- Bolt Pistol didn't need a nerf. It'll probably suck now.

- Commandos are still worthless unless you really need that second light weapon for AV or suppression (niche role)

I don't like the bolt pistol nerf, but we'll see how it plays out. I don't think it'll keep me from using the weapon as my backup on my AV sentinels any time soon. And to my understanding the AA ratings are all pretty much the same (I'd have to ask rattati to verify this) so go figure. I'm pretty sure that was verified by someone in the past. doesn't affect me as much because I obsessively ADS the Bolt pistol and only hip fire at point blank. But just because I don't like it doesn't mean I won't give it a chance.
Passive reps on Gallente may be on the table some time. I doubt for amarr though. Amarr have always been the armor buffer race, focusing on raw HP over reps. The ONLY place where amarr have an advantage on reps is in EVE online where their logi cruisers rep more per cycle than the gallente, but the downside is you have to have a capacitor transfer pointed at you feeding you power in order to not rapidly crash your ship's systems. so it's definitely not a great comparable example.
I find commandos largely underrated and underutilized by cohesive squads.
I find it hard to call scouts UP in pubs when I personally (with witnesses) was able to murder ten people in a Scout C-1 with two cardiac regs, no damps, no shield mods (Lex Damage mods were used instead) before anyone was able to catch me. I have caldari scouts skilled to 2, and I was using a quafe shotgun. Oh, uncloaked. I suck ass with scouts compared to some of our more prominent posters, they make me look like a flailing, angry child threatening everyone with a nerf gun when it comes to scoutmurder. The only one I see as problematic at this point is the A-1, which feels lackluster unless fitted like an assault to exploit it's higher movement speeds.
Yes I'm putting skills into scouts. Shocking, no?
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

*Depending on the map mood, lighting, area, and positioning of myself and a cloaked scout, I can in fact see the shimmer. It's quite entertaining when a cloaked scout is running straight at me, while under cloak, and I'm actively shooting (and hitting!) him, and he doesn't bother to uncloak until he's in shotgun range.
Some people don't realize that when you're in a 1v1 and you're cloaked and being shot, you should probably whip out your gun ASAP to try and win.
This is probably due to the long amount of time it takes to decloak and pull out a weapon. Along with the fact that sprinting cancels the weapon change, leaving you decloaked, but still without a weapon, and requiring another long weapon change time before you can arm yourself. This is decloak time is something I'd like to see reduced.
I'm noticing a lot of the most disruptive scout killing sprees only involve a cloak long enough to get into the general area where the killing is going to happen. Speed and shotguns do the rest.

The only reason for the nerf was because it was possible to attack before the cloak invis effect wore off or the passive scanner could update and potentially register the threat.
I really don't like the way the cloak attack delay works, but the reason for the nerf was valid.
I tested the cloak invisittack with kane. I was able to put two shotgun blasts out before the cloak dropped.
I'm all for losing the crazy swap delay. But there needs to be a viable balance alternative to go with it. Back to what we had before isn't an improvement.
