Huh, I don't even have max skills (nowhere near it) but I had a couple AUR left over and bought the Proto Suit....I've got a pretty mean combat fit with 315ish shields, -40% off of shield delay, a basic armor rep, gauged nano hive and a specialist shotgun. I'm sure I'd have to shuffle stuff around for the top end shotgun, but as is it works great.
I've got a long ass wait before I can get Proto Scouts, but I'm gonna start saving up. I won't have nearly enough SP by the next build (no boosters), so I may or may not stick with this path come then. As of right now, it's definitely my favorite suit.
My only complaint isn't even with the Scout, it's with Shield Recharge modules.....90CPU for the top end...like...dafuq? |

You always leave mobility out of the equation. No one can disengage and reposition like scouts can. Top end scouts and heavies both need tweaking, but they aren't as woefully underpowered as you seem to believe. |

Mobility. Not speed. Ability to jump long distances over obstacles to quickly lose your enemies. I do it constantly, it's the whole reason I play a scout in the first place. |

I couldn't agree more. I wish I could take out all my points in heavies and dropships and just dump them into scouts.....cest la vis |

Nova Knives are useless with or without sprinting, just use the sprinting bug and you'll find out. Scout Suit is underpowered, I can achieve the same mobility in a Assault Suit just by adding a Basic Kinetic Catalyzer. It needs a revamp to find its place.
You will never, ever be as mobile as a scout suit, because no suit can jump like the scout. It seems so minor, but that jump distance is huge and is my favorite advantage of the suit. It is so easy to sneak up on people, get a few kills, then disappear before they can eat through my shields, which regen to max in about 3 seconds.
I'm not saying the suits don't need looking into. If anything, I think scouts are almost fine, and assault suits are just too damn good. Just like the AR, they're far too good in all situations without any real noticeable drawbacks. |

As I said, scouts need more scout options because the shotgun is really the only weapon worth using with them right now. Why you would ever put an AR on a scout to begin with is beyond me. Scouts speed tank, it's what we do. |

Assault shotgun is 10x more viable then shotgun scout
Since you say so, it's gotta be true. All those tears have to be for a reason.

The more I read his threads on this subject, the more I'm convinced that he just has no idea how to fit anything  |
