Min scout was never intended to be an E-war specialized scout.

I think its always be meant to be an infiltration unit specialized in quick assassination (hit and RUN tactics).

You get in, kill a couple of mofos with NK, Hack , GT*O....

at least thats how i've always seen them...

Good luck then with your Scout of preference. The Gal scout is nice to be invisible but you will need 2 out of 4 slots for dampeners so you know.

The Amarr will be the best scan it seems ,but as amarr dont think catching up to those Min scouts XD
THEY RUN FAST.

Even with the Min scout, the passive scanning,range and dampening help the Min scout at lot, at least to avoid everything but E-war Specialized scouts and Gal logis :3 While having enough scan to know where everything is, except Dampened Scouts and HEAVY dampened med frames.

OVerall, it helps a lot regardless of your scout of choosing....

I would argue precision is useless on a Minja unless you're trying to scan undampened Gallente/Caldari, or medium suits that dampen. Look at the numbers on that spreadsheet, they're terrible. Range I would also argue is useless because you need those low slots for better things.

You're right. I have had a Minja character for a while, but I skilled into the wrong things like combat rifle and dampening. I guess I should make a new one with kin cats and try that out. I figured dampening was more useful for knives but I was wrong. I die a lot when I try to use that character and I'd probably be better with kin cats.

You're job is to get in fast, strike hard, and leave. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. You're passing on the closest thing this game has to Bruce Lee because it can't be Sam Fischer. Never pass on a Bruce Leee suit. Rattati has spoken. CalScout hitbox is fine. You're gun game is broken.
