CCP has released information stating the weight of the Scout Suit and the HMG?

Where can I find this?

I am only too happy to stick my forge gun onto a cloaky scout suit! Oh god do you know how much fun that would be!

- Cloak on, sneaks up to heavies and others, decloak, forge gun charges......BAWWWOOOMM! haha (Yes I know you can do similar with remotes and the forge gun charging would give you away but still, I love forge! <3 )

As if once a topic is ever broached all other forum goers are forbidden to discuss said topic whether they were aware of it or not.

Seymour, are you a bully in real life? I always thought better of you.

Holy Sh!t , the world is going to end and hell has frozen over if Atiim is asking where to find info. You are always johnny on the spot with info, supporting evidence, links to sites, the whole 9.

...would easily weigh over 500 lbs (a half ton).

Then remove their sidearms, because the only reasoning you could possibly have for no LW is 'their fingers are too sausage-like, and thus can't hold them.'

I'm indifferent to the idea.

It should be noted however, that as long as a Sentinel is capable of carrying a long range weapon (such as a Scrambler or Rail Rifle), the argument about Sentinels being out-ranged by nearly everything is invalid.

Should Sentinels be restricted to only heavy weapons in their heavy weapons slot? Commandos are the only heavy suits that should be able to wield light weapons IMHO. It's their specialty.

Discuss.

Machinery of that size, considering it of solid metallic make, would easily weigh over 500 lbs (a half ton). Scout suits are supposed to be agile addons to the subject, who could weigh about 170-250 or so if in fit shape, plus the weight of armor would be about 25-150 lbs to be conservative, making the maximum 400 lbs or so.
But I'd have to go with the clone itself being streamlined for the scout role, as well as the dropsuit, so the weight would be around 200, and the suit would be about 50 lbs. Thus the logical result is the entire fitting weighs about 250 lbs. Then again, most scouts waste a good deal of their remaining suit strength on burdensome plating, which would reduce their carrying capacity... or should, if you actually wanted weight to factor into this.

CCP made an entire Video on DUST explaining how you can be a scout sniper... or a heavy sniper...

The differences..

This is what a CCP game is.... The ability to put any size anything on anything..

We have put battleship modules on frigates in EVE.

P.S. that video was the one for Uprising launch... When we didn't have aim assist... Such an amazing game.. I miss it..

The DUST we have now is like a DUST 514 from back then set on "Easy" mode. Everything about DUST now compared to then makes me not want to even play the game.

Pro Tip: 500 lbs =/= half ton

---

Also, the GalScout in my merc quarters is crackhead thin, but mercs are supposedly 3 meters tall (or some such). Might be heavier than he looks.

500lbs is a half ton huh? Let me sell you some drugs.

What if there were a penalty of some kind?

Reduction to light weapon range

OR

Reduction to reload etc.

I wanted to make the OR stand out because I would be careful not to add too many restrictions, if one small one doesn't create a significant enough sacrifice, then another small penalty can be added. I think there should be battlefield variety, but I think there should be a little sacrifice without it being so significant to render the variations completely useless.
