@tyrius The point of runing scouts is to be quick and low profile not to cloak.
I figured someone would agree to scouts taking less damage from falls.
This is a GREAT idea! At the very least, the scout needs some bonus to cloaking/stealth, or I agree that the scout suit is pointless to run. An assault has more CPU/PG, so it can have a cloaking module and have a lot of other toys, not to mention starting with way more hit points. |

The description of the scout suit says something about cloaking fibers or something so it makes sense to make the scout suit have a cloaker |

Who reads the discription  regardless any buff to the scout should come in the form of increased margin between speed and agility of suit as well as low profile. Its a recon suit built for scouting not ninjas. |

now the current argument for scous is for them t be speed demons i disagree they could be a little faster but not much more any buff should come in forms of recon abilitys and should come in small margins up 5 or 10% |

And when answering assume for a moment what a player might wish to deploy in a scout suit, without an equipped sniper rifle, and still be effective/viable both in contributing to their squad and in earning WP/SP/ISK.
To reiterate my question from above, because unless I've missed it this question hasn't been directly answered.

There have been comments from ccp about scouts running around a heavy faster then it can turn, and the merc pack was said to be a close quarter package, scout/smg/shotgun.
A fast dodgy cqc, deep recon/hacking, scouting for squad, sniping(some scout suits will probably have bonus for sniper rifle), and ewar( listed a specialty of scout, but no modules yet) should all be doable. I see scout as the frigate of dust, eve had covert ops(cloaking), electronic attack(ewar), interceptors(fast cqc), assault ships(sniper and cqc), stealth bombers(cloak with proximity mines/swarm ambushing vehicles)
I would guess cloaks will come in different types, some with huge drawbacks anybody can use, some only usable by certain suits. The black ops hav and force recon dropship are getting cloaks, so I assume there will be at least one variant of assault and logi with cloak bonus. I expect scout variants will cloak best, hard to guess how with so little info on cloaking. Could be all scouts get the good cloak but only certain assault/logi do, or scouts can run it longer before decloaking. |

Scout set to drop uplink would earn points from that, a scout fitted for speed hacking would earn points from that, if a scout went recon he could grab assist.
As for the KDR ive found high damage weapons are great for scouts mass drivers shotguns and Tac work great for them if AR are ever given sigificant kick to stop the constant spray of accuarct bullets and force AR to do controlled burst for medium and long range then scouts wouldnt be so weak at a distance the problem there is AR can unleash continious fire amd never let up proper kick work force contorlled burst thus extending their surviability at range and letting Tac and burst AR work well for the scout.
But war points would be earned from uplinks, hacking and assist as for KDR scouts should focus on avioding fights unless they find a hurt straggler or unobservate person. Also scout can use instalations to great effect for more kills.
I went one match as a scout woth 1524 WP 5/4 on one match running this stuff |

wp just show that you have done your job properly but this does not indicate how well the suit actually performs compared to others. I often get over 1000 WP with bad KDR as logi in the losing team by settings drop uplinks, nanohives and by reviving allies, this just means I have done my job.
the scout should get a marginal hp buff and strafe speed should be rebalanced accross all suits. the speed advantage the scout suit has is marginal compared to what the scout loses in HP and fitting capability. |
