and it was brought to my attention that Gallente Scout and Caldari Scout aren't too shabby either (didn't hear anything about Amarr though so either it sucks or no one uses it)and that got me to thinkin
There should be a way to determine which scout is actually best.
The three categories to rank them in are as follows:(please rate a race in one of the following categories or all that applies)
Ewar
Assassinating
Survivability
Hopefully ya'll have something to say on this topic as I'm officially out of my element here.
I have Gallente, Caldari, and Minmatar, in terms of stealthy slaying the Gallente is best, though the Min has a good niche as a speed tank/speed hacker. |

Minimatar is second best with Caldari
Amarr sucks major @ss
Cool I'll probably still run Minmatar but if I do run another scout I might just pick Gallente.
In PCs my Slayer MinScout seems to work pretty well as a distraction and assassin in it's own right but, it could just be because of the strategy my corp uses.
Gal isnt the best at everything, but its the best at most things, and the things its not best at its Good Enough (tm) |

Except the amarr scout, that turd sinks to the bottom of each list.
Dunno if what you are saying is true here. Gallente is the best scout overall, Minmatar is ok but possibly not ok enough because the hacking and speed advantage you get with this suit may not be enough to compensate for what you lose for not being gallente, the Caldari has no niche and is just globally inferior to the Gallente except maybe in terms of out of combat regen and a slight advantage in scanning range (but since passive scans are a joke right now it doesnt help too much). For this very minor advantage it has to sacrifice quite a bit.
I just recently got Gallente up to 5 (I had not tried it since the old respec where I went with Caldari Scout) and Im making equivalent fits to my old Caldari suits to try them out in the same role, so far Ive deleted every Cal fit Ive duplicated, the only one I anticipate keeping is maybe my field sniping suit.
But you're spot on about the Amarr, that thing is a stinker. |
