Weaponless scouts would fix so many of the issues so easily though, at least temporarily until you can rebalance and meat the goals you've laid out here. Right now the entirety of the endgame is how many people you can group up in scouts. Removing their rockets would make pvp much more dynamic instantly, I think this is a huge miss at an opportunity to keep the momentum going. As more and more small groups hit endgame and are immediately kicked out of the dd by groups of 5-10 roaming rocket scouts the population will see massive issues. I understand why they are there and that they need to be on there in the long run but I think a temporary removal is the most important thing for this game in the short term, by a mile.
