Is it technically possible to modify the hitbox? Imagine that the shields form a bubble, and a near miss is still deflected/absorbed.
I would want parity with armor in terms of HP, but the tradeoff would be different. Sure you can strafe dance, but your shield extenders stack up to a heavy-sized hitbox. If you fit armor plates you are not noticeably wider, but you can't move as fast.

Caldari Scout is the main problem. Even though the Minmatar Scout is faster, it has less HP. Fast/tanky/hitbox-lag trifecta...I would be willing to bet it is actually a bug with the Caldari Scout that makes it nearly unhitable.
I'm all in favor of a strafe nerf, but any nerf to shields and you're going to see a shift to armor and anti-armor weapons. Extenders will be traded for damage mods, and everyone will spam explosive and projectile damage types.
If shields make me slow, then I want a logibro with a remote shield restoration tool. Full parity with armor tanking ->or it is a massive Caldari nerf.

No. The drawback cannot be a bigger hitbox
That conclusion is hardly the final word. There are always workarounds. For example, you could map one of the existing models over the scout. A scout with a transparent heavy alligned/centered on his head. Quick and dirty. If a programmer tells you something is impossible you just haven't incentivized him properly.
