Friends are extremely overrated. Just kidding. Scouts United should be your one stop shop for sqauding with other scouts. Also, our corp (R 0 N 1 N) provides that opportunity as well. Those opportunities can be limited due to fact that our corp is small at the moment. We are growing so things will pick up.

Keep absorbing all of the info you can from here and corp chat and you will soon find that you are better at being a scout. Everyone providing information on this thread is here to advance both our knowledge and ability in regards to being a scout.
They have all expressed their desire to further our roles. Take advantage of it by squaring with them. It will up your game. However, be patient. Scout is hard mode.

Kodho

We're in the same corp lol, I take advantage of every lesson lightning throws at me, he knows

I'm also in the scout united channel too but it's pretty quiet even though I see a lot of players in there. First thing I did in this game was go straight to scouting without even knowing the game lol. So I guess I just jumped right into the mouth of the beast without even learning how to walk first lol but it's a lot of fun, especially when I get mail complimenting me

Yeah, most of the mail I get is love mail.

I wish I got more hatemail. I once went 20-0 in a match and a friend went 13-6. They sent him hatemail and I was all raging in crap over why I didn't get any Pirate

I've been playing as a scout for about 2 months now and didn't really check the boards often. I'm a shotgun scout with a k/d of 1.38 and my kills are 2,727 and 1,979 deaths. Went straight into being a scout when I first started this game lol. I enjoy the high mobility, low damage tolerance gameplay because I'm use to this style ever since playing Team Fortress 2. Started with a .98 k/d and I'm only getting better now. I use the pistol instead of the smg, feels more satisfying when I kill an enemy running away with it lol. Anyways, hope to learn some more tricks of being a scout shotty in this game.

Nice to see you here! I'm sure you will get added soon Lol, the lack of a baseball bat is what's killing me :P I used the baby blaster so I can do without a double jump, but it would be nice if this game had one lol. What would be really nice is if the breach shotgun acted more like the force-a-nature, two quick shots with a quick reload, would give the scout shotty a different gun to use.

Do I just send in my updated stats every week or something or what? Hi Jackal, All you have to do is let us know if you run the Scout Suit less regularly. Otherwise, I'll pull your stats periodically and update them along with the Community's. The (0, 0) next to your name will but be updated Saturday or Sunday to reflect changes in Killcount/KDR you've observed since being added to the Registry. When 1.5 is released, these metrics will be reset to (0, 0). We use this system (Delta Kills, Delta KDR) as a means of measuring how a given build is affecting us individually and as a whole. I hope this answers your questions. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. - Shotty Oh okay, I understand how the system works now. I had no idea we even had a leaderboard lol. Had to actually check ingame and welp, there's a leaderboard. I'm terrible D: thanks for the info though. Don't expect me to run anything but a scout suit, nothing more satisfying than sneaking up on a heavy and killing it in 2-3 hits, especially an expensive suit.
Amruk Jackal D3LTA ACADEMY 6	Posted - 2013.09.21 14:41:00 - [6] - Quote How are you guys using the shotgun? It seems to work fine for me, as long as I use my active scanner lol. Went 21--0 last night as a scout shotty and was just in the zone :D I still think that the breach shotgun should be more like the force-a-nature from TF2, 2 quick shots with a pretty fast reload speed to make up for only having 2 shots per clip. I tried using the breach shotgun and found it VERY terrible, it didn't even OHK anything for me. Even when the target was standing still and I shot from point blank, it'd leave enough hp for him to turn around before the second shot goes off at which point I just whip out my pistol since that seems to be faster than waiting for eternity for the second shot to come out.
Amruk Jackal D3LTA ACADEMY 7	Posted - 2013.09.23 20:55:00 - [7] - Quote Active scanner also helps the team as well. I find it very useful for forming flanks on the enemy. I'll go around back while they'll take care of the front and we end up slaughtering the other team

