I will be speccing into Amarr Logibro.
I would really love to play the Scout role, but current scanning mechanics (both active and passive) and shotgun issues has caused me to shy away from full speccing into the role.
1.4 brings a bit of a ninja buff to the scouts by ending the shared radar among squad mates. Scouts will now be able to truly "disappear" and not show on everyone's radar once spotted by a lone person. After 1.4 hits, the only surefire way to detect a scout with a low profile signature is to hope a squad mate has SP invested in the Active Scanners.
Another deterrent from playing the scout role is the fact that I am an Amarr loyalist and well, the Amarr Scout isn't in the game yet. There is simply a mental block from me playing anything that isn't Amarr.
IMO the scout also only has one viable weapon that goes in tandem with stealthy game play, and that is the shotgun. I don't even need to go into detail about the shotguns...anyone who has played with them can see why they are a deterrent from using them solely as their main weapon unless they truly adore playing the game on "wannasmashyourps3tobitshardmode."
The only thing that may keep me from sinking my SP into Amarr Logi is if this lack of shared radar is truly a godsend to scouts as it seems or if by some miracle, the Amarr Scout is thrown into the game on the third (doubtful). |

Actual i'm really hoping the hit detection fixes buff the shotgun a lot.
Also scouts will now be the sneakiest buggers around, making their life ten times easier |

We still need a passive scan range buff.
10m is ridiculous. |

I'm an AMARR LOYALIST, even using the Gallente scout is pissing me off.

An underestimated benefit to the tacnet changes is that weapons that sort of require a little more accuracy to use (like scrambler rifle and laser rifle) will benefit from the element of surprise that they can get now. I'm guessing that you will get a little more time to line up your laser or SR to get more critical hits.
On top of this, the faster suits, will spend a lot more time panic running/ sprinting every time they get scanned. |

Sooooooo I guess your happy the AScR is getting nerfed because it is too overpowered. Seriously I can do better with it then I can do with the assault rifle. It's not like the assault scrambler rifle is mean't for assault or anything... |

Yeah, as someone else pointed out in another thread, with their base speed of 10m/s that means they can be on you in a second with you not knowing wtf is going on. It's cool though, I like to have to stay on my toes, always aware. I have to smile to myself and say "fair play" when one manages to sneak attack me. I even tip my hat to snipers from time to time. I like to be challenged, it's more rewarding when you win. |
