So I've been running Advanced gallante light frame suits (because let's be serious, scouting is a non existent role, completely overshadowed by Active Scanners; a novelty at best) for a couple of days and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I have over 10 million SP into upgrades (maxed out shield, armor, CPU, PG, Biotic skills). Here is my main setup so far:
High: Complex damage Mod. Complex shield Extender.
Low: Enhanced Armor repairer. Complex Armor Plates.
Light weapon: Gek plasma rifle
Sidearm: NONE
Grenade: NONE
Equipment: Compact nanohive
CPU: 227/227
PG: 45/55
ISK: 44,865 (wtf, that's almost twice as much as my fully equipped ADV Amarr set up)
WISHLIST
Light suits should have the highest maneuverability- All light suits should be able to reload while sprinting. All lights suits should have higher movement speed while aiming down sights; reduce speed penalty while ADS. Also, get rid of the completely UNNECESSARY stamina regeneration delay. Like, seriously, the game is clunky and slow enough as it is.
CPU/PG- Please bring it up to par with all the other suits.
Speed- Obviously this needs to be increased. However, before it gets buffed, this game will need to maintain a framerate greater than 3 fps as well as improvements to hit detection. Or else we will get invincible, blue shielding, light suits again.

Then again, they're not attempting to tank on the most fragile of suits.
I run a scout every now and then and I can tell you that it's extremely difficult to pick up my suits without a scanner. I can hump people's legs before they realize I'm there. Granted, I'm not running like an assault or heavy. I keep off the front lines and pick off anyone attempting to flank my team, or I'll go flank them.
Scouts do need some sort of speed increase. I semi-agree with sprint reloads, though that is more of an Assault strong thing.
I'm not talking about role playing a scout in pub matches.
Also, most of the "scouts" (well, assaults using light frames) I know that are relevant brick tank their suits. I'm talking like over 700 armor for a proto gallente light suit. |

And you wonder why your not taken seriously, good luck getting a buff though.
I sincerely hope this isn't directed towards me.
I specifically state that: "Stealth" is useless. Never mentioned high HP and never mentioned extra equipment slots (although if a scout class ever does become viable, two equipment slots is a must) |

Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why - it's because neither speed nor stealth is worth using - it's just a shame to see us being forced into playing as speedy assaults instead of having our own role. The thing that confuses me is why don't people just run an assault with all the trimmings and a kinkat to be a bit speedier?
Well, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with playing as an assault class using a light frame (I already have a fully proto'ed med frame/assault suit).
CCP should make a different role for light frame suits. The already have "Scout", which needs to be looked at, but they can also make an "Assault" role for the light frame as well.

I cannot fit a ferroscale plate without sacrificing a lot of HP because I won't be able to fit complex ferro's. Probably can't even fit Enhanced Ferro's. I'm not trying to build a hacker/speed suit. I'm making a "light assault" suit. I'm basically trading health for a smaller hitbox (and i'm still faster than my Amarr Assault ). In essence, i'd rather dodge bullets than take them. |
