I'd rather the suit be easier to fit.

I'm at 36 mil SP and I carry an ADV weapon, no grenade, or Sidearm in order to run 3 Complex Shield extenders, complex red bottle, and complex damp

Is the idea to force the suit to only use ADV gear to fit all the slots?

How about just to melee weapons

Just wanted to get people's thoughts on the continuation of the Minmatar scout bonus to Nova Knives (+5% damage per level) for 1.8.

I know there are alot of Nova Knife specialists who love this, and use the Mini Scout exclusively because of it, but I'm of the opinion that it limits the flexibility of the class.

A specific bonus into a single weapon limits the usability of the bonus to very specific uses and fits. As it stands the current bonus means that, even if other racial variant melee weapons are released, the Mini scout will effectively be restricted to the one weapon. And as the scout is the only class that regularly makes use of melee weapons, with the Mini scout featuring as the melee specialist of choice, this limits the usability of racial melee weapons in general.

I would instead propose a blanket bonus for the Mini scout instead, to sidearms.

A bonus of +2% damage/level to sidearms means that Nova Knives still receive an increase, while also opening up fits to include other sidearms.

Thoughts?

You require another bonus on top of your Hacking bonus? Is there no end to your greed?

What of the Amarr scout bonus? That's worth discussing. Suggesting you need more from a great pair of bonuses is just acting damn entitled,

Now that I've caught up... leave the minja alone. it is perfect for anyone who has played them from the start. Go tweak a different scout.

They also added the 5% hacking bonus, so its not as limiting as it used to be. No changes are needed.

We have 3....however the injustice here just seems too great.

I've played them from the start, and I only play Minmatar. I personally find the bonus to a specific weapon to be limiting. Of my 4 regular fitouts, only 1 uses knives.

I do like the hacking bonus, as I spend alot of time behind enemy lines, so I'm happy that there is a bonus that is generally useful for my playstyle.

Like I said, I understand alot of scouts are passionate about their knives, and I'm quite happy with the current bonuses. Just putting out an idea on increasing the versatility of the suit, and to allow room for the additional melee weapons when (if) they get released.
