I just threw together a cheap scout and I had so much fun, running around hackin stuff, sneakin up behind people with the shotti, I'm gonna start and ALT that will be my scout character, I would like suggestions as to were to put my 500,000 SP in the beginning
I love the shotti, I love remote explosive, I love hacking stuff, and the nova knives look cool but I don't wanna spread my SP to thin so I'm asking for advice |

Disclaimer: I'm a scout but not a shotty scout
The MLT shotgun should be fine for now and the scout suit bonus doesn't really do much for you until lvl 5.
Not sure how much SP will be needed, but I recommend unlocking std plates (I find STD plate + STD reactive to be a good combo), unlocking STD nanohives, and getting lvl 1 gal/min light suit. If the MLT light suit has enough CPU/PG to fit the shotgun, armor, and nano, you can hold off on the suit to save some SP initially.
That should be a good starting point. |

I would put the entire 500k SP into Core Skills if it is an alt character. Meaning you are going to not play them regularly and let them collect passive SP for a while. For a dedicated Scout I found it is hard to keep things together until you get to at least 4 million SP. Shotgun Scout is one of the most SP intensive character builds possible. |

STD plates do mean armor plates? and what is STD reactive? |

Yes, I mean the standard armor plates. Reactive armor plates are a variant of armor plating that provides less armor but also gives some armor repair. |

Out of curiosity the ferroscale is what I use. Can you explain the pros and cons to these two pieces of armor, the speed decrease and armor increase vs the smaller armor increase with null speed drop? Im trying to improve my standard kits for my scp scout |

The speed decrease given by Standard tier armor plates is noticeable but minor (especially with the decreased viability of speed tanking).
The armor plates give more health which is always a good thing.
The reactive plates give a tiny amount of armor regen so it isn't very useful mid-fight but the armor regen + extra armor goes a long way to surviving multiple fights.
I don't use plates past the standard tier so I can't comment about whether or not ferroscale plates become a better option at higher tiers but at the standard level, I feel the speed decrease is minor enough that I would rather have the extra armor or armor regen. |

It could be argued that the most important thing you can do, is get scout suit 3 as quick as possible, followed by dampening 3.
Then you're invisible to 90% of radar and scanners out there, and you can use your low slots for something other than dampeners most of the time.
Everything works better, when the enemy doesnt even know you're there :)
