no suit can avoid the scan equipment. With my current scout with lvl 4 everything in scanning, running 1 adv module of every type, there are still some people I can't find. I liked the way it is...was |

But now it's not a "scout". What role is it supposed to have on the battlefield other than the initial push for the objective?
I am very sad |

And I only get 1 equipment slot on my scout suit, and I will need that for nanohives to resupply myself (because I'm often behind enemy lines with a shotty or using the ammo sucking MD). This build looks like it should be renamed The Rise of the Logi, since it can do everything all the other suits thought they were designed for, better. |

what ladwar is talking about is that sig radius does not effect whether someone will show up when you point in their direction or not, that is a range thing only. From the mouth of a dev. |

Maybe that's the 360-¦ range and there's a hidden multiplier for, say, ~90-¦ in the direction you're facing? Or not, who knows... My experience is that the chromosome scanner wouldn't pick up people behind me unless they got *really* close, and that was with maxed skills.
Can't help but wonder what good the low sig of a scout will do if everyone is undetectable so lets hope that won't be the case :P.
The proto scan equipment has a scan precision of 15... No suit can avoid detection now... |

This is the way they want the scout to run.
Minmatar scout runs nova knives and shotgun/submachine gun. equipment slot is scanner. Low slots speed modules and profile dampeners(maybe not even that). high slots shield extenders and melee damage modules.
He uses his speed to run from cover to cover, scans out his prey, and goes for the knife. shotgun/smg is used only when he fails to kill the guy in a slash or two.
Gallente scout also runs scan equipment, but instead puts range modules on his low slots and (assuming the bonus effects the scanner too), hangs close to the main pack, scanning for threats on the regular, using the gallente AR to engage enemies between scans. He might have a scan range of like 200m.... |

10 m after ~10+ sp is tiny. you realize the inside ring on your radar is 25? 10 m is like the shotgun sweetspot. 5 m wont do you any good. You wont even see the high profile heavy sneak up on you with a nova knife in time to react. |

stacking penalties are in place. and you'll need 77% dampening on the gallente... what would that take? Does it have the CPU to do it? |

And remember that proto suits are going to be much rarer in a few hours |
