LOL you're already doing it wrong. What the heck is a scout doing in a gunfight? That isn't its role on the battlefield. That's why scouts have low HP because they are...scouts. Scouts are deployed with the minimal for their own effectiveness.

A good scout lurks in the shadows and never go head on in confrontation. If you want that, you should be playing as an Assault player.

My Minnie Med runs .6m/s slower than my Scout.

With twice as much HP.

He can also use a Shotgun.

Get out.

How do you expect a Scout to Scout with 10m Scan Radius?

The same as every other dropsuit.

Dont say an Active Scanner, because Meds can also use that.

Meds can use a lot of things it doesn't mean other suits can't. If you don't like active scanners use modules that improve that.

And sacrifice my two Biotics in my lows?

Nope.

The most worthless role in DUST right now.

You may say that title belong to Dropships, but dropships have uses that no other class can match, like getting to high grounds.

What have Scouts got? Besides a fancy name.

We may strafe faster, but its minimal, and its useless in gunfights.

We may be able to speed tank, but, we trade a lot of HP to do so, whereas med frames can almost match our sprint, with twice, to three times our eHP.

We cant even Scout our Scan radius is the same as every other suit in the game.

Every thing we can do, it can be matched by almost every single other class in the game.

Making Scouts, the most useless role in DUST, hands down.

Dropships are in a bad position, but at least they've got some idea of where they're heading.

I know you've acknowledged that Scouts need some love, but we need to know what you plan on doing, and when you plan on doing it.

You can always convince a logy to use an active scanner with their position compromise try sneaking up on the reds. Scan dampers would really help against red active scanners.

Scouts do in fact need help, and as one I have good days with ratios of 1.5-3 and bad days of .8-1.2 ratios, its essentially a very unstable class and is entirely dependent on the fact that the enemy is not used to dealing with scouts but medium frames. Once this unfamiliarity wares off then we would be in more trouble.

I propose the following small changes

1)Scan Precision changed from 45 to 40
2)Scan Profile changed from 45 to 40
3)Scan Radius changed from 10 to 20
4)Speed Gap changed from .4+ to .7+
5)+1 Equipment Slot
6)Reduced Fall Damage
7)Improved Stamina Mechanics (since speed has an unofficial cap)
8) CPU/PG increase due to low slot count, might as well be more efficient with those slots


We also need functions that work to help us with entering/exiting hostile encounters, having an active scout module of cloaking would do just that. Also EWAR should be a scout only domain, which would make us negative logis would would be a unique role just for us.

My personal thoughts at any rate, I have more on what I think each should suit should do as well.

and i dont kno bout useless ... hardmode yes useless hell no

i think the op needs to go read some scouting how to's on these forums

and also read up on scan presicion vs scan radius


and i dont kno bout useless ... hardmode yes useless hell no



i went 33/11 with 2150 wp earlier and you call that useless
and all with std mini light frame and sg/ kn

bah useless
op go back to D-UNI

We are useless in the way that another role can do what we do, but better.

Calamity Jane and Anne Oakley proved how useless Scouts were, and still are.
