Honestly though, this fitting is expensive for a scout. It's a thought experiment by someone with so much farmed PC ISK that he doesn't blink at the thought of losing a few each match.

Waiting four minutes for your armour to repair after an engagement sure has to be fun. Are people *really* using fits like the one in the OP? Also can't imagine anyone who used scouts before 1.8 to be willing to give up that much movement speed.

I know a couple who did

So I log in today only to be destroyed by invisible "tank scots". The cloak has made scouts more powerful than they used to be, but the way that people are abusing them is the real problem. Look at this fit, almost 850 hp, completely invisible, and outfitted with prototype magseg and shotgun. This is wrong. If you have played recently, you know how much of a problem these "tank scouts are". CCP nerf this just a tiny bit, not to the point where it is terrible, but balanced. Also I believe heavies hp is about to get nerfed. The hp stacking is the point of a heavy suit. If you nerf the heavies, you will destroy that class. If scouts receive a small nerf, nothin big, the update will be much more balanced.

LMAO. Its not the scouts you should be worried about......... I killed 20+ tanks yesterday. Tanks, you are not welcome on dom either. I will plant remotes on friendly tanks and let the enemy know they are there. A few shots in the fuel cell and booooom. I HATE all you tankers. Quick being a bunch of babies and step out like a man. I will fight you 1 on 1. Then jack ur tank.

Well, obviously people will experiment with weird min/max fits. Are they still running it though? Or will they be running it in two weeks time? More to the point, will more than a handful of people do so? No way of knowing in advance, but I'd be surprised if that turns out to be the case.

Ground speed of that fit is almost as slow as a minmatar commando.

So? Can the Minmatar commando cloak? Does he have 3 passive rep? Does he have these scan stats?

Scan Profile 24.6
Scan Precision 36
Scan Radius 32.5

That example above wasn't even as good as it gets. Look at this beast:

Now that's OP. Scout 514

Im fine with people who put armor on their scout, its the combo of armor, speed, and invisibility

I have noticed that its mostley the proto scouts that tank like that in pub.
Rember that they cost 200k
My PC outfitt cost more than that and I never use it in pub and it's not a tank only 2 complex shield extenders

Scouts need some work.

Keep them as they are but refuse them armor plates ( only the normal ones )

Quick and dirty, but I like it.

You can only fit ferroscales and reactives on scouts.

The QQ would be all the tryhards wanting a respec.

The definition of "scout"-
A person sent out to gain tidings or keep watch

A soldier sent out in war to reconnoiter

Scout is the best suit right now. Scout make better assaults and even better logis. Is that balanced?
