i have been seeing a ton of "buff minmatar scouts" threads recently and i just want to say this
min scout thread CCP Rattati comented on. (i also said the same thing in here)
since i primarily use the Min Scout 50-70% of the time and am soon to get lvl 5, i can most certainly say it has one of the more exiting or interesting play styles, since you know that it is a the risk vs reward situation.
the min scout could use a pg buff or you could give it an additional bonus to kin kats, either way would help.
the min scout is the weakest but has some awesome advantages to counter that.
at proto i can stack armor and shields to about 333/345 (not exact but close) but its not recommended to do that.
i prefer to reference it as a covert ops/interceptor class scout since it can out run anybody and can hack fast.
i play it with all shields and speed with a reactive for that 1 rep/s.
i do fairly well if not incredibly good with similar fits and it is a great scout to use.
compared to other scouts it is weak but if you use it to its advantages it can be very powerful.
i tend to stay away from the main battle and tend towards hacking, retaking empty objective, killing people along the way, and only using my speed and stamina to run everywhere.
its best as a speed tank, shield tanked, covert ops unit since they are weak but can move around the map easily and have a powerful weapon (combat rifle) at their disposal.
its obviously not meant as a frontline fight or anything but it can certainly avoid dmg enough to get out of the enemy line of sight to avoid not getting killed if your good/fast enough.
iat the best i can fit 2 complex kin kats, 3 complex shields, 1 proto republic cr and a basic side arm with what pg/cpu it has. if my beloved scout had a bonus to pg reduction to kni kats that would fix a lot of things and it would be ablt to fit a lot more.
my other fit on my republic mk.0 scout is 3 complex shields, 1 enhanced reactive, 1 complex kin kat, and a complex range amp.
with this i can either can barely fit an equipement or an good side arm, even though i run cr with nk, but it cant fit a reliable side arm for when it really needs it.
as a minmatar scout i do die a lot in my basic suit but that is to be expect since it isnt as strong as other scout but it is an exceptible risk i can afford.
fitting wise, i can fit all my min scouts with out much problem, unless i put a cloak on it, and i usually survive a lot longer without a cloak anyway.
dont try to fit a basic scout with adv stuff or a adv scout with complex and etc. stay within its respected ranges and everything should be good to go.
i dont like that it has the same amount of armor as the cal scout since they both have 70 and i would like that to be at 80-85 just to give it that dual tanky feel for base stats.
as a minmatar loyalist and having all minmatar suits to 3 or higher i can most certainly tell you that the minmatar can have there ups and downs certain days but if you keep to a certain play style that keeps you alive and kicking with fair amount of war points in battle then you should be fine.
you can use the minmatar scout as an aggressor scout using speed to your advantage and running all over the place giving your enemy no time to relax or reorganize, but dont expect to live long if you do this constantly, because you will die eventually.
your mian threats aent too bad if you can apply the alpha dps and remaining dps to kill them quick enough:
heavies
cal scouts
proto anything
shotgunners
rail rifles
minor threats would be:
shield tanks
armor tanks
scouts
now i do like the idea of min scouts getting a bonus to kin kats or a pg buff, and people who complain about min scouts are either not using them right or aren't use to their play styles but i can most certainly tell you it is worth getting use to them and using them to your advantage. they are weak but for obvious reasons, and you also need to learn when to avoid fights or situations you can avoid. they do need a buff for either pg or kin kats because they cant fit a good enough reliable side arm to defend themselves in case they really need it. and finally, WINMATAR scouts are good, but they are not terrible in any way, they just primarily need some buffs to make other people stop complaining about them.
