In fact, if I were you, I'd be more worried about the LogiBros than the scouts.

Do you mean worried about them because they are too weak or because they are too strong?

If you read the link you will see that the data pertains to following categories:

Endurance in terms of Stamina amount and recovery speed of stamina.
Stealth in terms dB.
Sprint speed in m/s.
Scan precision.

I would say worry because the Logis are stronger in most of these categories. They are practically the stealthiest suits, possess the best situational awareness, and can do record marathon runs compared to all the other suits. The Assault is better than the scout during these tests but only for scan precision and low profile.

The Logis are also the most flexible suits on the field as they are the Swiss Army Knives of Dust 514. Jack of all trades and offer the best overall hacking capabilities.

I asked for clarification on your part because you said "I'd be more worried about logibros than scouts," and in this thread, the topic is worrying about UP-ness of the scout.

I'm just going to throw out that hacking speed increases is a racial specific bonus to the Minmatar, and when you compare that to more shields(Caldari logi bonus) or Increased repair effects of armor rep mods(Amarr logi bonus) then suddenly far fewer people use Minmatar, because they prefer their own survival-ability than supporting their team-mates.

True. But please keep in mind that the stats I posted are only current until May 6. Beyond that, I have no idea what changes will occur. I'll have to run the numbers all over again after that date.

I may spec into something else, but I still want Scout's fixed. At the moment, a militia AR can kill me easily in about 5-6 seconds if I stand still, and I'm running complex shields. Why are you standing still?
