I encourage EVERYONE that wants to play a fast scout suit to get those. It took me months (because I took some breaks because the shotguns were broken until 1.4).

Such an SP sink to get KinCats to 5, but with 2 Complex ones in your low slots, this is a different game! I enjoy my paperthin fast-"sneaking" backstabbing killmobile .... I die a lot (that's me, not the suit) but it's so much more fun now than without those KinCats :D

A shame that I can't fit 2 AND a scanner on a medium scout suit.

"Medium scout suit"?

I have the "Dren" Scout suit and most efficient I can make with it is 2x Kin cats, BPO: Shotty and SMG. It's super cheap and get close in gaps quickly, running cover to cover, in a few cases I was able to get within shotty distance of heavies and ar that shooting at me, and get the kill.

There is no such thing as a medium scout suit.

Scout suits are light. Regardless, that speed will hardly help now that hit detection has been vastly improved with weapons and thus you are still relatively easy to gun down.

Wouldn't you use other blueprints (of you have them?) I think CCP clarified that only the BPOs that need a certain skill give the bonus of the skill. So if you have the .. what's it called ... not the raven ... that other Scout BPO ... then you also get your scoutbonus.

I changed the typo ... when I typed "medium" my brain meant "the middle one" -> Advanced (standard -> advanced -> Proto, since I save all my fittings with the number of the skill that I need ,so

G Scout3 SG3 KinCats5 Is an advanced shotgunscout with an advanced shotgun and complex kincats .... sorry

You should try stacking 4 of them on a Gallente Scout. According to the Dust 514 Fitting Tool, you'll move 11+ M/S :D

Speed tanking is fun, but it doesn't work. Hasn't since 1.2.

Cmp KinCats aren't worth the SP for a Scout. My two cents as a would-be speed tanker.

I want comp kins too! Being fast is a rush, getting a knife kill while sprinting is a rush. Like you say, it's a different game only scouts can play

The MAG tribute suits are:
Valor (scout)
Raven (assault)
Sever (logistics)

I have four of them on a logi.

Fun times.

My two cents as a former and would-be speed tanker.

Remember, a high end AR can kill you in 1/3 of a second, regardless of how fast you sprint.

There's bad information in this thread, newbro Scouts. Beware.

I have two suit goals that are hard to fit on an advanced gallente frame:


Scout with scanner, hacking devices and 2 kincats: Avoid enemy contact altogether (with the scanner) and ninja-hack everything.

... and I just forget the 2nd one ;D

Even in my "free" BPO fittings, I really need that 1 Complex Catalizers ... anything else feels like a snail :/ Well they aren't THAT expensive.

True you can't speed tank while trying to gun people down but for other applications it works wonders.

Adapt or die those assault bastards say, the hell do they need to adapt to, the recent fotm getting balenced?

Proto KinCats make the Heavy suit more fun too. All hail the Sports Turtle!

Perhaps "tanking" was poorly chosen. To clarify, stacking KinCats on a Scout ...

Works When:
On recon or uplink duty (Logi better)
Rushing a first letter (LAV/DS better)

Fails When:
In combat or under fire
Trying to evade enemy fire SOMETIMES WORKS
Trying to escape if/when detected (running away) OFTEN WORKS

Oh they are tributes to that older game? I never played MAG. So those suitnames are derived from that game? Nice.

I didn't play it either, but I gather that they were the names of the 3 major clans.
