*Has balls of steel*

Since the heavy frames got their balls ( the HMG) back I just thought ya know maybe you could do the same for scouts perhaps?

For the love of everything in Matari space PLEASE

I'll do anything!

It's not funny, I want my balls back damnit!

And for my character to be changed to be a dude so I can have my literal balls back too!

Scout and Nova knives are a lot of fun

Fun yes, smart no.

Have you seen the weapons we use?

Steel is the worst possible thing for your nads to be made of.

Fine.
I have balls made from the same armor that Gallente use, and shields to protect them.

fun fact

11m/s is 24.6mph,a tad faster than alot of Olympic runners.

fun fact, top speed I've personally run at is 30mph- I was supposed to maintain that speed for 5 seconds but after recent surgery in my lower abdominal area I hadn't recovered fully enough to do that. Doubly fun, I was training with Olympic athletes at the time who were doing the same training only their goal was 35 mph for ten seconds.

These were on special treadmills with harnesses so there is that part, and air resistance is the major hurdle for getting past 26mph on an actual track, but Usain Bolt has been clocked at closer to 27mph. While current science proposes that top speed a human can reach is 40mph

Not to mention that Cardiac Regulators and Kinetic Catalyzers are based off of EVE's boosters. Boosters have huge drawbacks. you inject them and they last from 5 minutes to an hour and after words you have a crash. Biotic mods in DUST don't suffer this problem for the same lore problems that dropuplink teleportation doesn't affect mercs: we're going to die so lets use every advantage we can. Plus the Scout suit's description says it is made to go faster and jump higher than normal. 7.63m/s on a Gallente Scout is

Top Speed problem the current base speed is uder 18mph. lol high-school sprint speeds are better than that. You're telling me that a body that should be trained to be peak physical health can't outrun a little 16 year old?

But Regardless of speed being the issue, so many tourists thinking they know about scouts. He you guys go, something that was coined by the patron saint of scouts:

Tourist Checklist
Was the proposed "fix" posted by someone other than a Scout?
Does the proposed "fix" include Shared Squad Sight in some form?
Does the proposed "fix" benefit others more than it benefits the Scout?
Does the proposed "fix" provide for nerfs to accompany any/all buffs?
Does the proposed "fix" receive unanimous support from non-Scouts?
Does the proposed "fix" perturb the majority of full-time Scouts?

Most of these suggestions look like they come from a bunch of people in Hawaiian tee shirts that keep staring up because the buildings are so tall.

aaaand an EMP grenade, nothing like the flux, this grenade explodes on a large area eliminating equipments, disabling in EVERY way a vehicle (means no getting in no getting out no modules no shooting no moving no to all) for a short period of time, and disrupts all electric systems on a dropsuit for like 10 seconds, that means no reticule, no map, no distinguishing enemies from friendlies, no icons of CRU and that stuff on your field of view, it will be like going without a helmet in every sense, for 10 seconds, but this grenade deals NO damage at all

Anything?

Huehuehuehue
Female scout suits do look hawt in the warbarge

? omg minmatar looks terrible, but the galante scouts...

Excuse me sir, but Sinboto Simmons i know for a fact is a scout, personally i have given up the ways of Ez mode assault and am at lv3 scout/dampening, one i hit lv5 damps i'll dodge proto scanners with one mod.
Seems like somebody is just looking for ways to derail a thread, and make people feel bad when they have no reason to.
Also seems like Mr.Epeen stroker needs to scrawl back into his little 'nonscout' hole where he can stroke his beckbearded Epeen and believe he's the final authority in DUST, that everything should be exactly As he states, with no deviations for he is supposed supreme overlord of oob3r L33t faschism.

Ever played Mechwarrior online? That suffers from the same 'hit detection' problems for scouts as DUST.
The way they fixed it (kinda?) is by making heavier engines extremely hard to fit, and super easy to kill.
Imagine losing 9/10 of your armor, AND one of your few weapons, and you gain lightning speed, yet one glancing blow to the side torso and it deals straight to the core, insta-sploding you

How this could transfer to DUST:
Either Tech III scouts, which are far off, or a scout type 2 which bonuses to biotics, and has EVEN LESS hp than the current scout.
Example stats: walk speed 6.7
Sprint speed 8.8/9.0
Shield/armor 70/40 and 60/80
Low slots 3/4
High slots 2/1
No sidearm
No equipment
LESS cpu/pg
5% bonus per level to biotics efficacy.
Role bonus- 5% per level to profile

? omg minmatar looks terrible, but the galante scouts...

Can scouts have their extra equipment slot back?

Make a variant of the scout suit, like the assault rifle variants, for each race. Take away the sidearm and give it an extra equipment slot, just like the old type two, and three equipment slots at proto, like the scout vk.0.

Doit CCP.

Tasty!
I would spec into scouts asap if this returned.
