If a heavy didn't have heavy weapons, he'd use a light weapon. He'll tank because he is a heavy.

Scouts do need something of their own though. Not too sure what.

Our tank is a combination of speed & stealth. Stealth is starting to get there but the speed could use a buff.


As for active mods/equipment that I would like to be scout exclusive:

Cloak
Tacnet jamming
Kinetic overdrive - large increase into movement & sprint speed for a limited amount of time

... orbital strike interruption (just a delay, not a theft)...

First I want you to imagine a heavy suit without any heavy weapons available to it..... yeah its pretty bad and useless as a heavy. Now since the scout is on the opposite side of the spectrum of the heavy, CCP you need to add content that's only usable by the scout. I'm not talking about weapons I'm talking about certain equipment and modules used for electronic warfare, like cloaking or jammers. This gives scouts the edge they need the same way something like the forge gives heavies the edge it needs. What do you have after this? A suit which is now defined on the battlefield.

Also being able to have squad vision back for scouts would be a boost.

Now, Dust population, what would you like to see exclusive to scouts and what would would you like to see available to the rest of the suits?

(talking about items for use in e-warfare)

Scouts can tank more than my assault...

Why not give Scouts the ability to use any Module in any slot?
Basically, make Highs and Lows work in either spot.
Wouldn't that give you better options considering most of your mods are mainly Lows?
Lose lots of eHP but you could get all the speed/stealth/hacking you want.

That'd be cool.

Minmatar Scout with 5 Complex Kin Catz.

Steroid Mode.



It'd be OP though.

With less slots, and less starting CPU/PG and less starting HP.... this statement makes literally no sense. Please tell me you're kidding.... or I will seriously question your ability to reason.

I have a problem with scout only mods, the scout is a stripped down barebones suit, if something can fit on it, why wouldn't it fit on a larger suit?

that said, base speed mods. they passively increase your non sprint speed. good for nova knifers and normal scouts speed tank :)

The Gallente Scout got a workable scan range now to go with its suit bonus.

Maybe it is time to give the Minmatar Scout a bit more base speed?

I'd also like to see more mid-range stealth weapons, maybe a suppressor. Smoke grenades would be nice, dashing modules (to get close to an enemy or escape), weapon jamming equipment (they all use CPU, right?), decoy equipment (maybe not like the CoD stuff, but something that makes fake clones pop up on radar), flash bangs, vehicle interruption, communication jamming/communication hacking (it'd be nice to hear what your enemies are talking about), orbital strike interruption (just a delay, not a theft), and maybe some ranged hacking equipment would be cool (very limited range though).

I feel like anything that has to do with weapons should be available to everybody.

Like a scout suit with an HMG?
