What would your feelings be if CCP added an innate bonus to fitting a cloaking module on the scout dropsuit?
Would that leave the problem solved, mitigated, or unchanged?

That would help a lot, but I figure that if any suit can do it (IF), then it wouldn't.

It makes sense to make Scouts paper-thin, but I think reducing the CPU and module capability is a no-go.

I don't know, I seem to be having no problem with the CPU/PG of my scout suit. But then again, I only fitted a nova knife which doesn't have much CPU/PG demands.

Imo it should permanently move at or right below it's current sprint speed, at least something to make it just as useful

CCP is having tweak weekend, where we tweak a lot of stuff just for ***** and giggles

Right now I'm getting hit detection errors on scouts that jump a good ten to fifteen feet through the air like ninjas in an anime. Fix that (the hit detection, not the jumping - that's kind of cool) before you start adding more to them.

Really? Let's keep the scout suit unused so it does generate any feedback? Hitbox detection is a rare problem and it's only the most apparent on scouts because of their small hitbox.

Scouts are already a pain in a** to deal with, specially when they using OP shotguns too. They don't need any extra tools to help them OP even more.

Or balance the shotgun first, and then give them a cloaking device.

I've given up on the Scout suit ever getting re-balanced ever since the strafe speed/HP values on advanced/prototype getting nuked.

Seriously, Heavies and HMGs are just starting to make a comeback and already they're "looking into" them because too many people have red tampons over it.

Thereby, Scouts will -never- get rebalanced so long as we keep this same development team - which are really really REALLY bad about communicating with the community. I mean, come on, they can't even put down fifteen minutes for a dev blog, what makes you think they're going to collaborate a bunch of data to see if there's a legitimate issue with the dropsuits/weapons?

To top it off the Scout is supposedly "balanced" for features that aren't even in the ****ing game yet.

Now THATS intrinsic development.

The scout needs more cpu/pg capacity, OR it's primary weapon [the sniper rifle] needs to have cpu/pg requirements reduced... and it needs to get the cloaking device exclusively.

I use a scout suit, sniper is not my primary weapon. Also, most snipers I see don't use the scout suit.

Don't get me wrong, Bojo, I used to play scout exclusively, as my avatar hints; yes they mostly suck right now, as you suggest. A good, skilled player can do okay with them, but they need addressing -- so does hit detection, though. I don't want to see invincible scouts again because CCP can't fix hit detection even after six months (heck, it was probably a lot longer ago than that).

I still remember running a scout with an AR and taking down Assaults, Heavies, everything that came my way in a stand up, head-to-head fight. I do NOT want to see that again.

Edit: And yep, when the heck are we going to see scouts that actually stealth? Come on CCP.

scout are OP in the snese they literally can strafe faster than you the game allows you to turn

side track. Yep, only suit to snipe in is with a heavy. take a hit/ warning shot and move. Weapons should have been suit/ class based - not the way done.
