Hey guys so with the uprising outcome we have noticed a few things going up and going down, such as the scout class. Now before being a scout was fun, you could sneak up behind the enemy and shoot them in the back with a shotgun, but now with active scanners and some of the new guns its harder than ever, now it still has its upsides such as speed and scanner dampening but still. When using the scout you should not ever want to go head to head with someone, come from their side, flank them the result, you get allot of kills, and even more kill assists. Now I'm only stating the scout dropsuits, what about the scout vehicles? Well honestly I don't see the point in scout vehicles other than the speed, you do get dampening, but I don't see how it will work. I mean your a LAV with a gun on the back and a glowing fuel tank, whose not going to see that? sure you won't appear on their radar, but they can clearly see you. The dropships I can see though, you can get in and out fast and dodge rail gun and forge gun fire better than the rest, witch I Personally like, but one hit from a missile and you are not coming back. Tanks are just a stupid idea I think, I mean your a big fat target waiting for a forge gun to just happen to see you driving through a combat zone and fire once, you can probably guess the rest. Now I'm not saying that these classes have their upsides but I'm just saying that i do not see the point in using one, mind you though, I used to be a scout shot gunner, I could jump into the middle of a batch of reds, fire my shotgun a few times, and leave without a scratch, but now I can't get twenty feet in my scout before getting picked off by a roaming squad of assault-men.
Please put in the comments if you think this is very informing, not whether or not you agree just how informing you found this Thank You! |

A scout dropship that is quiet, has a low profile signature, and is quick could be really fun once we get bigger maps. |

Scout vehicles (Btw, did we get black ops HAVs back yet? Those are scout HAVs) were put in too early. Like you said, profile doesn't matter when everyone can see and/or hear you anyway. |

the profile sig in general feels bit broken, like you said, you might not see that thing on ur map but you sure as hell can see it on your screen. From my point of view, ccp could amuse themselves with the idea of making targets not sighted on radar somewhat transparent, not much but enough to make it harder to hit em when they move and harder to spot em when they're still |

Profile dampening means nothing. No one is seeing a scout on the screen period with or w/o dampeners. The radius of passive scanners is so low now that your signature does not get picked up unless you are breathing in someone's face anyway. For people who pride themselves that they can sneak up on reddots becaus of dampeners - you are fools the passive scanner system that CCP put in place this build lets assaults sneaking up on scouts from behind be as effective as scouts sneaking up on assaults - nothing lights ups on the radar anymore period.
With passive scanning broken there is nothing that a scout is good at this build anymore. |

Scouts are a lot of fun this build. They feel super mobile, or at least the minmatar scouts do. All other suits feel slow and clunky in comparison. |

Agree that all others feel slow...and i have yet to see someone spin around on me due to my signature...but that may be due to scout passives. |
