Does anybody have any idea what it's racial bonus could be?
I've sat here looking a modules and there are only 2 real scout modules available for high slots. Precision enhancers and damage modifiers. So given that you are trying to make a "scout fit", there would be no point in Shield Regens, because scouts have hyper regen anyways. The only viable fitting would be shield tank or damage mods. They'll have terrible scan abilities and no ability to speed tank, I can only see the Caldari Scout as a faster lesser Caldari Assault. |

It should get a racial bonus to precision, and ECM/ECCM should be based on the precision stat
That's what I was thinking, but then I realized, that that skill would basically make the Caldari scout only good at fighting other scouts. Also, what do you mean "and ECM/ECCM should be based on precision stat"? |

ECM stands for Electrical Counter Measures, its essentially a very aggressive form of EWAR, which the Caldari were best in (Caldari Recon ships were the best EWAR ships in EVE, followed by Amarr), which can include things like turning off tacnet/mics, placing decoy signals, ect. ECCM is Electircal Counter Counter Measures, which essentially just resists ECM effects.
No-no-no-no-no, I know what ECM/ECCM means. I mean what do you mean base it off of precision? That would be strange, that a scan precision has anything to do with anything outside of scanning. Do you mean profile? |

But but but but that makes no sense since it would be able to run as fast as a Gallente but it would have 2 EQ?
Also bonuses shouldn't be directly one weapon oriented. So no shotgun, RE, sniper bonuses. Hybrid weapon/Laser Weapon/Projectile weapon boosts are different. |

Caldari are one of the slowest races in EVE, so I would image the caldari scout would be slower than the Gal Scout even if both of them had 2 equipment slots.
take a look at stats. Caldari Medium runs the same speed as Gallente Medium. |

The gal has the ability to out speed tank a cal scout or so I hope. And the minja has the nova knife bonus so was just throwing out ideas. Just wanted some thing for the cal or even the amarr for a completely different play style to scouting atm
The amarr would be acceptable.
The caldari shouldn't because:
A) It, as it stands, would be on Speed par with Gallente
B) Can shield tank, thus tank without speed penalty
C) equal module count (but opposite) of Gallente
The amarr would be perfect because by reason, they will be slower and have less modules. That way there would be a reason to spec into the amarr. |

noob cavman wrote:Can totally get behind amarr having two equipment slots. Much better idea than cal considering if it mirrors the gal. I had a dumb fart. Still trying to work out a good bonus for the cal or im gonna lose sleep 
It would seem precision is the only way to go but even then, |

arent the nova knives gallente? i may be wrong, but assuming im right, the minmatar scout gets +nova knife dmg, so who is to say that+ SG dmg is "as low of a suggestion as one can go" as of now the caldari dont even have their form of an assault rifle, so what other weapon could they get bonus dmg to? the minmatar scout isnt bad and is often used for its bonus NK dmg, so what makes bonus SG dmg so bad?
You are very misinformed dear
Nova Knives = Caldari
Minmatar Scout gets + Melee damage, Nova Knives are sidearm! |

ill admit i may be wrong about the race, but minmatar scout DEFINITELY gets bonus NK and melee dmg per level.
Pretty sure they don't
Nova Knives have a devastating melee attack but I do not think it applies to charge shots. So NK damage is only relevant to the Minni if you use it's melee function.
People use Min's and Nova's because of the min's speed |
