As a Gallente scout, I'd rather keep the 2nd high slot. It doesn't make sense that I can use 2 damage mods on a medium suit and only one on a proto.

I agree that I do find it inconsistent with the pattern. Gallente suits really aren't meant to deal maximum damage for a scout class as that is the job for the Minmatar suits in the same class. Gallente Scouts are best used for one of two things.

1. An all-seeing-eye as the extra low slots are suppose to give scouts the ability to fit the most amount of range amplifiers for their passive scanners. The built-in passive scanners of the suits, when fully trained up alongside precision enhancement skill plus the bonus from the suit, can potentially see up to 99 meters through man-made structures (but not through rocks).

2. A stealthy infiltrator as the extra low slots can also accommodate the most amount of profile dampeners for the class thus allowing the scout to evade even the most powerful active/passive scanners in the game.

If you want maximum damage, especially for sidearms and melee, the Minmatar scout is the way to go. But for light weapons, it's best to stick with the other classes.

I wish they would fix this but they said recently it's like this by design, so I can't see them doing it. I said it in the scout thread earlier, that I love having 2 slots for damage mods but with the lack of CPU I have to use a CPU mod and effectively am left with just 1 low slot. Make it 2 lo 3 hi and proto 2 hi 4 lo and it works great for all concerned. Either that or give me at least enough CPU to not need a CPU mod and lvl 5 electronics.

I would have to say i would also like it if they made the G/1 have 3 low but thinking the reason cpp did it the way they did is for one really good reason.

If the G/1 had 3 low slots then an advanced suit could be invisible to proto level scanners. only a proto suit or proto scanner would be able to be used to detect an advanced suit. that would not be balanced.

I foresee removing a module from a Suit, to be a big no-no, as it will break a lot of fits.

Why not add another high to the Proto scout?

1 proto scanner at 15
a proto logi ck.0 with 5 complex precision 13.27
g/1 series scout with 3 complex dampeners 12.81

add in cloak or adaptive camouflage and an advanced scout with 3 lows could be invisible to everything.

I think that was referring to passive scan, not active. If precision enhancers affected scanners, I'm pretty sure 5 complex precision enhancers would get a 15db scanner quite a bit lower than 13.27.

Shield, I know, blasphemy. I prefer the extra health with no speed drawback. Lets me save my low slots for the fiun stuff, as opposed to Ferroscale Plates. Or Precision Enhancer, make Gallente Scouts masters of E-War (Soon tm).

But the suits are so not built for shield extenders. I can tell because my CPU/PG goes in the hole.

I, for one, appreciate the 2nd complex shield extender I can slap on the G/1.

2/3 layout is not pushing it.

True, the Adv are limited. But I am able to fit my Proto with 100% Proto weapons and modules (with militia grenades and equipment).

A gal scout makes a suggestion thread about a new G/1 lay out and no one bats an eye...



...another gal scout comments that he appreciates the extra high slot and everybody loses their minds!!

It is your mistake to assume that by my 'appreciating' the 2nd shield extender, means I 'prefer' a 2nd high slot over a 3rd low slot. My appreciating what is currently there doesn't imply a preference for either but merely a statement offered regarding current state of the G/1. Appreciate =/= like; especially in this particular case wherein you have no choice since there is ,in fact, no third low slot.
