I don't trust a merc with an Amarr picture suggesting Minmatar bonuses...
It just seems off.

The Minmatar Scout looks ok to me now especially after the reduced PG needs for fitting the damage mods.

Probably speed, or knifing.
Whichever helps the Amarr re enslave us quicker.

Because running kincats is too pg extensive on the scout. While other scouts have 90+ pg with skills maxed, the minmatar has 81. If I fit 3 complex kincats that's a whopping 42 pg which is a little more than half of the total pg. 3 complex shield extenders cost 33 pg and that's 75 pg total with no weapon. an adv cloak costs like 9pg, prototype weapon costs like 12, prototype nova knives cost like 9 or something.
TL;DR: PG cost of kincats and lack of PG on Minmatar scout inhibits it from doing what it does best, run fast.

This is an issue with Kin Cats not Minmatar scouts. They need to be lower PG cost so they are an equal option to armor for all classes. This would be most benefical to the shield races Caldari and Minmatar.
As for your example fitting 3 complex shield extenders on a scout should limit what you are trying to do, as the game should reward scouts for not hp tanking(I am not saying it currently does) |

Wasn't the mantra No suit should be able to fit full proto. I'm sure if you went to ADV extenders your fit would be just fine

His point is that Minmatar would then have more bonuses than the other races, and that would be inequitable.

The problem more comes from your 3 shield extenders, when you're that fast you don't need to have so many HP, take 2 precision enhancers to see the enemies coming and run away if the oppostition is too strong (and then flank them of course). Or if you really want to shield tank (trust me there is no need for that), use some adv SE, you'll save lots of PG. But I I do agree that kincats cost too much compared to HP modules |

You don't need that many shields. In fact, if you play your cards right, you won't need any at all. Here is my current fit at proto level.
Scout Mk.0
1x Ishukone Nova Knives
1x ARN-18 Cloak Field
3x Complex Sidearm Damage Modifiers
2x Complex Kinetic Catalyzers
1x Complex Profile Dampener
As long as I pick my battles and forget about trying to capture or defend objectives while keeping my eyes peeled for any stragglers or weaknesses in the enemy squad, I can cause some serious problems to the enemy with this fit. The only thing that's not complex in this fit is the cloak field but 30 seconds is all I need to scout around looking for targets to kill.

It's probably the least practical scout suit. Amarr, Caldari, and Gallante are good at scout v scout. Minmatar not some much. Another bonus won't make it OP especially a bonus to kinetic Catalyzers.

Why are you stacking kincats on a Min-Scout in the first place? You're supposed to take advantage of the naturally higher speed and add things like dampeners, range amps, ferroscale plates, or codebreakers or even shield regulators.
Minmatar suits are for balanced builds, they aren't for filling in all your high slots with a single module type and all your low slots with another single module type.
Math is easy, you're just stupid.

2xC damp, ISHcloak, and 1xKinCat is "FTW' no?

Naw, the ISHcloak isn't really needed. Not enough time was given for all the cal-scouts to go chase the Amarr Scout so you can get away without it for now. If an SP event happens, or come September, you'll need it again, but not yet.

English isn't my mother's language so I'm not sure of what SOS, SOL and AOK mean, but here are some details :
When charging the knives and hitting with both I roughly reach 750HP.
Climbing on the tank is surprisingly easy (tankers are idiots lol), however staying on it is quite complicated as the physics laws aren't respected. Basically you nearly don't move with the tank when you're on it, you have to walk in the direction it's moving to not fall.
Don't hit the turret, it doesn't do anything
However you can use the turret to not fall of the tank. Generally the tanks run away backwards so placing yourself at the back of the turret will make it push you in the right direction (doesn't work all the time)
If you don't want to lose lots of ISK, take AV grenades or RE with you because the explosion will kill you if you finish the tank with your knives. Personally I prefer losing money because popping the tank with a knife swing is so awesome  |

By the time that Amarr sees you on his tacnet, you may as well read him his last rites.
With upgrades to Nova Knives, Sidearm Damage Modifiers and Cal Scouts no longer capable of seeing everything permanently.
Their is pretty much nothing but LOS to be your end now.
