I believe the part where you said I don't need an extra equipment slot? Or was it module slot? I use every slot on my suits every time. If I want to bring Uplinks and REs on my run to the city at the beginning of the game, why are you telling me I don't need it?

Maybe you should just STFU about what all suits and players should generally have or what they need. Do you run my exact play style? Do you play a scout suit like Shotty, or Marauder, or AO+CJ? King Checkmate? Lightning, noob, Biscuit, or Frost Kitty?

You don't? You have your own play style unique to you? Get Fvcked, sit down, shut the he!! up.

what happens to the standard scout if these changes were applied?

what happens to low level scouts if these changes are applied?

So you want Basic scouts to the the same slots as before 1.8? And this will somehow *help* new players?

Much wow.

LT Shanx says: Scouts really don't need an extra equipment or module slot. They can be fine eWar Scouts without them, and brick-tanked Scouts will still be effective even if they were to lose 100 eHP. Oh, and Logis would have more of a role if Scouts didn't have the extra equipment, but they'd still be effective with cloaks or another equipment of choice.

Everyone says: Shut up you scrub 1.8 Scout. I want my scout to do everything because I fought long and hard for these changes!

Or maybe we can wait until CCP balances the medium frames before we go crazy with the nerf hammer. Stop with the kneejerk reactions.

Can't say anything about the Min scout.

So you needed the suit to be ridiculously OP?

Ok tanker.

there is no need to fit dampeners for scouts, you automatically beat alot of scanners, if not all with a cloak.

just get your EHP up to 600 with cloak and 800 without and you are ready to use your crutch and kill stuff

scout is the new assault. till CCP fixes that simply deal with it.


lol minmatar scout, he cant fit anything into all his slots

You never used a minmatar scout without armor on it have you; didn't think so!

They really don't.

I play a Galscout and having 6 module slots seems a bit too much. With 5 Slots, I'll still be able to equip 2 complex precision enhancers, 1 complex range amplifier, 1 complex profile dampener, and a complex KinCat. Any extra modules are really not necessary.

The same applies to the extra equipment slot. If I want to use a cloak, then I should be able to equip only that. However, if I feel I can do my duty as a Scout and be just as effective without a cloak, then perhaps REs would be more beneficial to me. Being able to cloak and use other equipment seems a bit greedy, especially when the game already has a class dedicated to equipment use.

From what I have seen, the addition of these slots has encouraged many players to opt for brick tanked builds as it is now easier to obtain 700+ eHP on a Scout suit. They indeed have become the more effective Assaults, now with the added bonuses of higher speed, more CPU/PG, lower profiles, smaller hit boxes, better suit passives, two equipment slots that allow them to cloak and self-rep through hives, etc.

Alone, brick tanked Scouts are easy enough targets for any eWar built Scout to handle. However, 6 of them with cloaks and proper comms have the ability to zerg rush an entire team and keep their opposition at bay.

Remove their extra module slot and their HP will drop by 100 or so. Remove their second equipment slot so that Logis become more relevant in matches.

there is no need to fit dampeners for scouts ...

And just when us dedicated scouts have finally gotten the suit to where it needs to be, people like this guy come out of the wood works and want to take it away from us.

Sounds like a fitting smorgasbord, doesn't sound like you're having to make many fitting choices like the rest of us mortals.

That's just the Gal scout, and maybe by extension the Amarr scout. The Cal really does need all it's slots. Can't say anything about the Min scout.

Actually, no, it doesn't.
All I see is Cal scouts running with 3 complex extenders and one complex precision enhancer for good measure.
