First off: This thread is a scout's view of the suit. If you're not a scout, we already know what you have to say
"It sucks, ugh".

Okay, now for actual scout players.
The black eagle scout is slightly interesting.
Initial summary: It claims to be based on a G/1 suit (ADV!) not G-1.
Interesting. And i can see how it lives up to that, with certain limitations.
Imagine you take a minmatar ADV suit: M/1 scout. It has 2 high and 2 low slots
Imagine fitting 1 ADV shield extender, and 2xferroscale plates.
Now make those slots invisible, and subtract the power usage from those, away from the visisble available suit power and cpu.
That's the base of the suit. Which means you get ONE high slot, and thats it for slots.
Then throw in BPOs of
militia shield extender, militia shotgun, militia AR, militia grenade
By itself, it's "usable" for low-power players. But if you have SP invested, it can become even better.
You have a little extra power free, so you can slap in an ADV shield extender to replace the militia BPO one in the slot, and be done.
Or, you can put in a basic one, to give yourself more head room to play in the other slots.
If you have level 5 in all related cpu/power upgrades, you MIGHT be able to fit a complex shield extender, if you put in a non-militia shotgun as well.
I had a small amount of time to play with it this morning. I did best running it as a shotgun scout, ignoring the AR.
(Not that I'm such a great scout -- I'm just sayin)
In summary, I think that if you're a scout, who has not been spoiled by running around in proto suits, then the Black Eagle is actually a useful suit.
It fits in somewhere between a basic suit, and a proto.
It has the range amp of trhe gallente, but the SPEED boost of the minmatar. Nice.
If you're new to scout stuff, and are kinda interested by the suit: I suggest you NOT use it just yet, even though it has
"no prerequisites"
Rather, I suggest that you spend some time in supercheap shotgun scout suits (or AR, if you must), just to get use to it.
If you have 0 scout suit points, maybe just use militia scout suits for a while.
(At least 10 games!)
THEN use the Black Eagle suits.
I think you'll then appreciate the boost that it gives to you.
