It depends what you want to do. If you are more concerned in killing people then the gallente is better at that. Yes, the min and its nova knife are awesome but, it is better suited for a 1 vs 1 or rather sneak attack then off to something else. The gallente is like a light assault. On the other hand if you are more concerned in capturing objective and changing the battle map the the minmatar scout wins hands down. Put a link on that scout and you will see for yourself.

What i do is observe the map. I notice where the enemy is compared to where the blueberries are. I then identify the bottle neck. You see, what happens is that people get stuck trying to conquer or defend a single objective. Even when they are getting kill left and right they keep running right in. This is where you as a scout or even better as the min scout come in. You run around the problem and you strategically place a link away from the bottle neck. You take out the 1 guy defending that lonesome objective and then you speed hack it. You then move on to something else.

In summary here is the game plan by the numbers.

#1 identify area where troops are needed or need to move away from.
#2 move to say area via cover.
#3 place a link near by to entice the troops to move in.
#4 evaluate the defenses of the objective. Too heavily defended move on. Easily taken go for the kill.
#5 hack the CRU first if there are any. Helps with moving the troops
#6 hack the objective
#7 move on to something else. Your job is done you don't need to linger.

What makes the min scout good at this is that it moves fast and hacks fast. That speed hacking makes all the difference.

Minmatar and Gallente logi, Minmatar and Gallente scout, Minmatar and Amarr assault. Most of all, Mithril Forge hater.

Literally the same exact thing. One is just laggier Meh, i ve always played wrong then, i ve never played a skirmish on 1 objective but i have to move, when you brawl in a PC city map you usually attack/defend the same point for a whole match. Gal scout is the best in skirmish but if you fight in a city map i will say caldari scout cuz of the blue shields... Well, Galscout is the best for pc in the city because it can scan very well, you can tank it enough to face a heavy without dying and it has a low profile. Galscout+REs in a pc fight = heavies down Minmatar and Gallente logi, Minmatar and Gallente scout, Minmatar and Amarr assault. Most of all, Mithril Forge hater.
