After much debate and after having been knifing on a gimped Pseudo-Min GalScout for half a year, I've finally manned up and put my SP into the Minmatar Scout. However, I really don't know how to fit the darned thing. My current setup is as follows:
Scout mk.0
Complex Shields x2 Enhanced Shields Complex KinCat Complex Profile Damp Complex Reactive
Ishukone NKs BrScP Flux Nades
ARN-18 Cloak Remote Explosives
Do I have too much unnecessary HP? Is that reactive even worth putting on? Should I go for stealth and add another Profile Damp and maybe a Proto Cloak? Do I need damage mods? Any help is much appreciated and sorry in advance as I know many of you are already tired of these type of threads. |

Armor on the Min Scout? NO NO NO NO NO
Damps/Speed/Codebreakers ONLY in lows.

I think using a CR and NK's works best. If you're going for stealth though, and you die every single time you get caught, then you don't need the HP. I just speed tank it.

Mine is either a Ar/knife with twin precisions/extender twin damp/range, with basic cloak/remotes.
Edit: damn incomplete sentences, or a Tac sniper/ion pistol, double extender damage mod double damp basic reactive, cloak/nano

Everything else is up to personal preference. I don't know about codebreakers. I'm not really a Skirmish guy, and level 5 Systems Hacking already covers what I need to do in Dom and Ambush OMS.
As for DMG mods... are they really necessary even with Proficiency 5 in both NKs and ScPs? I'll have to test them out when I get home later, but won't I already do enough damage to take out most non Heavy suits even without them? One more thing, should I keep the REs? I have never been a fan of using them. |

You need at least 2 Complex Damps and a proto cloak to beat Amarr max precision, so I would at least make a fitting for this in case you run into them. Your fit would be good for many situations until you find someone with precision, in which case you can switch to your max dampened suit.
Shields look good.
I might even recommend making a fit without a cloak and trying that out. I am finding the range nerf to the cloak to be more trouble than it is worth.
I find that with Ishukones on a Minja that damage mods don't really do a whole lot. Learn the Raptor Jump and that will do the trick for most heavies even.

Don't fit plates...my minmitar scout fit:
Scout mk.0
3 Complex shield extenders
2 Complex profile dampeners 1 Enhanced Kinetic Catalyzer
1 Ishokune cloak field
1 C-7 Flux grenade 1 Ishokune nova knives 1 Boundless combat rifle
Because of the kinetic catalyzer i don't need the armor plate. If i want to run i can run for my life, but if i want to CQC somebody i better do it quick otherwise i am toast with little HP. The 2 complex dampeners if someone is running scans in pubs else just a codebreaker or plate depending on the situation

I'm only at lvl 3 atm, so a cloak is not viable. Except for on my 'Neo' suits, and those can only fit at basic while still being somewhat gimped.
CR and Knives is good.
I find no practical use of high slots other than shields. DMG mods for OHK that proto sentinel with an Ishukone, but only if all dmg skills have been trained up.
The low slots are what makes all suits interesting. You could fit a cardiac reg and run forever between objectives and continuing chases, or kincats and outrun all pursuers (doesn't mean they won't outgun you). 3 dampeners hide you from all except maximum skilled Gallogi (unlikely variable). Hack mods, when skilled up and combined with Minja bonus, can attain a minimum of 3 second hax. You could literally hack an Obj. under enemy noses. All leave you vulnerable hP wise, however.
Reactive plates offer reduced benefit under most Minja builds. Ferroscales won't slow you down, but are lolworthy when you could have been beefing up a good combination of low-slot mods like above.
Your shield is all your hP. Learn to evade and distract when it goes down halfway.

I've been an occasional Minja since 1.0. Not very experienced, so take my advice lightly.
I only have it to level 3, but here's my fit after lots of tweaks:
Scout M/1 Series -BK-42 ACR -Ishukone NK -C-7 Flux Grenade -X-3 Quantum Nanohive
Lows: -Complex Dampener (Dodge PRO scanners) -Complex Range Amplifier (Necessary for planning approach)
Highs: Complex Precision Enhancer (Scan any undampened Scout, also puts a chevorn over enemy cloakers) -x2 Complex Shield Extenders (With no cloak, I need to be able to take a few hits)
This fit works well for staying aware of everyone and dispatching heavies. I personally never liked the cloak, and with the scan range nerf I no longer find it worth using. And as Minjas have always been, plan your approaches very carefully. Never engage, only jump someone if it's a guaranteed kill.
Also, not sure what your passive skills are at. Aside from the specific weapon optimizations, I have everything related to fitting reduction and extra PG/CPU maxed out. Regardless of the fit, maxed PG and CPU is vital for a Minmatar Scout.
I know a cloakless Ewar Minja sounds weird, but I really like it. Try it out.

