Go minmatar scout and nova knives

Because I'm nuts.

Or hopeful.

Or just stupid.

Logi suits are better than scout in every conceivable way. I would do much better in a logi suit, yet I actively am choosing to not spec into FoTM. May the SG give me strength and I pray for all the brave souls who do as I do. I can only hope that one day scouts find a purpose.


Goodbye HP, I knew thee well.

Go minmatar scout and nova knives

Cloaking will be an equipment available to all suits.

Will it?!

Where's your source?

In EVE this isn't the case completely. While there are cloaking options for all ships, they have significant disadvantages to those that are offered by the spec/cov ops frames

I am so tempted to do the same. I am torn.

I am currently scout, planning to respec logi.


My reason being is the ease in which you can farm sp's in ambush after cap. Capping at 1k is almost guaranteed as a slayer logi because of the current wp mechanics afforded to logi's additional equipment slots.

Really, really, hard though. I love scout, it's my playstyle. My hope is that with the additonal SP's i'll be able to farm with time invested i'll be able to fill out my slayer logi tree and throw some secondary sp's into my scout.

The second item is a Cloaking Field. This sneaky bit of kit will not only make you (almost) invisible to other combatants, it will also blind turret AI targeting systems. It isnGÇÖt perfect invisibility, scanners will still pick you up if you havenGÇÖt masked your signal well enough, motion will disrupt the field to some extent and weapon fire will cause the field to shut down. This means it will take some skill to use to its maximum potential. This item is going to be a real game changer, particularly for Scout dropsuits which have been screaming out for stealth gear.

Basically they only say it will help scouts because we have been crying out for a buff for some time... Naturally our lower scan profile will help but yet again... Logis can do it better.

Logis have worse base stats out of all the suits and no sidearm at the cost of more slots. If a logi can do a scout's job better it's because they paid more (isk and SP) to do it with their fittings. A scout's base stats determine their role and bonuses to that role. Base stats with no fitting wise, scouts have the advantage because of their higher stamina and the smaller hit box. Logis can just be made to be faster and tankier for more isk.

Honestly, I think that's part of the problem. I mean, it's fun to have a lot of slots, guys, even if it means less base stats, because everyone loves customising their suits. With the scout suits customisation is very limited compared to a logi or an assault suit. That combined with the facts that scout has very few slots and also doesn't have great base stats either and you have a situation where a scout is very a unattractive suit.

The other thing is, that no matter how much logi pays in ISK, it just shouldn't be a better scout than a scout is. At least in my mind that makes absolutely no sense.

lower CPU/PG and slot allocation actually helps too, because it forces me to choose what's necessary between what's just extra fluff.

When Caldari scouts are added, I hope the drawbacks to shield tanking will be added as well. In EVE shields increase your scan signature and make it easier for enemies to lock onto you faster. In Dust, I would presume that the previous would be copied and pasted while your hit box is sufficiently larger until your shields deplete. If not, Caldari scouts will be as broken as Caldari Logis appear to be.

Gallente is the better scout period. The low slots are scouts need and the scanning is what I'm going to specialize in. But a logi could still due a scan roll almost as good as me and walk in with drop uplinks, nanos, and shield boosters to be almost twice as survivable.

Worse is better because its worse.

Good argument.

Goodbye HP, I knew thee well.

I going Scout too.... my advice to you will be this ;

Forget about K/D ratio, and say hello to WP. Scout is a WP machine.

Maybe, but unless your squad is rock solid and tactically deep, they're going to want you to be running something with more punch and less "I just got killed".
