I think that if you are skilled to level 5 in gal scout and profile dampening you don't have to bother with dampeners period

I have a feeling most Cal Scouts will be running atleast one Complex Precision Enhancer which will be enough to pick up a Lvl 5 Gal Scout with Lvl 5 Dampening.

A Gal Logi with a Proto Scanner can pick you up too, but you probably won't have to worry about that as much.

Fake scouts everywhere! anyways fit some damps and shield extenders.

EDIT: If you're new here, i recommend not going in a suit that is going to die easily, the scout has very little health and i really hope you do not tank armor due to loss of speed and slots. Advice from the dust community.... can't say that's going to help...

True, shield extenders are VERY important. I use my armor as a backup for if I'm in CQC or if I'm facing a proto stomper. The use the dampeners for ranged warefare because if your opponent is in a squad (which is really likely), they will probably coordinate a strategic attack on you so yeah...slap on a basic armor plate and a basic profile dampener if you use the rail rifle/laser rifle, use basic plates if you use the assault rifle/combat rifle, and use enhanced kin cats if you use the shotgun (don't stack them because it seems like the hit detection gets worse the faster you run).

I recommend join these channels for best advice:

1.) Scouts United
2.) Ways of Scouting (R0N1N channel)

If you want a deeper sense of Scouting your more then welcome to join, R0N1N where we will actually sit down with you to ensure that your carving yourself in the appropriate path for your play-style.

I am glad you agree, but even a complex ferroscale armor plate wouldn't hurt your speed.

I thought people said that they weren't worth the fitting cost?

I guess it all depends on how many Cal scouts are out there and how stealthy one wants to be. But I might ditch my range amp for a dampener of that is the case

DON'T USE FRAMES! They're more expensive and don't get bonuses. Use other gear such as the militia one until you get Scout G-1.

In my opinion, the G/1 - Series aren't worth the extra isk unless you don't have skills in electronics, engineering, core, or anything that takes away fitting requirements. It's like 7k more isk and you only get 1 more high slot with slightly better CPU and PG.

I use my advanced to snipe, and use remotes with the KR-17 Breach Shotgun that I keep getting from salvage.

Advanced is used for when you want more damage output in my opinion.

The proto takes A LOT of SP, but it will be worth it in the end. I saved up for like 2 or 3 weeks to go from 4 to 5. The fitting is also awesome.

I suggest you run a few Gallente FW matches and save up some LP to buy a few suits to try them out cheaply. Gallente almost never loses so you can relax. You, also, get good scout modules from there such as the Federation Kinetic Catalyzers and the Federation Code Breakers. I forgot if they have dampners or not, but you have the skills to use them and they're pretty cheap anyways.
