my to go assault before 1.8 was minmatar because I like its speed but I converted to my new toy, the gallente scout. I just got it to lvl 5 and this suit is facking amazing. here is my gk.0 fit:

Hi & Low Slots:
2 Complex Shield Extender
4 Basic Armor Plates

Weapons:
Six Kin Assault Combat Rifle
Six Kin Sub Machine Gun
Core Locus Grenade

Equipment:
Ishukone Cloak Field
Wyirkomi Nanite Injector or Ishukone Nanohive

yes, I can fit a 770 HP tank, proto cloak, proto weapons plus another proto equipment piece on that thing and the gist is I am about as fast as I am with the minmatar assault with around the same total hp. I just traded that weaksauce clipsize bonus for an awesome cloak, a second piece of equipment, lower hitbox, lower scanprofile & higher scan precision plus the ability to evade alot of scanners. I can now cross the battlefield faster with my cloak without being caught because I do not have to waste my time trying to abuse terrain.

RIP minmatar assault

Hope you're prepared for the Cloak nerf and scout strafe nerf.

I can feel it in my scout sensory that the OP has not fully invested SP

in damps, range, or precision gimping his suit even further.

p.s. I can out flank you, out strafe you, out ewar you, and all with 249 ehp.

you think I care about nerfs? I am from closed beta and have collected plenty of SP for everything on several accounts already and the SP event lets me get even more SP for the next toy.+¦

and btw, maybe you havent realized but the whole point of this post is to get attention. maybe CCP Shanghai stops counting their dollars from boosters once and manages to get something right. hope never dies.

That's very true, and its also why I don't ever use the tanked out proto Gal scout I have fitted out (mine is better though, 3 enhanced plates and an enhanced repper). In general as a scout you are better off with E-war and/or speed modules and that is what I run.

However, the OPs point was to compare the Gal scout he's got now to the Minnie assault he used to use. As someone who has proto myself in both those things and the exact same weapons the OP is using he is right. The gal scout can basically do what the min assault can, but better, though slower.

It is not a very good set up for battling other scouts, but it is better than assaults can hope to manage.

I'm curious if CCP could/would actually tell us how many people specced Gallente Scout..?

The scan profile of the cloaked gallente scout is ~17.7, the caldari scout needs like 3 precision enchancers to beat that.

Nerf basic plates. They're the real problem. Way too much EHP for 10CPU and 1PG.

note that only the duvolle focused scanner on a gallente logi can "see" that suit if cloaked and for only 5s. I dont think any scout will fit that many precision enhancers just to see a cloaked scout.

considering that I am an "assault" using the cloak to cross terrain this is damn good. I can move over the field using the fastest path without worrying about rifles nailing me at range at the open field where I cannot hide.


I carry the nanite injector to ressurect the logi that provides repairs

plates need the old speed penalty

Bad fit is bad
I could scan it with passives
Brink tanked scouts are the worst possible way to fit a scout, you will get destroyed by any EWAR scout
But hey, if you want to run that go ahead, it's just easy kills for me :)

OP is also slow as **** and can be passively scanned from 80~ meters away WHILE CLOAKED from a properly fit eWAR Scout. Enjoy the shotgun blasts the the back of the skull you never saw coming bro!

Yeah, please run this fit. Its easy to sneak up on

not sure if troll or just super stupid

I already explained this to you[/url], how any Caldari scout worth his money can see through your proto cloak. Combined with the fact that your own scan precision isn't low enough to detect Caldari scouts without enhancers, you're gonna get sneaked on easily.

So no, your wannabe assault fit isn't as undetectable as you think, unless you start swapping those HP mods for dampeners.

lol "sneaked on easily"

I can see cloak shimmer with my eyes at the range you can passively scan me. awareness > radar crutch

what follows is I point my ACR at you, you drop in under a second while you just scratched the paint of my basic plates

So, you never leave open terrain where you can see cloak shimmers easier because nobody in their right mind would go to an objective *gasp* where there are buildings? Scouts have learned to hide from people without cloaks ever since scout suits were in this game, they don't just aimlessly wander in the open only staring at their radar to find you with their cloak on.

My point is, to me it seems you're assuming everyone is blind and dumb as bricks while you, ultimate master scout, can see everyone trying to sneak on you. Hint, they're not.

It's kind of ironic that you talk about crutches when you're the one using proto combat rifles in an HP tanked scout.
