Going Min scout is a 'all or nothing' proposition. You simply won't be able to take advantage of the suit until you have ALL related skills maxed out. That includes all core skills(shields, armor, electronics, etc..), Ewar skills(dampening, precision, etc..), Biotics(KinKats, etc..), don't forget Hacking, Nova Knives, Uplinks, Weapon of choice(should be a CR if suit resources are your problem), & what ever else suits your play style. But when you can dance right in the middle of a squad of "stupid" reds, falcon punching your way to victory It's all worth it. i have 32 million skillpoints and I for fact can tell you that the minmitar scout was not meant of ewar. Simply put, you can be amazing with a minmitar scout but you will always get r8ped by a good caldari or gallante scout. Also, running around with 200 ehp is the stupidest idea especailly when you are running a 150k isk suit. Don't knock it until you try it. KinKats & Cmp Extenders(the only ones worth a damn) do not mix well on a min scout, there's no way around it. & sure the Gal & Cal are better in their respective Ewar Bonuses, but the Minja can have better precision than the Gal with nearly the same range of a Cal. Combined with speed & stealth, this can be a very dangerous suit. Yes the Gal & Cal scouts make better slayers. But the Min scout is the proverbial fly in the soup. Stealth, Flank, Hack, repeat. Besides, can you show me a valid melee fit with any other scout? BTW, I play for fun, suit cost is irrelevant. Are you new to this game? 10 bucks that I can woop ur but any day in my caldari STD scout while you use proto minmitar.
That's because you are using a "Scout hunter" suit to hunt a scout. The min scout isn't for taking out other scouts. It's for ninja hacking objectives, and flanking around heavies and knifing them in the back. So that the rest of your squad can rush in and sweep through with less resistance.
Cal scouts can pose a problem, but with my min scout with knives, and a scrambler pistol, I drop cal scouts just as fast as I drop heavies with knives. The only thing that the cal scout has on me is the passive scans, but that only helps them in their attempt to get the drop on me. I have the speed to get around them 80% of the time, and when said cal scout isn't cloaked (after the hot fix it won't matter either way) I can pick them up on my passive scans and kill them just as well as they can kill me. I've gone 30+ kills with <5 deaths just running knives.
They could buff the min scouts base hacking speed, and give it a different bonus in addition to knives, the PG would be nice to have an extra 10 or so, but it's not a useless suit. It's just more niche role than the cal or gal scout, and it's not a light assault like the Amarr "scout".
I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS?

Nova knife damage bonus is worthless and should be changed to something else.
Auto aim should be tuned down. Perhaps you are just horrible with knives. With knives prof V and min scout V I can 1 shot a tanked gal sentinel suit with a full charge, if its FULLY tanked, its 1 full charge shot and a quick melee since its faster than a 2nd strike with knives. How is that useless? Cutting through groups of heavies from behind when they are too busy focusing on the rest of my team coming through the front door. You cannot do that on any other scout suit.
