They've been nerfing scouts since Replication.

I have a strong feeling that CCP will be doing suit balancing in 1.4 so until the 20th of this month I think you should hold tight and cross your fingers.

I don't think the light suits are on the radar in the next few patches...

pretty damn much heavys are not untouched either

Everything you say is true.

I'm getting tired of being a scout. I'm getting bitter. It's just not fun. Every ounce of creativity and tactics I can muster can only get me a reasonably good game (10+ kills, less than 2/3 deaths) once every few days. Every other time it's just a suck-fest of bleeding ISK and being completely dead weight to my team.... in most games my use fullness stops after the first 3-4 minutes when I've made my hacks and dropped my uplinks.

I would never use this suit in any game that mattered, it would be a huge disservice to my team. Kudos to those guys that can stomp with it consistently.... for me it's rare.

I almost have the proto Gallente suit. Great, so now with no extra HP, I can scan a bit farther and loose even more ISK when I die just as often.

So we're getting a stealth buff? No longer on the radar?

A lot of the scout's issues come from the constant speed nerf. When overall movement speed got nerfed, scouts got hit the hardest out off all the frame sizes. They really need an all around 10% speed increase, higher base stamina and more movement options like a larger jump height or even a double jump. For example, you know that little building next to A on the line harvest map? A scout should be able to jump high enough to land on top of that.

EDIT: Just another random idea that popped in my head: Maybe scouts should be able to jump the full height of any completely vertical structure or have more movement options to get into hard to reach areas like maybe wall crawling, wall jumps, and the the ability to jump from extreme heights without taking fall damage.

Actually, from what folks who did their homework told me, the sprint only expands the collision box, not the hit box.

What's the difference, you ask?

The hit box is what's used to register hits whenever a bullet or AoE weapons touches it. However, the collision box is completely separate from the hit box and it's what causes you to bump into things. The collision box is the problem because if you sprint you will not be able to fit into tight spaces that you would otherwise fit through if you just walked. The folks from A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. researched this problem.

EDIT:

The hit box is actually so tight against the avatar model that you now have to actually aim at the part of the avatar model (such as a limb or the head and torso) in order to do some damage.

I just don't know what to do at this point in their efforts to make the larger assault community happy they are shafting the scout,vehicles, and heavy frames making them easier to kill to have them become less of a threat and in turn making said assault players more powerful in the field.

It's smart on their part to attempt to keep the largest part of the community but in the manner they're doing it is pushing the other parts of the community into mistrusting CCP and breeding hate towards the assault community by the other classes
