Scout has better Shield Regen, as well as identical initial DPS, meaning ACR, SCR, and Shotgun are all perfect with the suit, because you can unload a clip, then use your scoutly abilities to hide between reloads/cooldowns, thus making it the ultimate assault suit, as it has:
Better Regen
Better DPS application(You can't be caught with your pants down if you're omniscient)
Similar HP values(your 25% less HP also comes with a 25% smaller hitbox, so HP is null, even moreso your EWAR allowing you to see every Med/Heavy within 22 meters.)
IMO the only thing we need to do is switch Assault and Scout's shield regen numbers. That alone would make Caldari scouts need a shield recharger when tanking, compared to the "I have 450 shield at a 2/4 delay timer that all recharges at 50/s :D" meanwhile assaults have maybe 400 shield, and if they manage to pull off 2/4 delays, there's still the problem of profile, blindness, and the lack of 50/s on recharge.
Scouts(Caldari in particular) are just better skinny assaults. If this "nerf" still manages to not pull scoutslayers away, Then take away a weapon slot, and make a variant with the 2 possible setups: Sidearm X 2, or LW X 1. This lets Assassin Minjas have their NK/SMG, or just a CR, also lets Gal scouts have Ion Pistol/Whatever, or Shotgun.
That also, coincidentally, adds a - mark to running SG scout, as you literally only have that weapon.

See second fix, introducing G-1 and G-2 suits.
G-1 would have identical stats/fitting to G-2, but would have 2 sidearms instead of a single light.
Now you can either run twin pistols, or knife/pistol, or SMG/pistol, OR you can run a single light weapon.
To the snipers: You have super EWAR. Use it.
To the shottyscouts: Good. You deserve to have a drawback nowadays.
To the MassDriver scout: Well now you have to be just -that- insane. No more relying on your SMG as your primary, and using said MD as thine secondary.
To those who want sidearms with their lights: Assault. It's there guys.
