I really want to skill into the Gallente scout, but the slot configuration on the adv suit is really really making me not do it every time I pull up the skills for it for consideration. You would think that the logical progression for this suit would be 1 high on all the variants and the std 2 lows, adv 3 lows, proto, 4 lows. So wth is up with the adv. was this some kind of mistake on CCPs part and if so (and even if not) could you please fix this to mor adiquately reflect the Gallente philosophy, CCP? |

I don't see the Adv having 2 high as a problem. What I do see as a problem is that the Pro only has 1.
Then again, CCP giveth, CCP taketh away. |

One high is enough for me because I have all of my points sunk into Gallente related skills. Not really interested in the highs. |

The Gallente scout has 40 shield regen, 70 shield. And you won't be putting plates on it. So, I've skilled to proto, only to only use advanced. It is actually more survivable, which is sad, maybe broken. |

The proto suit has 1 high and 4 low, which is good for a scan scout (four range amps, one resolution mod), or a cap runner (Kinetics
the 2/2 split is a bit strange. Putting on two shield extenders is like going for the double-ply toilet paper over the single-ply. It's not going to offer any better protection, but it'll make you feel better.

Are you saying that I am not alowed to put plates on it? Will you send me to my room if I do? The new plaits may be slightly more useful for this than the current ones, but as it stands now, I use I use the standard Dren scout with two basic plates a complex shield extender and a compact nano and do VERY well in this suit. The extra strafing speed and smaller hit box makes a lot of diferent in any engagement. It would be nice to be able to through two complex repairers on this build or one on the adv. I also have some speed builds in mind which is why the adv needs to have the three lows. It just doesn't make since for it not to. |

I've raised this issue several times but gotten no acknowledgement of whether it is as intended or a mistake - it makes absolutely no sense that the adv would have more hi slots than the proto. 1hi 3 lo would make much more sense and be far more useful. The way it is looks like they've accidentally copied the slot layout of the minmatar adv scout but given it different stats. |

The only problem is that while a Minmatar scout has every reason to dive in with a rack of defense and melee mods to go knife-trolling, a gallente scout has no business in a combat situation.
In fact, when compared to the 170% relative hp to the medium frame and comparable run speeds, going medium is a much better starting point for any kind of 'shooting' business. In fact, being within 30m of anyone capable of pulling a trigger in ANY kind of light frame is worse than pulling your pants down and asking them to go easy on you. |

Reheelly? People are so arrogant. The majority seem to really think that they have got the market cornered on what should or shouldn't be done/what can or cannot be done. *shakes his head* |

Why is that a problem? It just means Gallente scouts are suited to stuff other than face to face sniping. The bonus to profile/scan makes it a good suit for going behind enemy lines, sniper hunting and destroying equipment - the extra hi slots make it an ideal sneak hacker too.
But the main point of this thread is to highlight the inconsistency of the adv suit in the gallente light frame range. |
