Just posted the Quicker Knifing by SoCal_Ninja tactic on the thread about the way to quick knife by alternating L3 and R3

But it's blunt smkr that's kicking my butt. I keep loosing to his very shiny prototype scout suit and boundless breach SMG. It makes me sad. Good to meet all these awesome scouts though. *cough* join my corp *cough*

Armor plates reduce your movement, and sprint speed by a percentage depending the grade of the plate. Militia plates I believe reduce your speed by three percent (if I remember.) While the highest grade will reduce your speeds by ten to fifteen percent. Somewhere around there. I wish I could log on to Dust. I'd tell you the exact amount.

They have modules for stamina, vigor, and movement speed as well even knives.

Sorry guys, haven't been around to bump the thread or add the new loadouts, but I'm doing it now.

As for the questions about Armor Plates and Kinetic Catalysts you could check my stat guides on them in the front of the thread :D

Standard is -3% to movement
Advanced is -5% to movement
Prototype is -10% to movement

It's actually better to have 3 standard Armor plates than 1 complex one because it will net you more armor for less PG and Speed reduction. But it takes up all three slots. Having a complex armor plate would lower you to 5 m/s movement and 7 m/s sprint. But if you throw 2 complex kinetic catalysts to balance it out you could max your speed at 8.7 sprint. It would take a huge chuck out of your PG though... don't even know if it's possible. Before weapons or equipment or shields you'd have 41 PG on the suit with a max of 75 fully upgraded. All so you could run at 8.7 with 230 armor and 117 shielding. I don't think scouts should be armor tanking. Maybe if you wanted to take the hit to movement, but it almost turns you into an assault with 2x shielding. I'm curious if this build works for you. My personal tastes make me never sacrifice speed, but dust is for the experimenters so have at it!

I wouldn't say it is under-powered, just bugged. If every hit that I got with the knife registered, it would have been an incredible killing weapon. Outside of unintentional hindrances, I think the knife should stay exactly how it is. Although, it probably wouldn't hurt to increase the Complex Myofibril Stimulant to a 75% bonus, so that fewer modules are needed for an OHK.

Naming conventions for Communications

Working on making some good looking maps. This one is for designating names for sections of the map. This is one of the services I will be providing from my corp btw...

was thinking of calling it death trap but didn't want it to be confused with death alley lol

where is the 3 low sprint speed suit fitting post?

also does the advanced scout suit only have one more high slot? that's it?

yup a bunch of new ones with a prototype isk one that heals two people at once, as well as electronics upgrades is back so you can get the complex CPU modules

I've been working on a new setup cause smgs are getting boring. So i decided to try out the Scrambler Pistol here is the setup i have so far with just a pistol



Name: Pistol Whiped
Dropsuit: Scout A-series
Light Weapon: None
Sidearm Weapon: Carthum Assault Scrambler Pistol
Grenades: Core Locus Grenade
Equipment Slot 1: Quantum Nanohives
High-Power Module 1: Complex Sidearm mod
High-Power Module 2: Complex Shield Extender
Low-Power Module 1: Basic Armor Repair
Low-Power Module 2: Complex CPU mod

With this setup its all about accuracy cause a good headshot can 1-2 shot someone. When ur in a 1v1 situation take ur time an make sure ur shots count an keep moving around. then when ur fighten more then one guy at a time u need to take them out fast so drop a full clip into a guy quick as u can if ur good aim his died in a sec then move on to the next one. use grenades too there really important with this setup cause they help out alot against heavys. Also the range of the pistol is really good, you can easily snipe people at good distances if u aim down the sight

An this setup is for people that like a challenge an are accurate with a gun

combat against heavies have changed a lot in the last build, the turn faster and hit harder. NEVER engage a HMG heavy from the front if one sees you get to cover lose him and come in from behind. Only stay engaged until he finds where you are, as soon as he starts to aim at you get to the closest cover while avoiding his line of fire. rinse and repeat. You can no longer out strafe heavies turn rate. Not a big deal for most guns, but with an HMG if you have been hit its too late to run, so pray to what every deity you believe in and limp to cover if you can. I haven't tried it but you might have a chance jumping past him and getting to cover. DO NOT reengage as long as he is paying attention to you.

AR and forge heavies are giant pushovers still, so use the above guide, but as always as a scout engaging unseen is your best option.

I'm still struggling with Scouts in the new build, and have several of my fittings based on the Assault suit now. I'm still running Scouts, but not as heavily as I used to, which is a shame, because I've always been a fan of the speed classes in shooters.

Working on a couple of free Dragonfly fittings (using AUR for Militia BPOs) at the moment though. When I finalise at least one of them, I'll post the specs.

And yes, of course my Kamikaze Free Hugs fitting still exists