Depends on the scenario.
For hacking, I'd choose:
2 complex precision enhancers 1 enhanced shield extender
2 complex code breakers 1 enhanced kincat
STD flux
Ishukone knives whatever other sidearm you can fit
whatever cloak floats your boat
Assassination scout:
2 complex sidearm damage mods 1 complex precision enhancer
2 complex kincat 1 complex dampener
Ishukone knives Toxin SMG
STD flux
STD cloak
I had variations on both of these before my respec, because I had hacking 3, Min scout 3 and knives 3, and nothing in biotics, so I wasn't getting everything I could out of the suit.

A pair of Min scouts could make easy work in PC by hacking hotly contested areas.

Highs damage modes and shields.
Lows damps and speed.
I like two damps to get under other scouts. With no precision you hunt mediums and heavies, if you see a scout run by it's a bonus kill.

I have 2 scouts. #1 caldary - I use this as my assault scout. Its main job is is to kill kill kill. #2 minmatar - I use this one to hack and mobilize troops. This scout is too weak to go against multiple enemies. Instead use it to sneak around and hack objectives. Kills are secondary for this guy. Put some links on this guy and earn bocu points. Pretty much what I do is use this suit speed and stamina to put links close to a heavily defended area or where I see there is a need to increase firepower to an area. Once the link is in place I know that people will start to show up. If the area or objective is heavily defended I use the reinforcement to serve as a distraction. I then sneak in and hack the objective or try to weaken the enemies position. I try to mobilize the troop as much as possible either into needed areas or away from carnages.
Just last night our corp was playing a vs battles. A domination to be exact. You know the one where the objective is inside a city and there is a supply depot near it that people fill it up with links. The person that holds the depot holds the battle. Well, our compatriots where using the supply depot room as a strong hold and we couldn't get them out. Every time I tried to get in with the intention to kill someone I got turned to confetti. I said the hell with this. Lets use the minmatar scout for what it is good for. I got near the door turn the cloak on and ran in strait for the supply depot. That is I bypass everybody. I actually went pass 3 people and stood next to them. Had I tried to shoot them I would had been killed but, instead I use this suit fast hacking ability to take out the depot. Once it turn blue the enemy got confused. "How could someone hack the depot?" they said. "Impossible!!!!" they said. That right there helped turn the battle because they could no longer resupply their grenades and remote explosives. With the confusion created I actually manage to take out a couple of links and two enemies with the shotgun. Yes, I did get killed but, the job was done. With the pressure the rest of the squad was putting on it was a matter of time before our compatriots folded and then I put new links in that room for good measure. Of course on the next vs they kicked our asses but, hey it was fun.
So, what I'm saying is that maybe you need to look at this scout differently than the other ones. I have other suits as well and the minmatar is not my "MAIN" scout but, it is my "GO TO" scout and it does the job really well.
I've seen some high level folks use this scout very effectively. A week ago I saw a guy who doesn't even put a clock on it. He speed tanked it and use nova knifes. That SOB killed 30 with those knifes. At one point I was standing on top of the building watching the action and he just ran in and out of an area so fast people couldn't cope. I sended him an e-mail asking how he fitted it because that thing was super fast. All kinkats. |

Read the forum rules and come back. Perhaps you could explain how I'm wrong instead of being immature and unproductive.
Let's take a look at facts:
Minmatar Scout Db: 31.5 With 1 Complex Dampener, I'm around 23. Last I checked, proto scanners are 28. 21 on a Gallente Logi, which would require 2 dampeners to avoid. Not sure where you got 3, unless we're talking about the Focused Scanner; which is a different story. If I'm missing something, feel free to inform me in a civil manner.

