Scout is a secondary role for me but I fit differently than yours. Combat Rifle, Nova Knives and Remote Explosives with a focus on profile dampening and enhanced passive range.

I don't have any biotic modules installed but I did get the passive skill trained up. Maybe that'll change once the new scout suits show up.

I'm currently finishing off Dropsuit Electronics and Dropsuit Engineering to maximize my ability to fit the cloak. I can see the many situations were I would have been able to get into the proper position for an attack or escaped to try again if I had a cloak.

Hm. I don't see the point in going passive scan on a Min Scout. If you want passive scan, just go Gallente, as they are GODS at this (My fit I posted earlier has 90m range, and scans at 31 dB. Dang.) I have a fit that uses a range amp, but that's only because of PG requirements (on my ADV scout. No reason to run PG, because he has enough room for Adv Cloak. I just needed a module with less than 2 PG. Range amp it was)

I will be running a Min Scout with focus on Speed, Stealth, and CQC.

Quick Fit Description:

270 shields, 87 armor. 210 Melee.

Six Kin ACR, Ishnoks, M1 Locus.

Sprints at 10.38. Runs a Proto Cloak.

Ishnoks are the ultimate assassination tool, but that 210 melee will really come in handy. By firing an ACR point blank for 1s, and then meleeing afterwards, I can deal 770 damage. That is some CQC power right there. Unless you are really tanking a med frame, that sucker is going down. Another punch will bring that up to almost 1k. GL HF.

Proto Cloak has insane recharge (2 seconds of cloak per one second wait), and 80 second cloak time. I can cloak for 46 seconds and cover almost 480m in that time. Travelling between objectives will be a breeze, no more worrying about being seen in transition. I can't fit remotes, but since this is a hit and run fit, I don't expect to need them. If I need to take on someone point blank, it will be ACR+Melee with the element of surprise. Should work.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thoughts? Opinions? "Just go Gallente" Thanks. I'll abandon all race loyalty I've built up since EVE, just so I can be competitive on the DUST battlefield. Perfect. Also, LOL @ everyone arguing the usefulness of knives. I'm sure all 50 people that use them will be utterly stoked to go minmatar. everyone else, just go Gallente.
