Adapt & over come...or post & cry if that works better for you.
Changes to ewar have made the cal scout pretty pointless to use compare to other scout suits, but it's not completely worthless. Maybe make some lol fits & see if you have any fun with those. I've learned some new tricks doing this, maybe you can do the same.
If you are diehard scout, go to the barbershop with a positive attitude & get some help.
Have you considered a career in costumed aggression?

First of all, been playing since late beta. Not new. And second, the only reason I'm mad is because when you put months of playing into the game to get something you want, and CCP nerfs it to complete dog crap, it really sucks. And yeah, lots of stuff is OP, but it's understandable. It's those nerfs. |

I feel for you. It's tough to stay ahead the nerf/buff cycle and the resulting FoTMs. The only way I could do so was to keep a reserve of 5m SP ahead of major drops/updates. That way, when a playstyle emerges as dominant, you have the SP to skill into it instantly. You might consider this as one strategy to help bridge the gap.
Or you might just simply stick to one or two roles and enjoy them -- because the gap between the strongest and weakest suits in this game isn't nearly as large as some would have us believe. Certainly not large enough that skill cannot overcome it in the vast majority of public contract battles. |

I do agrew w/you there. It's like "what will be nerfed next"?, it's a pretty constant feeling. Im currently saving my SP in case the shred something I currently have upgraded. And seriously dude buy a damn apex suit. I have so much more fun when it's not always about the money im losing and/or making.

W.T.* ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
CAl scout is THE BEST SCOUT.
Gal scout cannot scan with 30 mts MAX scan range// only works cuz low slots and damp. same problem with Amarr scout, (30mts max range) only works as a Flanker cuz decently low Scan profile (compared to assaults), low slots and massive stamina. Minnie is still the best hacker and NKfer, but its really specialized.
CAl has DAmpening, Regen (With 50 shield regen per sec) and the best RANGE.
Have you checked Range amplifiers lately? 15% range increase at PROTO level.
You would need 3 PROTO range amplifiers to get the same scan range the cal scout has.
Sure, the passive scanning did take a huge hit, but cal scout is still 100% solid.

I'd say 80%, King, and I still think the Gal Scout and its evasion of scans to be the more powerful suit in-game. |

Yeah, it's solid, but the passive scan nerf really hindered it's usability. It's easier to speed tank or dampen, which will get you past 2/3rd of the scan rings virtually unnoticed & those mods are more effective on the battlefield than the derped passives we have now. With only 2 lows & very limited ewar options for high slots, gal scouts offer a fuller range of options. Especially so since armor > shields & the bonus to dampening.
I used to radar scout (2 comp range amps, 3 precision mods, cloak & active scanner), but can't see the point now in having to stand alone, uncloaked & undampened with no tank, within 20m of a squad of reds just so my passives help my squad. Everything that fit can i can do with my eyes & a mic-leaving me 5 slots to work with.
While cal scouts are still ******* awesome (& still my first true love), i can't say they are the best.

Probably get 40% of my kills with them. It's just hard to run after someone to knife them and not know if you'll be shot in the back |

another EZ mode scout bites the DUST as soon as they're not the most OP thing in the game
my "i quit" post was very mild in comparison
please send me your ISK.

What do you expect new players to do? Match making sucks, so they're for sure going to be put in with a bunch of photos running assault rifles and 800 armor on assaults. I myself have gotten to the point where I struggle to do well no matter what I run! Think about it CCP. Fix the game. And my scout. You've lost yet another player :) My advice is learn to snipe. Most maps dont have good snipe spots so move constantly.
Starter Fit Suits are OP :-)

You always QQ'd about everything when you were in 3rd rock I remember one thing you said in particular:
'I hate Skirmish, there are too many opportunities to die!'
My favourite thing about this game is this: adapt or die.
