Scouts have to be fast and stealthy; they can't have a lot of shield and armor.

What?
Scouts aren't supposed to go "assault" or to tank like a heavy!

I'm not telling to HTFU; I'm saying to use Dropsuits accordingly to their roles.
I have Scout fittings, Assault fittings, Heavy fittings and Logistics Fittings to cover every possible situations.
You can't skill into only one type of dropsuit and expect it to be able to "do it all".
Scouts' roles are mainly Recon and Intel.

Sniper Rifles and Rail Rifles are a good fit for that role, no?
Scouts can play "Saboteur" roles too; planting REs and Uplinks in critical locations, performing ninja hacks, Ninja knifing, etc.

Aren't the Scout the speediest and steathiest Dropsuit around?
Those are the skills you have to build and use around.
I use all the type of Dropsuit; When I need speed, I choose the Scout.
Stop putting words in my mouth, Tosch; I tought you were cooler than that...

Dude, saying that my words are "implying" things is like giving them another meaning. Stop that. Please.
I made a specific scout fitting that can be useful in any match, all match long:
Quote:
All the whining about Scouts gave me the idea for this fit. The idea is to never engage in close and medium range. I've tried it and had a lot of fun. It is fast as hell, you know where your enemies are and you can't really be scanned. With this, you can give Intel to your Squad along with some sniping support. The Flaylock is a last resort if someone gets too close or if you want to execute a victim that is clueless of your presence. This will stay amongst my permanent Fittings!
'Dragonfly' Scout [nSv]
'Covenant' Sniper Rifle
'Splashbone' Flaylock Pistol
Duvolle Quantum Active Scanner
Complex Profile Dampener
Complex Kinetic Catalyser
Get down your high horse, man, seriously.

Quote:There's only so much effort anyone can put in without seeing a return on investment, and you're only the latest in a long tradition now of vets gracefully stepping away after trying their best and hitting a wall.
This part is actually pretty funny, because you can switch the word "Vets" with "Newbies" and it still ring true.
I'm not disagreeing with anyone here, I'm just giving my point of view.
Like EVE, Dust is a constantly evolving game. We won't have every versions of everything or a complete balanced game anytime soon and I'm "ok" with that. CCP develops on the long term. I knew that from the very beginning.
For now, sticking to Scout-only gameplay is a very limiting and frustrating approach to Dust, I concede.
