Ranger SnakeBlood wrote:Just occured to me does CCP intend to put skill bonuses on suits like they do on ships in eve, a scout could have racial sniper rifle damage +5% to damage per level and maybe stability this would make it better at sniping than a assult for sniping? It would probably have like a bonus like a cover op ship for cloacking devices making it the base line of covert suits with others varients of assult and logi having covert ablitity maybe the Teck 2 or 3 varients?
The specialization suits on the buckingham server give some hint to this.
The two scout suits -might- alleviate some issues but the trade-offs seem rather immense currently, and I'm not sure which one I would personally go for as I feel the scout could benefit from both.
1.) Breach Scout - Description hints at increased weapon damage and ammo capacity.
2.) Infiltrator Scout - Description hints at faster hacking and reduced scan profile. |

You get a minor increase in stealth capabilities and an almost imperceptible increase in speed, but you have to trade out a significant amount of HP, CPU, PG, and even lose some fitting space to get that tiny bump.
I've played almost entirely scout for about 3 months now, and even paid for the merc pack almost solely for the Dragonfly, but I won't touch it now.... there's just no logical reason to justify using that piece of junk. What about faster reload faster draw faster regen move stamina does that not matter to you?
Faster stamina regen doesn't mean anything with the Scout's standard regen/stamina capabilities combined with skills like Endurance/Vigor. Faster reload can be changed by the reload skill/reload proficiency - drawing the weapon out isn't really an issue at all.
To answer your question the two Assault Suits are:
Shock Assault - description seems geared toward increased shields/shield recharge capabilities
Spectre Assault - Increased stamina capabilities (perhaps a bridge between Scout/Assault) |

Definitely. The disadvantages you get with the scout far outweigh any possible advantage. And even then, like you said, the advantages are almost too low to notice. I've sprinted next to assaults many times, and I only barely beat them. It's strange.
Try moving (not sprinting) behind one with your knives out to try and get a stealth kill. Then take into account that they can hear the knives being charged. |

People need to adapt to the new hit detection faster isn't always better maybe your play style would be better suited to an assualt with those nano thing. Huh? Yeah, I agree with you, which is why I'm confused as to why the scout suit sprints at 7.8m/s, and the assault at 7m/s. Not a big difference. Especially since the scout only has 2/3 of the CPU of the assault.
Honestly - the only feedback I'm going to accept as valid are from people that actually use the things that members of the community say are broken. Otherwise, how are we supposed to know if it's legit feedback or "it's easy to kill so keep it that way"? |
