Here's the part where I post unintelligible "feedback" on how to balance Tanks and offer useless "tips" and "advice" to actual Tankers.

I cannot grasp why this exact scenario is so frequently observed when it comes to Scouts. |

Some of the most funny things I've ever read in these forums come from tank haters.
Not sure about Scouts, the discussions about Scouts are not that hilarious because they are just dropsuits and anything can insta-kill them. You don't even need to take your free BPO Militia Swarm Launcher, just look at them and they will die...
I hope everybody agree that Scouts are broken. I'd say the same for tanks but it seems like too many people are still trying to destroy them with their AR |

This is when Lillica, who has done everything in the game spare HMG, posts the true meaning of Friendship. Boogedy. Sometimes everypony needs a little guidance. But as we see in the video, you can't always rely on the same pony. Sometimes a different friend knows better, and its their duty to make sure they act. With this said, tankers unite, scouts unite, everypony that isn't AR should instakill everything unite, and lets all try to be intelligent. For friendship. |

You do realize that you typed in 0.001 Nanoseconds right?
Which is quite the exaggeration. Why not just say "tanks get stomped in PC in 1 second."

Just how many nanoseconds does it take for CCP to calculate the ratio of forge guns to tanks and vaporize all tanks if the ratio is greater than one anyway?

Yup, 10 picoseconds to be exact. Assuming the swarms/forges even let it think about hitting the ground. |

(Because they're staple units. They're what mostly everything else should deflect off on, this doesn't mean they're incapable of being balanced though when the environment calls for it.) |

Thanks. I understand why you guys are focusing on them, but the leftover 25% of Dust (Scouts, Heavies, Derpships, Tanks) are getting kinda miffed that Med Frames are getting all the love.
Here's to 1.6. May it save us all. |

Vehicles are being given the same treatment as equipment, and that itGÇÖs good, the thing is they just need more and better options, separated and mixed but not just a pure general buff, like equipment.
Scouts are rocker mofos in the right hands.. look at Icedslayer or Roger General, I encounter both quite a lot and they always get x'>20 kills / x<5 deaths, they always specialize and tank their fits.

I appreciate that a lot. I've still a lot to learn, honestly - including limiting my occasional outbursts. I shifted those from targeting CCP to other players and, suffice to say, once I learn to not target other players (and just let **** go) then I may be ready for the CPM but currently I don't feel I've the patience or control for it.
Though, we still have a good six months until fan fest - when the elections usually occur. So I think I'll be okay by then =D |

I shifted those from targeting CCP to other players and, suffice to say, once I learn to not target other players (and just let **** go) then I may be ready for the CPM but currently I don't feel I've the patience or control for it. Though, we still have a good six months until fan fest - when the elections usually occur. So I think I'll be okay by then =D Im very curious as to what a non scout hipster would view as making scouts balanced.

I've been advocating for Active Scanners to be more specialized in their general roles. Despite a hefty 25 second cooldown, the prototype flux scanner seems a bit too powerful to me in that it still retains a strong 28db Scan Precision - which if you do the math the only thing that can get past that is a Gallente Scout with complex profile dampeners or a Logistics with profile dampeners. Minmatar Scout just doesn't have the low slots for it, so it will always be on scan.
If you look at base values, an Advanced Scanner can pick up Scouts who don't have all skills to level 5, so it's powerful enough in it's own right. Honestly, I feel that the best way to bring back the Scout's ability to "stealth" is to make Scanners balanced in terms of: Higher Range = Lower Precision and vice versa, but this is just a hint of the problem as you have to consider that the effective scan area is -massive- with the prototype flux having an effective scan area of 31,000+ meters.
Considering that the Angle of the scan means absolutely nothing since you can just spin in a circle, scan duration also needs to be looked at otherwise the scan angle is pointless.
That's just -one- of the many problems with the ailing scout. Gallente scouts also suffer from now useless bonuses as having increased scan range only helps him now that team-view TacNet has been removed. Even still, if you just look in the general direction of someone they will still pop up on your personal TacNet. Don't even have to look directly at them either, if they're <75m they'll automatically appear if they're within your field of view.
Cloaking might help but there's still the issue of a broken precision/profile system and if cloaking is available to everyone than Logistics would still be the better choice simply because of higher base survivability and fitting resources.
I'm not even going to touch on Speed Tanking considering that a base scout would need to be able to dive out of and into cover at a distance of 3.40 meters to not get instantly killed by an Assault Rifle with a half-decent shot. It's physically impossible to out-strafe someone at any range so speed tanking isn't reliable at all.
This, all coming from someone who plays Prototype Gallente Assault =D |
