As someone who has used this quite extensively I fully agree. Just to make a complete fit, I have to put in 2 enhanced CPU modifiers. This takes away from the high stamina/speed which defeats the purpose of a Scout suit.
Also, 10-12% Base Speed Buff is also required. |

Scouts need scout only weapons or something, since shotguns are really the only thing worth putting on scouts, thanks to said mobility. Nova knives will be pretty sick if they let us sprint while charging them, but yea, I guess the only complaint of yours that I can get behind is that the only viable weapon for them right now is the shotgun.
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. |

Once you actually skill up into it, you realize how much of a disadvantage you are with it against other ADV suits. I have to use skill and thinking to survive, while they tank nearly double what I have, with slightly lower speed. |

Then you regret it as you see Assaults doing twice as good as you. |

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.
Yes, and the massive penalty is not being able to stand still and aim. Even a militia guy can completely take me out if I stand still for 2+ seconds in my A-series suit. |

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.
I agree it need small minor buffs, but in a whole lot of places. |
