Quote:I want scouts to be competitive but I don't want them to be the best slayers in the game because their base stats tell them they are. I want scouts to be the best ones at being sneaky and getting kills while the player isn't paying attention rather than being able to dance with a heavy and win.
I use both the Amarr AK0 & the Caldari scout these days, i have no loss of actual performance when using either, if i am in the Amarr suit, i just brute force my way through everything, while in the scout suit i have better intel on enemy locations.
Neither of witch helps me get more kills then i do with the other suit, its just a diffrent play style, in the scout i can easier take on multiple opponents in a thight space, with the amarr assault, i can take on more people in an open space at once.
Quote:I want it to be punishing for a scout to be detected. If I see a scout charging right at me, they should die quickly. If they decloak right in front of me it shouldn't take 10 seconds of direct hits to strip away their HP. They shouldn't be able to hide behind cover for 5 seconds and have their 450 shields back up.
If a scout decloaks in front of me, they have an average life span of about 1 second, included in that 1s is reaction time, aiming and killing it, i have no idea how "any" suit can stay alive for 10 seconds in front of someone....
Also why do you let them recover ? this is the most absurd part of your entire post, thats 15 seconds....i kill an entire squad in 15 seconds....
Quote:I want scouts to use e-war mods rather than HP mods, to be punished more (not less) for stacking shield extenders, to have a reason to use armor repairers and shield rechargers/energizers rather than relying on insanely high base recovery values built into the suit. To still have to use modules that relate to their skill bonuses...
I think the game should sitll be all about how you want to fit a particular suit, vs 1 something role it has to fit, i use both my suits to do 1 thing, kill multiple enemies before they can more or less react, though 1 suit is better for short range, they other better at medium range, if you want to use E-Warr modules, go for it, but ive always like a strong offence as the best defence.
Quote:I want to be killed by high HP/fast regen slayer assaults, which I can dampen my suit against, that can't see me sneaking up on them, which I can destroy in my heavy if they get out of hand, which can't cloak and tank their suit at the same time.
If you would hand me a High HP/Fast regen slayer assault suit, i mean higher then what is currently possible, it would not be a funny sight to go up against me, and ive always rolled solo since Dust started. So i know a bit about going up against 2 stacked teams.
Personally, i think all the suits are being "used" right now, witch is a good thing, as opposed to never seeing a scout suit and only just seeing Bricked Slayer Logies, now i get killed by Heavy's, scouts, logies and assaults, witch is a big + in my book.
