I feel like my participation in thread will get me shat on, but here goes another post...

I'll take that bait! Say I'm a MinScout who has chosen to be "stealthy". I've committed all 3 of my 3 three low slots to complex dampeners. My scan profile is 16dB. What happens when I get within knife range of an Assault or Logi who's committed 1 high slot to precision? These units have the highest module slot count in the game; is it reasonable that their single-module investment trumps my 100% investment in stealth? I've forgone speed and tank to be stealthy; why is it that my stealth is so easily trumped at so little investment?
Because if it takes getting into knife range before you show up...I have been paying attention to something else--since I didn't know you were coming--and you are in no danger in the small gap of time it takes for you to knife me in the back. (not from me at least)

If knifers were truly "in no danger", Nova Knife kill/spawn efficiency and PC killcounts would not be disproportionately low.
Not a help to the squad-less player.
Hey I get it, I used to be on the "get in a squad" camp. But frankly that's not what CCP has here, at least for me. Too much time is eaten up in finding squads and such when I am trying to get in 2 matches between getting home and dinner, and talk to my wife at the same time. Eve:DUST514 is, for me, abnegation...because it isn't good/interesting enough(for me) to be much else.
And thus, for me scouts are a real problem. They are frequently instant losses out of nowhere, with no benefit for my team. (Because that's another problem: let's face it we aren't a team.)
