So after long discussions about the scout dropsuit viability I decided to give it a chance with a LR. The build is a glass cannon, I equip 3 complex damage mods on an Assault A-Series. I wasn't really feeling the damage difference. What I was figuring is how slow the assault is at strafing while aiming the laser. Also getting back to cover to recharge shields was crippling, mostly when the laser overheats and burns my shields. Also I had this feeling that a scout would be the best dropsuit for this, but the ridiculously low shields, number of modules and CPU prevented me from even looking at it.
The difference in strafing speed of the scout was very nice. I can aim and walk back while firing to get the most of the max damage range while at the same time getting out of enemy fire range (ie. HMG). 100 shields were surprisingly enough to get back to cover and quickly recharge. Still snipers 1 shot me and they're my best weakness. IDK maybe I should go back to Assault Type-2, A-Series isn't meant for this kind of build imo. |

Assault B works very well for me with LR. The Type II was nice as well when I used it. The A has never worked well with me due to my core skills not being up for the armor suits. |

I really can't wait for the Caldari scout version. The grind till Assault B-Series will be a long one if I decide to invest SP on shields (I went damage mods instead). |

The higher overheat damage from the ELM-7 LR requires more shields to take advantage of the fast shield regen. The trick is to not get the shields depleted since the regen delay is the same as assault when depleted. |

Caldari logi suits wont be too different from the current Minmatar versions, the Amarr & Gallente will be more varied, as their races are the armor tankers |

Doesn't help that a Laser Rifle basically like shooting up a flare to every sniper in the area. They simply trace that pretty bright green line right your EXACT location |

Scouts and lasers don't mix.
Scouts are for STEALTH
Bright beam leading to shooter =/= stealth |
