Scouts aren't meant for KDR or high levels of combat. They are meant for scouting, and the weapons should be used more as a personal defense rather than actively seeking targets. If that's how you want to play than the assault suit is waiting for you.

That said, a buff to scout suits wouldn't be bad.

So what your saying is:


That you are worried that your current tactics will not work when the game changes?

In eve we have this saying... it's a saying that has held true through out all the ages and patches, but was shouted during the infamous "nano nerf", which was forever ago.. most of you most likely were still stuck on kiddy games at that time... but I digress and this is saying is simply

"Adapt or die"


Scouts will find their light, maybe they will do something else... maybe they were never intended by CCP to be running around with shot guns blasting peoples faces. They are highly mobile and maybe that will go into something else....


Of course clone goo is > then everything else.....

I get mad cause fleet commanders do not want to bring some of my most fav ships in the game... but you know what generally there is valid reasons why....


ohh also.. I dont think combat commanders will bring anyone along that can only play 1 class...

Adaptability > everything else

Scouts = Survival Hard mode in cqc

Well the good shotgun scouts always seem to get behind me without me noticing a damn thing, the bad ones play it like it's an assault suit...

The only anvantage on scout shotgunners is scanning range. With skill & modules he actualy can watch you behind wall, where you going, what you doing. Almost 50 meters passive scan range with lvl 3 Long Range Scanning & 2 Enchanced Range Amplifiers, compere to assault d.suit 15 meters... you just need pick up right time to attack, thats why you can't notice him. Though scanning & detection mechanics doesn't work properly... tested many many times.

And yes, it is Light Assault dropsuit, there is no Scouts in Dust 514 :)

all ive done is put sp into scanning and stealth skills, 100k to go on scan range and its done, thank god. pray tell, what makes you think the scanning and detection mechanics dont work? because from my point of view they work perfectly

I didn't say it don't work, i said its not work properly or 100% every time as it should.

I still wish they would give us a scout suit variant with only a sidearm but considerably faster sprint speed.

With the addition of some new equipment, scouts might see relevancy that they've been missing.


MAAAAYYYBEEEE


Otherwise the original poster's doom will come to pass. Scouts are already pretty questionable tactical investments.

The scout is meant to break through lines and set up spawns in key locations, break a line quickly hack something if you notice no one is near then run away again. Simple as that and hey it works so many times I hoped for a Drop uplink behind them instead of being stuck on one half of the map even by random spawn point.
