That is the thread I made after being surprised by how good the Galente Scout suit is since I got the chance to get it due to the murder mayhem weekend event, boring stuff mostly. Many challeneged me to go advanced and use a cqc weapon, shotty or nova knife. Me not having any experience with either of these weapons make it unfair IMO, I went with pistols instead. A very suitable and "sneaky assasin like" cool gun for the role.
A dude told me to get a score of 35-5 with 15 being knife kills but both of those requirements are tossed out off the window, 24-2 with scramblers it is. (Personal best scout+dual scramblers is 42-2, skirmish) I did go in alone but I did have some Burgers on my team. Yes there may indeed be harder scenaros for this setup, though I could easily have fitted a basicCR instead and gotten range aswell. It does however work IMO as a showcase of the playstyle and not least that the Galente medium suit isn't bad at all, this setup cost less than 27 K isk.
I have included the round in its entirety but have speeded up the slow parts so its down to 7.23. I personally hate to see unedited footage, so much dead-time, I don't wanna present it to others.
Galente M1/series 2 proto extenders proto Reactive plate Enhanced Profile Dampener Nanaohive M1 Locus grenades 2x Assault scrambler pistols, (listed as basic but require lvl 2)
- I have scrambler pistol operations to lvl 5 and profficiency lvl 1.
- I'm not saying that 1.8 changes to the scout suits aren't welcome, I just don't understand the massive QQ thats been about their UPness, traditionally speaking.
For me a fun part of this has been the fact that I've only played one single round with this suit, enjoy it:

I'd also like to reccomend my 3 min "Master Chef" montage:

"Yeah if I could be bothered to use a protosuit I'd easily go 30-0, almost every game".
I've heard this or similar so many times now its getting old.
To answer some of the QQ:
- I have never used Nova knifes more than a few minutes the same goes for the shotty, I have no skills in wither of them. Asking me to use these weapons out of the blue without any experience is a little too much to ask for. Scrambler pistols are very Limited in terms of range compare to all the light weapons.
- I did spec into one suit and used the enhanced variant as per request. If you expect me to spend about 1 M SP to spec into a weapon and a suit just to answer a Challenge then you're way off in terms of what any sane person is willing to do.
- I played 9 CBs vs WTF saturday and 2 more vs others daytime sunday. I had sunday afternoon to do this and then we get the respec. I played 1 game, saw that it was good. Yes vs a losing team for sure, I still run around in a fairly competent manner, especially in the beginning and get 7 headshot kills and I do take out a bunch of fatsuits.
- I'm pretty sure I could get a much better score if I played for a week and actually trained a little in that playstyle. My previous record in a scout suit and dual scramblers are 42-2, so I know I can do it.
- It took me 3 hours to edit that vid and thats more than enough time spent on my part to anwer this silly mess.
- I've noticed a trend here, the ones screaming the loudest on the forums, bragging the most, are normally the non-factors that nobody has ever heard off before. Don't be a forum Warrior!
- Requesting me to go 35-5, a very good score for any suit IMO, in a purpusfully gimped out moronic setup, cause "thats what we do", just goes to show how stuck up some of Your guy are. Put up a vid of Your own and I'll come here and tell you what big scrubs you are.....

