That being said, I do believe that the min scout can use a little love. ONLY A LITTLE. Any one or combination of the following:
1) 2% base bonus to current speed per skill level 2) Increase base PG by 4 on all suits 3) Increase base cpu by 10 on al suits 4) Increase Code breaking skill from 5% per skill point to 7% 5) An even higher bonus for nova knives 6) 2% kinkat efficacy bonus
That would be all it needs to be more competitive. Again, I wouldn't do all of them but at least 1 or 2 should be considered. I, personally, would like to see 1 and 4. That would make it so much more viable. Imagine getting hacks 10% faster and being able to truly speed tank with only one complex kinkat.
As far as changes are concerned. They would HAVE to be server side. CCP has commented on more than one occasion that the changes they make will not be on the client side.
In addition, there will be zero 3 prec enhancer cal scouts in PC as far as I am concerned. You absolutely have to survive some shots and with PC bed ridden with HMG's with 5 proficiency and ACR/CR with 5 proficiency, relying on armor for HP is just dumb. Every skilled Cal Scout would agree. The only ones running 3 prec enhancers will be with a large group in which case you shouldn't be purusing or moving in on. The heavies, Logi's, and Assualt/Escorts will be doing that in which case 3 PE's are completely unnecessary.
If you use an Adv Cloak with 2x complex dampeners on the min scout then you will get just under (I believe) a cal scout with 3 precision enhancers. With the speed of a min scout (if you don't wreck it with plates) will allow for you to cloak outside of 50 meters (now 42 I think with hotfix alpha) and catch them.
3x complex dampener min scout isn't a gimped min scout either btw. If you have to run 3 then run 3. I do it often enough and have success with it.
How do you do this? I really don't see how you can reliably beat calscout's scanning. If you dampen through the roof, you can't do other things effectively that you were supposed to do. Also, I don't see how you can be effective in PC unless you are able to down heavies in one charged strike.
PLC, NK, Scout - before 1.8.
That's right, I stack that OP Sh!t.

A great fix for min scouts whould to give them dB stealth bonus when they have NK equipped. This way they would still stay in their niche and be able to hide from cal scouts. there should be a delay to when dB bonus kicks in after you switch to NK obviously, so that ppl don't abuse the technique.
