Alena Ventrallis Vengeance Unbound RISE of LEGION 2157	Posted - 2014.11.13 19:39:00 - [1] - Quote A simple brainstorming session. Goal: to make scouts prefer EWAR over health. Not all ideas are supposed to be well thought-out, this is just brainstorming to get ideas from the community. One that popped into my head as I was typing. Suppose we halved the module slots on scouts (Scout gko from 2H/4L to 1H/2L) and then doubled the effectiveness of EWAR (ie: Complex Dampener from 25% to 50%) This would make EWAR a much better choice for scouts. Toss some ideas out. Let's get that brainstorming going. Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

As it stands, I need ALL my LS to be able to avoid scans on my minja. What you fail to realize is that Gal scouts are imbalanced with relation to the others, and by using them as a basis for your nerf, you make them the only viable race for scouts. I dont balance around GalScout. GalScout was simply the one i chose to illustrate my point. Suppose we halved the module slots, but gave each scout a 20% bonus to a type of module? Gal: Dampeners Cal: Range extenders AM: precision enhancers Min: Kincat? Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

Alena Ventrallis Vengeance Unbound RISE of LEGION 2157	Posted - 2014.11.13 22:09:00 - [4] - Quote Another idea. Suppose we increase scout profile to 40dB up from 35dB? You can still become invisible to everything, but now requires 3 dampeners and a cloak to do so. Other scouts can become invisible to all but the best passive or active scans. Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

Other scouts can become invisible to all but the best passive or active scans. Again, you balance around gk0 and don't care about other race or suit level. gko should be the best at hiding. That's his job. And considering I run CalScout, you can talk about bias all you want, I want my scout to be stelathy and paper, not stealthy and tanky.

Since they wouldn't be able to participate in combat, they wouldn't be much fun to run. They'd need to generate WP for passive scans on par with the WP generated by Logis for rep-slaving and hive tossing. There's an interesting idea. Suppose you got a small amount of wp from squadmates getting kills from your passives? Another thought, suppose we made profile tied to speed? The faster you are, the higher your profile.

Since Lurking would be immensely boring, we should add a rewarding mini-game to keep folks entertained. Stay alive for X seconds while uncloaked and within scan range of hostiles for progressive "sneak streak" rewards! 30 seconds! +10% WP per target per second 60 seconds! +50% WP per target per second 90 seconds! + 100% WP per target per second 120 seconds! Your very own orbital flux strike! 240 seconds! Your very own hybrid laser strike! Excellent thinking! Out-of-the-box! Come on people, I know everyone wants to chime in here. Throw out your idea, let's keep this rolling. Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.

Remove the ability to add hp buff modules, insta-ewar scout. I am against this. Scouts should have some health, but they should prefer to fit more EWAR as opposed to more health. What we need to do is encourage them to stack ewar, and discourage stacking health. Proof that Rattati/CCP do listen to the playerbase.
