It's simple, scout > assault.

Haha. Funny joke. Unfortunately for you there is a split second window for me to react. And sometimes I kill the scout in that window.

Edit: Let me make this clear. The cloak has its disadvantages. You're spending more time trying to hide from people then you are actually killing people than you were in 1.7 as well as sacrificing some things on your dropsuit for it.

What do you mean by 'sacrificing' some things on your dropsuit for a cloak? As in the equipment slot? Because thats all you have to sacrifice. You can fully proto out a scout suit with or without a cloak with max core skills and weaponry skills. Thus, you are sacrificing nothing and gaining a cloak and still have the one equipment slot to use at your own discretion.

this is true, but only if your a cal/gal/amarr scout. Min scouts didn't get a pg buff, which is what they needed, and therefore have to run advanced mods and weapons on a proto suit to run a basic cloak, which just doesn't seem right

Who kills the pair faster? The one with faster reload (Assault), or tighter hipfire spread (Assault) or better weapon buffs (Assault). 2 players of equal skill, each being shot at by multiple enemies every time they step out of cover. Which one is more likely to survive long enough to get a kill? Scout or Assault (pro-tip: It's not the Scout) There are scenarios where a Scout is a better option. There are scenarios where an Assault is a better option. Being good at playing to your suit's strengths is only part of what makes a good player. Understanding and avoiding your weaknesses is also important, and so is understanding your ENEMY'S strengths and weaknesses.
BL4CKST4R WarRavens League of Infamy 2212	Posted - 2014.03.27 10:39:00 - [18] - Quote The problem with Assaults is that they are not special anymore. They are generic soldiers now. The Commando is the new Assault high damage and high tank murder specialist (once all 4 AV weapons are out), the scout is the old assaults new assault, and heavies are once again the tankers (with to much damage imo). There is no room for the assault as it currently stands. What the Assault should bring is a highly mobile damage unit. More mobile than the scout yet slower. What the assault needs is...

GUYS JUST LET ME STICK THIS SCREWDRIVER IN YOUR EARS IT'LL MAKE YOU A PRO COMPOSER I PROMISE You so very much like taking your own anecdotes and assuming that because this thing happened once it must happen always and you're right because reasons. First: boasting about bad scores. Second: 'perfect team' gets outplayed and roflstomped. Now this - 'I nearly got 1v1ed by an assault suit guys and I'm so good at this game (see previously mentioned OP scores) so clearly assaults are fine and you are all just bad'. I find it far more credible that you're just a bad heavy and that the significant portion of the community claiming that assaults are meaningless in the current meta is correct.

(Not that I'm saying you intended it that way) Who's more likely to get into a position where they can outflank? Not the assault with its huge profile and low speeds. A situation like the one you describe, with multiple enemies firing on you? The increased survivability afforded by the Assault's slightly larger HP pool is not significant enough to define the suit. Especially since it's far harder to put a scout in that situation thanks to scan precision and, again, movement speeds. ak.0 4 LYFE Guess who's butthurt about light-assaults!? <------This guy!!

A bug that made it so that all tiers had the same amount of CPU/PG as the standard was fixed. No buff. Also, the Cloak is kind of dumb and a waste of space.
