So basically when I get my skill reset, I am spending almost 3 mill SP on ADV Minnie scout suit and proto nova knives, which leaves me just enough to get Kinetic Catalyzer to lvl 5 for 12% sprint speed increase(stacking possibly), or 144 extra HP(2 66 hp mods with 10% bonus = 12 more hp), from getting shields extension maxed out and a little extra after.
I am leaning toward Shield because 144 more hp when im trying to kill crap with knives is huge to me, but in my mind I cant quite visualize how 12%(possibly up to 20%) sprint speed would help me kill crap in comparison if when I get seen i instant die.
Or, recommend a different path after i get the crucial bits. |

I really didn't think about splitting up the sp into the advanced for both. That's a good idea, actually. Two 33 hp shield mods and two 8% kin/cats. I guess thats not bad but somewhere in my head i just get an urge to get 300 hp and roll with a militia 5% kin/cat, instead of 8%.
And yeah, It should fit, I dont use a 2nd weapon. Just use Nova knives with basic nades, basic droplink, then possibly proto shields and militia kin/cat and stam booster |

That said, when I was stabbing people I ran with a KinCat and a Cardiac Regulator. No armor repairer (honestly.... 70 armor isn't keeping me alive anyway. That way I could move fast AND jump when needed.
Just something to think about. = ) This is an excellent point..... endurance is key. If you can fit a green biotic, a red biotic and perhaps some enhanced shield extenders, this would be an excellently balanced build. You wouldn't be lopsided on shields, speed or endurance but you'd have nice jump up from the standard suit on all counts. solid.
Yeah, its very balanced, but if you check out my post, I'll have to see but I think I can fit proto shield exteneders AND militia kin/cat. So i get speed and the most shield, instead of 3-6% more speed at the sacrifice of 72-ish HP |

Okay, thanks. That helps me decide actually, I just needed to hear someone else say it so I can be reassured |

Oh do I know that : (
It would be cool if I could test this out before spending a months worth of sp into it...
but seeing as how I am probably going to focus on getting the kin/cat maxed after my shields(I still might be able to get lvl 1 or 2 kin/cat, bypassing militia and making it easier on my cpu/pg), so after 2 weeks or so I could get kin/cat maxed. I dont know, servers arent up and cant check my total sp after i get my core stuff.
But I mean, 7.9m/s sprint speed, becomes like 8.2 with the militia kin/cat, how big a difference is 8.5? |

I was under the impression that that was 5% of {5/8/12%}. not an extra 5% on movement speed...

When you consider the actual difference per bullet of (for example) a Gek with two advanced damage mods versus a Duvolle Assault Rifle (NOT a TAC) with Complex damage mods one has to consider if it's worth the extra few million SP to attain.
Generally speaking, unless you're taking down a heavy or a shield tanking Cal Logi (where's your flux grenades anyway) you're looking at one or two more bullets to drop them.
For a few million SP.
Just something to think about. = )
Yeah, that's true. Definitely thinking about it. But you have to understand, Complex shield extenders are like 5k isk a piece, which is not much at all and give good value. They only cost like 500k more then advanced i think, and I have enough for that. Sticking with ADV suits and proto knives(necessary imo), but knives and shield only proto gear on. Everything else is adv or basic |

Some more good advice, thanks peeps.
And I just found out something huge. I was calculating that I had to invest into Light Dropsuits lvl 5 just to hit minnie scout. Now I see its lvl 3. That saves a whopping 1 million sp off my previous calculations. I can officially get both kin/cats proto and complex shields. Cant actually put both on a adv scout, since that would go over the limit, but i can meander 2 complex and a advanced kin/cat most likely. So i get both, huzzah!
Also, have to wait another day just for reset, maybe even longer. Sigh, this is boring as Im getting excited for my new build |

Yeah will double check in the meantime now that things are different then before.
Yeah I have one on my Adv G. Scout right now along with a kin/cat, both militia.
I dont think I can fit a regulator though, unless i toss grenades out, because I already got rid of a secondary weapon(like AR/SM/pistol), would like to keep nades just as my aoe long range group thing. |
