Caldari Scout - It can see you, period. You can't sneak up on it because it can see you. You think you may be unseen when cloaked, but nope, it can still see you (passively). It is quick, nimble, and agile, and it sees all.

Gallente Scout - It can't be seen. This is the suit that lurks in the space between space. The suit that incites fear in those hacking objectives that they "think" is clear. Your body will hit the ground before you even hear the POING of its Creodron Shotgun.

Minmatar Scout - The suit that will hack the objective faster than you can blink. The real pain in the ass scout that will cancel your hack or hack the point before you can do anything about it. Like the Gallente, this scout is also feared as it may be lurking in the aether guarding that objective that you believe is clear.

Amarr Scout - The scout that looks the sexiest at prototype level........um.........wait..........that's it.

As you can see, every other scout has a strength, something that makes it feared on the battlefield per se. The Amarr Scout literally has NOTHING about it that is a strength or makes it feared. Yes it has the ability to tank and become Amarr Assault part dos, but that completely negates the fact of being a scout.

All the other scouts are faster, more agile, and can even outrun the Amarr Scout distance wise (yes I tested this) even with its stamina bonuses. The Amarr Scout has no role on the battlefield besides being a suit for we Amarrian RP'ers. I hate to accuse CCP of this, but the Amarr Scout truly and honestly feels like a suit that was thrown in the game to shut me and other Amarr loyalists up from complaining about the fact it wasn't in the game.

Anyone with half a mind could see on paper prior to 1.8 that the Amarr Scout was complete s***. We all brought this up in constructive threads, but they all went ignored and unanswered. I figured I would wait until 1.8 to actually EXPERIENCE the Amarr Scout and its use. The verdict is it is under-powered because it has not STRENGTH, there is absolutely nothing about the Amarr Scout that makes it shine besides its golden plates at ADV tier.

I mean hey, if you want an award for making a suit look like Nightwing from DC Comics, congratulations, you did a pretty fine job. As far as making a viable suit that is an equal to other scout suits and has a strength, I'm sorry CCP, but you missed the mark.

Please don't tell me you think the Min Scout is a viable option. It is the worst scout, it's not even close. If you want to argue that its somehow better than Amarr at adv or Proto idk what to say.

Amarr scouts are currently doing very well with eHP + cloak. Just don't tell me you want to Amarr to excel at the Gal niche again, please. Don't give me the BS that its better than Min scout, but it could use a paint job.

Say that when i run doable your speed, speed hacking all objectives and wile your counter hacking, insta kill ya with a swipe from my NOVA Knifes
