Lol 1/3 my hp u serious. I almost busted out laughing when u said that. I cant remember the last time I didnt see a shield or even armor stacked scout with godly moving speed n they have veeeeeerrrry small hit box so difficult to hit. U posted u try to take objectives by yourself look no suits should be able to at all. Even if u play solo had u said hey make scanners back to only squad mates not whole team or even give scanners a limited amound of use THAT I would support but no ur complaing about a counter to ur suit not game mechanics. N if u are ur doing it horribly

Yes! 1/3 hp, but 3 times the speed! It's not what you wanna hear, but these guys here are telling you correctly. You're not doing the job of a scout, and are meeting with some extreme countermeasures that most scouts would tell you come from your playstyle.

You're trying to play mission impossible! You've watched one too many saxonmish and Cyrius li-moody vids, and now you want to be that guy. I've never seen anyone record and post 3/17 games?! They post those "I slayed 78 noobs" videos. You're not taking on competent squads solo, and neither are they! Stop it!

Oh, I see. Your'e still suffering from slayer scout phobia so you simply assume that everyone that runs scouts is a slayer scout. Hmm, guess what? I'm the worst of all the terrible slayers in this game, I cant slay things the way others can regardless of how expensive or tanky I make my fits and my SP and play time haven't done anything for me in this matter, I use gallentean weaponry and I have a strong dislike of any rifles besides the AR I'd rather save the ISK that I'd spend on suicidal frisbee runs. The only times I run a kamakazee is when enemies hack the objective and I run to force them to kill me or die at my hand. I'm a different kind of annoying when I run scout. Not slay everything and whine when I'm not capable of taking out something that had the advantage over me in every possible way to demand buffs to my roles. I'm not just a Scout, Ironically as it may seem the first suit I EVER got to proto was... dun dun dun! The Gallogi, and yet here I am complaining about it but more specifically the tool it speciallizes in. Please don't assume that every scout is a slayer scout because your'e honestly giving me and many others more credit than we wish we had.

Well, since this is such a heavily team based game. I guess that means that as a scout my role purpose from now on will be to run around the entire map with a duvolle focused scaner or creodron scanner while running 2-3 complex damps and revealing the locations of just about every player on the enemy team even if I don't gain any WP from it. Thanks for helping me find my purpose guys.
EDIT: Well with that said, I thank everyone who participated in this thread and if you see a glass gk.0 scout that spends all of his time scanning the enemy team without doing much of anything else than it may be me. Cheers!

Yep, also don't forget to jump high and throw your RE's like their ****** grenades!

-_- if u seriously telling me u cant find a role for a scout or make wp then u dont know how to scout. Here are some prime examples of how to get ur wp. If ur in amb n ur teams pinned cloak n set an uplink away from the battle or in advantages spot on enemys flank idk how many times I wish I had a scout to do this n uplinks net u massive wp cuz no one runs em -_-. Scouts are first to any objective grab it quick or guard it till back up arrives if ur using gal scout should be fairly easy. Try a diff piece of equipment besides REs. Instalations are a big hasle like CRUs u can easily grab em from behind the enemy. Ohh n above all find a sqd I run two proto precision mods on my cal logi n 1 or 2 range amps my sqd mates appreciate it cuz guess what a scout decloaks I know where he is the moment he does but I sacrifice hp for that.

Set an uplink!? Oh THE HORROR! I don't have access to anything but MLT drop uplinks and I'm sure I've pointed it out oh so many times in this thread. Also, hack an objective? NEVER! Don't forget I'm a scout so I have no business on hacking an objective on my own.

You'd actually be more useful doing that than you would be burning all of our teams clones, and blocking my shots with the back of your skull as you try to knife an entire group of mercs?!

Seriously, who taught you guys these tactics?? Too many of you have been told, repeatedly, that "this isn't COD"!!! It's not a joke!! We're serious as a heart-attack!

You will not do well running around the map rushing full squad on comms in a scout dropsuit! Nor a heavy, cmdo, or assault for that matter. As a heavy I would much rather you hack that CRU, supply depot, turret, etc. Than be burning clones trying to shotgun a whole logi-train! You get +50, and I don't have to hack it in my fat suit!

You're complaining about the gal logi, but what else do you want me to be doing, exactly? Rushing a logi-train in a logi?

You guys are the blues we rage about in the forums, that lose the match for you with this 1v1 Bullsh*t mentality?! We're 30 clones down, with no uplinks, and redlined in pubs because you're playing with this solo mentality while your teammates curse your existence!

In the words of so many in the forums, and justifiably said to your type, GET GUD!!

As a gal scout back in the day I was repeatedly being recruited by other corps, not because I slayed, but because I understood the f*cking field! I would NOT let my teammates have to keep asking about red turrets, CRU's, or supply depots! I rocked rifles, preferably AR's since I was gal, to ad dps FROM RANGE! I rocked knives as a sidearm to kill silently, and to carry an alpha dmg effect on my small frame. I would carry a scanner and needle, scanner and ammo, or scanner and uplink! I would average 1500-2000 wp's in links, intel, resupply, and assist!

