I'd lose the precision enhancer - it's basically doing nothing for you.
It's not going to get your precision low enough to pick up any scout suit and you'll already pick up any non-scout suit not using complex dampeners anyway. You'd get a lot more utility out of a shield or damage mod in that high slot.

The highlight of my scout career (on my alt, still waiting for amarr scout on main) was when I defended the multi-layered under ground point (I think it is usually C) from 5 people and survived with only my ZN-28 nova knives on my standard mini-scout. I felt so badass afterward but that didn't last long.

Awesome.
I've done similar a few times, but not quite as effectively as this.
Usually I can hold the point for long enough to see backup arrive though. |

Thanks to Cyrius Li-Moody's tips on defending a point I killed a guy hacked and waited. First red comes [GalLogi] in try's to hack, [the map where A has an upper level and a few feet away has a CRU and the infamous orange pipes] killed him continued my rounds. Second guy comes in [CalAssault] try's to hack gets dropped. [Didn't have remotes] Third time, two Minja's come in, one to hck the other to kill me. Kill the one hacking first and a well cooked grenade for the second.  Fourth time, a heavy, couldn't get him the first time [there was an uplink on the upper level] he waits for it to finish before he drives off. He drives off, check for remotes, hack it, wait. He comes back to try to counter hack, I kill him. THEN THEY SEND TWO HEAVIES AND TANK AFTER ME. The best part, A FRIENDLY TANK SHOWS UP AND BLOWS UP THE TANK AND THE ONE HEAVY I DIDN'T KILL. And we won the battle.
Now do it in militia gear.
Then. You will have earned my respect.

I find if i am doing well, back up never arrives. Which if fine, because hopefully that means my team is pushing other points.

My most epic moments have been in Domination. There are no other points. |

Aero Yassavi wrote:Scouts aren't given quick speed and low HP to defend objectives, in my opinion. Gallente Scouts with enhanced scan range are ideally suited for point defense in close quarters. You can always see where the enemy is looking and where there are. You are quick enough to always attack from where they aren't looking.
A Minja would probably prefer using his speed to get to remote places quickly, but a single Gallente Scout easily overwhelms 3 people if they don't use the correct tactics. A G-Scout can stay where an Assault has to yield. |

I always feel so happy when I can defend a null cannon all by myself. :3
Great job!

I've found that E-WAR Gal Scout is perfect for skirmish point defense so long as there is a decent amount of cover. You can tell exactly when enemies are approaching, hide from them by obscuring line of sight, then shotgun/knife/RE them when they move for the hack after seemingly "clearing" the area.
If they send multiple guys, my best bet has always been to wait till they try to multi-hack THEN drop a remote :) |

Solo point defence is the best way to play dust.

I once used my LAV to block the door to the point (could be the same one you was on as it was the same crater) and turned on the LAV's active scanner then hopped out (ended up right inside). There was an enemy uplink on a nearby cylinder that was out of my reach so it was obvious I was about to see some action. Every time have came for it I would go upstairs and drop down with meh knives to kill 'em. He wised up pretty quick and started scouting the area for me b4 going for any hacks but I managed to hide until he finally went for it. He eventually took me out but thanks to my LAV he had to take the long way to the point and so he instead hacked the CRU. Another red spawned from it and they both tried to quickly hack my ride to move it. Unfortunately for them I spawned on my upstairs uplink, jumped down and got a double knife kill before hacking the CRU back.
Honestly not as epic as what you went through (lol sounds so epic!) but I did have a good time eating that guy's suits.

That's mainly what I do as a Scout.
I plan to cloak right next to the objective and appear there and do a short dance before killing red dots who try to hack. |

Scouts and sentinels are the best defenders and will be even more beastly in 1.8. Have a skilled scout/sentinel on 2 of the points and let the team target the 3rd. Win every time lol.

I foresee Squiddy Ninjas(calamari scoots) will be damnably good at point defense. massive scan range, highs to fit scanning amps to the point of picking up basically anything that's not a cloaked gal scout. they're going to know where and what you are before you even start questioning how this precognitive prick knows where you're going to be to lay down some RE's.
If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Big fun doing this lately, but I do it a little differently. The NULLs are deathtraps all the way around. What you want is the ReSups near the NULLs. Leave the NULL alone, flip the ReSup. Then lie in wait for the happy-go-lucky loner who can't lay off and chew him up. Then, relocate and hide again. By the time he figures out: 1. itsatrap! 2. you're relocating. 3. you're pretty well damped and patient. you've already racked up what? Seven unanswered kills? A real poker player leaves at kill 5 and sets up the same show at another NULL. Or just lets the dude flip the ReSup and wander away, only to watch his pretty blue ReSup turn red just as he gets out of range.

I used to do this a lot back when the objectives were omniscient. I don't have the precision range for handling it now, at least not at my skill level. Maybe that will change with cloaks.
Generally speaking, I feel my REs work well for this too. Of course it would help if a blue or two would spawn in to an objective once they see it is becoming a target and I blow the first hacker away. Thats what I do anyways.
