caldari scout looks very weak in this idea. any scout countering 1 precision enhancer with just a basic damp? that forces all cal scouts that are trying to do what they are built to do running 2 complex min, and most good scouts will be running a complex damp most of the time(except maybe cal scout), forcing 3 precisions when fighting scout squads, while they have only used 1 slot. And you won't see many if any gal scouts running more then 1 range amp, wont be able to detect most scouts even with max precision. need to buff precision enhancers to match damps (10,20,25%) if a bonus like this came in. plus i think CCP wants cal scout to max out at 15db (matching gal logi with focused). |

the problem is 3 precision enhancers is needed to catch 1 damped scouts. a scout can hide with little effect, and it takes a cal scout heavily investing to catch lightly damped scouts. this swings the damp v cal scout precision way towards damping. |

Part of what it looks like we're running into is a problem with absolute "yes/no" scanning results but since that is quite possibly fundamental to current engine mechanics what can we do to work around it and create an environment which at least mitigates those absolute results.
Thoughts? (or is my very premise somehow flawed? )
~Cross Neutral leaning towards positive. I don't currently use codebreakers primarily because I have so few lows that I feel are better used with kincats and damps. This move might give me the opportunity to actually give them a try.
that's a general issue with high slot utility. moving something to high slot could help a lot in preventing hybrid tanking.

Min Scouts aren't the fastest or best hackers because they don't have the option of "3 damps or 2 damps + cloak" with the latter letting them use codebreaker or biotic module Then why not ... A) Change MinScout slot layout from 3/3 to 2/4; hold all else constant.
B) Drop MinScout's base Scan Profile by a few points; hold all else constant.Both solve our puzzle in fewer moves. Both eliminate risk of unduly harming the CalScout. Your thoughts? PS: I'd personally prefer A over B; it'd lend the Minja greater flexibility (all the good Scout stuff is low slots). I prefer B over A. Speed and shields go hand in hand and tbh I don't even care if I'm scanned anymore you may see me but you'll never catch me 
a is not a sensible option, as each suit is meant to be different, not have 3/4 have 4 lows and 2 highs. and scouts base scan profile is already lower then its precision. and why are people compaining because they have to invest heavily to be inscannable? give min scouts a little more base speed, maybe up their base hacking mod another 0.05 above the rest. |
