Smooth Assassin Stardust Incorporation IMMORTAL REGIME 927	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:28:00 - [1] - Quote So... i've been thinking to skill into minmatar since they're gonna get that 0.01 more speed than gallante in 1.8 and now that cloak is coming, that dampening will clearly be useless. Even if i put 2 shields and 4 kinetics i'd be less efficient... but the one thing i can't stand from minmatar is that physical appearance.... *Assassination is my thing.*

Unless you're planning on running knives regularly the gallante is the more versatile scout. Even with the cloak the dampening bonus is extremely useful, and the increased scan range along with the base range buff will be godly. Stack a kin cat, cardio, precision enhancer and plate in low, with a shield and range enhancer in high and you'll be set. The mini wins out on base speed and hacking, and losses out substantially in visibility, survivability and longevity. That said, I'll still be running the Mini scout, but that's due to race loyalty a much as anything else. Knowledge is power

Ghost Kaisar Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 3080	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:52:00 - [6] - Quote The min scout will be more efficient with their speed modules, and their hack speed will definitely come in handy. I still see the Gal Scout being a tougher, more "lasting" scout behind enemy lines (Due to inherent regen and more eHP due to armor), and the Min Scout being a "Get in quick, take em down, hack and GTFO" Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face. Minmatar. In Rust we trust.
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 11143	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:56:00 - [7] - Quote Dampening will always be useful considering that cloaks do not hide you from scanners, and the added scanning range on the Gallente suit is actually sex.

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p TRA1LBLAZERS 690	Posted - 2014.02.19 03:30:00 - [8] - Quote the biggest problem with minmitar is that it can't fit enough modules to be faster, have more EHP, and fit a cloak, due to pg constraints and a ludicrous pg cost on extenders. Withmax skills, the minmitar scout will only have 80 pg, with 3x complex extenders in the highs thats brought down to 47, with 2x kin cats thats brought down to 17, probably gonna fit a dampener because proto scanners will become much more prevalent, a basic cloak is 9pg at max skills, so now your only left with 8 pg to fit 1 eq, 1 sidearm, and 1 light weapon. 1 ishukone nova knives takes 8 pg. Gallente, on the other hand has 96 pg with maxed out skills, can fit 3 kin cats to be faster than the aforementioned ninja fit, and has innate profile dampening, so it still has one more slot where it can fit an ADV plate and still be faster than a minmitar scout with 2x kin cats. (unless minmitar scouts are getting an inherent speed buff). Now, the gallente scout can fit a complex damage mod and a complex shield extender, putting the remaining pg at 96-((15*3)+5+11+9)=26 pg remaining. Now, they can fit a cloak and have 17 pg remaining for 1 eq, 1 SA, and 1 light, which is plenty. And, you have 3 hp/s for armor, are faster than a double kincatted minmitar, have more EHP, and more passive scan. Weapon+equipment combos could be- proxy scanner, k5 shotgun, and a SMG Kills- Archduke Ferdinand Balance!

Scan dampening will never be useless, you will be able to hide during your cloaks cool down where other scouts cannot.

You do realise every time you break cloak you have to wait 30 sec or more to cloak again don you? Doesn't matter. The only thing proto has is yeah more modules, but the ability to hide from proto scanners. Other scouts can achieve the same results with one module since all scouts have an innate immunity to advanced scanners. The passive scanners are the only thing going for us, really. Minmatar get the cool hack bonus AND keep the knife bonus AND slightly more speed. On top of that, they can stack the hack skill to be even faster while we can't. We'll need a complex module to compete with their hack speed at passive. I'm not complaining though since that's the way it should be. I like Gallente scouts and the passive rep and dampning can help lots. I'm fine with level 3 passive hacking.

I'd say pick what suits you best for your first suit or if ur new to scouts ( not u but anyone) go gallente or amar cuz chances are med framers are gonna pick a light assault style suit. I hear ya minja suck in fiting but once you max all cores and optimization you'll fit np except knives, it's Bs that they have no optimization skill an their paired with a suit that needs all it can get, so......

For everything else, use a gallente, unless you're a nasty ninja knifer Kills- Archduke Ferdinand Balance!

Cotsy8 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 8	Posted - 2014.02.19 04:09:00 - [21] - Quote If Amar bonus goes from 5% stamina and stamina regen to 10% per level it would be on par with Cal and Gal. Cal will benefit greatly from scanning while Gal dam bonus will help it run either armor or pg or even get more passive armor reps. As much as people say how good Gal are, if they choose not to run a Dampener it seems the Cal might be on par with Amar being right behind it and possibly ahead of both if their racial bonus goes to 10%. Min doesn't work, its PG is too low to run a cape effectively and therefore I wouldn't even consider it. Here are the calculations I've done.

