A brainstorming session on scouts made me come up with this idea. Suppose scouts lost an equipment slot and had a basic level cloak built into the suit. Then instead of the bonuses they have, give it a bonus to using that cloak.
For instance, Caldari get 5% cloak uptime per level. Gallente get 5% dampening while cloaked per level. Minmatar get 5% recharge rate per level. Amarr get 5% shimmer reduction per level.
Just generally brainstorming to get some ideas rolling.
Mercs whine about the rail rifle but refuse to shield tank to counter it.
But that's none of my business.

To give you some history, something along these lines was first brought up when they mentioned the cloak and the extra equipment.
A lot of scouts hated the idea of cloak bonuses outside of fittings, simply because they didn't want scouts to feel forced to use the cloak.
This was also the rationale for not wanting the cloaks to be automatically on the suit.
There may have been other reasons as well.
I only say this to lend context to the discussion. Whether circumstances have changed enough to merit re looking at this, is up for debate.
This way, you at least get an idea of some of why the current state came about.

Yep, you make too much sense. This is why you will never be hired by CCP. Take our good ideas elsewhere. Bugger off. Trying to fix this game are ya? Why am I talking like a pirate?

I'm not really pushing it as a fix, but someone needs to spitball some new ideas to get the ball rolling. All ive seen for awhile is the same ideas retold in different words.

Brainstorming sessions are good.
You never know what can come out of one.

That would remove the blanket bonus for scouts, while replacing it with another racial bonus.
At first, I would've liked having an inbuilt cloak, but now, I'm not so sure. I can't think of any pros or cons on it, either. |

I see you're going for brainstorming, but... yea... Not every scout uses or even enjoys the cloak at this point, I'd personally rather see it removed from the game than ever risking the lose of my Nova Knife or hack speed bonuses.
Cloak needs to be hit hard, Ewar needs to be balanced out with a buff to medium suits' abilities, and... well, I doubt CCP would ever do this, but removing the Ewar bonuses entirely from scout suits and replacing them with scout type weapon bonuses would likely put them back into line.
Nova Knives are best sidearm.
