Time to kill on Scouts is absurd, even with Basic weapons.

- 3 MD Rounds (Any Meta) (Even worse for the ridiculous, Assault MDs, 3-4 Rounds, but with a 8.8m(?) Blast Radius, I dont think MDs are OP, but that particular MD, yes)

- 1 Nade (Any Meta)

- SMGs, and HMGs can take you down in falf a second in CQC.

- ARs can take you down pretty much everywhere, unless you're up in a hill sniping.

- ASCR burn through my Minnie Scout, ridiculously quick.

If Scouts dont get buffed in the next update, or the one after that, I'll delete DUST for good (And yes, I might raffle off my ISK and stuff, if its possible by then)

A simple 'Hi' would be nice devs, to make it look like you're not just ingoring Scouts, its been a while since I've seen a Scout thread get a tag, would be nice to get one for once.

What role are Scouts supposed to play right now?

A distraction?

/End Rant.

I scout with Aero for fun. We sneak into the back field and play havoc with hacking turrets, CRU, and Objectives, then bugger off screaming "NOT OUR WAR, NOT OUR WAR".

That's how I imagine scouts should be used, but I am not a dedicated one yet, not until the Amarr scout is released.

Ahh amarr scouts can't wait always want to cross train into scouts but I feel it would be a waste because I really want Amarr scout.

The fact that my advanced Gallente scout can only run about .6 meters per second faster than my advanced Gallente medium build defeats the first part of your statement. As for the second part...just because we can't go toe-to-toe with a medium/heavy suit doesn't mean we should be OHK'd quite so easily.

Of course I should be able to jump more before losing stamina. After all, I am a Light Suit, but the TTK is ridiculous for an already broken class. Which is why CCP should hotfix a Speed / Stamina / Scan Radius buff.

Otherwise you suffered 6 months of scouting without any reward and now you are stopping right before a change. 1.7 to make mistakes 1.8 to correct them is the way I see it.

I know they're playtesting Scouts, I'd just like to know how they're getting on, and what they plan on improving, I'd probably be happy to stay, especially if they gave us a concrete date as to when to expect these changes. At least then I could tell myself when I die "I only have to put up with this **** for another x amount of months" We're just being left in the dark, and I'd be surprised if the Scout update is even in 1.7, or even 1.8. I'd just like some information.
