People will say Minmatar for EHP and slot allocation and those are fair reasons but dat instant Hack......... that Hack bonus I consider to be one of if not "the most valuable skill" any suit has in this game.

Glad to see the Minja is almost unanimous. Short of hacking and speed, everything else is done far better by other scouts. Gal Scout is King of Scouts, and I question the intelligence of anyone who disagrees.
Also, someone like this damn post. I don't want to have 8213 likes.

5 MONTHS
You may have heard that I recently specced into Gal Scout, and it really puts into perspective how bad the Min Scout really is. The Min Scout doesn't have enough PG, the bonuses are pathetic, and it's paper-thin. Everything the Min Scout can do, the Gal Scout can do pretty much 10x better. A Gal Scout - or even an Amarr Scout - can achieve similar hacking speeds, AND be better dampened in the Gal Scout's case, and the Amarr Scout can still have top-notch precision.
For knifing? Well, the Gal Scout can achieve similar speeds, whilst having similar EHP, and having a lower profile. And the extra damage from the Min Scout isn't that useful really - you could just do a follow-up slash with any other scout before the red even realises.
IMO, it goes:
Gal Scout Amarr Scout Cal Scout Min Scout
The Min Scout is seriously UP.
5 months?
Hell, I've mained the thing since Uprising 1.0.
It's always been the worst. ALWAYS. And it has had several builds where it was almost completely useless (1.8 Alpha-Charlie comes to mind)

The pre-precision Amarr Scout (gallente-light) was pretty bad ... But Ghost is right, the Min was worse. |

It all depends on what you want to do really, the Gal Scout does everything pretty well which is why it's the most used.
Caldari can't speed and damp like the Gal can but the Gal doesn't have shield regen like the Cal and the built in complex range amp is better to have than a standard precision enhancer IMO. With my Cal Scout if I get to cover for just a few seconds I'm back to full health. The Gallente has longer downtime between battles. Cal Scout is best assault scout and Gallente is just the most flexible.
If you're not wearing proto, you're doing it wrong.

Why? I speced into minja. It is good.
If fitted good, it does hide under amarr scans (with cloak on) while having codebreaker.
Also this fit achive almost 400ehp. Dampened gallente scouts run with little more than 400ehp.
The worst (in form of fun/playstyle) : Amarr. He's just slow.

Yeah as I see the the AM scout doesn't really fill the role of a scout. EHP is too high and its damn slow as all hell.
I mean if I were making a scout suit I would almost wholly focus on replicating the technologies that makes the Slicer such a ******* good ship and make a fast suit.

Umm... guys, why is the Minja hard to use?
I typically play mine in Skirmish and all I do is run around the map, stopping every once in a while to hack a lone objective/turret/CRU/depot, drop uplinks, destroy equipment, and knife any unsuspecting targets along the way.
I never play with intent to engage anyone, but I know that I'm still helping my team with the things I do. It's a great way to chill, bank on SP due to high WP gains, and still be a factor that ultimately leads to the success of my teams. |

It's that kind of stealth hacking power that makes HAV operation on the battlefield horrible. 1 Min scout running around my redline hacking those turrets means if I ever need to retreat I'll be under fire from not just my enemy by AI.

There's no broken hit box. It's either lag or bad aim.

Sometimes I have a hard time putting down Min Scouts and Min Assaults. I believe it to be a lag/hit detection issue.
A while back a dev said that anything that moves at over 10m/s can be game breaking and I firmly believe that to be true, especially with some of DUST's lag issues.

And sometimes I get OHK'd by a FG while gunning in a DS; but it doesn't happen often enough to myself or others for us to b!tch and moan about the FG having bullet magnetism for months on end.
But yes, speed does break the game. It happened before with scouts which is why they received a speed nerf but that was chrome and early uprising; it wasn't until after 1.8 (maybe 1.7?) that the current issue with the Cal Scout began to crop up.

That's where I would disagree. If I were inclined to use a Minmatar suit (ew disgusting flithy) I'd never need to engage enemies or stack EHP.
Hell I could spend entire matches cloaked only hacking turrets and objectives behind enemy lines... or ambushing snipers and lone defenders with RE's...... though point of the protofits build I created just no was purely to have objectives 50% faster.......
I mean how can you not have respect for a scout with 50% faster hacks, and fundamental scan invisibility, not to mention 8.31 m/s.......

So my squad downed a Minja's Python. He bailed out, I assuming taking no damage, and made it under the rooftop under enemy fire (must have dents in shield). I hop down and sputter an SMG while he is distracted - he takes little damage and blueshielding is everywhere. He hides for 4 seconds, then comes around for round 2. I pull off 5 seconds of firing into his face. Again, blue-shielding. He ganks me with his knife.
So, like the Calscout, the Minja isn't free of lag 'advantage'. But normally this would be impossible. So the truth is folks, that sometimes it's not the suit.
Give the Magsex some love.

The small hitbox + low framerate + constant lag + fast speed of these suits make them ALL broken. Shields in general have some issues against projectile weapons and explosion damage, so the CalScout, with the best shield hp and regen, seems to be the only problem. It's not!
Try to fit some kincat on the Amarr scout and people will experience the same issue when they'll try to shoot you^^
Take out all forms of scans and you'll see how great Dust can be.

Calscout also has (tested with wearing one, and vs calscouts that i knew all the numbers beforehand) a damage reduction somewhere.
Only taking 5( F I V E ) damage to shield after a clip of pre-nerf ACR to the face from 12m?
That is literally 1/6th of a bullet.
How about losing 50 shield from a Tactical Sniper(back when they did 170-ish)
Mass Drivers doing 20 splash damage? Flaylocks doing 100 DIRECT damage? HMG doing somewhere close to 50% reduction in DPS, shotguns needing 4 rounds because the bastard only loses 20 shields a shot at 3m full on headshots, the list can keep going if you'd like.
TL:DR go read that. It's infuriating KNOWING this is going on.
Even MIn Sentinels take more damage than that from ARs, snipers, yadda yadda.
Also a main reason it's not "scout hitbox + scout speed + shields over 250 = godmode" as then the Minja would be even more godmode with 3 shield extenders.
Please for the love of god, someone do some legitimate empirical testing on this, it's pissing me off even now, and my PS3's been down for 3 weeks.
On Topic: Minja. By far. Then again, it's not the hardest suit in the game to run, that would be the Callogi or MinCommando.
