DUST Search - Dropsuit Upgrades

I have a question, but I have some statements to make first. A few questions actually.

Ok, so, this is my main character. Dedicated scout. There are upgrades that are ESSENTIAL to run a scout at least halfway properly. Here is what I have so far

Biotics lvl 5
lvl 3 regs
lvl 1 HTH and kins
basic armor & shield
PG/CPU lvl 1
PD lvl 3
Precision lvl 3
range lvl 1

I use a basic Gallente scout suit. Now, heres my problem. I want to also run a speed tanked Minja, but with just the basic alone, the PG/CPU is insane. And, ok, got mixed up. I want to get kins at least to lvl 3, plus proto knives, and HTH lvl 3, plus lvl 1 proficiency for the knives BEFORE I even skill into Minja.
So, my problem is, if I max my pg/cpu before the kins, will be able to fit two enhanced kins on my suit?
Or should I just use my alt specifically for my Minja?

Or just let my SP build up again so I can skill into everything?

I know its a lot but I would appreciate some feedback from fellow scouts on this.

But, in order to run anything worthy, you'll have to max out Electronics and Engineering. This, assuming you already maxed out Dampening and Range. I GÖú Kittens.

Master Smurf Nos Nothi 111	Posted - 2014.02.17 15:07:00 - [7] - Quote Why devote so much time to maxxing out elec and eng? Also what is your goal? - To be a minja or just to run Minnie Lv1 and have your main suit be Gallente? If you want to be a minja just do that - go to at least Lv3 which gives you an additional 10% NK damage and uses the advanced suit which has more PG unless that is out of the question. I would leave maxxing CPU/PG to last. Get them to 2-3 and then see if you need more. Also remember that with 1.8 comes more resources for the scout suits. On dampening. No need to go past level 3 if you are planning to skill all the way to Scout Lv5. Remember that 1.8 brings the bonus from the start and scanners are being nerfed so dampening for a scout only needs to be level 3 unless you just want to be safe and dodge everything by using multiple complex. Even then the unique options can see you. - There will also be cloak to help with dampening. On Range - I would take that to level 3 and when possible max it out. just my 2c Ask yourself what is your long term goal and plot a path to get you there whilst enhancing your combat effectiveness along the way.

My long term goal is to see people coming long before they see me [range & precision] and have the stamina and speed [regs & kins] to wipe them out.

Rynoceros Rise Of Old Dudes 2575	Posted - 2014.02.17 15:44:00 - [11] - Quote If you wanna run NKs, I'd advise against running with a Shotgun on the same fitting. Use a M209 (Level 4) or at least the M-512A (Level 3) SMG and shove as many Sidearm Damage Mods as you can fit on it. You don't want to be completely outranged at 10m. Run dual SMGs and you basically have a mini-Heavy. I GÖú Kittens.

I prefer that proficiency, got it LVL 4 and i'm getting 39/8 with it, some say it's not a big difference but i just remind them how the kalakiota rail rifle is only 10% more damage than the STD rail rifle. *Assassination is my thing.*

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p TRA1LBLAZERS 652	Posted - 2014.02.17 17:02:00 - [17] - Quote At the very least, you need drop suit engineering up to level 5. Im still going to have to run a basic cloak and a basic SMG and a specialist ADV shotgun with all of the fitting skills maxed because the PG is so tight on a minmitar frame. If you really want to speed tank, go gallente. Ill give you a really good fitting thats better than any minmitar fitting if you do 1x proto extender 1x proto dmage mod 3x proto kincats 1x ADV plate 1x STD cloak 1xProximity active scanner 1xK5 specialist shotgun 1x SMG Kills- Archduke Ferdinand Balance!
Cyrius Li-Moody 0uter.Heaven 3695	Posted - 2014.02.17 17:14:00 - [18] - Quote Contrary to what some say here I completely disagree with speed tanking a gallente. You're better off speed tanking a shield based suit. Why? Because regen. A speed tanked gallente will have about the same HP as a minmatar but about zero regen for it's main tank (armor) while the minnie can comfortably take 200+ points of damage, and if you get away you'll be back to full health in about 10 seconds.
