one huge thing that's bothering is that the Amar scout is very, very slow. even with all my core skills maxed out(armour, shields,sprint speed, stamina and stamina regen) the minmatar assault with the same bonuses can out do it in terms of speed, where scouts are supposed to be best at.

but that's not what I'm here to to tell you. I'm here to share some fits that use amar scout suits and can outdo even the mighty min assault.

Note: PG/CPU optimization skills are needed at max level to do this.
ANOTHER Note: all hp related skills and biotics skills should be maxed out as well

standard scout: scout A1 1 high, 3 lows.
1x basic shield extender( to take advantage of the Amar scouts strangely good shield stats, 111 shield will have to do)
2x complex kincats(don't skimp out. if if you aren't running 9.64 meters a sec then something is wrong.)
1x adv amour repair. (basic ones are no good, complex take up too much pg and cpu, this gives you 212 Armour repping at 7.25
a sec, can really save your ass at times, such a battle scout.)

a standard shotgun(if you need more than that you must have issues with assault ak.0s
assault scrambler pistol(its pretty good, you can have whatever sidearm but this is a good combo for finishing people)
a flux grenade(duh,equipment caldari shields.)
"tash murkon" light am-l skin module(gotta look good killing people.)
no equipment on standard suit.

scout A1-series,all time multipurpose.
same slot layout as standard but instead of 1 basic extender you can have 2 advanced one and still be able to fit equipment.(militia HIV needle BPO here)

scout AK.0
this is where we get for real boys.
this time we can fit some nice stuff to it. with 4 lows we can fit a complex armour repair, a complex ferroscale and the 2 complex kincats.(295 Armour that reps at 10.87 a second while sprinting at 9.64 meters a second, not bad eh?)
(360.94 stamina with 52.50 regeneration a second damn that's good)
2 enhanced shield extenders(185 shield that recharges in 4 seconds(6.49 depleted)
a cloak field if you want but that's boring so i take a drop up link to help the team.
Duvolle specialist shotgun( I'm special)(some tweaks can be made to have the Creodron as well)
assault scrambler pistol( again the "finish him!" thing

all in all the amar scout is a very underused scout, kinda like the laser rifle. but in the right hands it can be really nasty to deal with.

at most with the standard scout a1 the fit costs about 16,515 isk, the advanced suit at 25,200,and the ak.0 at a whopping 127,660 isk(can use an advanced weapon to reduce isk cost and pg and cpu to fit some remote explosives or a scanner)

I take it you're not a fan of precision enhancers.

Remove your crutch myos,lets see you use the plc,scrub

The thing is, amarr scout can't do anything better than cal, gal and min.
Minmatar assault can be a better scout than amarr scout.

To put this in perspective.
Scan fit = very poor range, won't give you enough time to react
Hp fit = you'll be worse than an assault or a scout
Speed fit = sloooow.

I'd somewhat disagree with you, but overall you make good points.

Scan fits would be better if range amps were not so terrible.

HP fit is the only one I'd disagree on, though it's still not as good as a Minmatar assault.

Speed fits...well, you already pointed that out.

Maybe giving the Amarr scout a extra 2-3 percent to scan range per level would help a bit...

Put the same fits on a Gal slot ands you'll do better.

If only the amarr scout had a bit faster speed and scan range weren't so ****, then my amarr scout would be like a light assault

It already is. Look at the fit I posted. I'm using principles from all the faction. Dual tanking,high armour,good reps high speed, hit and run. Team support.

My beef with the ammar scout us that is so damn ugly. If I had to rank the scouts by looks it would go caldari, galente minmatar an the in 15th place ammar. Note that there are only 4 scout so a lot if nothing gets rated higher thsn the ammar scout

Minmatar look like a child's space suit.

Gallente looks like a latex gimp suit

At least we can afford latex.

Nope. 1) Cal 2) Amarr 3) Min and 4) The ugly Gal scout. >:)

The real question isn't if it outdoes the min assault.

The real question is if it outdoes the amarr assault.

Lol. This being a scout hunting suit. I wonder why I have a silly little jacket and skirt on the ak.0 that and the tash murkon skin and I look better than all the other scout suits.

I've recently gotten into the scout ck.0 (and am planning on skills the scout ak.0) and I have a lot of fun with it.

Although my fitting for both is far different from what the OP proposed (hey bro!) I still get the job done! I'm finding it fun and I'm finding myself able to do things I hadn't previously thought of in two years playing Dust 514.

I'm paper thin and getting killed REALLY sucks because my setup costs so much ISK, but since I've started running the scout ck.0 I've seen my KDR improve in places and my team contribution improve as well. Of course it took me the last two weeks and tons of matches of getting my ass kicked to get used to the scout....but its a nice change from my Amarr assault :D

Anywho, my fit:

Scout ck.0
-
x3 Complex Myofibs
x1 Enhanced Light Damage Modifier

x2 Complex Kin Cats

Ishukone Assault Rail Rifle
ZN-28 Nova Knives
Basic Flux Grenade

Basic Remote Explosives (I'm Michael Epic, afterall )
Ishukone Cloak Field
-

No I don't want to use profile damps, nor do I want to use precision enhancers or any kind of shield extenders, armor plates or reppers.

The idea is to practice moving fast enough and being sneaky enough where I blindside folks and so far that's working out well for me :D

good speed fit for getting links where they are needed (if your willing to remove remote) and the arr has decent range to compensate for your squishy'ness

The Amar Scout is not a scout. That's a Light Assault.

*shots fired*

A/1
Adv link of some sort
2 reds, one green
Everything else is moot until they take combat rifles out of the game.
Run wide of everyone and keep dumping links. Pray that your team sucks.

This is definitely how not to fit an Amarr scout.

1.) Shield extenders have no business on an Amarr Scout. The only thing that should be in highs should be two complex precision enhancers,
2.) Screw speed, if you are going to do it right- put on a complex damp, complex plate, complex reactive, complex repair.
3.) Viziam ScR
4.) Remotes
5.) Nanohives.