3 adv sentinel kills 4 std assault kills 1 adv light frame kill 1 adv assault kill 15 mlt kills
The heavy frames didn't even take a shot at you until you unloaded a full clip.
Troll bait? or are you seriously just that conceited that you think stomping down on people that clearly don't even know what they are doing is showing off your skills and how balanced a suit is?
I did acknowlege that this match wasn't the best in terms of solid opposition. My point still stands though, I've used stealthy low HP fittings now for quite some time. My Cal logi Works ok, but personally its way too slow and it doesn't have a sidearm. I can also do it With a caldari Assault but I still think the scout suit is better due to superior speed, putting 2 dampeners on a Caldari Assault don't leave much room for much else.
In a competititive game (not PC) against a good team it all comes Down to the situational nature of such a fitting. In the city maps I'd imagine I do good, lets say a 2 KDR, which is better than most dedicated scouts in games like that. But I won't do good on a vast open map With 2 proto Squads camping With RRs....
Anyways, I'm tired of nitpicking.
I never meant for this to be "proof" of anything. I played 1 game, did fairly good and that was that. But if I can og 24-2 in the first random game I play, and I'm not an especially good player, I can't but Wonder what would happen With this setup in the hands of a player With excellent gungame who also actually have used it for awhile... I know thats not relevant from a balancing perspective but it makes me Wonder...
And another thing, if going 24-2 that round was so easy that anyone could do it, why do I see so many scouts getting so many bad scores in similar games? In my experience most of the games I play in Dust are like this, 3 minutes of fighting and then 10 minutes on the redline. Its just the way of the game. So I can't help but Wonder, if going 24-2 or better vs scrub opponets is so very easy, how is it then that threre are so few scouts With a KDR of 5+? Yes they might get it in the face more often than the med suits but they should have plenty of games vs all the militia scrubs out there, and those games should boost that KDR no?
All in all I am looking foreward to the New scut suits in 1.8. My point still stands though, I think at least the Galente suit is an excellent suit in its current state and many of the QQ threads made by many scouts on these forums appear to me now as WAAAA WAAAA whining by players being to focused on "being scouts" and too little on being soldiers....

However, playing one match against what was obviously an extremely sub-standard team and not even getting close to the huge scores you usually get isn't a great showing. I appreciate you don't have the time to be able to do any more than this but surely you yourself can acknowledge that this is not nearly enough to be considered representative and if anything actually supports our comments that the advanced scout suits are indeed UP.
Surely if one of the top players in the game can only do that well in the suit against a team of utter noobs, that means the suit's sub-par?
LOL @ "the huge scores you usually get" and "one of the top players in the game"
Those two were way off, I have my good and bad days as anybody else but 24-2 is definately a score I'm happy With, on average its way less than that. And no, I'm not one of the top players, I'm merely a logi With a thouch of gungame and tactical understanding. Its mostly that the entire Dust playerbase suck on average, I'm mediocre at best when it comes to FPSs in general.
On everything else I agree.
This wasn't meant to prove anything. For me though, this game tells me that there are a huge potential in this fit. Do remember one thing: I'm not used to this. I'm used to running 700-900 HP With rep hives, a CR, Duvolle or indeed the Amarr Assault Imperial combo. I'm not exactly used to running speedy low HP fits. Just pay attention to how bad I fire the pistols sometimes during that round, give me a week With a fit like this and I'm personally convinced that I could make it work.
Naturally, going up face to face vs a galente logi standing on two triage hives and a proto CR or RR, or a similar stacked situation I don't expect to do very well. Its a scout suit and one shouldn't expect that of it anyways...
+1 For typing in a mature balanced manner. You're here to argue, not to do whatever you can to put me Down, I have enough of those....

A good post indeed. + 1
To be technical: I now use mostly a suit with 160 shields and 349 armor, 377 on some fits.
- Scanners haven't really changed since launch, they just changed the effect on the minimap. I has enhanced scanner from day one and I used it and saw the effect it had on my squadmates. What has changed is the way it has gone from the occational user to being overly used
- Shot gun and nova knife issues are gun issues, not suit issues, but I do see your point.
- Could you elaborate on the "perfect objective scan"? I dunnno what you mean by this.
Anyways, some good points here but my initial point still stands. I am looking foreward to the new suits, I can finally after 2 years spec into "my suit" the one I intended to use from the time of early beta.
What will be exciting is if my long term KDR or indeed general performance will drop from my about 5 KDR and about 4.5 Win/loss ratio, can I keep this up going from a OP/UP caldari logi suit to a low hp scout suit?
- I'll keep 3 m SP in reserve just in case I get owned....

I thought the team shared minimap view got fixed by launch, I'm probably mistaken. In any case, yeah I can definately see that as a major flucking problem for all who tries to sneak about.
Its a long time ago but I remember ending the third beta build with a 2.71 KDR going scout and scrambler pistols. But back then the pistol had 120 M range and a sight much like the old laser sight, just a single blue dot that turned red on enemies, brilliant. I remember some golden moments were I gor sniped and lost 95% of my hp followed by a 180 degree bunnyhop and a quickscoppe headshot kill at 100+ meters, those were the days....

