Hello all,
I have just started playing again after a long break because of work relocation. I played during beta and played mostly as a scout (switching between a shotgun and a sniper rifle). I am thinking of remaking a scout again since now all my SP have been reset.
I am hoping to get some advice on how to make an extremely stealthy build. I presume it is still a scout suit to start with. Then, however, this is where I am getting a bit lost: which race should I use (am I thinking on the right track)? It seems that out-of-the-box the Gallente scout suit is the natural choice because of its innate bonuses. But when all things consider, such as slotting, equipment and other things, is it still the case? Would Minmatar or Caldari or even Amarr be a better choice in terms of stealth? I know people are still debating on the merits of the Amarrian version but I am open for suggestion nonetheless.
Many thanks!

Overall, Gallente is still going to be the best suit possible for ultimate stealth. Not only do they get a bonus for cloaking equipment like all the other scouts will get, they will also keep their bonus of reduced scan profile per skill level. If you max out your Gallente scout and profile dampening skills, and slap a profile dampener into your scout, it will be virtually undetectable by pretty much everything.
You will also still have plenty of other slots and a second equipment slot left to do whatever you wish to further benefit your suit. This is still doable on other scout suits, but in the end Gallente is the best one for its innate bonuses.

Thanks all!
Again, all things consider, will 1.8 make much different to a stealth orientated play style?
By the way, would anyone kind enough to give me a quick summery of all different scout suits? I sort of get some basic ideas, for instance, Minmatar is good at speed and knife; Amarr is good of stamina and potentially as tough as a medium suit; Caldari is good for scanning (does it make them a good for scanning for other stealthed / cloaked players?) and Gallente is good for stealthing. The only downside of all scout suits are paper thin. Am I correct?
Thanks again. |

Yea, the C-scout is gonna be an anti-scout...scout. M-Scout is the hacker/assassin. A-Scout is the light assault.
Considering the G-scout has a bonus to profile and the most low slots (can be used to hold profile dampeners) combined with a cloak (25% profile bonus while cloaked) and you are a MW3 with assassin, blind eye, dead silence, AND suppressors on all your weapons lol.
Best part is that 2 complex damp mods and the cloak will be enough to dodge ALL SCANS (assuming the related skills are all lv5).
2 equip slots mean you can even go as far (wonder how many people are going to try this) as duel cloaking yourself!
Yup, I'm amped again lol.
