As it stands now, unless you are a keyboard and mouse user (a topic that should be discussed elsewhere), the scout suit stands to be rather underpowered. The only real reason to run scout is for a pure fun factor or for sniping. It often is not even as stealthy as people make it to be; whenever a scout is seen, everyone on the entire match guns for him specifically.

Jumping from a high place and having that huge inertia dampener crater effect is certainly not helping. Therefore, the best thing to do is to negate all fall damage from the scout. The inertia dampener, therefore, would not need to be activated for fall damage to be negated. What does this do, you ask? Most of you should be familiar with the fact that when falling a certain distance, the inertia dampener prompt comes up. While falling after this point, the weapon that you were holding becomes unavailable.

What should happen for the scout is the falling animation should be removed. Also, upon landing, there would be no recovery time for the scout to get back up, as he would land on his feet. This would give a scout a more viable role on the battlefield by allowing him to jump out of a dropship and instantly partake in action as opposed to having to recover from the fall.

This would also increase the efficiency of the Nova Knives, which could be charged up while falling to get the drop on enemies and slice them before they could react. Overall, falling from large heights with an inertia dampener negates stealth tactics, which would negate the use of scouts in the first place. Also, by having scouts jump out of dropships prepared for battle, this would help the dropship improve upon its roll as troop transport instead of just being useed to fly into inaccessible locations. More dropships would have mCRUs as scouts would be more willing to spawn in on the ship.

Trust me these people will talk about how you wrote what you wrote and not the message in what was written . They get side tracked sometimes like that .

I am in favor of anything that would help a scout and sounds reasonable . They should be the most flexible and have the greatest dexterity as well as being the most limber .

havent you heard that they are gonna have all their bonus reworked and the hability to fit cloak (invisibility) devices -+?-+

0Yes but would it be enough? I mean, people will just start spam-firing everywhere to find them. This alongside it would make the scout more appealing, along with (now that I have thought of it) a reduction to spawn timer delay.

I believe scouts should take less fall damage

but having them take NO fall damage is a little on the unfair side

CCP should add some agility skills that :


reduces the falling damage by a %. (scout suit's falling damage are reduced by default, like you only losing 10 HP for a 20m fall).

increase the jump's length by %(and also a module that allows to double jump, only the second jump is affected by the module).

and reduce the delay of all animation like switching weapons, doing melee, the recovery time of inertia dampener's animation for others suits, using nanohives,nano injectors, portals, remotes,ect....


and why we can't crush enemy whith the inertia dampener? it would be a risky but rewarding choice in some urban maps.
