Bax Zanith 154	Posted - 2014.06.16 15:22:00 - [3] - Quote Yes. Scouts will have a HMG in there equipment slots that they can place down, that HMG will swivel on a stand and act like a blaster installation. They didn't die from the cold without They died from the cold within. - James Patrick Kinney

Except it has an eighth of the range, a worse damage profile, won't actually reach paper DPS because it's semiautomatic, doesn't have a working spread, actually requires aiming, is less reliable due to lower RoF, and has a shorter absolute range than your optimal. Oh, and it still doesn't have as much DPS as the HMG. But other than all that you're right, it's just like a scout with a HMG! You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Jadd Hatchen Mikramurka Shock Troop 577	Posted - 2014.06.16 18:32:00 - [14] - Quote Honestly where CCP screwed up with the weapons available to scouts was two fold. One they should only be able to carry one weapon system that is not based on equipment. Two they should be limited by PG and CPU in what they put into that one weapons slot. Then the rest of this takes care of itself. What do I mean? Let's say we keep all Scout suits exactly as they are now save only one change. We remove the sidearm slot. Now they can still fit both Light weapons (Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Mass Drivers, Shotguns, even Plasma Cannons) or they can choose to fit a smaller Sidearm weapon (any Pistol or SMG). So why would any Scout ever fit a pistol instead of a rifle? Well Sidearms should cost much less to fit in terms of PG and CPU. So if you want to fit that uber shotgun or sniper rifle or even plasma cannon on a Scout suit, you can, but it will cost you more PG and CPU and should gimp the rest of the suit for other purposes. In other words, to do more damage, there needs to be a tradeoff!!! So the final result is that Scouts should not have the sidearm slot (they can and will fit sidearms in the light slot instead) and they should have a reduced amount of PG and CPU to match. Then the player that uses a Scout suit has to make a decision: more damage = less something else - less damage = more of something else. This simple and easy fix to Scout suits would solve just about every single complaint I've heard about how Scouts are the new OP in this game. Don't believe me? Just sit and think on it for a bit. Hell test it out on the server by reducing the amount of PG and CPU you will use on your scout suits by 10-15% and don't put anything into the sidearm slot. Now go out and fight that way and see what happens.
