DUST Search - Even if i put a dampers on my scout suit....

Then you need to pick your battles carefully. I already have Minmatar Scout Suit to level 5 (25% reduction total) with Profile Dampening to Level 3 (6% reduction total). This brings my overall profile down to 31dB from 45dB. Some scanners won't pick me up. But when I do get spotted by that one proto scanner, I make a run for it and try to find another place to hide and continue my sneak attacks from there.

Often times I utilize the confusion to my advanced. When an enemy group is too distracted, they don't pay attention to what's behind them. As a result, this leaves them wide open to a rear-ward attack. Just this morning, I managed to get a 7-kill streak with just the ZN-28 nova knives because I camped an objective but maintained my distance from it to avoid getting spotted. And as targets were getting distracted, I picked them off from the rear. Most of the assaults were dying to my OHKs with just the instant-slash alone.

EDIT: Whoops, messed up on the math there. Corrected.

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 5100	Posted - 2013.11.16 13:25:00 - [4] - Quote If you're still getting scanned, then that means someone is using the best scanner out there. Best hope to avoid that is to max out the Gallente scout suit since that is the only suit capable of evading all scanners including the most powerful one. CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives. But please make sure they're at their full potential in 1.7.

Shutter Fly Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 98	Posted - 2013.11.16 13:45:00 - [8] - Quote You aren't dampened enough to avoid any prototype scanners. With the specs you posted, your profile is 26.496, and the precision of all prototype scanners is at most 26, the focused being 15. The only way to avoid most prototype scanners is having Scout lv5, at least profile dampening lv3, and an enhanced dampener (STD if you have dampening 5). For the focused scanner, you need both skills at lv5 and a Scout Gk.0 with 4 complex dampeners, and that is the ONLY WAY to avoid it.

Because then nothing could beat it except a Gallente with 4 complex Dampeners. My Scout has 2 enhanced Dampeners, level 3 Dampening and I still get picked up, completely ruining my chances at being a Scout player what-so-ever.
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 5102	Posted - 2013.11.16 18:58:00 - [16] - Quote Since you are Minmatar scout, you will likely have to setup three different Mk.0 fittings. One with two profile dampeners, one with a mix of kin-cats and cardiacs, and one with a pure kin-kat fit. See which fitting helps you out the most. If you get spotted while wearing kin-cats, you have the advantage of getting out quickly before anyone can reach you. CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives.

It has to be the Duvolle, but I only use M-1. I have to sacrifice my only low-slots for dampening now. Unless I'm play randoms, then I get to use the kin-cat one.

He'll have to cross train into Gallente Scout level 5 to avoid ALL scanners including the 15dB one. But let's be honest here. How often does one even encounter a 15dB scanner when most suits on the field are easily picked up by just the advanced one simply because most suits on the field are either logi, assault, or heavy? If someone is in the field sporting a 15dB scanner, then that must be one paranoid merc who is dedicating himself to hunting invisible scouts. CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives.

Also, it doesn't take anymore than one damp mod for a proto scout to avoid any scanner other than duvolle focused. Show your math please. I think the problem may be in how CCP rounds off numbers. With whole number they round off digits - always up. In other words, if your stat's work out to be 35.1 (for example) dB signature, the game sees that you are 36 dB, and so you would be picked up by advanced AS that has 36 dB sensitivity. As an aside, my example is real - lv 3 min scout with level 3 dampening ends up being just over 35 dB and cannot defeat the 36 dB scanners. I hope this helps.

Min scout is broken because CCP has broken game mechanics where they on purpose decided to take out melee combat out of the game in their erratic attempts to rework the game. As simple as that.

Corrected. I think with your set up it's not 'that one OP duvolle' proto focused AS that picks you up. All proto AS will pick you up. Their sensitivity starts at 28 dB and goes down. And this is part of the problem with min scout. It's easy to beat advanced scanners and impossible to beat proto scanners w/o sacrificing one of the two low slots to a module. Of course as everyone has said this, it's impossible for min to beat the proto focused duvolle.
