Pre 1.8 scouts post your best games and FOTM chasers, stop ruining the game for true scouts...

The only suit I have is gallente scout, I don't tank it, I don't abuse it, I have been running it since closed beta, learn to run a visible scout and I might have respect, running into a room were a firefight is going on with your cloak active is not a tactic... And insta switching shotgun and cloak back and forth is not a tactic, run a visible scout for a week see how "good" your tactics are.

Best game with a visible scout, with a rifle was 29/0 best game with knives was 21/2 both of these were pub matches and the rifle was a Proto scout but it was a carthum, the knife fit was a dragonfly with the sidearm a toxin SMG, Proto knives but it required real work and tactics, it's not like it is now you they just have to run a little bit to the side of an enemy not a full 2 minute long flanking procedure, and you don't know if some blueberry with a RR will just happen to turn around and mow you down... It just stinks >_> ruining it for everyone else...

Ruining it!

I'll grant that I'm not as cool or skilled as you OG scouts, but how am I ruining the game for you? Be careful, falling off a horse that high might cause serious injury.

I've always been a flanker- pre-1.8 that was a biotic min logi, now it's a scout. I've been coming from behind for years before Dust. I feel no guilt for choosing the best suit possible for my desired playstyle as the game evolves. My SG scout BPO, however, was always my free fit of choice.

Tanking a scout is not "abuse". "Real" scouts are always talking about how those who tank their scouts are gimping their fits, so it should only make it easier for you to kill me. Slots are slots, get over it.

I occasionally run an uncloaked scout, simply to prove to myself that I don't need it to do acceptably. I do much better with a cloak, of course, but I go positive with the following fit:
G-1 BPO
SG BPO
Toxin SMG BPO
MLT Locus BPO
3x MLT Kincat BPO

I played gallente scout because it was the only one but I am not saying it like cal scouts are bad they are abused though. When minmatar came out I tried it but I hate running shield. I like survivability over speed, it doesn't mean I tank but it's just about picking fights, and all these scouts running around with 400+ shield that regens in under 15 seconds is honestly BS I know you can tank more on a gallente but it's not realistic, tanking the caldari scout is... If you want to make them suffer for there shield tanking make it so that shield extenders increase hitbox size... Not so funny now ehh? 4 complex shield extends you know have the hotbox of a heavy, you better use that cloak mighty fine... Mighty damn fine...

But it's not the problem of the suit or weapon you use that bugs me it's the niche you find and exort it, old laser rifle, old HMG, mass driver a few times. Flaylock, rail rifle, damage mods combat rifle snipers, etc. I understand there is a lot of work getting to those tiers of expertise but you don't have to abuse it, just run basic and advanced gear lightly and work to help the team, I know the scout role is a solo role but throw down a nanohive, switch to a logi scout for a few games, etc. Don't run a caldari/gallente scout with 600-750 health with a boundless combat rifle and just go beat the crap out of noobs who for a brief moment thought they might enjoy this game. Then die 3-5 times and not care because you have a corporation paycheck and after getting Proto don't work for true professionalism in the art of your craft...
