I disagree, scouts should have the greatest passives in the game. Imagine if Assault suits have more equipment slots than Logistics. You'd be pretty mad. That is exactly how I feel, why is my suit which is designed for something getting out played by something else. No way in hell should a logistics suit have more scan range than a scout without using modules.

Anyway, the problem will continue to exist if you buffed range amps. A logistics suit with a range amp will continue to have more range than a scout with a range amp.

That's a horrible comparison. Equipment slots are the most important staple of logistics suits, are you seriously trying to imply that scan range is the one and most important staple of the scout suit?

Scout suits have the most speed, lowest scan profile, lowest scan precision, a massive fitting reduction to cloaks, and skill bonuses that further improve EWAR, and you want to complain about how the logi is stealing your role just because it has more scan range.

A range amp buff would benefit everyone, which makes sense, because passive EWAR shouldn't be exclusive to the scout. It needs to be viable for other suits, hence the fact the logi's are better at long range, despite the fact that they have to sacrifice more slots to get their horrible precision to an acceptable level.

Sir Dukey G0DS AM0NG MEN General Tso's Alliance 1861	Posted - 2015.03.07 22:43:00 - [1] - Quote Amarr Scout is so crappy just because it has 30m range with max skills and 35m with like a complex range amp. A freking logistics suits has a base 37.5 just base with skills. All scouts scan range should be changed to 25m base or 30m base. A Caldari scout (supposely the KING of long range scans) at proto level has 7.5m more scan range than a basic logistics suit. 2.5 million sp worth scout suit has only 7.5m more scan range than a logistics suit. Great, that makes perfect sense. I would totally spec into a Caldari Scout for that extra 7.5m scan range. (sarcasm) Make Scouts Scouts!!! It's the most frustrating thing in the entire game to not be able to pick up anybody 31m out with my 18 db precision where as my Standard logistics suits could pick him up from even farther. Scouts have great Scan DB and Dampening but we are missing our scan range. We have the same scan range as Assault suits. At this point, it would probably be more beneficial to run a active scanner on a Amarr scout and tank the highs with Shield Extenders than run two complex precision mods. Literally I can make a better scout suit out of an Assault suit than most scouts. The only thing scouts have over scouts is the CPU/PG reduction to cloak. TL;DR buff scout scan range by 5-10m. Scouts should not have the same scan range as assaults. Acquire Currency, Disregard Female Canis lupus familiaris

False, they stack plates and extenders anyway and run active scanners instead. Maybe giving more range would give them reason to run precision enhancers.

CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 437	Posted - 2015.03.08 04:46:00 - [12] - Quote This is a good topicGÇª It's nice to see players who are actually DEFINING the jobs that a True "Scout" merc would have. ( Too many players only want to "milk" the Scout-suits to provide them with inviso-powers while they do non-Scout activities). I tend to agree with Logi Bro's hinted point of view. In the game "Scanning" for enemies seems to be detached from the Scout's duties, and (unofficially) incorporated into the list of duties a Logistical player (or even a fellow Assault player) will do for the group of soldiers she is directly travelling with. In Dust, (contrary to what we would tend to think of as part of "reconnaissance" work), Scout suits are fine tuned mostly for quietness against enemy scanners, and for detecting anything that comes in close-threat range of the wearer, but intentionally NOT for detecting things that are OUTSIDE of close-threat range to the wearer. In short, "Recon Scanning" for her group is NOT considered officially the Dust-scout suit's job. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne... No story can have life without writers and publishers.

Dovallis Martan JenusKoll Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 1135	Posted - 2015.03.08 05:20:00 - [14] - Quote If Scouts are going to get anything, it will be bonus to the modules installed. A scout that stacks nothing but armor/ plating should be about the same as a regular suit in detection etc. If they put on a precision enhancer, or range booster, the effect should be greater for scouts. That way, you have the option to choose your loadout. Of course some suits should have higher equipping bonuses, to keep them in line with goals etc. You want extra detection, or extra range, that's gonna cost you a module slot, but it's going to be more effective per slot etc. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust Remember the dream you had before the day you were born.

Your making my point for me again the range isn't the problem it's the way the tac bet now functions giving precision fall off at regular intervals . If the precision fall off was returned to how it was before (non existant) then the range wouldent be a problem. Proud Caldari purist . Rank 10 colonel omiwarrior.

Varoth Drac Dead Man's Game RUST415 653	Posted - 2015.03.08 10:05:00 - [21] - Quote The name "Scout" refers to movement capabilities not scanning. Scans are just part of what makes a scout useful, not the defining aspect of the role. Also, precision and range are now closely linked. Logis have superior range, but scouts have superior precision. The overall scanning capabilities of both, before modules, are quite similar. The real problem are range amps, which have been nerfed severely and are now not really worth fitting. They should regain their previous values. However, improved range amps must not affect the precise inner scan circle. To do so would render stealth extinct from competitive play and have the knock-on effect of permascan for everyone (worse than it is now).

What good does having precision enhancers do you when you have no range. I can have 1 db precision but it wouldn't matter if you only had say 5m scan range. A scout is for ewar as an Assault is for Assaulting. Also yes, scouts have better base precision and dampeneing but in the Minmatar Scouts case, the Minmatar Assault is much better at ewar than the scout. It has an extra high and an extra low, a when you put a complex precision engancer and a dampener, you have 3 highs and 3 lows left, and it has better ewar stats than the Minmatar Scout- not to mention a whole lot more HP. Now if you stack highs and lows of min scout and assault with precision and dampeners. The Minmatar Assault will still have lower DB and lower scan DB while maintaining 2x-3x the HP. This is bullsh*t. A Caldari Scout will untimely have less scan precision than a Caldari Assault. A gallante Assault will have lower scan precision than a Gallante scout. A Amarr Assault will have lower DB than a Amarr Scout. They will all have the same scan range- minus the Caldari Scout vs Cal Assault. Acquire Currency, Disregard Female Canis lupus familiaris
