This can give the Scout a new lease on life without simply 'making them faster' as they would attain more mobile ways to get around. Possibly bordering on Parkour. (Though honestly, that would be extreme.)

Oh, yes! I would love parkour scout! That would be amazing! CCP, make scouts parkour!

If you think I'm joking, I'm not. I would love scouts to be able to climb faster, climb up short walls if they have a running start, vault over walls, make super leaps of awesomeness, grab onto ladders mid-jump, skid off of walls to avoid fall damage, jump off of buildings and land on enemies to avoid fall damage while incapacitating and damaging the enemy, sliding through tight places and into cover, being a troll in general and other shenanigans. That alone would make me adore the scout dropsuit without it being overpowered in combat. Honestly, I think the scout dropsuit should be able to parkour. I mean, why not? That would be epic. Even more epic if they could air assassinate enemies while holding nova knives.

In all fairness, there isn't a reason to give a genetically and cybernetic enhanced super Scout all the things you've said above. However, doing so would create an extremely agile, difficult to predict opponent for anything to shoot. To compensate, you'd have to give the Assault, Logistics, and Heavy Suits something to compensate heavily.

Not saying it wouldn't be possible, but it may be something to look at in the far future of DUST.

Scouts are already much less durable, and besides, the mobility won't make them much better in direct combat.
