Well that perception is gone in a puff of smoke now. I've run a couple of PC matches as min Scout and I simply could not do anything useful except popping uplinks. The problem is that cal scouts completely negate you. It's impossible to sneak into position to knife anyone when you light up on everyone's passive.

There is gotta be a mechanic that makes the the the stealthy knife assassin actually stealthy. Maybe a min scout suit variant that drops sig through the floor but only allows side arms or even only allows knives.

This is the reason I would like to see the knife bonus on the gal scout (instead on the scan range bonus) this would make so much more sense as gallente are the cqc experts and the most stealthiest faction....but CCP's logic went a different way

Cyrius Li-Moody 0uter.Heaven 5002	Posted - 2014.04.23 05:42:00 - [4] - Quote Everybody is a Cal scout in PC. Fill them lows with damps. I run my Min scout and do alright with it. I die a ton because I'm the one who is hacking points but the suit isn't necessarily bad. You're just forced to run a semi-specific fit because a certain type of suit is FOTM. Adapt my fine fellow. Also, I wouldn't recommend running your knives the entire time. Save them for inner objectives. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

Is Upgrading the Knifes.. They should give you bonus with the Cloak or abilities.. I suggest it is the only weapon you can hold well cloaked.. Or the knife has a wider slash radius. and Automatic charge - not manual. First strike is charge no matter what if you hold knifes for a time out for charge time without switching. The timer would repeat - auto charge. You got any? This is the way to save the Min suit! (with built in mods on other suits, would be nice to have a knife bonus and extra slot (high or low) - Dreamer Minja 4 life.
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 8037	Posted - 2014.04.23 07:00:00 - [6] - Quote A work around to this is to have a Gallente scout buddy with you. A Caldari scout may see you, but he won't be able to see the Gal scout. The Gal scout can then act as a the one to kill off anyone who tries to go after you since no one can see him. And since Caldari scouts don't excel with stealth like the Minmatar, the Gal scout has a somewhat easier chance to spot him before it spots you. PC matches are generally about teamwork anyways.

The mere threat of a Cal scout negates the ability to play on many of your strengths. But then again what's the point in being a saboteur and assassin if your going to get caught easily? You'll still be able to hack well but not in an impressive way Knives are ok though. I personally hate to rely on them but its an option. I save all my interesting low slot options for the Proto suit, but even then just one module "...and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death."

Confirmed as so since 1.7 (possibly earlier). Cal scouts aren't actually that great because they can only get their passive scan out to about 60m with their 2 lows. That said, in PC they will likely have one in each main battle area and held objectives to pick up sneaky minmatar cloaked hackers. You'll have to sacrifice your codebreakers in favour of dampeners if you want to be useful for sneak-hacks. If you're just knifing, use your team mates as distractions, so even if a cal scout does pick you up whilst flanking, the enemy will be too engaged with the main crowd to turn towards you.

The thing is though is that unless your are pulling your own weight you are not really needed in competitive games. No one would tag along just to accomodate you and be a bait. On a separate note - can two complex dampeners defeat a fully decked out cal scout with full array of precision enhancers? PLC, NK, Scout - before 1.8. That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.

The answer is not pretty. On the Minja ALT I run a single complex to get under the majority of threats. Caldari Scouts with Precision Enhancers not withstanding.

The problem is the Min scout is just not fast enough to make up for the lack of base HP it has. This is problematic when you have the lowest PG out of all the scouts and what is even more disturbing is that while the Min scout has 3 Low slots, the caldari scout has 2 Low slots and has 6 more PG on the proto suit! But yea something needs to be done for both the Amarr and Minmatar Scouts to make them more viable. (You don't see them as much as Caldari and Gallente scouts making it pretty evident something is wrong) "One does not simply" run 11.12 m/s. You do it with 63.00 Stamina Regen.

Galvan Nized Deep Space Republic 914	Posted - 2014.04.25 02:55:00 - [22] - Quote Knives have no place in PC, which kind of sucks. Best to run your Minnie with all damps or 2 damps and a codebreaker. You are essentially the hacker, but you rely so much on your cloak. Never be aggressive with your knives. I like your idea for a knifing suit, would be nice if we had a bunch of specialty suits like that.
