When using an HMG? Of all the classes, they're the one with the lowest amount of shield and armor, and HMGs have the highest rate of fire. CCP, why the hell can't I take out a damn scout? |

Has that been tested and proven in-game? Has CCP put that in developer notes? |

Clarification: "they do slightly less damage to shields than armor" so its like 90% to shields and 110% to armor or something silly like that.
I suppose in the world of video game development, that makes perfect sense. |

Scouts move fast. They spend less time in your sights, meaning less of your shots are hitting.
Scouts have fast shield regen and a short delay. When they take cover, their shields usually recover before you can reacquire the target.
HMGs deal (slightly) reduced damage against shields. Until you're hitting armour, you're not at your best.
Combine all of the above and I'm sure you can see why a Scout is going to take more HMG fire than most.
So is it game design when a scout's pixels are shifting, indicating to me either a connection on par with the time lag between Earth and Voyager 1, or terrible game design on CCP's part.
For anybody that plays EVE, aside from lasers, wouldn't a fast firing weapon theoretically be best to take down shields, apart from a weapon solely dedicated to that purpose (only similar thing on Dust are flux grenades)? |

No, I kept killing you. Different one that happened earlier today (Tuesday). Didn't even take out half the person's shields. |

Isn that a 7% bonus to only sprint speed at advanced? They are useful but not that useful. Now the green vial... at proto is 100% too stam and recharge... you can sprint forever! If I hav to flee I star running wnd don't stop till I'm damn suee the heavy can't follow me.
I follow those I deem to die no matter what I'm using. |

Do you really think I'm that stupid? |

CCP, why the hell can't I take out a damn scout? TBH spkr you either aim like a monkey or your connection with the battle servers are really bad. (i'm leaning towards explenation nr.1)
