And then ccp nerfs scouts based on the qq because scouts are usful for once.

scouts were useful before, you just want ez mode.

Agreed. Haven't skilled into anything yet so that I can see how it all plays out but if scouts are too easy I might try something more challenging. That's the reason I went into scouts in the first place, they seemed useful and rewarding. If they're the new assaults then I might try one of the assaults or logis and try and make something useful out of it

Assaults are crap. My intentions is to have a fun game for everyone. If I seem to be biased, I have good hard data to back it up.

Even ferroscales are too weak to do anything. And yet I am having the time of my life between my running only the one suit I love and being able to adapt it just fine, doing so since just before Uprising hit, using the scout for what it is supposed to be instead of a ninja all the time, the Gal scout having a lot of lows that fit armor and not being a tryhard that grabs the "best" suit rather than the suit you can enjoy. Come on, the real problem ppl are having now is with the cloak. Oh well, that is CCPs decision. Go with it or quit the game. Obviously, the cloak is meant to take the place of merely running a bunch of damps et al then ending up squishy the minute someone sneezes in your direction. Sout does not mean ninja assassin.

Not everyone uses it for cloak, but the cloak is yet another advantage. Most assaults may be able to get more HP then their racial scout counterpart of the same tier, but overall the scouts advantages far outweigh the assaults. Assaults, and medium frames in general need to be improved through slot layouts, here is my plan to do so. Gû¦Gû+Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of threads // Forum alt Gû¦Gû+

CLONE117 True Pros Forever 737	Posted - 2014.03.28 18:55:00 - [21] - Quote i can deal with some cloaked scouts if i manage to see them with my relatively old box tv... halo reaches active camo is easier for me to spot. on the side note though id prefer if scouts were better spotted on the radar/minimap whilst moving. gives the player an actual chance to react to that situation. other than that i guess im fine dealing with them via my hmg. but against other heavies with hmgs... not so much now... id rather see more light weapon heavies than anything else now...(easier to kill in cqc).

Avallo Kantor Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 359	Posted - 2014.03.28 19:34:00 - [28] - Quote I believe they said they are going to adjust slot layouts to medium dropsuits in the next patch because they could not get it into this one. The problems you are talking about are due to this, and once the suits slot layout / attributes are balanced for medium suits you'll likely see the Assault suits to be more in line with the other suits.

Even ferroscales are too weak to do anything. Exactly! If you want a fast assaulter/flanker go Minmatar assault and you will have more EHP while being faster than a tanked scout (at least Gal scout). Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Cheers, Aramis The min assault certainly does have that flanking functionality. Especially if you have profile dampening to 5. I have proto min assault and proto gal scout on my alt. The min assault winds up being faster and having more HP than the gal scout. I only keep a gal scout assault fitting in case I want to armor tank over shield tanking for some reason. Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
