It's the combination that's OP because a scout makes it easier to use them to their full potential by avoiding scans.

and the minmatar bonus is an awesome incentive to go knifey. knives are underrated in Dust and I'd like to see more stabbing slashing weapons like swords and spears.

and maybe the crybaby heavies could have big spiky balls to swing around ahem...

Why the hell would futuristic warfare have battles of swords and spears when there are a shitton of bullets and explosions going all around them?

I don't know, why do people in the 21st century use knives? Guns were invented over 1000 years ago, why do we still use these stupid, obsolete bladed weapons?

It's science fiction, man. Why don't they just use invisible nanorobots to kill soldiers? Because that would make for boring gameplay.

OMG!! that -300hp Light Frame used dirty tactics to kill me!!! they should Git Gud and go toe-toe with suits w/3x their hp The Scout imo, is meant to be and needed as an Assassin.. fast, deadly but weak in a fire-fight If CCP want anything less form it, just do us a favour and remove the suit from gameplay.. No one likes to be insta-glibbed... and always point the finger at Scouts.. Yet a Scout can be insta-glibbed by crossfire of most Dust weapons, nevermind being shot directly so it's really a case of kill or be killed on both sides of a fight with a scout .. Shotguns?? nasty enough but have to get in suicide range.. I would not argue some changes here, but the effect will be the same Blap = dead, Blap Blap = dead, and mercs will still complain Assaults and Commandos are already the counter, I sh!t my pants when facing either The issue here is, I run actual 'Scout' fits, not 600hp+ sh!t bricks tanked fits So to balance Scouts, make Ewar a viable choice and limit dual tanking = dead scouts for everyone

I use my super heated Nova Knives, to cut through your suit can carve a hole in your chest It may be a knife, which would be useless in Dust.. But why would I use Knives packing more heat than a Volcano vs advanced suit technology?? yeah, thats why
