My two cents in response to cutting down on your deaths is be more selective in the engagements you choose. Scouts are usually paper thin and you have to be realistic in the fights you choose.

It takes some discipline to pass up a target.

I believe a scout should play to it's strengths so I like your use of eWar mods but not the RR.

RR is a longer range weapon and I prefer to use my scout's speed and stealth to sneak up when possible on a target and attack closer and from behind, insuring I get the first shot to mitigate my lack of HP.

Use the scouts strengths to dictate the terms of the fight and your deaths will go down, but this takes discipline.

I'm wondering how in the **** you got 16 kills with a fit like that.

1. Never put a rail rifle on a scout. Doesn't need to be a shotgun, but it should be a high-alpha weapon, such as a scrambler rifle, plasma cannon, sniper rifle, or even a combat rifle.
2. If you need to strafe, you're doing it wrong- as a kill-focused (I'm assuming shocktroop) scout, you should be flanking and attacking from the rear, so that the enemy doesn't get a chance to shoot at you in the first place.
3. equipment helps, and it doesn't need to be a cloak. REs and nanohives could be a nice combo.

I have no idea what RAs and PEs are.

After each kill jump backwards into cover, as it throws off enemies who are near the target you just killed, which can save your life depending on the circumstances.

Also, be patient. Don't rush in without planning an escape route simply because you know you can get the kill, as a nearby enemy will most likely kill you immediately after.

Range amplifiers and precision enhancers. I don't use the cloak that much. I already have REs so I'll put a nano on instead. So switch out RR
for SCR or CR. I flank poorly, obviously cause I need to strafe far too often.
I don't know about
damage mods, I work better with my passives.

Still can't muster any gungame? Chuck a Core Locus Grenade...

I agree with the replies but strafing is going to be a necessary skill to improve because try as you might the truth is you are going to find yourself in situations that didn't go the way you would like and you are going to be in a gun fight.

Scouts can strafe better than other suits so again play to this strength by learning to strafe well. Personally, I like a SMG for this purpose.

As for equipment, RE's should be a requirement for scouts. A scout when not killing should be flying around the battlefield planting RE's on Null cannons in skirmish while hacking. They are also great for taking out fatties who chase scouts around corners (again use that speed).

I prefer drop uplinks instead of nanohives. Nano's are better for a stationary player and you should be always ZOOMING. Drop uplinks get you great WP's, help the team, and fit the scouts role nicely as you move around the map dropping them.

Oh, and I wasn't saying the OP was bragging, but rather that I wasn't claiming to know everything. Just opinions from my own experiences.

I don't know... this doesn't really fit his playstyle much.

@PARKOUR: I need a bit more info. Is the problem that you can't get out of the engagement fast enough or that you get killed right after an engagement?

Can a fellow scout give me some quick tips on survival? I now am killing just fine but I die too much. My best earlier was
16/7/5.

I run
ADV g1

I'm remembering to strafe but I cant think of much else to keep me living. Greatly appreciated.

Just brick tank it like every other scrub so you can Rambo it.

Granted you'll make cool scout fits but when the sht hits the fan you won't have to adapt. Just slap on plates and shields with a cloak and an RR or cr.

I have a 20 mil sp scout alt and I hunt scouts, they all switch to brick tank half way through the match, no tactics or skills involved.

Just zerg spamming brick tanked scouts with cloaks.

*yawn*

I run min scout so what I am about to tell you is vital since we are the weakest. Amarr is actually better because it has a stronger slot layout to be a balanced scout.

New fit for you:

ADV G1
ARR (higher DPS by far in comparison to the other RR and is cheaper fitting)
Side arm of choice
1x complex dampener
1x Basic/enhanced Armor plate
1x basic/enhanced Kinkat OR Complex Dampener OR another Armor plate
2x basic/enhanced light damage mod
No cloak:
2x compact hives (keep your armor up and ammo available)
STD Flux

other tips:

1) Left to right or figure 8 movement when in a fire fight.
2) Don't shoot at anything unless you can take immediate cover. Sometimes hit detection screws you and you should have killed the guy but now you have to reload, he's at full health, and you have no cover
3) If alone, don't take on anything unless you point your weapon and read the HP it lists. Anything over about 600 you should leave alone. This keeps your kdr a lot less.
4) don't hack, always cover blueberries or someone else trying to hack unless you add a hack module.
5) If you can, don't be afraid to run with heavies and mediums as an "escort". Basically you can use them as protection and watch their 6
6) Don't enter corridors and don't peak in right through the door. Back up and look through the doorway from 30m or so back so you don't get insta beat by heavies or shotty's.
7) Always throw a flux in any place before you enter if you know they are grouped up in there. This is actually why I like the flaylock as a side arm. I can check for RE's far easier and don't waste a nade
8) If you go with 2 armor plates then know that you are slow and you should run more as an assault along side logi's and heavies. If you use the kinkat then you can move at almost 9m/s which is quite good and gives you room to get away losing fights
9) Don't use cloak unless you are proto in Gal Scout. You need the full bonus to cpu and pg for cloaks to be useful
10) You can run with an injector and hives as well if you want the extra points but I don't like being left for 3 seconds without protection. Can't trust blue berries
11) Again, I can't stress how important it is to not engage if there isn't some form of cover that you can take
12) Lose all of the ewar stuff. It's for losers. I'm serious. You don't and shouldn't need it if you r core is at 5 (which it needs to be). If you pay attention there isn't a whole lot that PE's can make up for. Just check 360 degrees relatively often and you'll see who you want/need to kill and whether someone is following you.
13) Remember that compact hives does both armor reps and ammo. But it will do your armor first before getting to ammo. You can only have one on the ground at at a time hence why I use 2.

Another fit you can use is a scout/logi fit. basically, completely brick tank out and put injector and rep tool and just run with other heavies.




Atiim nailed it. Don't get greedy and go for more than one kill. get your kill and get out. If you are going to fire any additional ammo it should be to completely terminate the clone you just killed. If you are almost out of ammo clip and are 100% sure you will have to reload to get the kill then I always get away and reload and find another target.

10. your scan profile is LOWER if, A: your not moving, and B: you are crouching.

I hate posters who brag on the forums and to that end I will preface by saying I am an OK player who enjoys running a scout.

False. Motion has no impact on your Profile/Precision. Unless you have some evidence you'd like to share?

just what iv noticed as i have scan attemp prevented with no dampners on

I run solo ..... I am very smart with my engagements.

I will never ever .....
