I feel that the game has become overrun by scouts with their damned Nova Knives and Bolt Pistols (Shotguns too, but not as much, I dont guess). I've been thinking about setting up an Anti-Scout suit for awhile now, but didn't know what I should throw on it. I had heard Gallente assault was a good suit (for the armor, I suppose) with a Breach Assault Rifle (dunno why that particular AR). Anybody else have any suggestions? |

As a scout, my biggest fear is another scout that can out scan me.

Scout Ck.0
3 CPX Precision Amplifiers 1 CPX Sidearm Damage Mod
2 CPX Profile Dampners
1 Bolt Pistol (doesn't matter what tier) 1 Ion Pistol (shields and quick shooting; best tier you can use)
1 Flux Grenade
1 Ishukone Cloak 1 Remote Explosive
Assuming you're able to fit all of this, you're probably going to have to compromise (hopefully not the modules)
Scouts won't be able to see you, and you'll be able to see most. You can trade the damage mod for an extra precision, but I prefer damage mods. |

Pooky, I may be talking out of my a$$ here, but wouldn't a gallente logi with the best scanners you can fit on it be better? |

What about lower tier Caladari suits? Obviously I want proto, but what should I use until then? |

I'm in the process of skilling into this role myself. My plan is Amarr scout with an assault rifle, with precision enhancers and range extenders. This fit would require you to stick close by to your squadmates since you'll be fairly squishy. I'm thinking the AR is a good choice because it should work well in the ranges where your passive scans are effective, and it has a pretty balanced damage profile which makes it ideal for killing Caldari scouts as well as the rest. The ScR's overheat makes it less ideal for fast strafing/cloaked targets in mid-to-short range (like 10-30m).
The other option is the GalLogi with high-end active scanners.
Best PvE idea ever!

a shame about this is you are using 3 high slots to still not be able to see any scout that has 3 damps (or 2 for gal), rending you completely useless to standard fits that arnt brick tanks

Honestly? Just get yourself an Ion Pistol. They may not one shot kill heavies but they are a scouts worst, if least expected, nightmare. You can still carry your regular primary and modules; just change out your sidearm.

I feel the exact opposite! I swear by my BK-42, but the range sucks, I think. I love that thing as if were my kid. I think the Rail Rifle is better for distance than the Combat Rifle though. Lot more powerful too. I just dont like the fact that it has the delay after I pull the trigger. |

Like I said though, proto would be great, but what about for lower tier suits? This setup and just adjust for the different amount of slots? |

Yes it maybe a scout, but it could be a different race. OR it could be a scout running different mods to pick up the dampened scouts. or Dampening themselves more to stay under radar. That is a counter measure. OR run a Gall logi which nothing is going to get under I believe. |

If you want anti-scout without running scout then gal logi with scanner, higher tier the better. Suggest gek or mass driver for weapons.
If running scout, C/1 with 2 range amps, 2 precision mods. Put a rail rifle on to take advantage of the distance tacnet provides.
Beyond that, a nice surrond sound headset. I run the C/1 noted above often & there are only a couple fit options that get under my passives, but all of them make the same sounds. Footsteps, decloak sound & reloads, a players ability to manage these susually seperate the scubs from the skillful.
Have you considered a career in costumed aggression?

Randomly turn around and look behind you really messes up a scouts day
fitting wise it all depends on how you personally play and which of the annoying scouts do you want to kill so much |

FW tends to be easy mode with all the assaults as well as heavies. Maybe 2 scouts out of every 20 matches or so.
However, by your logic, nothing will ever scan a non-caldari about that has all its lows filled with CPX Damps. |

well only the AR since you can't fit 2 weapons on a logi suit... btw I die and or kill fellow scouts with the breach scp (or get 2 shotted by bolt pistols) and the breach AR as you mentioned is effective too together with the RRs, which is the weapon that kills me most. |
