Perhaps amarr assault with shotgun and SMG is not a bad idea. Kincats are not an option in that case.

Edit: Back in the day, there were two very dangerous shotgun assaults, primarily running caldari assault if I remember correctly.

Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane

Although, assault suits were on an entirely different level back then.

As for the speed tanked MinAss shotgunner, it seems to have potential in lower tiered fits, but it doesn't scale well once you get to proto. It seems to act like a fast, tanked scout at STD/ADV levels, but when you try to fit it in full proto it isn't particularly effective.

Compared to a scout, it can't easily flank or ambush a target, which means it has to take fire to get in close. Unlike scouts, the Min Assault is a big target, so it WILL get hit. In practice, it may be fairly fast, but it is also a big target, not stealthy, and quite squishy for an assault.

No real difference in assault suit stats since open beta. Hence, it should still work.

That moment when you mow down a proto Caldari assault suit with a militia laser rifle. Words can't describe it.

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency 5927	Posted - 2014.11.15 12:56:00 - [7] - Quote There was a peculiar mercenary running around with a shotgun and cloak on a std Minmatar frame in one of my matches. He had a fair amount of health and constantly strafed. Unfortunately for him I was running my adv Minmatar Assault with advanced precision scanners and detected him around me constantly. Got him a good six times and he did not even manage to brush off my armor. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Yes, but almost everything else is different. TTK, heavies (even the fact that it's plural), logis, scouts, scanning, and weapon selection are all entirely different. Armor plates are different, fitting costs are different, slot layouts are different... I could keep going, but you probably get the point.

I think I know the fellow. I put scrambler rounds through his skull before he could reach me. Valcore was running around with one. I have a Min Assault that runs 408 shields, 320 armor, sprints at 8.77 with a 2x damage modded shotgun, and running 2 damps. It can't cloak, but it's tough, fast, and perfect for CQC. After hearing all these complaints though, I have come to believe that scouts aren't the problem, people just hate the shotgun. Shotguns can only kill you instantly if they are within 0-8m. Don't let them get close. EDIT: Best thing about my fit is the damps. Do you know how many scouts I've shotgunned in the back because they don't run precision enhancers? I can tank a shotgun shell. THEY CAN'T Bullet Hell and Duct-Tape? Count me in! FA recruits get free officer BPO's. Enlist today. Must be a scrub to enter.
