I'd thought id never see the day, and be more happy if i didnt. Actually no. o7 to all the original mothereffers who ran scout and terrorized
the battlefield, and to the amarr and caladari FOTM scouts, a giant eff you. As ive said, and doc informed me (o7 doc)
there wasnt much QQ
OMG its OP shotgun fa-fabulous people BEFORE 1.8. And the few who were trying to use logic before 1.8, were completely shut down.

I have become a slightly bitter 'vet' because i was one of them who complained and cried about scanner514 and didnt have the means
to counter it. I want to become unbitter. Now i feel bad cause i was one of them help with the changes by complaining.

But its funny. Your tears are so depressing and funny at the same time. And no i dont no life dust anymore, and i try not to complaining
thanks to Tech,

Another one that thinks that he's better because he skilled into something before somome.


Scouts are viable. People have fun with them so they use them.
Why would somone play with something that he doesn't like?

Here's the anwser.
It's fun to be able to play (without being stomped) and mess around in scout suit.



Ps. pre 1.8 scouts were so rare, that it was hard to find one per few games.

Peed off with people continually saying scouts are OP.

I suggest 2 things to solve the problem.

1) reduce the cloak fitting requirements by 75% and remove the scout cloak bonus. Ok, so cloaked assaults will be a pain for noobs, but at least everyone will be able to see they aren't some kind of I win button and are actually quite balanced. Maybe increase decloak delay as well, though I don't see it making a huge difference.

2) Reduce shotgun damage by about 30-40%. At the same time, increase by the same margin the rate of fire, clip size and max ammo. Also increase the range by 300%. This should reduce it's effectiveness as an alpha damage weapon, make it viable for suits other than scout, increase the power gap between std and pro shotguns and give nova knives a more defined role rather than just being inferior assassin weapons to shotguns that people only use because they are bored of shotgunning.

Do these things and IMO Scouts=fixed.

QQ will never cease however, so maybe there is no point.

Actually, those scores only come up against scrub teams. Check YouTybe for reference. All those guys doing extremely well are against MLT dudes from academy lol and the ones that post pc matches have a few more deaths and fewer kills than in pubs.

Anyways, it's not that our hitbox should be increased, it's that the game should be optimized a bit better. Trust me on that one.
