1: Sniping can be done better by a medium suit

2: Winmatar Assaults can do nova knifing far easier

3: Scanning can be done better by logi's (Gallente Scouts really get hurt by this, as that's their EWAR)

4: speed can be matched or passed by a medium suit, as it's a very small difference (and they got more slots and CPU/PG, so they could fit better weapons at the same time).

5: Read #4 about the stamina

Now, What was that?

My Minmatar scout is often out sprinted by caldari assaults, minmatar assaults, and just about any logi with kin cats. Problem 1.

In order to beat a proto scanner my minmatar scout has to give up it's one available low slot that isn't reserved for a cpu extender due to the complete lack of CPU the suit has. This in turn makes me about as slow as my minmatar assault. Problem 2 which leads to problem 1.

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

So... whats wrong with a scout besides all the problems you listed? None because you listed all the problems. They're slow, weak, have crap slot layouts, and you can't fit anything on them. Besides that they're totally fine....?

Increase the range of the passive scanner and it's scan resolution on all scout/light suits.

Meh. If you have prototype, you can surpass all my the scanning. And I snipe better because It says "SCAN ATTEMPT PREVENTED." You can know if someone is coming if you see that, and people tend to appear on your radar a lot more than medium suits.

Scouts need:
-This game to run at 60 FPS so they can have their Uprising 1.0 speed back
-The shotgun and nova knives to have better hit detection
-A second equipment slot with more CPU/PG
-Cloaking
-More non combat roles on the battlefield like tackling, sabotage, and additional EWAR

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.

Edit: Passive scanning needs to be useful for scouts as well.

Base of 20 for Lights, 15 for Mediums, 10 for Heavy Frames. Please CCP?

Meh.

Meh.

. . . The only thing it could use is an extra equipment slot, and more CPU.

Kinda answered your own question there buddy.

I'm a level V Gallente Scout. 15 meters is hilariously small; it isn't even to the smallest circle on the radar thingy.

Meh. That can't possibly be the only thing it needs to be OP again. It needs to run as fast as a tank/slow LAV, be undetectable by anything unless you're looking directly at him, and a 10 meter scan radius

The reason scouts need a buff is because assault/logi do all the scout roles just as good if not better.

Minmatar logi makes a good scout, but both the logi and assault play like scout hybrids with their low EHP in exchange for speed. Pretty much working as intended. Scouts have very minimal gains for the EHP they give up. This has nothing to do with logisitcs suits.

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.

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
