1. Is it possible for any scout class to run nova knife? I do not plan on using a secondary weapon mod, and if i don't choose min race and get racial benefit... Is it possible to be affective because min adv scout suits aren't going to support my desired drop suit Hi and Lo slot load out. (Damp, Kin CAt, Cardaic)
2. Would it be possible to run a scrambler pistol as your main weapon on a scout suit. I haven't seen a single youtube dust video on someone doing it. If i pair nova knife with something, it would be scrambler pistol but i don't want to be stuck spending massive SP into a set up and then have scrambler pistols be terrible. 2 b. I haven't seen anyone using the flaylock pistol since it was nerf'd last patch either. Is it a viable weapon or is it be completely useless.
3. At advanced scout min suit it seems impossible due to slot load out to be effective. Using Kin Cats is a must but then you would need stamina/dampeners and there's only one slot at advanced. Does this mean min advanced suits are going to suck compared to Amar and Gal whose loadouts can provide Kin Cat, with both stamina and Dampener due to racial bonuses?!?
Thanks again,
Cots
Nova knives can indeed be run on any class, though the minmatar scout is obviously the first choice due to the 25% damage bonus. Wonderful toys they are, and being able to one shot proto suits is a life saver in many situations.
Pistols... pistols... Ya know, I'm not even gonna bother with this one. I'll let Moody do the explaining.

Advanced Minmatar has two lows and two highs I believe at advanced levels, and I believe they're getting a slot buff come 1.8 as well, so they'll be doing anything but sucking. However, at advanced, I believe the gallente scouts are probably the most viable option right now as they get 3 lows and 2 highs (I think, not 100% on this one)
All in all, it depends on what you want. Frankly, I prefer the minmatar scouts as E-ware scouts simply because of the nova knives. They might not get the best bonuses for it, but because of that alpha damage (1000 from proto at lv5 scout) you've got a major advantage against a lot of players. I'd recommend making an alt to test the knives first though if you haven't spent time with them. They're excellent weapons, but not for everyone.
Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.
