I absolutely cannot believe I'm saying this. Disclaimer: I am not saying "OMG THIS IS OP NERF IT NOW!", but I'm saying it's going to be interesting to say the least. We don't know the new medium frame stats so this might all go down the drain.
All of those little buffs to scouts makes it extremely attractive as a combat suit in comparison to an assault suit. Pros: They're going to be able to avoid adv scanners without a single skill point, making flanking a thing
Two equipment
Higher speed
Cloaks
Smaller targets/hitboxes
Vastly superior regeneration
Higher jump height = Overall better mobility
Cons: 100~ less base HP
One less slot

Honestly the more I think about it, the less ridiculous the 10% ROF bonus on assaults sounds

OZAROW wrote:I predict that you starting this thread, is a way to get things in people's head before the suit even comes out, being the start of the Nerf QQ, so thanks for that. But i don't know if ur a scout, if so shame on you for drawing attention to our suits lol.
But heres the thing, TRUE SCOUTS, will kick ACE with these, because our adv suit is now going to be our basic an our proto will be our adv, we're used to horrible suits, med frames are not.
And the gallente is the only one any assault player will switch too, because of its bonuses BUT that means proto or nothing for the assaults that like to trade shots, they will be too used to taking fire that they will get frustrated before reaching proto I hope!
But with new cloaking being a thing people will want I see your point, only gallente tho, med frames won't adapt to the other scouts as decently, and I assume that most med frames don't have SP in the places as scouts an it will be noticeable .
If scouts switch to med frames the transition would be easy an deadly because we already have almost every mod , most med frames never invested in any electronics or speed, so they ll run brick scouts, an if I'm correct from what I've read cloaking won't work if your damaged or passively repairing ( could be wrong) but a bricked gal scout with 3 HP rep trying to fix a 720 health bar is gonna be a sitting duck. Not to mention CPU an pg is nothing like a med frame suit.
True scouts are gonna tear things up, but med frames I think will get frustrated, HOPEFULLY! An if assaults are getting rof bonuses TTK on a scout will be vicious, I see slayer logies going gallente logi as FTOM or back to assaults, an a lot of heavies, but their will be a lot of new scouts but I don't see that being their main fits, why go scout, when gal logi can have CPU bonuses to equip to run cloaks, enought lows to dampen an run CPU pg extenders , scanners an damage mods with more HP , same with amar logistics, also having a sidearm an cloak possibility .
I hope your wrong, I just spend 8 months in scout hell, if assaults make it get nerfed, then leave it once it's nerfed the scout community is gonna be friggen choked after getting so excited for a long awaited buff, but shame on you for mentioning it. Shame on me for mentioning a possible imbalance?

Roy Ventus wrote: Which explains why they're taking so long to put out the Assaults. I'm not mad at them for thinking such because while Assaults do have some good eHP(minus the Min's damage bonus) bonuses their actual Assault bonus doesn't work as well. Maybe give them a CPU/PG bonus for weapons, a better reloading ability, or something? I believe with the new sidearms and the actual changes to the weapons(*crosses fingers for AR changes*), the Scouts will actually still be able to fear Assaults. If it's a CPU/PG bonus or a better reloading ability, the deal is sealed and I'm going scout.
It's damage/ROF or nothing from what it looks like.

Maken Tosch wrote:Bones McGavins wrote:Agreed. Even without cloak, unless assault fittings are drastically changed, the scout looks to be the next big thing. The inherent ability to slip under advanced scanners without ANY mods is huge. Plus smaller hitbox, speed, stamina and an extra equipment?
eHP on even the advanced suits, without sacrificing speed is in the mid 500s. You allow for speed sacrifice and its more like 700-800 (still a lot faster than most assaults at like 5.0/7.3).
Im fine with this, as I run a minmitar assault with dampeners to get my stealthy (sorta speedy) combat on. So ill be able to slide right in to one of the new scouts and go to town. The inherent ability to avoid some active scanners is not that big if you do the math without modules included. Actually it is. In order to avoid an advanced scanner, you need a complex profile damp on assaults.
Scouts have that built in lol

I am not freaking out, more intrigued about how it will all play out and if CCP knows what they're doing.