THEN......... I watch the video to see you bust ace with these pistols and.......
LMFAO....
EVERYONE YOU KILLED WAS A NOOB IN MILITIA GEAR OR STD AND THE ONLY HARD SUITS IN THE GAME WAS ONE PRO LOGI ( being a LOGI ) and A ADV CAL ASSAULT AND YOU COOKED A GRENADE TO KILL THEM AND YOUR TEAM HAD EM REDLINED FROM THE START! WHAT NOOB SERVER WERE YOU ON? HAHA MAN GTFOUTTTTA HERE WIT DAT SHYT!
Are you FO REAL!
Go back to your AR core locus LOGI fit bro! is this my old lady, because you sure wine like her. the only people complaining in here are just the whiney azzes who complain constantly. i mean look at this guy crying because the enemy wasn't "good" enough. then he goes on to cry about the setup hes using. these are just elitist azzzholes who hate the fact that kingbabar would/has shredded them many times over, and they are going to cry regardless. tell your mom I said hi kid, and go back down stairs. LOOK KNOB, I challenged him after his arrogant "scouts are fine I got a proto in one day tanked it like a slayer LOGI with 800hp an alloteck hives an went 40/2!" He was challenged to use a minmatar scout not a gallente with shields and biotics and knives and a pistol, not a 500 HPdual brick with two guns that'll drop a heavy in a clip and especially in some red line stomp with a squad! I was honestly rooting for the guy cuz I really thought he could do it, but then I see he posts some insulting dual tanked noob killer video and it's friggen insulting to challenge , have him accept it and change the rules and dorks like you back him up! That wasn't the challenge plain and simple so don't post the video acting like you deserve some pat on the back.
- The Galente scout is fine. Its funny how both Rafa, Extacy, Tosh and many more, you know, good players, continue to dominate with this suit just as they do with their tanked assault and logi suits.
- I have no SP in the Minmatar scout suit and the respec is tomorrow, no time or indeed willingness from me to spend skillpoints into something just to give some random forum warrior his will.
- LOL @ your "with two guns that will drop a heavy in a clip", cause you know, you gotta relaod that shotty several times to take one down, and the NK needs to cool down..... If dual scramblers and a scout suit is in anyway OP then strange that I hardly see anyone using them. Why do most scouts use shottys or NK if the scramblers are so much better? This statement shows me your griefing intentions or severe lack of normal intelligence, it has to be one of the two cause you're not in anyway objective or seems to have thought it through.
- The suit I used had about 450 total HP, I'd hardly cal that "brick tanked".
You say: "after his arrogant "scouts are fine I got a proto in one day tanked it like a slayer LOGI with 800hp an alloteck hives an went 40/2!" - What you say is inaccurate at best. I used a 630 HP suit, and I haven't been close to a 40-2 score, that was an older number, around 30-3 I think is the best in 1.7. And furthermore, I said: For me this suit seems fine the way it is, I've seen QQ for a year and I wonder why, or indeed if it's been legit.
- Some people come with constructive replies like the previous scanning mechanics and the reduction of AA. You come here and spew out some butthurt general BS.
- Just as my vid doesn't really prove anything, (It did atleast give a sense of great potential and that you can easily drop suits with 3 times your HP as long as you flank, play smart and get the drop on people) you setting a goal for me with guns I haven't used, with a suit setup I'd probably never construct myself doesn't really prove anything either. So if I came on here and said, "I've done 10 games and my best was 25-10. Would that somehow prove that the suit is UP? I think not.
- I'd also like to know who your main is, that would be interresting to know. I guess you have more than 2033 kills total in this game? If not, you're hardly a guy that have the experience needed to make your opinion matter.....
- So lets flip this around: You go solo, do whatever sort of groundpounder fit you want. Go in and get a good score and present it too us. I'll be delighted.
