for the cloak. Scout suits do not have any other bonus but their pg/cpu reduction on cloak, which is still high. The main issue is how they can get their hands on light weapons as some of these are too exploitative when used to surprise attack other players. A scout really, would have minimal combat capability as they are suppost to collect information on enemy position's strength and weaknesses. Basically these "scouts" are just light assault suits with cloak... Some people have suggested to give them only sidearms, although players can still become problematic with high tier sidearms. This light assault cloaker suit really needs a facelift on its functions.

The scout role is that of stealth and intel(not passive intel, but intel). I didn't I'd have to explain that, but this thread has devolved greatly since the beginning and frankly it's making me sick.
