Haha did you just try and compare real world military practices with a video game set 20,000 years in the future in a sci-fi universe?

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. I want to see something different than what I'm seeing with the light, medium ,heavy, and commando alts I'm using now. Grinding has become boring. I need something interesting to do.
Well, let's see...they will be/have:
Fastest infantry unit Invisible electronically Almost invisible visually 2 equipment slots Light weapon & side arm slots

Quote:To me, the Scout role has always been about creating a disruptive force on the battlefield. HeGÇÖs the guy that can cover enough ground quickly enough to get drop uplinks into the right places (that is, if everyone didnGÇÖt carry one, but more on that later), hack objectives back, disperse squad members (nothing makes people scatter faster than a KC-amped shotgunner) and generally make a nuisance of himself. http://dust514.com/news/blog/2013/12/interview-with-ccp-remnant/
Scouts are already doing this, 1.8 will allow them to do it much more efficiently.
What other suit, bar logi, has 2 equipment slots? Which can avoid adv scanners with no modules? Which can fit cloaks and still be functional?
I used to think that logis where the most diverse/fun/interesting role able to facilitate victory on the battlefield without having to be a pew pew man like the rest...scouts are about to take that crown in my mind.

I can't wait for my min scout to:
do 1000 damage in an instant (mmm charged proto NK swipe!...hope my math is right!) hack 60% quicker (25% role bonus, 10% min scout bonus, 25% hack skill) avoid adv scanners without mods (35 scan profile) cloak without gimping whole fitting (75% reduced PG CPU cost) have TWO equipment slots - this is huge AND have light and side arm
Go on about how the scout can't uniquely excel at its role compared to other suits. Post a video of you doing all of the above in another suit and I'll give you 50,000,000 ISK.

Post a video of you doing all of the above in another suit and I'll give you 50,000,000 ISK. good news, the data shows that all scouts have a 5% hacking bonus built in, with the minmatar scout having an extra 10% built into the suit in addition tot he other skills :P
Hehe . Speed hacking NEVER gets old for me so I was delighted to learn this. I think min scout will be my fav suit/role in the whole game...all of my fav things bundled into a badass Matari frame. *drool & swoon*

Well, since you can't do any of the above with your SCOUT SUIT (haha) that just doesn't make any sense in the context of this discussion. Waiting on these updates, LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL How long have you been waiting? I stand by my statement that there's nothing a scout suit can do that I can't do with a sentinel, commando, or even mly heavy. I can even put your silly little knives on my suit. But you can't put my HMG on yours. I win.
Perhaps you should have indicated in your OP that you were talking specifically about pre 1.8 scouts. When 1.8 hits I'll have proven you 100% wrong with what I said though so enjoy being 'right' for another two weeks or so. Feel better?
