At this point I'm not going to be believing anything until it's in my hands.
I want to believe after all 1.7 is amazing, but too many times have I had false hope.

While I am greatly appreciative for the acknowledgment of the Scout's deficiencies, he only rehashed information about the cloak (CCP's carrot for Scouts).
I am waiting for a Dev to confirm they are actually working on the cloak (+ other scout buffs).

Well just the wording alone makes it sound like it's coming soon, and if nothing else, it's being actively worked on.

I am NOT happy.
I am NOT happy that they backed out of what they previously considered (giving scouts a special slot for cloaks),and instead letting everyone use them.
Once again,it'sgoing to be "why bother using a scout suit?"
They did mention "additional Scout specializations", but until they get specific, I'm not feeling particularly optimistic.
I am inclined to actually completely stop playing, once I see non-scouts using cloaks.

I prefer to promote diversity, personally. Having a huge bonus to cloak fitting is a great boon to scouts. It means if you want to be a cloaked 'anything else', you are really going to have to sacrifice your fitting to make it work. Things like that promote a rich gaming environment, rather than a predictable one.

I predict we will see many, many cloaked logi suits.

Logis with gimped fits, sure, and that are much easier to see moving cloaked.
It will be good for sniper and shotgun fits of other suits, and that's about it. Other than that it will be a novelty and more of a joke than anything else. In other words, get gud?

Reading the blog brought a tear to my eye. We are going to get so much qq when we get buffed and the new equipment comes out...then again people will say anything thats wrong with the scout is fine due to the cloaking device. Sadly enough I see that coming. But I personally am saving up to finish off my hacking skills...stupid 1.2 mill sp requirment- grumbles and carries rail rifle back into battle.

8. Do you feel equipment spam is a problem and if so what are your thoughts on possible solutions for littered uplinks and stacked nanohives?
by The Council of Planetary Management (CPM)
Use of equipment is obviously encouraged but abuse of any system to the point where itGÇÖs detrimental to gameplay is obviously a problem. So, yeah, itGÇÖs definitely an issue. WeGÇÖd like to approach the problem by first increasing the PG/CPU costs along with role-specific skills that reduce those costs to discourage mass fitting of drop uplinks and nanohives, and put them back into the hands of the specialists. Eventually, weGÇÖd want to introduce the ability for the enemy to hack a piece of equipment and take ownership of it (to encourage smarter placement of equipment instead of dumping dozens in plain sight) and have War Barge-fired EMP strikes that destroy all equipment over a very large area.
The Proto version cost enough CPU/PG to fit, if the value is raised it will make me cut corners on my logi I may not be able to afford. Please do not raise it by much. I do not spam, I resupply there is a difference.

It will be much more than viable. Finally, intelligent snipers will be rewarded for taking a few key shots, then moving under cloak to a different position. If anything they may end up being OP lol

I highly doubt that until I see a scout that have the slightest advantage over the medium frame, and how long will it take until the medframe users will call for nerfs? I have lost hope... |

CCP really has this to an art.
1. Make something fun, but slightly unfair. Give it to person A.
2. Take it away and give it to Person B.
3. Tell Person A that you'll give it back soon, like two or three months or something.
4. Eventually give it back, at the expense of Person B.
5. Tell Person B that you'll give it back soon, like two or three months or something.
You get the picture.

I have no Idea what you are doing that makes the sniper scout not viable. sure it's not as good as a medframe sniper but it is viable

With the perfect LOS scanning (i.e no matter how damped you are, you light up in a sniper scope), sniping in general has turned into a Tank and Damage mod game, which Med frames are much better at. Combine with the insane initial scope sway, sniping has turned into camp sniping.
If they make a good cloak, you could sneakily get to a good fire lane, drop 2 or 3 baddies while cloaked and then drop behind cover and wait for the recharge. Since you are hard to scan, they will only have a "General area" where you are, and this allows you to really make the stealth aspect of the scout sniper shine.
