As a Skyburner's user, I agree with you. (Although at least Jade Rabbit has the perk of being consistent.)
Jade Rabbit is an oddly forgiving scout rifle, but honestly? It's held back by being in the most inconsistent Archetype of Scout Rifle, that gets screwed over if other players are rocking JUST enough Resilience, forcing it to take 4 shots to kill rather than 3.
And Skyburner's has a similar problem, since its ADS boasts a similar fire rate. EXCEPT, Skyburner's isn't even consistent at hitting. Sometimes it does damage, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it registers instantly, sometimes it takes 10 seconds for any damage to register. Also the Hipfire Tracking is garbo.
Honestly, there are so many Exotic Scouts left in unfavorable positions; Skyburner's, Jade Rabbit, Polaris Lance, etc.
I just wish that they'd give those Exotics just as much love as the others.
Don't even get me started on the Catalysts either. Like how the Catalyst for Skyburner's gives it Range, despite the fact that it has no damage fall off. Or Jade Rabbit's catalyst not boosting its handling.
Even just reworking the masterworks to better suit the guns, is all I really want.

They really need to retool unused exotic weapons & armor BAD

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's what they're doing for Season 17. Who knows? Maybe they'll give them some interesting perks, like making Skyburner's fire faster in midair. There's so many exotics that need those kinds of changes though. At least changing the Catalyst effects for Jade Rabbit and the such though, would be beneficial.
