Speed tanking...you don't need a ton of HP if you know how to do that well. You have to be a lot more focused when playing though because simple mistakes result in your death. Works great though once you have it figured out. |

Other suits are almost just as fast as scout suits though plus its not as effective if the other guy actually knows what he is doing 
Maybe the Minmatar assault can get close enough in speed...but to really speed tank you want speeds of 10m/s+, which only a scout can achieve.
If you pick your fights, tanks are almost irrelevant on scouts.
Also, how can you not fall in love with scouts after knifing a heavy while he desperately tries to hit you without success?  |

Unless I'm missing something I don't see an advantage they have that balances them out in comparison to other classes. Their shields regen super fast - even after being destroyed even without a regulator. They used to have an even smaller hitbox and faster strafing. That's what made them both harder to hit and fun to use. There was also this feeling that they were going to be the only class that could cloak, but i guess that will be something that everyone can do (except heavies, again...). I am hoping that the other classes suffer somewhat while cloaking. We should at least get some form of "bonus" while being cloaked that the other classes won't receive.
Tbh, it would make sense if scouts could still remain cloaked when walking (NOT running!) while all other suits have to drop their cloak when moving. |

Cloak-sprinting would make for a very tempting racial scout bonus...
LOL, you'd never see anyone on a map...EVERYONE would spec into cloaky nova knife scouts. You'd just hear random slash noises without ever seeing anyone :D |

You have to be a lot more focused when playing though because simple mistakes result in your death. Works great though once you have it figured out. You don't need a scout to speed tank, a basic light frame suit will do fine. The real question here is why go scout? They are supposed to make up for all the downsides with their incredibly low profile signature, but no one has a good enough scan radius to detect anything past spitting distance anyways.
For t he knife bonus...totally worth it. Not concerned about scan range, as a scout you can close distances quickly. |
