8213 BIG BAD W0LVES Canis Eliminatus Operatives 2075	Posted - 2014.04.02 05:35:00 - [1] - Quote All Scouts need is their HP reduced. Because as of right now, they have no balance. Nothing is sacrificed. Scouts are NOT Assault Suits. However, they are meant to be lethal, but using them on the frontline is not working as intended. I will say though, the Minmatar hack bonus is stupid, useless, and serves no purpose on a Scout. I ain't got time for dat sh!t At least I'm not King ThunderBolt

True in theory, untrue in practice. There is no difference in strafe speed, and virtually no difference in the transition from one direction to another. Both are fallacies. Signed, someone who tested it. Comfirmed Super strafing kbm is a myth. Circle strafing > all. And I'm pretty sure that's done easier on a controller. Could be wrong though ALSO TESTED AND CONFIRMED! Straffing is done better, and just as fast with a controller. What looks like a guy going 50km/h back and forth is framerate latency, and connection latency. And I can't do a figure-8 with a kb/m. What make's kb/m better wiuth the strafe is the ability to have more accuracy during the strafe. But the AA tests I did can't apply to anyone, as my AA seems to be broken .

I will say though, the Minmatar hack bonus is stupid, useless, and serves no purpose on a Scout. Almost stopped reading there. How much HP am I supposed to have before you people are happy? Also: The minmatar scout's hack bonus is not stupid in any way, it gives the Minja a role to fill as a mobile hit and run unit, along with it's use of it's superior speed it can engage targets of opportunity, be they other mercs or a hackable object, making it so the suit with the lowest ehp in the game can get in and out as quickly as possible. There are other ways to make sure that scouts are not being abused, without using such short sighted methods. My 800 HP Assault Logi can hack a point in 3 seconds. While standing on a lag bomb of repair hives if I want. I think a Scout bonus should benefit the lethality or survivability of itself. What good is a hack bonus if you just have to run off the point, or die 1 second later? That hack, your suit went to waste. A hacking bonus is a non-combative skill, and should be left to the non-combative roles (i.e.- Logis) I wish that HP tanking wasn't seen as the only option in this game. We have tons of modules to use, but just settle for HP every time, because it curves actual gun skill. Because nobody likes dying. Some scout in front of me with its stupid hit detection coding (which is just implemented projection error randomly executed; not an actual smaller hit box) shouldn't also be able to have over 600HP, plus all the other bonuses they have. The Caldari Scout has become the biggest FoTM crutch in this game (as evidence by most selling Aurum suit in the game right now) because it has no drawbacks. Scouts were meant to fill a role on the battlefield, but do it with less HP than their medium frame and heavy frame counterparts... They should have the option to even approach medium frame numbers. Maybe their is to much CPU/PG on scouts; so that might be something to look at. Either way, Scouts have to much HP. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Assaults, assault. Scouts, scout. Scouts shouldn't replace assaults. Its just another example of CCP giving a faction of the game everything they ever wanted and more, leaving us unbalanced as usual. I'm sick of FoTMs, I'm sick of putting up with some unbalanaced crutch every update. I ain't got time for dat sh!t At least I'm not King ThunderBolt
