crappy fantasy advantage? watch the youtube vid, you don't get hit by bullets, thats the advantage. I see it and I hear it from squad mates, many corps, every day.

but this isnt hopping strafing scouts, this isnt sneaking point blanking from behind scouts, this isn't people spraying and praying in the general direction of a scout, it is scouts charging head on dead center in the reticle and bullets doing sweet FA.

It's bullshit.

And you want a BUFF.

lol.

L2AIM is going to be the reply or WE GOT SKILLZ.

Try it yourself. Then get back and apologize.

OK you want to lend me your account for the weekend?

or did you want me to field some dragonfly build with weps and modules I haven't skilled in to, then be shocked when I get butchered by a 5mil SP AR dude?

Pardon me for necroing this thread for a bit but I got a point to make here.

After doing my research regarding fitting scout suits (particularly the prototype level one) I have come to the conclusion that there is one fit that can manage having all high and low slots including the primary fitted with complex and prototype without the need for the CPU or PG upgrade.

Coincidentally, this fit happens to favor a particular profession that most folks here seem to dismiss as wasteful or useless. Can you guess what it is?

Scout vk.1
3x complex sidearm damage modifiers
3x complex kinetic catalyzers
1x Ishukone Nova Knife

Because the profession doesn't utilize the equipment slots so often and the grenades are seldom used in this profession, those extra slots are excluded. But here is the thing. You need level 5 in all of the following skills for this to fit.

Sidearm Weapon Upgrade
Sidearm Weapon Upgrade Proficciency
Circuitry
Cmbat Engineering

It will be a very tight fit but the suit will work as intended especially if you have profile dampening skills maxed out. And if the point of this thread is that there is no way of making a good scout suit without needing a CPU upgrade module, then it looks like that myth is busted.

Ps: The math I used is posted on my diaries.

They lack CPU,


Every single fit i calculated with the proto suit in mind couldn't handle it without a CPU chip, 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.

Interesting fit you have there.... looks mighty squishy though. lets hope no one sees you coming

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

In all honesty here, the scout suit was never primarily intended to act like an assault suit and the fit I have here fully utilizes pure speed (10.15m/s) as a means of speed tanking (think Dramiel orbiting a Megathron).

Currently I only have a standard nova knife and only able to use enhanced kinetic catalyzers but there have been occasions where I have succeeded in standing toe to toe with heavies. With just these basic things and I have been able to evade red line encampments while I hacked objectives that were extremely close to the enemy's base.

But again, the all-proto-all-complex fit I posted above is the only practical fit I can find. The OP is correct that for any other profession, the CPU upgrade module is needed for this suit. Of course, this is all assuming CCP doesn't change the CPU/PG of the suit during the next update.

k

P.S i don't believe it i know it, i've been running scout this entire build and i know the assault and logi suit, can do everything the scout suit can do 10x better.

I'm leaving heavies out of the equation since they really have their own Perks and drawbacks
