Ever been on a leisurely stroll through a socket, then suddenly die unexpectedly to a knife in the back? Chances are you just ran into a Minmatar Scout.
Scouts in most cases, have bonuses set on Electronic Warfare (or EWAR) and are either good a knowing an enemy's position, or hiding their position from the enemy.
The Minmatar Scout, while still benefiting from EWAR, is less oriented on the knowing an enemy's position, but hiding your position and infiltrating the enemy from behind, causing a few casualties and once he's spotted, running away, taking a chance and charging the enemy head on, or die trying.
In this guide I will go over a few Minmatar Scout fittings, the benefits and the drawbacks of each one, and also how to use the Minmatar Scout to the maximum efficiency.
Skills needed in order to have a successful Minmatar Scout career
Step 1, make sure you have these essential core skills
-Shields Upgrades 5 (25% boost to shields)
-Armor Upgrades 5 (25% boost to armor)
-Shield Extension 5 (Complex Shield Extenders are a must)
-Core upgrades 5 (Extra 5% space to fit mods and weapons)
-Engineering 5 (25% more Powergrid)
-Electronics 5 (25% more CPU)
-Profile Dampening 5
-Precision Enhancing 5
-Range Extension 5
-Cloak Field 3 (You will not need a proto cloak)
-Drop Uplinks 5
-Systems Hacking 5 (With this and the Minmatar Scout skill at 5 you will have a 50% bonus to hack speed without codebreakers. With codebreakers, you will be the god of speed hacking.)
Once you got these you're set! Now on to the skills necessary for your suit and weapons
Step 2, level up Minmatar Scout skill to level 5.
The Minmatar Scout skill at level 5 an additional 25% damage for your nova knives, an extra 25% hacking speed, in addition to a 75% PG/CPU reduction to your cloak field
Step 3, weapon skills
-Sidearm Operation 5 (15% less CPU usage)
-Nova Knives Operation 5 (25% less charge up time)
-Nova Knives Proficiency 5 (15% more damage to armor and shields)
-Nova Knives Fitting Optimization 5 (25% less PG usage)
-Bolt Pistol Operation 5 (25% less kick)
-Bolt Pistol Reload Speed 5 (15% reduction to reload time)
-Bolt Pistol Ammo Capacity 5 (25% more ammo)
-Bolt Pistol Proficiency 5 (15% more damage to armor)
-Bolt Pistol Fitting Optimization 5 (25% less PG usage)
You will notice that I use a Bolt Pistol which is a sidearm, instead of a light weapon, this is so that you can have your knives in your primary weapon slot and your Bolt Pistol as a backup for other scouts, medium frame shotgunners, or jumpers.
Now for the part you've all been waiting for, the fittings.
The Runner
For this role you want two fittings. This role is used at the start of a match to get to a city objective quickly and drop links so your heavies and assaults can spawn in assist you.
1. For distances less than 300 meters
Highs: Best shields you can fit
Lows: 3 complex kincats
Primary weapon: Ishukone Nova Knives
Sidearm: Bolt Pistol
Equipment: Imperial Viziam Drop Uplink, Best cloak field you can fit, if any
2. For distances more than 300 meters
Highs: Best shields you can fit
Lows: 1 Complex cardiac regulator, 2 Complex Kincats
Primary weapon: Ishukone Nova Knives
Sidearm: Best bolt pistol you can fit
Equipment: Imperial Viziam Drop Uplink, Best cloak field you can fit
The Jumper
Used as a troll suit, and also as an uplink clearer and an uplink placer. This suit will allow you to one shot most starter fits, two shot assaults and logis, and two-three shot sentinels. However you will have very low health so never use this in a direct engagement.
Highs: 3 Complex Myos
Lows: 1 Complex Cardiac Regulator, 2 Complex Kincats
Primary Weapon: Ishukone Nova Knives
Sidearm: Bolt Pistol
Equipment: Best cloak field you can fit, Viziam Flux Drop Uplinks
Speed Hacker supreme
Hacks in about 3 seconds. Use this to hit points that enemies neglect to watch, and also to re hack points taken by the enemy in record time. Especially useful when an enemy is occupied fighting your team on a point and you swoop down and hack it while they are distracted.
Highs: Best shields you can fit
Lows: 3 Complex Codebreakers
Primary Weapon: Ishukone Nova Knives
Sidearm: Bolt Pistol
Equipment: Cloak field
Your generic assassin
This is your all around suit, stealthy, good shields (But still not enough to be useful in a direct confrontation), and good speed. Flank an enemy, rejoice at the "SCAN ATTEMPT PREVENTED", and take care of your enemies, quickly and efficiently. You want to have at least 3 different fittings for this suit.
1. For proto Gal logis
Highs: Best shields you can fit
Lows: 2 Complex Profile dampeners, 1 Complex Kincat
