And please consider how it is now, not how it was when it was released.
Other question: if it was thought as a scout tool, why does it affect so negatively EW?
As things stand, it would be bad because the cloak is pretty much the only reason to use a scout suit. Without a cloak an assault fitted with profile dampeners is nearly always going to be a superior choice to a scout, with the exception of a few extreme fits of limited use. |

I have only one scout fit with cloak, it's too slow to pass from it to a weapon and it also makes that loud sound, everyone with a headset can ear it.
Fair enough, I never said that cloaks were any good. Just that you can nearly always make a superior assault suit version of a scout, apart from the cloak.
Using a cloak is pretty much the only thing a scout can do that an assault can't (except for extreme cases). |

That's fair enough, but my point is you could do this better in an assault fitted with kincats and precision mods. |

>immunity to the one thing specifically designed to hunt scouts down
Only focussed scanners are designed to scan scouts. People don't combat scouts with scanners, plus there's no need.
>better equipment fitting bonus than logis if cloak fitting was cheap
Fitting bonus to one piece of equipment somehow better than a bonus to all equipment? Four equipment slots? Bonus to equipment use?
>re-rise of assault scouts
