I'm starting to think that a bolt pistol is a smarter complement to the knives for a Min scout than a CR or SMG. You need to finish off the enemy quickly before they do the same to you (and faster) - BP is good on nonscouts in close quarters and excellent at mid-range for versatility.

I disagree that Gal scouts are easymode scrubs. I agree tanked ones are. eWar lets you see a ton and hide, but it does not guarantee free kills (even on MLT, if you done ****ed up). Especially against tight squads.

Sadly, SG is the best complement, as racial weapons should be. It makes the Calscout's Sniper rifle cry and is on par with the Amarr scout's scrambler rifle and the Min's Nova Knife.

I suggest a mix of damps and ferroscales and sometimes a kincat.
Damps - Amarr scouts and Gallogis
Kincats and Ferroscales - Sentinels

As an alternative to PE's, you could equip a high-tier scanner to pick up the scouts that you would've picked up on passives anyways with PE's. It also tells you if there are damped scouts about, unlike passives. Replace PE's with shields to buffer against HMG's and other armor-based weapons.

And there you go.

Soon scouts may be seeing the nerfs they deserve, so if it's possible you should get a prototype logi suit, or any logi suit that has a ton of low slots at advanced, because those logis can mimick scouts terms of stealth to a pretty good degree.

Run around shooting people in the back. Dat skill yo

scouts are lame as hell. Go ahead and be a tryhard. You people make me sick. How about getting some fu***ng gun game instead of being a bunch of b*tch ass pansies...oh wait thats right..this is dust where exploitation is the name of the game and people can't just play a game and have fun. They have to be trolls because they're so miserable with their own existence.

Dude keep your self respect and don't be a fotm b*tch
