 I feel the role of the Amarr scout should be flanking. The stamina bonus already fits with this.
 
 My favourite ideas for an additional bonus are a bonus to cloak duration (especially following the recent nerf), or a scrambler pistol bonus of some kind (which would nicely mirror the minmatar knife bonus).
 
 As for assault suit balance, I am uneasy. The whole forum is banging on about increasing slot counts, removing scout weapon or equipment slots, when really assaults aren't as bad as people make out.
 
 What do people here think about normalising scout and assault shield regen and delay? Something like 30hps for min and cal suits and 20hps for gal and Amarr. I know people have mentioned this before. Gal scouts have been brought under control but slayer Cal scouts are still overshadowing assaults it seems. This seems to me to be the best way to go about balance. Not 6 slot standard assault suits and sidearm only scouts with one equipment slot!

 Well come hotfix bravo I would rather be using my scrambler rifle or laser rifle on my Amarr assault than on another suit.
 
 I am not saying that things shouldn't be changed. Currently Caldari scouts make better assaults than assault suits due to the shield regen combined with ewar and speed overshadows the assaults higher hp and weapon bonus. Hence my suggested changes.
 
 Additional changes that I feel may be needed:
 Slightly increased cpu/pg.
 Buffed (not changed) bonuses for Gallente and Caldari assaults.
 
 I think assaults currently can be outclassed by scouts. I'm just saying assaults aren't as bad as people make out and some minor changes would fix the problem.

 For the record, I'm in favor of buffing Assaults.
 It'll mean fewer Mercs running Scout as front-line slayers.

 @Varoth
 IMO no bonuses should correlate to use of cloak. Its nearly impossible to use cloak if you are not at level 5 scout suit, meaning most people that aren't already skilled into it won't likely do it.
 
 Secondly, scouts shouldn't get weapon bonuses because they shouldn't be frontlining.
 
 The scanning mechanics are what is keeping the Cal scouts as slayers, something that has been of heated debate. They can utilize the passive scans to see most of the battlefield. It has almost nothing to do with their regen/delay (shields on scouts haven't been tweaked in a long time). Sadly, a majority of the fixes that solve the issue are client side changes; meaning they won't be done.
 
 Honestly, CCP just needs to buff assaults.............THEN they can worry about nerfing scouts again. Amarr assaults have very good bonuses and it should be a cornerstone for the rest of the assault class.

 Amarr bonus:
 I don't see a problem with bonuses that affect the cloak. We already a have a bonus to cloaks. It is a key part of the suit. I have said before that it is silly that low sp scouts can't use them. A bonus to duration would make the standard cloak better, meaning that a lvl3 or 4 Amarr scout could theoretically use one instead of advanced. Suits don't get much benefit from bonuses until level 3 anyway.
 
 Cloaks are integral to our role. That's why we have two equipment slots. Just because they got nerfed doesn't mean they are now useless. No wonder logis are upset if everyone has given up on cloaks.
 
 As for the scrambler pistol bonus, minmatar scouts get a weapon bonus and scrambler pistols are hardly a main weapon (for most people). But anyway, I'm not advocating getting rid of the stamina bonus so they wouldn't need both cloak and pistol bonuses.
 
 Assaults:
 Regen is an issue to people I have spoken to. The game is evolving in that direction following the ttk increase, the recent rep buff and upcoming shield regen mod buffs.
 Ewar is powerful, but it's a scouts major role. I am hopeful the Logibro is going to push changes to scout bonuses to be module based bonuses, meaning Cal scout ewar won't be as strong if they fit for assault.
 
 I would be hesitant to buff assault regen too much as we want to encourage the use of regulators to prevent dual tanking and give a purpose to rechargers.
 
 The current assault suit bonuses are good. Maybe Gal and Cal bonuses need buffs though.
 The point I am making is that I believe some further minor scout changes (that only really affect assault fit scouts) along with minor improvements to assault regen, bonuses and possibly fitting, would be a much better way of balancing things than major scout nerfs or over the top assault buffs such as slot increases that will result in power creep.
 
 Buffing assaults is about keeping scouts and logis happy as well. (Heavies don't care about us weedy suits)

 As to the Cloak BonusGǪ
 The one we have I have found to be of less and less use on my Minja. For the Amarr a cloak bonus could work because it is a very cloak friendly suit through Fitting capacity. I think Appia pointed out that it is the easiest to fit for new scouts.

 Finally broke my log-in streak at 250ish days. Haven't been on in a week or so.
 
 But, hey - I did get to take down a heavy (dragon), and remove some protogear from the game (wand of Orcus). Thank god our mage double checked his spells... you know, because FF was on and my **** is always in the line of fire.
 
 On the SCP bonus for Amarr scouts. We've discussed a few times... it's not equivalent to a knife bonus in my view and I'm not a fan.
 
 SCPs are more versatile and it makes the amarr scout the go-to suit for pistoleers. The knife bonus is so damn situational and requires you to almost gimp yourself weapon wise that it really should be the 3rd bonus for the Min scout.
 
 On the other stuff. Man, so complex. Gotta go get the summary downstairs....
