the way I fit my scouts, I never use armor, it will slow you down, always use kin kats and cardiacs. with the weaponry you are facing out there armor will not save you, for example a standard armor plate is 110 hp thats 4 AR rounds, if someone gets a bead on you you are going to die anyway, you mine as well have speed to escape and to dodge bullets.

The first thing I would do would be to get your biotics to level 5, now you have a speed bonus that is like wearing a catalyzer.

Next get scout suit 3, profile dampening 4, now you beat advanced and basic scanners passively. For scouts its all about speed and stealth, that is your survivability, not hp.

The only time I would consider plates on a scout would be the proto gallente scout, because it has 4 low slots.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 1733	Posted - 2013.12.25 11:54:00 - [11] - Quote This thread made me think about how fun it was back in chromosome to speed tank a minmatar logi... 4 extenders (or 3 and an energizer) 2 kin cats 2 of the following 3: -shield regulator -cardio regulator -profile dampener As a strictly support role you just run in, heal people up, drop some links and hives and get out. In chromosome you had to run an armor repair because you couldn't rely on just your shields, but I could still see it functioning...just haven't tried it in a while. It requires a pure avoidance of the enemy though. Maybe a short/medium range weapon for insurance, but man it's just a completely different experience from the regular logi stuff.

I love it so proto gallante sqout here I come have 100 qufe to burn and 300 aur proto to burn ( remember the 75 % sale they had =ƒÿ£) Logi going sqout over and out Edit 300 aur not 500

tripppy 9001 The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 0	Posted - 2013.12.25 13:38:00 - [15] - Quote back in chromo, i ran the scout suit with the two equipment slots. Uplinks and RE's with complex kin cats. Now since uprising i speced into min logi , base skills and proto kin cats. ' My usual opening suit on a PC battle is proto logi with 4 complex kin cats. and 3 active uplinks +REs it runs fast stamina is a problem but does the job on the home point. NOW i run advanced min scout. it works well. mixing it up with profile dampening kin cats and hack mods in the low slots usually uplink or RE's as the equipment. I have to double the suits. because i cant make a good fit with a advanced logi with speed. I REALLY MISS THE SCOUT WITH 2 equipment slots. ++One of my favorite fits now is Minmatar advanced scout shield extender complex sidearm dmg modifier sub machine gun advanced nova knifes enhanced profile dampener basic profile dampener ++and for quick uplinks basic min scout suit basic precision enhancer flayloc pistol r-9 uplinks complex kin cat enhanced kin cat. Basically started juggling the kin cats and uplinks. basically wanting at least 2 active uplinks with the left over CPU/PG i could only fit a flayloc (no PG usuage) I'm not a logi. I'm an insurgent.

Protected Void Endless Hatred 210	Posted - 2013.12.25 17:35:00 - [19] - Quote I don't know if it counts as tanking, but I have 1 complex KinCat on all my fittings. Just can't do without it. Also, I have a proto runner suit with 3 complex KinCats and a green pill, but that's mainly just used at the start of matches to get quickly into the action. Other than that, the closest I get to tanking is scan range.

Darken-Sol BIG BAD W0LVES 1035	Posted - 2013.12.25 18:31:00 - [22] - Quote My scout fit is evil and fun. scout m-1 basic shield extender combat rifle assault scrambler pistol sleek locus grenade remote explosives complex reactive plates enhanced profile dampener as long as I hit and run nothing usually bothers me. I lead with the pistol to make people flee or take cover. When they think I've left I smoke em with the combat rifle from a different direction. If they chase I re them. Its a casual fit that turns out to be extremely effective near the front line. If you try to ninja everyone at once you will die. Who cares? Its like 14k. There was a time we fought good tankers. Now we just fight good tanks.

You'll be better served by going Lvl 5 in your scout suit & lvl 3 dampening w/ a basic dampener. Since they both give the same bonus. But one grants you 2 skill bonuses & a sweet new Dropsuit you'll barely use, & the other gives you a complex module that you will never use as a scout. Maxing out dampening has virtually no benefit to a scout fit. OT, I still speed tank. Whether I'm droping Uplinks, or chasing a tank, it's that Red & Green cocktail that keeps me going.

mollerz Minja Scouts 1444	Posted - 2013.12.25 20:53:00 - [27] - Quote I run a complexe Green/Red on my minja. The very act of running, and the endurance mechanic is so wack tho. I crouch for no reason some times. I run in slow motion sometimes as well. I'll get caught on all kinds of terrain and geometry, I'll jump and slow down mid air. It's extremely sloppy as hell, but I try :)

Ghost Kaisar Titans of Phoenix 1325	Posted - 2013.12.25 23:16:00 - [30] - Quote My Assault suit can get away with speed tanking. Just not my scout. It's too squishy to speed tank reliably, because even at 10m/s you still get hit far too much. My 700 eHP Min Assault that sprints at 8.8 does far better than my 350 eHP scout at 10.0 Minmatar Faction Warfare: Let's get Organized