I don't understand you clowns telling him not to run armor plates. The weapons that annihilate a min scout are scrambler rifles and ARs. Right now ARs are FOTM, armor is a nice thing to have, at least enough to survive an engagement with a backstepping AR user.
HP in general is a good idea on a min scout, especially in pubs. Something I've noticed is there isn't much need to run dampenersin pubs, you rarely run into someone with proto scans aand even when I do I can just switch to a dampened fit or turn on him, they typically stack dampeners themselves so are easy to kill.
I've also noticed kin cats are really not as effective as some HP modules. A reactive plate gives a shield tanked min scout + 15% HP and some more armor reps, a kin cat will only give +12.6% no matter what
Cloaks are not worth the pg on a min scout anymore, run REs. I drop most cloaked scouts due to firing delay and the fact that they think they are invisible. |

Running armor on a Min Scout is taking it's only advantage away; speed. You take a Min Scout's speed away it becomes nothing.
But that's just my opinion. I prefer squishy speed tanking.
Edit:I'm talking Armor Plates not Ferroscale and Reactive. Even then Ferroscale is the better choice though.

Edit:I'm talking Armor Plates not Ferroscale and Reactive. Even then Ferroscale is the better choice though. I still sneer at the one mk.0 I knifed yet had enough hP to still turn around and SG me...
Give the Magsex some love.

Last I checked, proto scanners are 28. 21 on a Gallente Logi, which would require 2 dampeners to avoid. Not sure where you got 3, unless we're talking about the Focused Scanner; which is a different story. If I'm missing something, feel free to inform me in a civil manner. The Focused has a base of 20. Need to be a full PRO Gal scout with 3 damps to escape my full PRO Gal logi.

Proto scanners with complex precision enhancers on a gallante logi aren't 28 (stop using protofits.com) if you use a calculator they are less than 17

I don't use protofits. I used a calculator.
Gallente Logistics 5 grants 25% to Active Scanner precision. So 28 becomes 21.
I've never heard of Precision Enhancers boosting Active Scanners. Pretty sure they only apply to passive scans.

Oh, I thought this thread was about the assault mk.0 suit.
In that case, 3 myofibs, 3 complex armor plates.

Should be 3 myofibs and 3 complex kin kats so you can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

It seems kind of backwards, though KinCats on a MinAss makes more sense.

This thread is a bit all over the place now. Anyway, I've decided on a fit. It works for me and typically produces better results than the others I have tried.
Scout mk.0
Complex shields x3 Complex damp x2 Complex reactive
Ishukone NKs TY-5 BrScP Core Locus Nades
ARN-18 Clack REs
I don't need codebreakers. Level 5 MinBonus plus level 5 Systems Hacking suffices. I also don't need KinCats. I still sprint at 8.22 m/s, which is enough. I'd rather have less profile and a bit more HP with some repair. Thanks to those who have suggested some pretty decent fits. I couldn't get them to work for me, but they were still fun to use.

too much HP, too much cloak.
That cloak won't serve you half as well as an active scanner, that armor isn't as useful as speed, those shields aren't as useful as myrofibrils (if you're badass) or precision enhancers (it only takes one dampener on an assault to beat your passive) |

NO NO NO
Did you read my first post in this?
Reactives slow you down. Speed/Stealth is the BEST way to run a Minja hands down. With 2 damps you NEED to run the complex cloak. When you cloak up with 2x damps, you are immune to all scans short of Gall Logi focused. This will get you under 2x Amarr scout scans.
I typically run a CR instead of a BrScP, and Fluxes have far better versatility than core locus.
I don't care WHAT you put in that last low slot, but NOT armor. Best choice would probably be a Kincat, but if you don't have the PG, next best bet would be a regulator. As a Shield scout, your first priority should be avoiding damage and avoiding taking enough damage to break shields as a last resort. With 3x complex shields, it will take you QUITE a while to get those back up, which is why the regulator is a good choice, since it gets your delay down to 2.46 / 3.77 for your delay/depleted.
Without the regulator, you're looking at a good 6 seconds before your shield start to come back. This will get you killed.
Hope the advice helps. Seriously, DON'T RUN ARMOR.
Alternate Speed/Regen fit I made while getting the data on regulators:
2x Complex Shield 1x Enhanced Energizer (Damn CPU)
1x Boundless Combat Rifle 1x Ishukone Nova Knife 1x C-7 Flux
Proto Cloak
1x Complex Regulator 1x Complex Speed 1x Complex Damp
Stats:
265 shields 87 Armor
65.3 Recharge/s 2.46s delay 3.52s depleted
Profile: 24 Cloaked: 22 9.35 Sprint
