They lack CPU,


Every single fit i calculated with the proto suit in mind couldn't handle it because of the lack of CPU.

even with every cpu reduction skill in mind to lvl 5 (this includes shield enhancements, weapon upgrade, upgrade prof., circuitry, nanocircuitry) The suit i want will never fit onto the proto suit...

I'm really concerned for future players who will spec into the Gallante scout and find out after spending 2.4 mill SP on the suit itself that it is complete and utter ''Kitten''.

And lets not talk about the other major drawbacks this suit has, like wtf CCP?



Now don't come in here and be like ''LOL SHOTGUNSCOUT or LOLSNIPERSCOUT UNDETECTABLE'' because those arguments are just invalid seeing as a assault can do these two things 10x better.

I ask as well how are you trying to fit it are you going for the mobile killer or the scout set up.

Exactly what fit did you want on it? For my proto scout.. All i would want is 3 complex shields, 1 plate, 1 Repper, and a CPU upgrade with a Gek and a nanohive

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.

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.

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.

Their speed isn't some sort of significant advantage (only 8-10% over a Assault suit), Their reconnaissance aren't either (10% increase in both profile dampening and precision).

The only real advantage we get is a decreased hitbox and a faster recharge rate on the shields (No shield recharge delay since its still a 10s delay on depletion and only .8s faster on normal delay over a assault suit).

Now match those two advantages against the disadvantages (44.4% decreased shields, 31% decreased CPU, 1 less high slot, no sidearm if you want to use the VK1 (compared to assault suits) seems to me like the disadvantages faaaar outweigh the advantages the suit has at the moment

Dude was actually taken out by a shotgun scout (mostly of camera) to his left.

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.

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.

I agree. Add in the small hitbox too. It's awesome. Scout is my fav suit now. I like it better than my heavy tbh.

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.

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

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.

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 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.
