Wow really? that's what you took from it? The difference between armor and shields?



Let me say this abundantly clear once again....

GALLENTE CAN EASILY BRICK TANK AND REMAIN INVISIBLE!

NO MODS WHAT-SO-EVER, OR CLOAK, JUST USING SKILLS A GALLENTE SCOUT CAN GET AS LOW AS 23.63 DB!



Its a suit that allows for the best of scouting and survivability. If a scout wants to remain invisibile or undetectable then fine, if a scout wants to be slightly faster than heavies and mediums but still have all the HP then fine. BUT a scout should not have both. Why are gallente scouts playing the roles of Heavies, Assaults, logis (sometimes), AND scouts?

1. Am I asking for a buff to Caldari scouts? Hell no!
2. Am I asking for a nerf to cloaks dampener effect? Hell no! It's a temporary boost that brings a new level of play and semi-original mechanics to dust and I love it even if it does have some issues (hit-detections, full-sprint-shimmer not appearing, etc).
3. Am I saying that Caldari scouts are UP and Not OP? Nope. The fact that they can pretty much easily see other types with little difficulty is OP BUT, and this is a very big BUT, all other scouts can do the same. Every scout has such a low scan precision that every other class of suit in the game is completely visible to them.

things CCP can do to make the playing field more FAIR!

• Set scout base scan precision and profile even (meaning 40 for both).
• Remove the gallente bonus for profile dampening in favor of something else... kin cats, cardio, armor repairers, ferroscale plates. Or hell, give it a bonus to blaster side arms since Gallente love blasters so much.
• Introduce a class system of mods (mods for light suits, medium suits, heavy suits) like they do for vehicles or space ships in Eve online. That way a Scout can stack a bunch of plates but only get maybe 85 for complex instead of 135. Same with shield extenders (before people start complaining about that or CCP actually looks at this and thinks its a good idea but for armor only).
• Make more of the low slot modules high slots. Why do the drugs (cardio, kin cats) go into the low slots when the mythos go into the highs? why can't there be a higher output version for highs and a lower but more cost efficient set for the lows?

you ******* idiots dont get it

cal scout with dual damps can only be scanned passively by another cal scout

EVERY other scout in the game cannot passively scan a dual damped cal scout

how is it balanced to make the cal scout scan every scout and other suit in the game passively?

and not be scanned passively by any other then the cal?

A max dampened Gallente scout should be able to be scanned by a precision enhancer based Caldari scout. This would just be an extreme counter. The only problem here is the added 25% dampener reduction that the cloak gives.


Opinion / Thought Time

I personally believe that the cloak should either be reduced to a 10% or 15% dampener reduction rate,or just have none at all.

Another idea of mine was to slightly increase scan profile while cloaked because the module would require a high amount of energy to make you transparent, and or invisible while standing.

Precision Enhancers should have an X bonus to the scanner if they are equipped to the suit.
