Why do so many of you run around with the scout shotty combo anyway? I mean, it's inferior to the assault shotty combo in every way! (except for speed, that matters very little in most situations.)

Super bunny hops.

You cannot super bunny hop in an assault suit.

I enjoyed facing your fit, but mine is 100% militia with no relevant skills trained. I'd be curious to see the difference if I had more invested in the playstyle. I also like that scouts are a bit harder to detect and shoot, so it makes sneaking up on people a bit easier, which plays right into my playstyle.

I've only got point invested into shot guns so I could stop using the HK4m, and use a shotgun that requires less CPU/GP to use.

Yea, my fit is mainly built to dance with heavies as there are a lot of them in small maps like bio mass.

Many Caldari loyalists see Heth as an enemy of the state, The gallente president Rodan is closer to Caldari ideal then crazy Heth, in my opinion. Kill the Templis Dragonaurs, so the real Caldari can resume control I say. Ishknone, Guristas, and Mordu are the better caldari.

It really really is. Sure, you may not be the fastest thing on the ground, but the extra armor you have more then makes up for it. Especially the type II suit. if you're going to dance with a heavy, it's best you bring you that shield tanked suit to survive those CQC situations.

The scout suit is simply not fit for CQC combat. Sure, SOME of you may do well with it, but you would do a hell of a lot better if you threw on an assault suit.

Here's a few reasons why scout shotgun is superior to assault shotgun:

1. Lower scan profile, with the right skills you could walk by enemies without them noticing at all
2. Greater scan radius, you can easily detect people trying to flank you, or catch lone wolfs trying sneak behind your lines
3. Speed, you can run to people before they even realize you're there, and run away real fast when things get rough. Plus excellent for dodging.
4. Super bunnyhops, an extremely useful feature for dodging and reaching targets faster.
5. Smaller hitbox = harder to hit
6. Super fast shield regeneration, the little shields you have can be generated near instantly, very useful for popping in and out of combat.
7. Most of the time you are not facing heavies with HMGs, which means extra armor would only hinder you when facing other dropsuits.
8. I hate Caldari. I mean, their leader is a lunatic who tries to get us all killed!

The Gallente Federation welcomes Caldari immigrants with open arms for those of you who want to defect to a better life...

Speed and the low scan profile make it easy to get the drop on people.

Have a nice day.

Odd, every Betamax corp battle video on youtube is from a scout shotgun perspective.

Stick two Kinetic Catalysts on a type II assault sout and you can close the distance on people very nicely. The extra shields from two extenders gives you that little bit more survivability, especially if you run into a squad - if you're shots are on targets you can easily find yourself surrounded by corpses.

Having a lower scan profile on a scout suit is very handy, but I find if someone knows I'm there, they often get impatient and try and rush around a corner after me. Not a good idea , in most situations anyway!

A scout with a ****** is often the rock to my scissors though!

Thats just my personal preference, i like the speed and the low profile which i have some skills invested into.

I don't trust the scan system at all. There's been way too many times that a Heavy just up and decides to turn around holding the trigger down when there was not a soul in sight besides me and him.

Dropsuit Command 5 + Profile Dampener + Scout Suit = Apparently not enough to slip past a Heavy.
