1st- stop QQ , its sad.
2nd- a Tanked scout is never goig to be an optimal scout. Its a battle scout.But not a true scout. You are loosing the OTHER main thing scouts can optimize : RADAR FUNCTIONS + SPEED.
Sure, you can go around with 7.5 sprint speed , a shotgun ,cloak and 600 HP,but in this case your only true ''scout advatage'' is to be able to use a cloak at reduced fitting cost.
Example:
MY TRUE SCOUT:
Gk.0
Lows:
Profile dampener (Cx)
Kinetic Kat (CX)
Reactive plate ( ENH )
Range Amplifier (Cx)
High:
Shield Ext (Cx)
Precision Amplifier (Cx)
So with this build (my personal favorite)
I have My profile dampener + Gallente Scout profile dampener bonus + Passive Skill Profile DAmp = Radar invisibility
I have My Range amplifier + Gallente scout Range amp bonus + Passive Range Amp (skills) = Very good radar range
My default 45 scan precision + Precision amplifier + Passive Precision amp ( skills) = AdV + level passive scanning
Overall 9+ sprint speed
Amn many other advantages AND the cloak.
I found after playing yesterday for the first time in a long time, that TANKING my scout was not as effective as abusing the true advantages of a scout.
OVERALL: a tanked scout can be considered a light assault with cloak, while powerful, its not a TRUE scout AND not a true assault is a little of both, there by you think you would prefer fighting a ''true scout'' due to it being easier to down, but believe me , a scout that ALWAYS knows where you are, you NEVER know where he is and he will not appear in you radar, and packs a Shotgun AND the speed to get close fast is a lot worse.
Now , considering the high TTK, highly defensive heavy sentinels, Highly offensive Commandos, Adaptable Assaults....
I think Cloaked scouts are not as much of a problem as you may think but more of a thing of getting used to....
