So i'm a scout and the only buff we need is 1more meter per second sprint speed and a base scan range of 15 or 20 meters. We don't need a cpu upgrade or dampener boost.

the isk price will not change, and i agree with that, now scouts need a base speed that is by far superior to other classes, as well as a faster strafe, and of course cloaking, the role of the scout is simple, it is based on steath, we excel at assassination( which is my style), EWAR, hacking, scanning, but the real deal is that there is not a single thing designed for scouts, silenced weapons, back nova knifes assassinations (Killzone 3 style, only for scouts), PASSIVE cloaking, radar scramblers, mines, jump packs, grappling hooks, i mean scouts are hunters, we stalk you for satan sakes, people should have nightmares of us!!!, they should scream like little girls when they turn and see us at 3 meters

I miss my E3 scout now that I think about it

I've been playing around with my dragonfly scout (so basic), and it works fine for sniping, nova knifing, scanning, and using the tactical assault rifle for it. I get a lot of kills with it because of it's strafe speed and speed in general, plus I can get away with my increased stamina. So my question is, what's underpowered about it? The only thing it could use is an extra equipment slot, and more CPU.

That's why I said it needs more CPU... but I mean't like, besides that lol

10 meters? Maybe if the other suits were 5.

If they had like 200 CPU on a basic and all the rest increased, they would be perfect because you could stack complex dampeners and still have room for a few complex damage mods/sidearm mods.

You misread this one because it is also a slot allocation issue as well, mediums are 7/6, scouts are 5/4, with less cpu per slot, so we are not even more efficient with the fewer slots that we are given. Also CPU/PG and slots are everything in this game, so don't play dumb because the last bit left are passive stats which the scout is not very impressive in since they can be pretty much breached by the two slot gap.

The most noticeable thing is that upgrading the scout line has very little effect on game play, which is contrary to how medium frames play, which I am thankful for because I too am using the dragonfly because I am holding off for future content, yet I am able to keep up with other scouts.

A low slot focused medium frame operates as a very good scout with the Gal Logis becoming the new scout, especially since active scanners (scout in a pocket) are more wp friendly and have team potential, without having to sacrifice utility and hp. A low slot focused medium is also always a better sniper, better alpha damage from damage mods with enough damps to go below the 30's needed to escape all but one active scanner, even if they did this, they would still out EHP the scout and be able to take a counter snipe.

And the biggest thing of all you missed, your playing pubs, I can play starter fits and go positive in pubs, doesn't really mean starter fits are balanced. Go play matches were it gets serious, pc matches and see how well you play as a scout.

The stupid stuff you can get away with in pubs doesn't work with veterans, and in those matches one death equals one death, so with scouts fragile nature they really need to do a lot with a lot less, but as it stands their utility with that one clone count is not at all comparable to what a medium frame can do with it. While we are not asking to make us assaulting machines or more EHP, we do need a unique role like how Sentinels have heavy weapons which mediums can't touch or copy. That is all that is being asked for.

Scanning is EWAR by the way
