Scout mk.0:
2 complex shield extenders
1 complex light dmg mod
1 complex armor plate
1 complex armor rep
Std LR
Syndicate smg
Std nanohive

So how often do you die from LR overheat?

Never. 270 shield hp, 120 after an overheat. My shield start to regen before the sieze duration is up and by the time I've reloaded, I'm back to full shields.

You never die from LR overheat? See I find that hard to believe, because that suit has what, 500 hp altogether? So if you overheat after you've taken 300 or so damage, your clone is done.

Unless you're trying to tell me that no-one ever shoots at you as you're shooting at them.

Whats your best scout fit wither its galante or minmatar?

Main ones are probably:

Scout gk.0
4 complex kinetic catalyzers (faster than minmatar scout)

1 complex shield extender

1 duvolle specialist shotgun

1 active scanner

1 locus grenade

Scout mk.0
2 complex kinetic catalyzers (slower than galante scout so you probably wasted your SP)

3 complex shield extenders

1 duvolle specialist shotgun

1 active scanner
A1
1 locus grenade

Min is slower but has 2 more shield extenders.. that does not make up for it?

Mistyped.

150 hp is just under a third of your total suit HP. That's cutting it close isn't it, especially when people are shooting back at you and you are taking hits because you are aiming down sights and can't strafe as much. Also you avoided my question, and that gives me my answer.

GK.0 can armor tank.

Seriously, you can get a GK.0 to have insane amounts of health and still sprint fast.

Only real difference is that an MK.0 can have over 250 shields and recharge FAST. Great for hit and run.

270 shield HP + 243 armor hp = 513 total hp

Armor reps per sec is 6.25
Shield reps per sec is 40.

I also have a 4 second shield recharge delay with an 8 second depleted recharge time.
If people get into my armor I just find cover and wait for shields to recharge.
Minnie suits have the highest strafe speed in game..... I can dance around most shots coming in from 80 meters (excluding snipers).
Add that in with the smallest hit box in game + fairly distant targets and you have a very good LR scout fit.

Fair enough

I'm a little jealous because my dream of running a proto Minmatar shorgun scout is so far away, yet you have access to it but instead choose to run LRs. The world is not fair.

Speed beats HP if you can use it properly.

Stacking KinCats on a Scout is far less effective than other combat strategies.
This is the unanimous conclusion of former speed tankers (as it relates to the current build).
I'm glad to hear you're going to test it out for yourself; nothing is as persuasive as firsthand experience.

Perhaps mechanics will change down the road to the benefit of speed-tanked Scouts.
If/when that occurs, I'll be right there with you stacking KinCats again.
In the mean time, best of luck on your experiment. o7

Scout mk.0 (slower than galante scout so you probably wasted your SP)

No, the Scout mk.0 is if you actually want to be fast and have a decent amount of HP.
At least that's why I would use it.

That's a pretty bad gk.0 build tbh. Hp>speed

Scout.gk0

Duvolle Specialist Shotgun
Toxin smg
Core Locus nade
K2 nano
