Having roles bleed into each-other removes the diversity that DUST 514 is supposed to be flourished with. We don't need to have Light Frames filling the roles of Medium Frames, and vice versa.
If you want to Assault, you should be forced to spec into Assaults. If you want to provide Logistics, you should be forced to invest into Logistics.

Scouts Dropsuits already have enough slots, and slightly lower base speed wouldn't do anything to them (especially with a Slot Increase). Not only that, but if this Logistics Lite will keep it's eWAR capabilities, then it would be broken as you could stack more Precision Enhancers to perma-scan everything.
My above assertion would imply here as well. If you want to play a support role, then you should invest into Logistics.
Omega Black Zero wrote:Assault Scout would have Assault-like abilities while giving the cloak bonus (and maybe pass the scanner bonuses over to this class and give Gallente something a little more useful) over to the eWar Logi Scout to compensate for their lack of dampening.
This would serve to completely remove the need for Assaults in competitive (or even non-competitive) matches.

I read this top to bottom and this doesn't do anything to reduce the "current powerhouse that is the Scout". but actually makes it even stronger.
