Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1601	Posted - 2014.03.10 11:29:00 - [31] - Quote Call them assaults, and remove the current assault suits. Problem solved. Drop it like its hat.
Monkey MAC Rough Riders.. 2175	Posted - 2014.03.10 11:32:00 - [32] - Quote Its just a name as far as Im concerned. If we think about the suits as classes in an RPG Sentinel - Big Tank Bigger Weapon Logistics - Support/Healer Commando - Jack of all Trades/ Damage dealer Assault - **** Scout - Ninja Stabby Stabby In which case the name fits rather well.

Thoughts? Currently scouts have one of two roles they are either light Assaults/skirmishers or some sort of commando unit and none of these roles get represented by skills. Even upcoming bonus to cloaks gets more in the light Assault/commando corner the into the scout corner... To perform as a scout they need a lot of love. First they need shared team view: what the scout sees should be visible for the squad/team. Secondly they need scan assist points for passive scanning Thirdly they need way better scan range and precision to work as scout And maybe they need some sort of special ability like mark an area for orbitals to speed up the orbital strike or something like this.... New Passive Equipment: Communications Array/Suite Any friendly unit within the Comms Array radius recieves shared team vision New Active Equipment: Laser Designator Once activated you can send a request for Transport, Vehicle Support, or Orbital Support to your teams commander, who will then do with it as he sees fit.

Well new modules/equipment would work as well but remember those could be used by any suit, so without buffing those modules /equipment on scouts that would not create a role for the suit, you could of course make those scout exclusive but I doubt CCP plans the introduction of more exclusive gear...
