Here are the Speed + eHP Statistics for both of the Scouts.
These statistics might be outdated, I'll edit when I confirm it. :)
Gallente:
Shield: 70
Armor: 130
Sprint Speed: 7.6 m/s. This is 12% faster than an Assault suit with no modules.
Minmatar: Added.
Shield: 100
Armor: 70
Sprint Speed: 7.9 m/s
As a Gallente Scout, I like the ability to choose my fights and still have the ability to have more eHP than a medium frame with no modules. It's a style of playing that's hard to master, but it's still fun. I don't snipe, and I don't go shotgun unless it's a city map (I use an AR). Instead of just chilling near the redline or in some hidden place, I move around the frontlines, call out groups of enemies for my squad mates, start raining hell, then disappear. I've seen people rock a Minmatar suit with no problems, but usually they only use their proto suits. I haven't unlocked my Gallente proto scout, but I know it will be awesome (Yes, I know it only has one high powered slot - I only need one).

I use a Complex Shield Extender. The less damage you take to your armor, the sooner you can go back into sneaky-sneaky mode.

It's not like the Minmatar Scout has a better bonus. They do more damage for melee and nova knifing, but not that many people are going down that route and even fewer are skilled at it. I don't care about the scan radius, as scan radius is a joke by itself. 10 meters on the minimap is nothing.
Proto Minmatar Scouts have 3 high slots and 2 low slots while Proto Gallente Scouts have 1 high slot and 4 low slots. Each scout requires a different set-up as you get different limitations which also include a difference in CPU (Minmatar Scouts have 230 CPU while Gallente Scouts have 250 CPU - when you upgrade your Electronics skill there will be a noticeable difference). With a proto gallente scout, I'm planning on having a basic or enhanced plate, a complex armor repper, a complex kinetic catalyzer, and a complex cardiac regulator in my low slots and one complex shield extender in my high slot. I can still fit a proto weapon, advanced sidearm, equipment and decent grenades. Would be interested in hearing other fits, minmatar or other gallente fittings.
EDIT: Hopefully, scouts will receive some sort of buff as they cannot compete like other protos can. At best, scouts play a support role; wipe out the weak so your squad mates can handle the rest. |