Maybe I should respec back into scout, and show you, not how to kill, but how to win!

If you're a gal scout, with atleast one damp on, your hiding from everyone else. The gal logi is designed to pick you up when no one else can. The downside being you're probably lethal enough, as a scout, to take him out regardless.

We're not all running Gal Scouts. A Minja needs three Complex Damps and a Proto Cloak to beat your scans. At that point, the suit is so gimped it's ridiculous.

U get hacking speed bonus n best running and movement speed -_- min scouts can hack or counter hack in the blink of an eye nova knife better than anyone and its silent. Make tooonns of wp hacking installations n supporting team to actually win matches. I dont even wanna hear complaints from minjas honestly the only scout who deserves to complain is amar they are least stealth wise speed wise scan wise n slightly less combat capable amongst all the scouts

As a gal logi I must disagree! What would be the point of the suit if not for scans? Tell me what else stands out about a slow, lightly armored, yellow logi that screams "use me"?

The gal logi gets a bonus to scanning precision and duration of the target scanned visibility. Even if you changed the "margin of error" part, which I never get, it wouldn't improve your chances of not being scanned by gal logi. Every other suit with a scanner already catches it trying to spot you, trust me. If you're a gal scout, with atleast one damp on, your hiding from everyone else. The gal logi is designed to pick you up when no one else can. The downside being you're probably lethal enough, as a scout, to take him out regardless.

The scanner isn't the problem. Those running scout got so used to being OP in the 1.8 hay days, and now struggle to shotgun everyone because they see you. You must also consider the tacnet ranges, and how much precision that suit your trying to ambush is wearing in mods! Not everyone tanks armor and shield/dmg mods. Some where precision and range!

Too many scouts have gotten used to this predator scout mentality. They don't play as scouts, but as assaults with scout bonuses. Well I'm using my bonuses so if you don't I'm gonna see you.

Just to help you out, and to prove that it is possible to hide from the gal logi. The lowest possible dB for a gal logi on scans is 15db. Below that you're hidden.

So basically you should have to run 10hp to hide from a suit that can sit like 200m away spamming scans? Scouts are supposed to be stealthy and low hp but hey I don't think you should be scanning further than 30m.. And before you say anything I run gal assault so it doesn't effect me one way or another most scans will pick me up but the range is ridiculous.. I don't like matches where I'm scanned 100% of the entire match..it's to easy to use

I was alone, in fact I was trying to enter the capture point from the exact opposite area to where the rest of my team was fighting and I was completely ALONE what happened is that the logi scanned me, got a margin of error message and in consequence he knew that there was someone nearby, a few players that were most likely in his squad went to check out the area, I ran, logi scanned again in the area I chose to run towards, they turned to that same area, they saw the faint shimmer of my cloak from far away and killed me at range with ease because the fit I ran wasn't capable of tnking damage. That's how it happened. Maybe I am just horribly unlucky and untimely but the reason I run gallentean scouts so much is because they are great for looking for gaps in enemy defences and entering an area of interest without immediately alerting the enemy team... but it isn't easy to do at all.

Is it just me, or is the 'YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED' message displayed for longer than the time you're actually visible on the enemies' TACNET?

I can't believe there are this many mercs not understanding how team tactics work lol! No wonder everyone hates blueberries?! They gave us comms for crying out loud!!

You don't even need coms if you have common sense and know about team . While your playing look and see what your teams weaknesses ( what are they dying to and how ) are and where their lacking and what they need and if your skilled in multiple roles then adjust to do such without asking .

I'm not talking about you per say but general knowledge , if a HAV or DS / ADS is killing your team then adjust and come out with some AV .. someone shouldn't have to tell you that threw comms , if your loosing the ground war and loosing ground , get some links in and not just on the ground where their easily seen and spotted / destroyed , heavy trains ... get some scouts or assaults / commando's , hell even your own heavies and get those HMG's , MD / PLC 's and RE 's going .

People come and complain about things that should come second nature if your experienced in this game , no one needs to tell anyone what to do and if they do then it's clear that their not experienced or just lazy and need their hands held but for those who been at this for a while , they should know better ... they should know to have a little bit of everything so you can adjust to the outcome and what's present as far as danger .

Sometimes your just outmanned , out gunned and out skilled ... can't run to the forums and complain about that , complaining how things are so hard and what's OP . I play solo so that's not an excuse because I'm trying to win and I have multiple others in my team ( hopefully ) that's trying to do the same .

Playing solo isn't an excuse or copout , you have a team and to have a singular solo mentality is foolish because your not going to kill 15 others by yourself .

The more you can do for your team the better and easier it is to combat changes in tempo and make adjustments .

No one should have to ask , you shouldn't have to ask the forums , " what should I do ? "

Most of the complaints come from people trying to take on this game one on one , if it's HAV's , heavies or scouts even ... they get the bad end of the stick because they bested someone one on one and that person had to complain about it because they just don't understand the concept of team and the fact that you don't have to do everything alone , you have teammates .

Multiple mercs scanning more often than not. Scans don't last that long. Scouts should study them instead of complaining about them, and learn to work in between the flood lights.
