you know, Just a side-arm, 3-4 equip slots, low hp, EXTRA-LOW profile, and VERY limited H-L slots
PURPOSE- STEALTH DROPLINX DEPLOYMENT, REMOTE EXPLOSIVE, SCANNER ... I hope u see where im going with this... Chromosome had a dual slot scout, which made this possible... but now the scout... is a sniper/SG-NINJA (and very rarely the later anymore) |

+1 kind of like the Commando - hyperspecialized. I like it.
I'm sure that something like this is already in the works...probably in the planning stage though. |

Even if they just brought back the two-equipment scout it would be awesome. Maybe for your idea I'd say let them keep the light weapon slot but no sidearm, sort of like a logi has? Idk but it's a cool idea I like it. +1 |

With the current limited number of sidearms available, I think sidearm only would be too restrictive.
If you make it a light weapon slot, there's obviously the concern that people will try to use it as a speedy logissault but with the lack of ehp and hi/lo slots (I'm thinking simillar to commando suit slots) I don't think it would happen.
Love the idea in general though. |

ive went 9 kills with remotes in 1 match, hacked 500pts worth of things with my assault suit... wont mention the gek kill count, but I feel a side-arm only restriction would be ok with the "3rd" equipment slot... anything else would be a "farmer"... see what im saying? |

I like it. I run a Logi/Scout fitting with RE/Scanner/Uplinks. Works great, generally avoids combat, earns decent WP. |

EMPHASISE ON SIDE ARM ONLY... snipers don't need 3 equip slots! |

I could definitely get behind this! It would be a challenging playstyle, rewarding stealth, tactics, intelligence.... it would be a LOT of fun, and of course, quite dangerous. Having a sidearm only would really provide an incentive for non-combat play.
To avoid the situation with people forgoing use of the EQ slots, in order to free up CPU/PG for proto mods and weapons, I think it would be critical to limit the amount of high/low slots as you suggested.
Maybe something like (for Gallente Light):
0H/1L/2E at STD
1H/1L/2E at ADV
1H/2L/3E at PRO
Make the base health on the order of 60 shields, 80 armor. Sidearm only, as mentioned. Maybe 40db for base scan precision and profile, w/ 20m base scan range. Keep the current 'scout' bonus for +5% reduction to scan profile per level....

this is why they need LOW profile... operate under all radars... but yes... they should be dead for being FOUND period. |

Gallente scout bonuses and slot layout actually facilitates this quite well. WTF yo. It *IS* hyper-specialized at RECON which is what SCOUTS do. Scout. Scout. SCOUT it out!!!
Also, equipment deployment is not a recon function; it is a "forward support" function which the Min Logi excels at. |

if u read the whole post, u would have noticed I mentioned that the second EQ slot on the scout type II in chromosome was ideal... |
