Rhadiem Algintal Core Gallente Federation 496	Posted - 2012.12.19 08:45:00 - [1] - Quote I found my new love today, shotgun scouts.. so I started investing SP into it.. any suggestions from those of you who have been doing it for a while? I've just been using the free HK4M shotguns I had a ton of, which has been very good.. but they're not unlimited. Do I need to break down and invest in speed or stamina mods? I can use damps and naturally complex damage mods also.. but typically go with shields. Suggestions welcome. Thanks to all the heavies who let me beat on you, and especially the one I circled 2-3 times, unloading countless rounds and who still killed me. Either I missed a ton, or you were in proto everything.

Shields increase your signature radius. Do you know by how much? I know it does in EVE, wasn't sure if they translated that over or not.
Rhadiem Algintal Core Gallente Federation 496	Posted - 2012.12.19 09:33:00 - [3] - Quote Thanks for the ideas all.. I think the shotgun I'm most interested in is the one with longest optimal range. I've been playing kinda suicidal, with a big shield buffer and just diving in and melting faces.. I've even closed range face to face with HMG heavies and won, or nearly won, mostly due to moving around like a madman. I'm just not sure if damps or 5-10% speed boosts is worth losing a lot of shields. Perhaps if I play cautiously and try not to die (always a good thing) they would help, but I may just have to try them and see how they work with my playstyle. My damp and dropsuit scanning skills are level 3 or so to all of them, I'll look at my range and see if that's got anything.. and slowly work those up also. Man I wish we had cloaks.

Shotguns are definitely powerful, even the militia.. just figure that more power is better for the times I'm just barely in range and having to spam since they see me. Ya can't hide every time :)
