I'm off for a short nap and come back to all of this.

- To the dude with the vid challenge: I'll do a solo play with med suit and a pair of basic pistols, I don't have any nova skills and I don't think using a bran new and very different weapon is a good test of a suits capabilities anyway.

- I started at launch with a proto caldari logi and a maxed out AR and halfways maxed out core skills. For me to use it and make any sort of viable oppinion about it I have to use a proto suit. I can't simply run a dragonfly and compare it to my 900 HP PC Callogi fit....lets be real here.

- All you babies claiming I should use the suit this or that way, you're all morons. I tested various setups, I used one very much which had a proto scanner, a dampener and about 300 armor. Great fun with the added challenge of running out of ammo and relying on my basic scrambler, I got 6 kills one time before running out of that ammo too, mellee didn't go so well......

- I've had tons of fun on a lighter (2 basic plates) version wich can fit a freedom mass driver and proto flux nades while being dampened. Yes very situational but I had some very amusing moments sneaking up on groups of triage-hive camping slowsies.

- I used the "assault setup" just to illustrate that you can get 630 HP and a Godly Allotek hive on it, even with a proto weapon. It was a way for me to test the suit in the role its NOT supposed to be good at, straight up attack, assaulting is a word that comes to mind. I'm no great snaky ninja with Master RE tossing skills, I'm merely a grunt who drags along some equipment while I try and smite all the reds on my way to the objective. I can only imagine how good a scout suit works with those deadly knives or 1-2 shot for a kill shottys, in a more stealthy, much faster "classic scout" sort of way.

- And the winner goes to however said something about me standing around in the outskirts with long range weapons. LOL

LOL Look I know there's a lot of jerks on the forums and ya I can be one and mostly because I'm a scout, I'm always gonna be a scout and I even took all the sp I been saving and tried the cal logi an assault and honestly I do better in a adv scout with knives, shotty, or remotes cuz it's my play style and I have a fit similar to yours but the difference is I only use a brick tanked suit when I have to, I get a better feeling about my game if I get a top score in the weakest suit. You gotta remember your using a scout after you have a ton of sp, proto weapons, hives exetera, plus your in a good corp which means your a good player, plus you gotta remember until the combat rifle came out scouts frowned upon rifle scouts An viewed then as the biggest scrubs in the but after realizing the dps value we actually stood a chance against everyone else and with minja scouts never being able to beat proto scans we had to, but we always biotic tanked to flee. But now the games changing and we kno these FTOM fits are gonna get our suits NERFED back to what we fought a year to escape from. Hope that explains it Dead trigger master , an ya I do that ISH ON PURPOSE!
