Assault is better at this kind of build than scout by a good margin since the assault hotfix. The only balance issue for scouts currently is unscannable unseeable scouts running around one shotting people, but most people dont seem to care about that.
Sorry, Crimson that your thread turned into a hot-lead shootout in the middle of town---but itGÇÖs a good shootout.
I too dislike the annoyance of being popped in the middle of nowhere by a player bopping around under concealment, with a shotgun, whoGÇÖs wearing a Scout Dropsuit that heGÇÖs maligned for run-n-gun purposes (in a game that was always trying NOT to be a run-n-gun lovers fps).
(Personally, I even HATE when we say theyGÇÖre GÇ£running ScoutGÇ¥... these players seldom visit the objectives that true scout-players try to control, and hardly ever help guard or counter assets during the matches. Wearing a Scout Dropsuit doesnGÇÖt qualify you to have a respectable word like GÇ£scoutGÇ¥ used anywhere on them. They arenGÇÖt GÇ£scoutGÇ¥-ANYTHING. TheyGÇÖre just the spanky-alfalfa dudes who used to populate CoD,... and GÇ£scoutGÇ¥-shotty or GÇ£scoutGÇ¥-knifey is about the only skill or talent they are able to achieve in an objective-biased game like this.)
 But I canGÇÖt let my personal prejudice against that kind of player cause me blame some kind of imbalance in our Suits. Dust (via EVE) is about players using their real-world cunning to gimp monies, ambush unfairly, and malign and subvert resources and assets somewhat beyond what was intended. I have to do my best to protect my team from such players, but not ask the devs to do alot to GÇ£fixGÇ¥ what isnGÇÖt really busted.
Operating someoneGÇÖs damned fine suit in a corruptible and contemptible way (even in ways that would make others want to spit on them for doing it  ), is the New Eden machine (and Dust pimp-able equipment) operating as reasonably intended.
One day, OFF the game and OFF these forums, we ought to organize a GÇ£48-hour PurgeGÇ¥.
In it, we and the red mercs agree NOT to shoot one another in the matches. The blue mercs simply go hunting only the red GÇ£scoutGÇ¥-shotty/knifersGÇöwhile the righteous red players help point them out to us so we can kill them even when theyGÇÖre cloaked. And vice-versa, we point out where OUR blue GÇ£scoutGÇ¥-shotty/knifers are to the reds, so the reds can hunt down them.
Every match, Every match type, for 48 hours. Some of those CoD run-gunners would have the stones to try to fight back in the matches,..but most players would be terrified to visit the game if they know theyGÇÖll be intentionally victimized when they spawn on the map.
CCP wouldnGÇÖt stand in our way or stop us,... it would be New Eden operating as reasonably intended.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
