CCP seems to not want to buff them so my suggestion, since I view their worth as less then other suits, is to lower the cost and sp requirements. Seems fair to me.
I run scout i'll tell you:
Scout suits are UNDERPOWERED. You can do everything you do with scouts but better with assaults or even some logis.
Unless you want to go Full Nova knifes , just stay assault or Logi bro.
Want to use shotguns?
Dude a Proto Minmatar Logi can do that easy at the cost of 1 sidearm, you'll get equipment slots, more total HP and more PG/CPU plus at poto level a defeault 5HP-s armor repair ....(Example, 2 complex kinetic catalizers, 1 complx profile dampener, 1 biotics green flask for stamina, 4 complex shields)
Wanna go SNiper? just wait 4 days for the commando suit: 650 HP at lv5 passive shield and armor bonus and you can run a Sniper rifle and an ASSAULT rifle for IN battle sniping.
At proto level, a single profile dampener can drop an assault or Logi suit down to 37,where a specialized SCOUT suit at level 4 has 37.5.... (So you are .5 sneakier XD)
Except for nova knifes, i dont feel Scouts are needed. |

The problem is movement speed got nerfed and this affects strafe speed along with the other bugs that are known to exist. They can be used to beast, but its not the easiest endeavor. They aren't any better than chromosome. They were never super useful in chromosome and people complained they were UP then as well. Honestly with the radar nerf for other classes, they have some potential once the bugs are fixed.
THEY ARE WORST than in chromosome. Proto Scouts had 6 slots total between 3 high and 3 slow. The speed was peak compared to the other suits and i use to run with 2 equipment slots.
Now they are nerfed to cr*p CPU/PG output, 1 equipment slot and 5 dropsuit module slots While all assaults and Logis got buffed to infinity.
So unless you are thinking on going super low Profile dampening sniper or Nova knives, there is not real reason to play scout. |

Lone hacking no, Minmatar Logi is the best for lone hacking. Enough slots to GREATLY increase speed and Profile Dampening, a default lvl 5 +25 Hacking speed and of course more HP.
BTW , What do YOU play? Because Minmatar is NOT underpowered if you use Nova knives. THATS IT. |
