This.

But I agree most play the scout to offensive. Because most play alone and wanna earn WP to get SP. When I-¦m in a squad my main purpose is placing uplinks, hack uncovered objectives and kill sniper/scouts. I do see that this can be a description of the scout in this game. But, just my 2c.

So, you use your scout as a logi? IS there anything you can do that another class can't? Everything you described I do with a commando.

I'm just trying to figure if scouts even have a purpose. If anyone can do what they do, then I'd say they don't.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, just because a commando can drop uplinks, hack points and kill snipers doesn't mean its the best for the job.
Otherwise we would only have 2 basic suits a heavy and a medium because between they can do every job EVER.

It like telling my Minmatar Flanking suit is terrible because the Jobs I do with it can be done with any other suit. Which they can, but when your squad is pinned down I would much rather have a fast moderately dampned minmatar to say a lumbering brick tanked amarr as my flanker. But that doesn't mean someone else can play amarr as flanker it just doesn't suit MY style, it's not wrong but to me its not right either.

We really only have 3 suits now, heavy, logi, and assault.

I have seen what real scouts do on a battlefield, and the wanna-be "scouts" in New Eden are no where close. Your mission is to get in a squad and find enemies for your squad. Your squad comes and kills the enemies while you slip away to find more enemies for your squad. It's so simple, yet, pretty much all scouts in this game get it wrong. This is easy to understand because CCP also doesn't understand what a scout's role is. Scouts are not ninjas. They do not carry weapons like Nova Knives. I personally find NK scouts offensive to my former professsion. Scouts are not CQCers. If you are engaging the enemy yourself, it's because you screwed up and they saw you. Scout's main weapons should be their laser designator. Oh, that's right, CCP didn't include that mechanic, which is basically the ONE THING A SCOUT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. Why the F did you even include scouts at all?!? God you guys suck at making video games. DUST 514 Super Scrub Level 262 Forum Troll Play, or play not. There is no balance.

That thing I have fit on pretty much every one of my combat logis, and a number of my assaults? No, it works like this. You point it at a target, the target shows up on the minimap of all your squad, and whoever is in a missle battery or whatever can lock on to your signal and shoot the enemy from miles away. It's awesome. We'd crawl through the sand, pop up over a dune, lase a T72, and BOOM the Apache pilot two miles away hits him with a Hellfire. Like I said, awesome. Scouts in DUST need to be able to do this. Having them running around like Power Rangers like they do now is foolish. DUST 514 Super Scrub Level 262 Forum Troll Play, or play not.

You see, laser designators were supposed to make it into the game. But they didn't. Why? It would be too easy to blow up AUR vehicles. This game only exists to sell AUR, so anything that could hurt sales will never make the cut. But, rather than scrap scouts all together even they don't have an actual, specific only to them role, CCP kept them in anyway. I mean, even -snipers- have a role in this game, i.e. shoot RR users.

No, I'm pointing out a mechanic we were promised and will never see, without which an entire class has no purpose. Scouts can't do anything that another class can't already do. I'm trying to see if anybody can tell me what the advantage to being a DUST scout is, if there is one. Not an Easy Button, but something they can do that would com[pletely change my game experience and warrant specifically going 'scout' with an alt.

If you want to be a guy in a scout suit running round with active scanner and using squad commands like a laser designator that is your perogative. If the guy next to you wants to be a damn power ranger then he can be. There are no set "roles" if you want to play heavy you play it how you want, you do that, give him a laser rifle and watch in glee as people run from your long ramge weapon, you wanna be a mad bomber with a logistics suit be my guest, you wanna be some kind of chuck norris beating people to death fine by me.

They are defined by the people who make this game, and its based on space man technology, far in the future, where scouts have knives, and do what the **** we want..... Why do people always feel the need to put their b u l l s h I t on how we are supposed to utilize our suits, why the he ll does it matter what I do with my suit? When the day comes that the insufferable amount of bitching from this player base leads to hard roles being defined by ccp to the point that we cant create the custom fits that are really at the heart of why this game is still bad ass, on that day dust will die..... Our ability to have the freedom to make suit choices both good and bad are 1of the top 3 reasons I play dust.... The game makers can define the suit role, but how you implement that role and to what end is our choice. No one here should be telling others how to use a suit or gun, thats why logis are being nerfed, and yet we will always slay because when you spawn in your gun is in your hand, not, your rep tool.... Heavies will continue to use rr, because they can, and scouts will continue to cut your efing head off because its fun and cool and difficult.... Dont define my roll, know your own, slow it down, and get good with it.
