I have various fits off course but lets focus on a more "assault fitted suit".
So I get 160 shields 470 armor with a 6.25 passive rep, and an Allotek hive to get that armor back when I'm in a tight spot. Its fast, semi stealthy and wields proto weapons.
Yes its obviously not a dual tanked logi fit with 1000 HP but it works very well, I've had many solid games with it, several with 30+ kills and 1-3 deaths. I also suppose the dampened speed tanked shotty fit I have is a great one with a little skillpoints invested in the shotty and a little time invested in playing that particular role.
Even though the shields are only 160, they still come back extremely fast. I often take 500 points of damage, go to cover, toss down an allotek hive and I'm ready to go.I've also noticed that people hit me way less in this suit. I've gone up against several tanky protosuits front to front and won cause they simply can't track my strafeing.
So I ask you, (mostly too) proud scouts of this community, Whats with all the QQ?
I've seen thread after thread from scouts claiming their suits, indeed their entire role is UP.
What exactly is or soon to be "was" the big deal about scout suits being UP? I don't get it.....
You kinda said it all youself...
I underlined the most imporant part.
You seemed to have ignored it when you created your brick tanked assault scout that you have admitted isn't as good as your other options when pursuing such things. You may not have noticed that the scout requires a lot more SP to make viable than other options.
Or are you saying 'wow all this scouts being UP stuff was nonsense - if only I'd known sooner, otherwise I soooo wouldn't have gone proto logi - what a shame, I would have spent the past several months proving scouts aren't UP - by playing them instead of my other suits, now I only have a few days to prove the QQers wrong...'
PS I don't know about you, but I do much better in my scout when backed up by high SP proto stomp Squad.

Off course it isn't better at assaulting than the assault suits are.... doh.
I'm merely stating that they're surprisngly good at the job, when properly fitted.
No I wouldn't have specced scout regardless, I like to have more than 1 equipment slot....
And don't get me wrong here, I do look foreward to the 1.8 change, I'll finally get back to my true role, the scout. I used scout suits for 3 of the 4 beta builds and it was merely the removal of that second equiment slot for proto suits that made me switch to logi suits, I wanna do a little more than shoot people and restock my ammo...
My point is more of the line of: "yes the light frames are weaker, but they're far from as useless as many of the forum scout QQers have presented them as." Many of you have been acting like its as useless as contact nades....
I didn't say it was the most SP intensive for that reason - my point was,'a newbro scout is gonna have a much harder time getting a scout to scout than an assault to assault or sentinel to...sentinel. As a logi you will have things like fitting skills maxed I assume, and you have spare SP to put into the three electronics skills and hacking. An assault or sentinel doesn't need those things to be useful in its role.
The current scout is pretty much outperformed by other suits at most things - before I started dropping points in DS command I seriously considered min-logi, but I had faith CCP would make things right (only took 7months for me...longer for others).
So I call a frame that can be generally outperformed in it's role by another frame and mediocre at performing the role of other frames as UP.
It's like using the AR over RR/CR.
These are things scouts have QQed over - no dedicated scout has said the scout is useless and not worth using. A little bit like tanks before 1.7.

Scout Conclusion:
Mobility, Dampening, and passive scans is a great substitute to a low HP based suit. Therefore, this myth that scouting is hardmode is just simply an excuse for bad players and their bad performances.
So scouts have an equal presence in PC as much as any other frame?
