Idk if your a scout full time or not but the biggest problem with scouts are versatility , thats the most important thing and basically that's the Amars bonus.

My gallente scout is around 300/400 HP I need all my slots to run fast, have stamina, profile damps, extended range , speed , armor and shields.

Frost kitty runs 87 shields an 277 armor, the amars base stats with all skills maxed will give it 312 ehp without using a single slot, use 2 shields and you will have 602 ehp, and still have 4 lows and 2 equip to fit= BEAST!

I don't care what anyone says this scouts gonna be a monster, your gonna have so many options once your core skills are maxed and weapon optimization is maxed its gonna be unreal, it's gonna have 1000 HP, beat scanners and cloak and not have to stop and catch breath.

Anyone that isn't happy with it isn't a full time scout since beta, those that are see it's monster potential .

Yeah, lets ignore being tougher in an environment that will have TTK increased meaning you can drag all those other scouts into a back alley and do horrible things to them
I cant for the life of me remember the base EHP stats of the suits and Im not at home and dont want to hunt them down but doesnt the amarr scout have more base EHP than some mid suits

No. And for one thing you cannot argue that our natural racial attributes and something that is something we should have to barter with.

We are already the slowest scout which in terms of scouts directly affects and lowers our TTK.

I honestly can't really find one.

Yes I know at this point I'm beating a dead horse, but in all honesty the Amarr scout bonus truly feels like an injustice from CCP. The CPU and PG values do not vary that widely between the scouts so the "Amarr has more fitting ability" argument does not work here. The Caladari get a precision enhancement and I believe range bonus. The Gallente get profile dampening. Thanks to not decloaking when hacking, the Minmatar hacking bonus is now HUGELY advantageous. Meanwhile, the Amarr scout can sprint for a really long time......yeah.....lame.

I know I know, some of you are like "HEY you can cover more ground!" In short, not really. The faster scouts can cover ground faster, regen their stamina, and set off again, whereas the Amarr scout will simply be able to cover that ground all in one go, the amount of ground covered really turns out to be around the same distance.

Is there no DEV at all at Shanghai that read through these bonuses and scratched their head at the Amarr one? Yes, I know that in the Amarr ASSAULT description it says that the suit is grafted into their nervous system to tap into their life essence to increase stamina and power some functions of the suit, but why assume that since the Amarr ASSAULT does that, so should the scout? It comes off as lazy "oh the Amarr Assault has a lot of stamina, let's just make the Scout have even more!"

I will still use the Amarr Scout (it is Amarrian after all), but I am grossly disappointed in the apparent lack of thought and creativity that went into the Amarr Scout bonus.

Having the constant sprint speed built in means you can equip other mods rather than biotics. You can actually put on more defense or offense. That sounds like Amarr to me. The stamina thing is helping you be more Amarr than copping out like the other suits have to for stamina.

Not to say that the bonus on it's own is in fact good enough but anyone trying to say other scouts will cover even nearly the same ground in the same time is plain wrong. Those few seconds running 2m/s slower loses a whole lot of distance to someone still sprinting full pace. Not having to wait for your stamina to recharge means you'll beat every other suit to any distance beyond their first recharge by a considerable margin.

Personally I would have given the range amplification bonus as a role bonus, rather than racial for just the gal and cal (I'm gal scout btw) and I think that would have made the racial bonuses more equal across all scouts.

looks to be a good shotgun frame to honest at a glance.

An excellent Shotgun fit.
Also, great slot layout. Lows = Versatility.

Stamina is Huge.
In my experience, Scouts tend to agree on this.

Amarr scout can get over 100 stamina with mods.

If that's not amazing I don't know what is. You could literally sprint around the entire map maybe without even having to stop sprinting.

If only you could do this at 20 m/s

Not to mention that back of the head design. I snickered. (Solitar, that cracked me up) I got a new nickname for the amarr scout...

Edit: meant to say 1000 lol

Why is that amazing?

That's like giving Railgun turrets a 1000% boost to direct hits on dropsuits.
Sure it's a big number, but it doesn't make the slightest difference to gameplay.

Anyone who finds a use for that much stamina is either genius or a moron.

It's base HP leaves it with 312 stock HP , two shields, 602 HP , and 4 lows to run complex kinetics, damps, an a pg or CPU to level you out, with no need to run stamina or armor or damps if you fit a cloak, it leaves many options
