There have been several attempts at making a Sentinel channel, but that might have been part of the problem. We need to settle on just one. I donGÇÖt have room for more than one Sentinel channel.

They pretty much exclusively trained scouts.
Then Fanfest happened.
Now R0N1N is gone, and we live unhappily ever after.
However, Dust University has some scouts and I think does a good job even if they aren't scout specific.
Lightning xVx has been seen posting recently. I wonder if he may once again be succumbing to the gravitational pull that is DUST.

I donGÇÖt have room for more than one Sentinel channel. I always wonted to be a good Scout. I even know how to be a good Scout. I just donGÇÖt have the reaction time to be accurate when moving that fast unfortunately.  scouts are more hit and run it is not about reaction time but rather selective targeting and patience
To truly be effective like Lightning xVx and Fusion Commander (the two best scouts I have played with regularly) you have to be able to run in and shoot as soon as you arrive. You need to hit with your first shot, your second shot, and if it is a well tanked Sentinel you need to hit with your third shot as well. You need to do all this while never stopping your movement so you donGÇÖt become an easy target for some guy with a Rail Rifle half way across the map. You need to fire as fast as the shotgun will allow, and you need to be somewhere else by the time the body hits the floor.
When I play Scout I run up behind someone and try to line up the shot. They move slightly and I miss. Then I overcorrect and miss the second shot. Then they turn around and kill me. Or I try to fire too quickly and I miss because I did not line up the shot properly. Sometimes I will get the shot lined up and get the kill, but not often enough to get a positive KDR.
I do better when I sneak up behind them in a Kin Cat moded Sentinel suit and line up the Shot with my HMG. If they move slightly and I miss, I just swing slightly and walk it in for a head shot. If they turn around to kill me I walk it in for the head shot. If they run I walk it in for the head shot. The Sentinel does not get there quite as fast, but it gives me a few more moments of survivability to get my shot lined up. Good for an old guy with slow reflexes.
