Scouts do too much, restrict them to 2 sidearm slots.

If there is ANY class of suit out there that would likely ever have a sidearm-only configuration, that would likely be the Pilot suits which we don't have.
But you've only said you wouldn't support it because it would **** people off. What do you think of it from a balancing standpoint? IMO, restricting Scouts to 2 sidearm slots would be the perfect way to stop them being slayers and balance them without breaking them.

Snipers don't even have a role anyway atm. I think that if you want to use a light weapon, you should have to use at least a medium frame.

Forget about snipers for a sec. If Scouts were restricted to 2 sidearm slots, how do you think it would affect Scouts' balance, Maken? Do you think they'd still be slayers? Do you think Scout suits would still make up 50% of all suits bought? What about PC, do you think we'd actually get matches where it isn't aprox 90% Scout spam. Scouts shouldn't have the ability to slay as well as assaults or heavys, and limiting them to 2 sidearm slots would be the best way to stop them without breaking them.
I don't like the idea of making bonuses affect modules, because that would limit the free-form nature of making fittings, which I thought was supposed to be a big part of Dust's 'class system'. You wanna put kincats on your Sentinel? Sure, go ahead! Damage mods on a Logi? If that's what you want! Armour on a Scout? Be my guest.
I use kincats on my Min Scouts, but you're saying that I should be penalised for it because I'm not playing within my suit's 'predefined' roles.
