What is everyone's opinion on which is better? I've delved a bit into electronics already thinking it was a no brainer, but lately have been thinking the extra speed and stamina may be worth the extra intel. I made an alternate character and was able to get the enhanced kinetic catalyzer right off the bat and definitely noticed the difference as I was able to engage and disengage enemies more at will than before, however I was placed into a match where my team was redlined so it was a bit hard to judge. Obviously my goal is to ultimately level up both so I can have multiple fittings, but what do you believe is more effective in general? |

It just depends on the situation you encounter. I keep a speed fit, hacking fit, and stealth fit ready for every match I go into. |

IMO electronic scout just because stamina is enough and speed modules only increase sprint speed, not walking speed which is more important for strafing. |

But do you have them all maxed out? That's what I'm asking. I will eventually, but which is good at first?

Yeah that's what I was thinking though the sprint speed still helps escape. Wonder if anyone here has complex kinetics and could give some insight. |

ummm....
Just skill both? It's easy and does not require that much SP?
Those skills are meh, really just used to support whatever your equipment, gear and weapons are. I like the sprint speed increases, but the stamina stuff is nice too.
You can also play around with the militia modules. It should give you some idea of what you might like to do. Right now there's not enough skills or mods to make a "electric scout" or "engineering scout". It's like one week of work, and all of the mods are free for you to use. |

iv nearly maxed out all the stealth and scanning skills, long range scan is the last one which is at 2 at the moment which lets me see anyone thru anything out to about 34 meters, at lvl 5 it will be close to 44 meters all on a militia scout suit with correct mods
dropsuit com, profile damp, profile analysis and long range scan will set you back nearly 2.5 mill sp
mobility, vigor and endurance are next ont the list for me |

In my opinion, Biotics. Right now stealth has minimal use (we still have 8 v 8 corp battles and "small" maps) and a lot of the game is just strafing and killing so biotic scout FTCW (For the current win) |

For public skirmish electronics will let you engage on your terms, and with judicious use of radar and knowing when not to jump in guns blazing (my personal weakness) you'll potentially be topping the scoreboard every time, but since most people are speccing into pure assault meatcakes and ignoring profile you don't need to pump it super high to have a natural advantage over most of the field. I only have enhanced biotics as you do but like you say I'm definitely feeling the benefits of those and can't wait to see what I can do with complexes.
For corp matches as they stand, the small scale and high emphasis on maximum DPS squads really make them a difficult proposition for scout suits in general, no matter what path you take. Until the next major content update, neither is going to make you formidable vs a squad of four twitchy damage modded gunners with revives. |

Electronics are great like the profile dampeners which give you a better chance at bypassing fortifications for starters. |

I run a dragonfly with:
2xComplex Kin Cats - 9.7ms Sprint 
1xComplex L Dam Mod - see flux nades
1xCompact Nano Hive (in case I need to powder my nose)
Flux Nades - this has become pretty key. Taking out everyone's shields by flux spamming a group is awesome. And it sets you up on a level playing field for running a scout (player skill may vary  ) vs assaults.
Exile AR - free. The lesser GEK. With the Dam Mod very OP when your targets have no shields.
It's a really fun suit to run with and pretty cheap due to the BPO usage. But ti requires at least buying a merc pack and a starter pack.
Also- FWIW- I can't wait to run a scout vK.0 with three lower slots. 3 Complex Kin Cats makes me drool. |

Once you go competitive there are only a few classes that will really make any difference, while many remain obsolete.

Well, the natural enemy of a single 'best' option is scope, and I don't think most of us would be here at all (including the devs) if we didn't expect the game to increase that scope as development continues. It's why Dust is inheriting more players from strategically 'wide' games like MAG than twitchy box shooters like Call of Duty. |
