I have no issues running my Min scout with knives. I don't stack HP, I do run with damps, precision, and kincats and an extra code breaker.
Knives are only as situational as you make them. With the Min scout I can kill most any suit with a single uncharged attack, and with my sprint speed up around the 10m/s mark, IF I am ever in a situation where I start to get swarmed, I can sprint away and most times take out the 1 or 2 medium frames that are in my way during my escape.
Heavies, well yeah, they pose a problem and must be attacked from the side or back but even still, a fully brick tanked Gal heavy is only a 2 shot kill, still under 3 sec TTK with knives. One charge shot, one quick strike.
Cal scouts are a problem only if they stack complex precision and cloak with a shotgun (and get the jump on you), far too many of them are so reliant on their passive scans (See the 360 scanners from 1.7) that if it doesn't show up on their radar, it could be standing right in front of them and they won't notice.
From what I've noticed is that if they can see me, I can see them, because they have stacked a bunch of precision mods on to pick me up while I'm cloaked, but they still feel the need for higher EHP, so they stack armor instead of damps, and if I can't see them, well that's where the old eyeballs come in to play, not going solo through choke points where they usually hide, let that heavy go first and then knife the scout as soon as he goes for the heavy kill.
Gal scouts catch me by surprise almost as much as I do them, they don't have to run the damps that I do, but a lot of the time they don't run the precision that I do either. It's usually the case of us literally running in to each other while cloaked, or turning a corner and BAM! were face to face even uncloaked and then we do the dance of our people until one of us walks away as the disco king of the encounter.
The Min scout is in a good place. I can't say the same for the Amarr.
I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?