I personally think that proxy scanners in 1.8 will be a big thing, and as they are proto level, minmitar will need at least 1 damper to dodge them at all times, while gallente doesn't.

You do realise every time you break cloak you have to wait 30 sec or more to cloak again don you? Doesn't matter. The only thing proto has is yeah more modules, but the ability to hide from proto scanners. Other scouts can achieve the same results with one module since all scouts have an innate immunity to advanced scanners. The passive scanners are the only thing going for us, really. Minmatar get the cool hack bonus AND keep the knife bonus AND slightly more speed. On top of that, they can stack the hack skill to be even faster while we can't. We'll need a complex module to compete with their hack speed at passive. I'm not complaining though since that's the way it should be. I like Gallente scouts and the passive rep and dampning can help lots. I'm fine with level 3 passive hacking. ARe you complaining that minmitar will be better than gallente? LOL read my second post on this thread, it explains everything. Minmitar literally can't fit things to make them better than gallente No, I'm not complaining. I've wrote that I'm not... Im saying since the scanners are getting their fix, I don't think they're going to be used much anymore, so dampning bonus might be useless compared to every other bonus. I like the scan range, but the the Caldari have it too. It might just be that the grass is always greener on the other side, but whatever. I, also, suggest you really finish reading posts before posting comments that might make you look dumb (even though I respect your opinions and actually agree with your post as well). sorry i didn't read your entire post, you're right, i didn't. I personally think that proxy scanners in 1.8 will be a big thing, and as they are proto level, minmitar will need at least 1 damper to dodge them at all times, while gallente doesn't. This effectively gives gallente 4 low slots, and minmitar 2. Add the shield and armor disparity, and you have an even greater problem.

That's what I'll be doing with it anyway. I see it as more of a utility scout...I mean it's the only one to have a non combat related bonus but no one seems to twig onto this...it's all wahh wahh QQ Min scout sucks, has less eHP etc etc. I can't wait for the new bonus and I'll have no issues doing what I already do now...just with 25% faster hacking and cloak.

Yan Darn Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 237	Posted - 2014.02.19 07:29:00 - [28] - Quote The hack and NK bonuses will give min scouts an advantage solo defending points/CRUs - you can use the letter to bait reds (I'm sure many do this already) then they are perfectly set up for stabbing - and if they managed to hack whatever it is, you can counter hack with little trouble. I'll still prefer using gal-scout for the radar and the for versatile lows for different fits. I have been saying myself for a while however that damp bonuses are going to be less important - scanners will be used less because they are less crutch and more tactical. Even med frames will stand a good chance when flanking now, if they are smart and stay away for the pack. The relative proxy scanner use will shoot up for sure though. You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.

Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 668	Posted - 2014.02.19 10:19:00 - [32] - Quote Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p wrote: the biggest problem with minmitar is that it can't fit enough modules to be faster, have more EHP, and fit a cloak, due to pg constraints and a ludicrous pg cost on extenders. Withmax skills, the minmitar scout will only have 80 pg, with 3x complex extenders in the highs thats brought down to 47, with 2x kin cats thats brought down to 17, probably gonna fit a dampener because proto scanners will become much more prevalent, a basic cloak is 9pg at max skills, so now your only left with 8 pg to fit 1 eq, 1 sidearm, and 1 light weapon. 1 ishukone nova knives takes 8 pg. Gallente, on the other hand has 96 pg with maxed out skills, can fit 3 kin cats to be faster than the aforementioned ninja fit, and has innate profile dampening, so it still has one more slot where it can fit an ADV plate and still be faster than a minmitar scout with 2x kin cats. (unless minmitar scouts are getting an inherent speed buff). Now, the gallente scout can fit a complex damage mod and a complex shield extender, putting the remaining pg at 96-((15*3)+5+11+9)=26 pg remaining. Now, they can fit a cloak and have 17 pg remaining for 1 eq, 1 SA, and 1 light, which is plenty. And, you have 3 hp/s for armor, are faster than a double kincatted minmitar, have more EHP, and more passive scan. Weapon+equipment combos could be- proxy scanner, k5 shotgun, and a SMG If you are going to run your Minja with only Extenders you're going to screw yourself, those things are expensive and as you say you're PG hungry. Though you get to 81 PG, it does round up. Plus running a Gal with 3 Kin Cats does make it Sprint faster than a dual kin cat minja by about 0.7 m/s. However, if the Gal equips an Adv or higher plate the Minnie wins. The Minnie will always win in base speed (kin cats only affect sprint) and thus always strafes faster. Plus the Minnie has more stamina and stamina regen. In very few scenarios will Gals ever outrun a Minnie. If a Gal is trying to outrun a Minnie he's probably going to have less Ehp. Minnies are going to be the ultimate speedsters who excel at capturing and defending points. They are going to tough to fit, much less variability than the Gal, but still have a place.

