If two corps work together, or use an alt corp of theirs to have a 16v16 battle, with scouts running knives and nanite injectors. It's easy to say that most will reach the limit in only one to two battles. so 30m/60m for a net worth of 720m for the scout suits alone, if they do they do the vice versa, thats 320m cash. so....1b40m worth of exploits. thanks ccp

JP Acuna EATMOD 55	Posted - 2014.01.11 16:04:00 - [154] - Quote Awesome! I prefer these events where we get rewards for our personal effort rather than rewarding our luck for the teams we're put in. And extra SP is always welcome. I must have made like 2 kills ever with nova knifes so this is gonna be hard. Fortunately, i'll be right on time to spec into them after having my Gal Scout to lvl 5 on wendesday :D!!

Then We'll swap AR kills too. Everybody buddy up for volunteer kills! I got my hand around the pistol grip, and the safety's off.

Confirmation would be nice though.

I really want a player market..... It's not a problem, we can already transfer ISK between players, and when 1.8 launches we will also be able to transfer items. So we will have some kind of player marked, it will not be an open marked, but we can make private deals.

Hopefully, CCP notices this and goes "wow, hey these scanners really do defeat the purpose of the suit" My Min scouts can't even dampen itself to beat that dang thing. Gal Scouts sacrifice half their dang suit to fit it. Yeah my concern too, but, the scanner at least won't tell them which ones the scouts are. This could be interesting, although I feel like I've been target painted that week lol.

This could be interesting, although I feel like I've been target painted that week lol. This is why you get proto suits for kills. The event is not for scouts. It's for rifle users. Scouts only get rewarded because otherwise they'd go into hiding. But rewarding them for melee kills means that they'll be plentiful targets. And I mostly run scout suits. I guess I'll have to play frontline or try to get a medium frame scout done.

Wait... so, 5 times normal active SP, plus an omega booster, 10 TIMES NORMAL SP ACCRUAL. THIS CAN'T BE REAL. And now the Forge Gun is little more than a dust collector, no pun intended.

Quil Evrything Triple Terrors 725	Posted - 2014.01.14 05:12:00 - [174] - Quote On these types of events, the reward system is a bit fuzzy to me. I have multiple chars on a single PSN id. Sometimes, it seems like the rewards are pooled. (and combined into the which-char-do-you-want-this-on assignment dialog thingie at login time) However, sometimes, it seems like they take the top char, and give meonly the rewards for that char. or, the cap applies to the total of ALL THREE chars :( Could CCP clarify what happens, if for example, I get 100 kills on char1, 100 kills on char2, and 100 kills on char3, with same PSN id?

Innus threen The Exemplars Top Men. 28	Posted - 2014.01.14 20:27:00 - [178] - Quote According to the DustESD.db the 'Dragonfly' Scout [nSv] contains the tag_dropsuit_scout(TypeID=353506) tag in tag.1 in the CatmaAttributes table. This is probably how CCP is detecting whether or not something counts as a scout.
