I AM A MUCH BETTER SCOUT IN GENERAL BECAUSE OF MINMITAR. It made me play a lot smarter.

RTG is not the place for you bitching about how underpowered you think you are.


@OEK
Not even the Minmatar scout can seriously be considered hardmode. Lol.

Scanning, despite the massive volumes of tears about it, is not so prevalent and strong that you can't do anything. Indeed, you can evade all scans 100% of the time if you try, even proto Gallogis with 4 focused scanners.
Frankly, when I get scanned using dual damps in mine I am stunned. This has happened three times, to date, all of which were in PC. Dual damps + cloak will quite happily allow you to evade anything else.

Meanwhile you can chill with knives and a rifle and kill everything. I prefer the ACR, myself. There is almost no infantry situation other than rampant rooftop camping that I cannot engage in my minja.

350 shields is adequate buffer to do smart work with, especially with the lightning fast regen. Stick on a kincat and your natural speed and stamina reserves will allow you to warp around the map and deploy to any situation that needs you.

The ACR allows excellent power projection over all ranges except extreme long range, a situation easily avoided if you play properly. It will be able to deal with most targets easily, except sentinels in CQC. At that point you have knives. Knives will carve a bloody swathe through everything if you get into a room with people.

The abilities that the Minscout have mean that you need to use a modicum of intelligence to succeed with it. This does not mean that it is 'hard mode' - far from it, if you have a few working brain cells.

My issue is, outside of NKs and hacking, there's nothing the Min Scout can do that the Gal scout can't do 10x better.

I'm more dampened, faster and fit more on my suit with gallente. There's just not enough PG on a min scout, it's hard to fit proto shields while still maintaining eWar mods. That's always been my issue with the suit.

2 Complex Damps and an active Pro Cloak.

If you get the "You have been Scanned" message:

3 Complex Damps and an active Pro Cloak.

You are welcome.

You can still be scanned.

In PC, it's very useful for hacking and point defense. Take advantage of the nova knives as shotgunners are limited to a side-arm for long-range encounters. Min scouts, however, can equip a CR (preferred weapon), and then have nova knives (HIGH alpha damage, CQC like shotgun) as a sidearm.

If you want to duck under scans use 2 complex damps and a cloak, active scanners are getting everybody out there. If you're still getting scanned, well ****, you might have to go Gallente because me and you both know 3 damps on a min scout = useless. You're gonna need a kin cat or a codebreaker on one of those low slots and all damps is a waste.

You have to be fast and play smart, but not for me, because I gladly specced out of Min scout and became a gal scout.