You do realise every time you break cloak you have to wait 30 sec or more to cloak again don you? Not sure if this is correct. Thought it was explained that the cloak meter worked similar to stamina - So if you disengage but hadnt depleted it you could re-engage for the remaining duration. But your point still stands about being dampened even when uncloaked though the change in scanners will make it easier to move whether cloaked or not. "Shine bright like a diamond"

You can try to get the sneak on him, but he'll have had months of experience if he's an old minnie scout of being the hidden knifer, this will be you only hope but if he runs off theres **** all you can do. For me the minimitar was always the hunter assassin, the Nova's are a piece of art. Proto'd to full skills they can one shot anything. Nothing has resistance to them, so 100% damage 24/7. Whats yours is now mine too, loving the hack bonus. Listen well for my charge, PEKABOO, BEHIND YOU

I've been really torn between going Caldari for situational awareness, Gallente for Stealth or Minmatar for speed and versatility (thinking proto slot layout). I have to say that the Minmatar has something no other suit can match: Base movement speed. Strafing is so key... Other things: Nova knife damage is boss. So is hacking speed (25% plus extra 5% from the base suit status), plus a bit more base stam and regen. My conclusion: **** it, I'm tired of thinking about it. I'll flip a damn coin. Or I'll go Gallente since I have the dragonfly. I do believe profile dampening will continue to be useful. Even without a cloak I don't plan on being picked up by proto Gal Logis w/ proto scanners or by highly precisioned Caldari's.... Eventually I'll take a page out of Appia's book and just get 'em all. Maybe I'll go Amarr first just for hard mode (not using cloak, sticking with Batman tactics) and to be less common on the field. Keep my skill game up, hmmm...
GREEN DEATH21 Subsonic Synthesis RISE of LEGION 15	Posted - 2014.02.25 01:09:00 - [62] - Quote Honestly, I Don't think I need to worry about scans considering "Most" logistics personnel are going to drift over to the Minmatar logistics because of that bonus to repair tools. The logistics who do switch to Minmatar would be "True" Logi bros and less killer logi blood, so all I really have to worry about is that pesky Gallente killer logi with prototype quantum scanners. Anything else, I can usually kill with my Isukones in a quick 1-2 swipe, and they don't even see it coming!

If you don't NK though, you lose one of those bonuses. You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.

Scan dampening will never be useless, you will be able to hide during your cloaks cool down where other scouts cannot. You do realise every time you break cloak you have to wait 30 sec or more to cloak again don you?[/quote] Link to proof? 20 for the standard cloak....I honestly think that the most CPU/PG & Cloaking w/Cooldown efficient cloak is the advanced cloak. It gets 1 min of cloaking with not as much CPU /PG incrase and the ration of cloaking:cooldown is 2:1, where the basic is 3:2, and the proto is just way too much CPU/PG to fit on unless you can but you do get 90 seconds. IMO the Advanced cloak is the way to go. "One does not simply" look for a scout, it looks for you.

Unless you're planning on running knives regularly the gallante is the more versatile scout. Even with the cloak the dampening bonus is extremely useful, and the increased scan range along with the base range buff will be godly. Stack a kin cat, cardio, precision enhancer and plate in low, with a shield and range enhancer in high and you'll be set. The mini wins out on base speed and hacking, and losses out substantially in visibility, survivability and longevity. That said, I'll still be running the Mini scout, but that's due to race loyalty a much as anything else. The only reason the gallente scouts seems to be more versatile is because we currently have way more useful low slot modules. Solely by its design the minmatar is the most flexible scout suit 3 H and 3 L is fantastic and allows the most flexible layouts. Now the additional speed and stamina paired with good shield skills and fantastic suit boni makes this a very good and versatile suit. I surely would go minmatar IF I could live with its design but...seriously...I can't...
