I am just starting out and want to be sure I am headed in the right direction. I already know what I ultimately want to do weapon wise with my character, but I am not sure what I should target as my dropsuit. I plan to make a Sniper/Nova Knife type. The more I can learn about making the right builds the better.
Thanks in advance for the advice. |

Im snipeing in gallente assault suit. I dont wanted to be a logi sniper with lots of HP because I think, if your position (nest) reveald, it dosnt matter how many hp you have. Its just gameover.
So im more to profile dampening. I picked assault suit because I dont want to be only sniper so in assault suit I can spec to AV or AR rolls later. |

Honestly your best bet as a sniper would be the Amarr Logi. This is the only suit where you can carry your sniper rifle, a sidearm, and multiple equipment. Multiple equipment is key, since you'll probably get counter sniped and need to respawn where you left off (Drop Uplinks) or run out of ammo (Nanohives). As far as your sidearm goes, nova knives are fun but if you plan to defend yourself against someone who's sneaking up to your sniper nest then you already lost the stealth advantage and you'd be better off with a ranged weapon. |

Damage mods out the wazoo. If you're not gonna go Cal logi like everyone for that the Min Assault is the only other with 5 high slots with decent HP around. Though if they implement proper dmg mod stacking penalties there's no point in ever having more than 3. |

Just asking this based on things I have vaguely read and of course hopefully will have a better understanding of when I start officially playing later this week. Are Scout Suits worth having? |

Read The Role of the Sniper. It has a lot of informtion that should help you decide which path to take.

Because of the way stacking penalties work any more than 3 damage mods is absolutely pointless.

I say they are but it all depends on your play style and preferences. I have a Gallente Scout suit which has a scanning range bonus, then I have 3 range amplifier mods hooked up to it. Having this great scanning range means you are never going to get sneaked up on. But also whenever I snipe I don't like to sit in one spot for too long, so having the scanning range is also good for avoiding enemy contact when switching positions.
Still I think Amarr Logi is better overall for sniping as I mentioned before, but I have the Gallente Scout anyways because I don't snipe all the time, and when I'm not sniping I'm able to get a pretty good shotgun fit and have some fun that way whereas if I went Amarr Logi I'd have a relatively slower support man, which is still good fun but I wanted something a little more fast paced. |

Damage mod stacking penalties have been in for a while now. |
