I have 2 speed suits. 2 reds, a green, and a codebreaker or 3 reds and a green. Flux uplinks to go with them. The suit has 1 job, to get to the uncapped points at the start of a skirmish. I'll hack the nearest objective, switch to a speed suit with gauged uplinks, and never use it again.
The first big hit to speed tanking was the change of a 1 second delay to stamina regen from sprinting, the second was aim assist, and now hit-detection is at its most effective ever. 5 rail rifle bullets or 2 bursts from a combat rifle kill my suits, all hit with enhanced accuracy.
The cloak will do well to bring back speed tanking. regardless of "shimmer" it is 30/60/80 seconds of electronic cloak without taking up a low slot for a dampener. Rumors of reduction to weapon damage, if proven true, will give everyone more time find cover if spotted. And fixing the scanners to work as originally intended, having a "snapshot" effect, will reduce the scan spam.
What I think will be a great incentive for me, though, is the return of the 6th slot of proto scouts. I've had the utmost level of hate for the Minmatar Scout since May. It is just such a bad suit. 1.8 makes me take back all my hate because it has become my lovely Scout Vk.0 again.
lol Gal Scout with 2 complex shield extenders will have 232 shields, 162 armor and 4 kincats bring it to 11.11m/s
Min scout with 3 complex shield extenders will have 354 shields and 87 armor, and 3 kincats bring it to 11.11m/s
So max sprint will be the same while the Min scout gets 47 more HP. though change a red for a green and speeds drop to 10.37 and 10.72 respectively. Though unless you're using an Allotek Plasma Cannon and Core Flaylock pistol you won't be able to fit proto weapons or EQ other than a nanohive with an ADV cloak.

Says the guy that quit the game when Aim Assist was at its strongest I quit, because I was fed up with CCP's direction. Especially after talking with Jenza when she randomly joined a squad I was in. I asked her a few questions and her response to Scouts was unsatisfying. And Aim Assist is still a problem but I still almost always come first in every game. The point was not that you took a hiatus, but when you took it. I'd like to see how your speed tank fared then. But you're also confusing personal skill with viability. I can regularly get a 3.50+KDR with a plasma cannon and flaylock pistol on a C-1 Assault. Does that make it viable? No, it means that either I am a good play or that the other people are bad players.DTOracle wrote:With the 3rd low slot on my Min scout, I will definitely be speed tanking in 1.8. But whether it will be more viable than stealth, only time will tell. Though I doubt it personally. I'm telling you, 40 cpu and 9 pg is a cheap price to pay for 30 seconds of electronic invisibility to proto scanners. the cloak is going to be a great active dampener.

You can however fit 3 shields, 2 kincats, and a cardiac regulator.Limited to flaylock and plasma cannon, but still able to fit it.
