Sniper is officially meant to be a Scout role.
Shotgun Scouts are another popular build that CCP have encouraged players to use.
Your proposal completely eliminates two VERY IMPORTANT Scout roles.
No thank you. |

I frequently Shotgun without a Sidearm, and rarely die without taking at least 2 people with me. You enjoy your 50, I'm happy with my 100+, thanks.
And against a Sniper with good situational awareness, good luck finding them when they've got a cloak - they'll be invisible by the time you get close enough to matter. You know that's why we're getting the extra equipment slot, right? It goes with a fitting bonus that will be practically required to use the beautiful new item we're getting to play with. |

ill find you just as before. "YOU'VE BEEN SCANNED"
amarr logi using cloak (with better passive equipment bonus) >>> 1 weapon scout using cloak
They also confirmed our Profile is being reduced, and I don't need a Sidearm OR Equipment slot for those Profile Dampeners.
"Scan Attempt Prevented" |

"Scan Attempt Prevented" so what setup beats the duvolle focused again? your passive reduction will be a drop in the bucket, when im scanning under 20db's. you just dont get it kid, scouts are about to become even worse. quick question, how much health will you have after you apply enough dampeners to get under 15db? also, its "SCAN ATTEMPT PREVENTED"
The new Profile on Scouts isn't 100% confirmed, but it's likely to be either 30 or 35 as the base value. With only passive skills reducing that, we can beat the 28dB Scanners already, and a GalScout should be pretty close to the Duvolle's Precision with only one Dampener.
Also, yours should have been "YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED", and you missed the capitals in "dB"and at the beginning of almost every sentence you've ever written, along with plenty of punctuation I could point out.
Happy hunting, and good luck taking advantage of that Scanner when you need it to see me while I have you in direct line of sight. |

No thank you. The Scout is being reworked as a CovOps role. I think two sidearm slots would potentially fit nicely with a super awesome cloaking ability, especially if every race had their own short and long range option to choose from. There's nothing that says a Scout has to use a sniper rifle, or against adding a new light frame Role with Sniper rifle bonuses that maybe could use a less than awesome cloak. See here for details. Adapt or die, as they say in EVE.
I'll gladly adapt to what CCP have said I'm getting, which is an invisible Shotgunner without the SMG I'm used to having on some of my fittings (about 50/50 whether I have a Sidearm or not) in case of emergencies. |
