Mine was low-risk, effective, and to me, fun. A lot of people might not have liked it though because it largely avoided combat.
Fitting was a minmatar scout with a mass driver, SMG, uplinks, cloak, triple myofibs, a codebreaker, profile damp, and whatever else I felt like throwing on.
For the most part, I would stick to the edges and low-traffic areas of the map, keeping track of where all the fighting was, and cloaking whenever I crossed wide open areas.
I would look for unguarded or lightly guarded objectives and CRUs, ninja my way over, then stealth hack them. If someone was in my way, I would use stealth, mobility, and a little bit of psychology to my advantage to get the element of surprise and either OHK them with melee while my cloak is up (triple myofib roids), or get a couple of direct hits in with my mass driver. Had to be careful because I had no eHP to play with.
While I moved between points, I would use my myofibs to get on odd ledges and platforms nobody could otherwise reach, and throw an uplink up. Though I usually prioritized uplink safety over being close to an important area.
I usually would end up with few kills, fewer deaths, but lots of WP.
What I meant by using psychology was kindof playing with people. Cloak up and wait where I knew they wouldn't look (on top of CRUs, for instance), or I would lead them in circles around something before changing direction on them. Of course, my passive scans helped me cheat a little there because I would know if they turned around as well.
Always loved scouts for **** like that: your lack of eHP leaves no margin for error, but if you know how to use them, you'll never get shot in the first place.

I remember chasing your tank around in my Minja suit for the whole game at one point. Didn't care about the point. I wanted to kill the bob damn it. You probably could have easily, because my best HAV was standard, for ******* around.
Like 90% of my fittings
