Call them assaults, and remove the current assault suits. Problem solved.

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.
Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work.

Light assult would be a better fit but really its just nitpicking it has no real impact given a scout suit could scout if we had anything worth scouting out but alas scouts have no scout style gameplay objectives

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.

If we go by D&D
Scout - rogue or bard
Logi - cleric or favored soul
Sentinel - barbarian
Assault - fighter
Commando - Monk
And I say or bard because the secondary support unit they'll be able to play in 1.8 with two EQ slots

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... |
