Assuming there won't be a partial (or full) respec given along with the release of the remaining racial scout suits, I think it'd be fitting for CCP to give us a general idea of what the Amarr and Caldari suits will focus on, so we have time to save accordingly for both suits or only one, or specialize in other areas to complement the new roles, etc. Precise stats aren't necessary; only the intended function of each suit. It's easy to speculate that the Caldari scout will give some bonus to sniper rifles (given their ships in EVE also being snipers), but I have no idea what to expect from the Amarr design; slower with a bit more armor and fewer slots would be fatal for a scout, so it must be something else...

I realize asking directly like this probably won't elicit a response, but I think the dedicated scouts of the Dark Side (Caldari, Amarr) have earned the gift of a little foreknowledge with their extreme patience. Having to wear the Gallente suit all these months is debasing to my spirit; not to mention how it incites the weak hearts of men to wanton lubricity upon seeing its overtly gynoid rotundity. Ugh!

PS: I should note that even if a respec is coming, it'd be nice to know about the new scout roles anyway.

Dude Caldari Amarr are the good guys.

Yet again:

Wanting respecs for racial suits is fine, but wanting a respec because they're changing everything about vehicles is unreasonable.

Members of these forums live double standards.

I think most infantry would be happy for vehicle users to get their points in Caldari and Gallente vehicles returned when the other variants drop, the same as heavies and scouts should get their points in suits back when the missing ones turn up. I've certainly said that in more than one thread.

Dude Caldari Amarr are the good guys.

My guess is that they will be the more open combat scouts.

Amarr will have the 2nd highest shields and the highest ehp.

Caldari will have the highest shields and I have no idea how they will balance it. If it's got 3 or 4 highs it will able to get 300 shields that recharge in under 5 seconds without mods. Can't wait to try and kill it :)

Where did I say respecs should be exclusive to suits? This is completely off topic, but since you brought it up...

Logic dictates that since CCP forced players to choose from an artificially limited racial selection of suits/tanks/whatever for months (will probably be a year when it's all sorted out) after release, the onus is on CCP to give that freedom of choice back, when the time comes, in the form of refunded SP.

I also don't have a problem with partial respecs given during major rebalancing, since, again, the changes are coming without the players' consent. Therefore, the usual anti-respec argument of "you made your choice, live with it" doesn't apply.

You can't let your SP build during that time so you can go straight PRO? We're missing two racial HAVs, as well as some turrets, and you don't see half the amount of tankers complaining about that compared to infantry.

Nah, all the EVE races are evil because mankind is inherently evil. Caldari/Amarr are more ostensibly evil by current anti-religious, pro-freedom standards. That said, I respect the Caldari/Amarr more because they're disciplined; the Gallente are too self-indulgent for my tastes, and the Matar were useless victims for too long. Not to mention what a laughable concept it is for any tribal society to become spacefarers in the first place.

Also, Amarr artistic design is to die for. And kill for.

To my knowledge there has NEVER been a developer that has commented on a Scout related thread. Not once, not ever. Pretty lame if you ask me.

The new roll of the Scout Suit is a State-of-the-art Combat oriented paper weight with increased scanning faculties over other suits. Start saving your SP guys, I can say it's completely worth it, probably, most likely....from the snapchat I got it looked cool I guess.

I predicted the most probable slot layout and speed of the remaing scout racial variants. I also asked for an extra slot because the ones that would be released would suck pretty bad.

Regardless I do hope they tell us soon. I wanted to go amarr scout but unfortunately I am stuck wearing the fake "freedom" the damn Gallente believe in.
