Not really, a scout is really a recon style player. Not an attempt at abusing their speed and smaller hit box while trying to compensate for their lack of health. That is what I mean.
Sorry if that came off kinda harsh. Was just trying to say how it is to be used as opposed to the way it was designed. |

I believe the scout is infact suppose to be a mobile killer. I believe the scout is supposed to be a scout- thus the name. As far as CPU, I've never had a problem with it. Then again, I haven't skilled far into it yet. Hmm.. There are different ways a scout can be looked at. I personally play it as a mobile killer on my alt. I think I do pretty well with it. Also to Reflex: I see what you mean. There is no point of the extra equipment since you won't be able to fit anything there anyways lol. A CPU upgrade is the only thing to get around it... The only suit that actually needs it lol.
I agree with Djinn there should be unlimited ways to do a scout just like the other suits.
This is just not the way it is right now though. The scout is very limited to being a scout and a really good players interestingly played mobile killer. Thought the mobile killer is rather limited as opposed to an assault it is only really used by those who enjoy the scout. It can really excel in the area of the scout recon but, the game kinda hurts it there with maps that are so close together along with the CQC based weapons. When we go back to scopes and the maps really open up I feel that the cloak and scanner type scout will be great along with the cloak and dagger style as well. The mobile killer will get better along with these to given its faster movement and the distance for gun game will change a lot to.
I run a scout now it is nothing but a 6000 ISK Dragon Fly set up like a poor mans Assault. This is because I went into a DS and am just now getting to put SP elsewhere and that is the only way I have to play it right now but that will change with time given my SP gain.
Don't get me wrong I am not saying that the scout doesn't need a buff for me I would like to see it go to scan precision, scan radius, scan profile, and a small speed buff. The CPU/PG should be looked at given its abilities as well but not saying it really needs to do a lot there. |

CCP needs to rethink how they are doing suits as a whole.
Scouts lack CPU.
Assaults lack PG.
There are no skills to lower PG for fitting items like there is for CPU. Not hijacking thread my man, just stating they need to look at ALL suits not just scout.
Armor Upgrades decreases PG for plates and maybe reppers not sure about the reppers though. I can see your issue though no one runs plates really but heavies, since shields are by far the way to go right now. |

All in all the scout is weak right now and I don't mean EHP or CPU/PG. I mean as a whole. But they are the most fun and difficult to play. That alone for some players is enough to play it. No it may not be very competitive right now but give it time it will get better. And until it does for all the things that are weak I will continue to play them.
Hurrah for armor, dropships, and scouts. One day you will fear us until then, well we will try and make you fear us a little. |

Even a militia guy can completely take me out if I stand still for 2+ seconds in my A-series suit. 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. Don't disregard the AR scout so fast. They are actually quite good.
Also Nova Knives are a great side arm you move like lightning. But you have to know how to play cover with only one real weapon. Which is something you should learn as a scout anyway. lol |
