All the Gallante Suits are competitive. The Logi, heavy and scout are all close to(if not actually are) the best suits in their class. The "worst" suit is the Assault and even then it is in a three way tie with the Caldari and Amarr Assault.
Plasma Cannon is good but only at at least advanced level.
Shotgun is in a really good place.
Scanners are still good (and are going to be very important in 1.8).
The AR is good if your latency and frame rare are good (unless you fight a CR in CQC).
The Ion Pistol is garbage, so much so that CCP is getting rid of the Assault Scrambler Pistol so it doesn't outshine it.
So yeah, Gallante suits are in a really good place right now. Both.the Shotgun and AR are competitive. The Plasma Cannon is good if you have a sidearm and you practice. The only thing weighing us down is the Ion Pistol, which I'm liable to use as a paper weight.

watch how quickly you run your ass back to gallente.
You survive more RR shots per militia plate than you do per complex shield extender.
In addition to having your max shield tank possible on non heavy suits melted in 4 shots by ScRs. With another shot to finish you off. All uncharged.
So yes, please go shield.
Please.
We need more fodder to eat up. Oh my god. Does it always come down to which suit is worst? Can a gall enter suit user ever complain without a Caldari user jumping up our bums? The OP is wrong, about everything about the Gallente Scout. I use it, it's great but only if used properly. You want a bad Gallente suit? Try the Assault. It's hands down the worst Assault suit, stats wise and performance wise and will only be worst in 1.8? Because at least right now, it can be slightly useful at lower tiers. The Minmatar assault is bad now, but will become good after 1.8

Amazing how a guy can make one good point after another, then say come out and something downright ********.
It is in a good place. Honestly I do better with the Shotgun than with most other weapons. I don't know why you dislike it.

Lightning, Fusion, Tranq, Demzor, Marauder and many others defy Mathematics and have managed to make Option A look good. These Scouts have earned my respect. Imagine how bada** they could've been had they opted for Option B. Equal DPS without a 4 meter range restriction.
If you ADS you get like 15m. It's actually pretty fun shooting at people if you ADS. The damage drop is pretty bad but if you get head shots then you can get pretty consistent kills.
I don't know, I just use the Shotgun as if I'm playing COD and I do good.

I can't tell you the last time I tried to ADS with a Shotgun. I'll give it a go next time I'm online. Maybe test it out on Oceania to see if it extends the 4-5 meter optimal. If it works, we'll be in touch.
Fair warning the ADS on the Shotgun is extremely slow, slowest in game actually. As funny as it sounds, you will need to lead your shot before you ADS.
Good luck though, ;)
