I figured core skills would be a good thing to do, kinda based on the idea of becoming a sniper with luxury toys like dropships.
so I trained
Range amp V
Profile damp V
Shield Up V
Armor Up V
Plating IV
Rep sys IV
Engineering IV
Drop up IV
I forgot about electronics, so that one is at 1.
after that, I just sank a big chunk in snipers, so Snipers V, Proficiency V, reload IV and ammo cap IV.
then I startd doing some dropsuit stuff bot I got confused. didnt know if scout would be better or logi. I chose scout...
Gal light drop 3 Gal scout 3. figured it would work nicely with profile damp
and in the end I also managed to get one of those aurum dropships to work with my leftover SP \o/ and immediately crashed 2 of em. didnt care for the double hardner that so switched it out with an AB. apart from that I think mission accomplished!
I've been practicing all day, got a few nice killings on my name and died plenty times, so I aint moving away from the standard fits for now, but it feels as though this time I might stay a bit longer :)
anyway, looking at the skills I did, anything I missed?
Looks good. And this is coming from a Prof. Recon. Keep up the good work! Try to get Cloak Field in if you can. Basic Cloak Field is really all you need, so first level of Cloak Field. You can find this under equipment.
You may underestimate it at first, but I find cloak useful for getting around and also countering enemy snipers. Gives you time to spot (while being near invisible) while looking for enemy snipers. Also good for hiding from heavies who just aren't very smart or do not have clean up crew with them. Also while Cloak is on, your profile reduces 25%. That should help you avoid most scanners--and this bonus applies whether you are moving or not. To top this all off, Scouts have that nifty cloak bonus.
For me, I manage to run Cloak on Assault. Here is a sample fitting I made, using the skills you have above:
Assault - Spectre 17k:
Gallente Assault G-1 (STD)
Basic Light Damage Mod (STD)
Exile/Dren Rifle (STD)
Locus Grenades (STD)
Cloak Field (STD)
Enhanced Armor Plating x3
Total Ehp: around 700
Armor Rep: 2 per second
And depending on what Recon role you prefer--Light (Scout Recon--stick to the high areas, encircle the map and call out targets), Support Recon (Heavy Sniper, means more close up engagements), or Redline Recon I would tag on extra Armor Plates. I use Enhanced Armor plates but Basic works well too, as long as you are using Gallente.
For any Light Scouting purposes just put enough plates so that you don't die in 3 seconds. Then use cardiac boosters or stamina boosters, either is fine. You just need this to sprint longer/faster.
If you have a more heavy recon role Speed is not an absolute necessary, just run armor plating.
Armor + Gallente = win win. Unless you go against a Rail Rifle of course.
I wallow in pools of blood and wash myself anew, I throw away my ugly self in order to become something beautiful...
