LIke, real scouts. Not the brick tanked, 3 shotgun rounds before decloaking(1.8), d-bag wallhack scouts.
Everyone is saying "ewar is dead! Every single player in Dust will be running brick tanked scouts now!!!11!!!derp!!!11
Why? Why is this the only possible outcome of scouts being able to shoot immediately after decloaking, or not being the only ones with shared scans, or being able to win the ewar battle with every other suit using only passive skills and bonuses (and maybe ONE module)?
Nobody is going to *gasp* actually use the scout suit to scout with? With like actual ewar modules instead of plates?
Nobody is going to switch to other suits (i.e, assault or logi with scanners) now that they have to actually fit their suit like a scout suit to take advantage of ewar?
Nobody is going to use the cloak as a defensive, rather than an offensive, tool?
(this of course excludes the gal scout which will likely still be pretty strong)
What am I missing?

Because you don't earn war points for scouting. No war points means no isk/SP at end of match. You want to make scouts actually scouts? Start paying them to scout then. 
I see no problem with that.

I'd actually say the opposite. Anyone who has started playing dust in the last 10+ months honestly should have been conditioned that HP is everything considering how most people build their fittings. Why else would you see so many sentinels with light weapons or people dual tanking Gallente or Amarr suits?

You say the "opposite" but then say exactly what I thought I WAS saying, or at least close enough to it. So either I said something incorrectly, am reading something incorrectly, or you are.
The underlined section says to me that you think people are using HP less than they should.... they don't realize that it's helpful.
