I never had more fun in this game than when using Minmatar scouts.

I honestly don't know what everybody is doing wrong. You need to get good.

Why does everyone think this suit is broken? I do just fine with it & have ZERO problem fitting whatever I want on it. It's the epitome of a suit where you "pick your fights," its that simple.
The suit isn't meant to go up against other scouts, so don't go hunting other scouts.
The suit isn't meant to go toe-to-toe with heavies (unless your a skilled Nova Knifer) so don't go toe-to-toe with heavies.
The suit EXCELS at taking out EVERY medium suit you'll go up against, so use it to go after mediums.
To me its that simple.
CCP Ratatti, I've never asked anything of you, so for the love of Beer & Tacos PLEEEAAASE leave my scout alone. I honestly think its fine where it is.

In Pubs you are absolutely correct.

In PC, you couldn't be more wrong.

Can I have a respec? The suit is terrible, worse than an assault suit. I really want a cal scout so instead of being the one on everyones scans, I can scan everyone.

The min scout is ridiculously bad and underperforms even compared to an amarr scout due to its lack of, well, everything. Please buff this suit sometime, its ridiculous how terrible it is versus cal scout+ sentinel spam that seems to be the new meta

Id really like if CCP either
a) fixed the suit to be viable (preferably a move speed bonus)
or
b) deleted the suit and gave everyone who was stupid enough to spec into it a full refund.

It was only viable when the cloaks could actually do something, but because it can't fit past a basic cloak, its worse than useless, esp. versus caldari scouts who see a red little reticle right above your head at all times even in your "invisible" cloak

Can i just get my SP back to spec something more viable like plasma cannons and breach flay locks?

Which is precisely why I suggest improving the hacking rather than biotics. It will have minimal effect of pub matches but would hopefully make Min scouts viable in PC.

What do you think Ghost?

Maybe change the hack bonus to 10% per level?

The suit only needs one of these to excel:
Codebreakers moved to highslot; The role of covert hacker was significantly reduced with the removal of cloak field's dampening bonus, A Gallente Scout can out-perform the role. Moving Codebreakers to a high slot would both put it in position where I could stack more than a Gallente suit could and maintain stealth to successfully infiltrate.

1, 2, and 3 base PG increase for STD, ADV, and PRO suits respectively; for a suit that has an equal distribution of high and low slots, and more than enough CPU it is very limited by the low PG value it has. Although the CPU increase from 1.7 to 1.8 was on par or better than other races the PG increase from 1.7 to 1.8 seemed lacking. Especially since the Cloak Field has to be prototype and 3 complex dampeners in use for Planetary Conquest matches.

Sprint speed modifier increased from 1.4 to 1.5
The suit defines itself on being faster than others but the difference from Assaults to Scouts is really not much. The Minmatar Assault is actually faster than the Amarr Scout. Giving it a small boost to sprint would give it what it needed.

I can't fit anything on the suit. At standard level, CPU and PG are like a militia cal/gal scout. It is pathetic.

Let's see:
It sacrifices armour for speed
It sacrifices shields for stamina
It sacrifices CPU&PG for ??????

Meanwhile, on my Gallente/Caldari/Amarr scouts (on my racial themed alts) can fit virtually whatever they damn well please. So, can somebody give me a VALID gameplay reason for why my 'ol Minmatar Scout has no resources? Cause I am pretty sure it is a handicap without warrant (like the Amarr being down a slot).

Edit: my Minmatar assault seems the same way as well; neutered resources. My Minmatar Sentinel seems to have avoided it, thankfully.

Minmatar scouts can hack quickly while fitting whatever they damn well please.
