Just few ideas. I think that scouts should have more E-warfare attributes. Along the lines of what you're saying here. Better detection would be nice. Although the Gallente Scout is the only suit that can actually have a nice sized scan radius, around 30 meters I believe.
After about 2 mill SP investment on top of the racial suit skills.....I wish that the devs would comment on the state of eWAR. There have been a number of threads on it that got a fair amount of attention but no devs yet. Honestly if other people don't have incentives to using the mini-map then a reduction to profile that a scout gets is worthless. Put all the suits range back up to 10 m and then there's actually a reason to use scouts.
If any dev wants to check this out, I suggest checking for usage patterns of profile dampeners. Chromosome build they were actually useful and had a sizable following. I'd be surprised if anyone uses them right now outside of the random rookie. Anyone care to confirm?
Also, the active scanner has been losing popularity as well, mainly due to the lack of two equipment slot suits (imo). Uplinks are just too important right now to sacrifice one to carry an active scanner, except in rare occasions. Scouts should have a larger "support" role and two equip slots (and some more CPU/PG to fit them) would help this along ie: bring back a type 2, or b type or k.1 suits |

Scout Suits can switch vision modes like Infrared and thermal to EASILY spot people
You know, that sounds useful, badass, and not gamebreaking. Would make them better snipers, too.
My only request is that it looks and sounds like this:

Another clone thread. CCP needs to release a new expansion pack for the forums. I've played each thread at least five times already and it's getting really boring. |

Just few ideas. How about this. The ability to hang on walls like ninjas. 
I ... am actually 100% for this. Not immediately, mind. It's difficult to implement and not high priority, but... imagine the possibilities. It should slowly drain stamina though. |

How to give the scout suit some love? I guess cutting a hole in the right spot would help. |

I can't wait to be a bad a$$, functional Scout with functional weapons. Reduce damage from falling or, or let us use the inertia dampeners at will. More platforms to jump on and unto enemies.
Here's another bad a$$ idea, a charged Nova knife throw. |

Just few ideas.
I say no to all of theses
and the reason why
1) Scouts suits should be buffed to where they cost the same as other suits, a death still counts as a death in a match
2) Any Binocular range would better be served with a diligent sniper, otherwise the battlefield will change by the time you get there without you being able to do anything.
3) We are getting webbing equipment and EWAR in the future with equipment
4) I like this one the most, but there is a better alternative
5) This is a fat no, I can't tell you how many times I was sneaking on an opponent only to have some AR trigger happy numbskull fire giving away my position, yet losing the confrontation. This would hurt us.
..............................................................
What scouts to need
**Non Controversial
1) A second equipment slot
2) More CPU/PG
3) Increased Passive Scanning (Range 40?)
4) More scout friendly equipment in general
**
5) A secondary Passive secondary vision that operates like this (effective range up to 20?)

AfroSunshineY Consequence wrote:I think it is obvious from the responses in this thread that the majority of scouts are minmitar. I come to this conclusion from personal experience (I see very few gallente scouts running around) - but also from the fact that most people are (self-interestedly) asking for buffs specifically for the Minmitar scout - as a gallente scout I should say that even with the Ferroscale armor plates we still have to balance protection with speed - unlike the MInnie scout with their superior shield tanking. In order for a proto Gallente to outrun a proto Minnie, one must have all four of one's low slots with Complex cats --even a single plate will slow us down below the speed of a minnie - with less protection. The only reason I use the gallente is because the design is boss. That being said, most of us scouts are gluttons for punishment anyway
I doubt we'll get anything to balance the suit classes
Agreed - most people seem to mini scout because shield tanking is really the only defense sensible for scouts and the mini bonus is actually useful.
The bonus for the mini seems to work just fine but I'm generally against bonuses to any weapon damage because they allow weapons to be used in a way different to how they were originally designed. Minis are already fast enough that there's no need for a speed buff bonus beyond their base stats. The gal bonus really needs looking at though because the way detection works at the moment, there's really no point in it. Hardly anyone runs a low enough scan profile to warrant better scan precision.
I run gallente scout purely because I can put hacking mods on it without losing space for armor reppers but the slot progression must be wrong - the adv suit surely is supposed to be 1 hi 3 lo.
The new plates will be useful to all scouts but especially the gal. I agree though, that scouts in general need a small cpu/pg buff all round.

Nova Knives are all ready mega power (with maxed Proficiency and Mods). No use for overkill. Fast movement could make up for their weak suits.
This post burns my eyes.....
All jokes aside the nova knives are prehaps the only weapons that scouts have that's going for them everything else can be used on the medium frames and are just as effective, with more ehp,taking these from the scouts would not be a good idea in my opinion.
Had an idea : instead of a melee increase for the racial add a movement speed increase, or sprint/endurance, the melee is pretty weak at the moment so this would be a good change yes? |

I am now moving this thread to the 'Feedback and Request' channel; where possibly will be more visible for our Devs.
Thanks.

-Second equipment slot so that the speed actually has a purpose and would increase fit options.
-More CPU PG so that the already low amount of slots can actually be fitted with something else than a module that adds to CPU.........
-More HP: The low amount of module slots is already detrimental enough health wise, why so low?
-Passive bonus to either speed or damage(sniper rifle for instance) would actually be useful and justify using that suit to snipe, not useless radar stuff that no one uses. |

Working passive radar's all I want. And a buff to the range on it for scout suits... Y'know... So there's incentive to scout, instead of just snipe. |