What are they? When I have an hour to play, these days, my choices seem to be as follows: a) join a random squad. if there even ARE squads formed(where I play, most times there arent now!). These usually suck. I'm not even sure why they exist. No orbitals used, no objectives called out... ????? b) wait around for 15 minutes to join a squad in corp, or a chat room.. eventually make it into a match, which may or may not last more than 5 minutes... then someone leaves squad, and so we spend another 5-10 minutes waiting to "get full squad"again. Result: 2 games an hour. And the squads often arent very good ones either :( c) just lone wolf it. Less "fun", but 3-4 games an hour. Which means twice the SP/hour. Yeaaahhh ,I'm gonna go with c. sigh. PS: edit: I forgot to mention on the american servers, the random squad invites, by 12 year olds. No, I'm not speaking figuratively. I mean, literally. 12 year olds. There is something seriously wrong with the 12 year olds in america today. (and probably the bigest thing is that their parents let them play games like Dust? ) I think there are worst games that parents let their kids play lol. Like GTA V or Manhunt when it first came out. Basically any Rockstar game lol. Can always join more channels and make friends with people from other corps, I find that could be another way to get a squad. Or just play a few games while waiting for someone in your corp to invite you to a squad, no waiting required.
Amruk Jackal D3LTA ACADEMY 10	Posted - 2013.10.08 18:42:00 - [9] - Quote Did my scanning dampening calculations and I have 27 dB, that should be enough right to avoid the proto scan except the 18 dB one right? Feels a little easy that I managed to already be undetected by a proto active unless it's the 18 dB one since I'm still running an advance suit.

I'm getting killed by militia geared fresh off the academy people that simply jump a bit and my shots become useless. Game is pissing me off too much with it's stupid hit detections.

Also playing a whole squad of those guys had me become more aggressive lol. I didn't even know we had a scout channel either. It's Scouts United for anyone who doesn't know or is late to the party like me lol. Now squad with me you other scouts and kill or get Gallente faction warefare wins for the shotgun.

He literally was crouching and shooting the shotgun from a pretty far distance away like it was an assault rifle. But the AR is a plasma weapon and it has pretty long range, so by that logic the shotgun should have a pretty large range itself due to being a plasma weapon. Welp, can't argue with that logic. I've been using the shotgun wrong all this time, I'll be a better scout shotty at it's optimal range which is where the assault rifle is

I can't really guard an obj. for being afraid I'll show up on the enemy's radar. Sometimes I don't even know if it was me or the objective that picked the enemy up. Why does the objective even have range and precision?? That to me is a Gal scout's role. I sneak by with out any enemy's line of sight and a heavy spots me and kills me.I think that was BS. In the end it's a shame that we scouts get picked up by these null cannons. In other news: I got my pro scout finally. and I'm leaving the phoenix to be part of Necrom0ngers. The top players from phx started it. Grats on the proto, and hope the new corp treats you well. As for guarding objectives, you are safe when they are under your teams control, they do not give you away. They share intel with the team that controls them, and uncontrolled ones don't share with anyone. I could be wrong though, i tend to hover at the edge of my radar, or patrol through varied routes between two objectives. If we have the lead and majority of objectives I'll run through scan range of an enemy one to lure them in and wait for them to come through the predictable paths into my RE The crappy part is the other end of the spectrum where if the enemy controls the point, they can see you on their radar which makes being a stealthy scout pretty useless. They need to fix that for scouts.

They need to fix that for scouts. Yes, this is true. This is why the 46db on objectives scan would be great. Far objectives are usually good targets though. Been working at a few tactics that use our advantages though with some success. Once the team has hit an objective most defenders will abandon post to get to the one being hacked.... jackals... this is when we hit the abandoned objectives. sometimes a fatboy stays (they hate running) so watch for them. Create a diversion- I drop uplinks near one objective and move fast to the next one, this way i can use the team as a distraction and if things go well we have two objectives. Our stealth still works for circumventing the reds movements, and i find hacking skill helps reduce exposure time... even at level three without putting in a module it makes a difference. The objectives that give me the most trouble are the ones with a CRU right next to them. Once you off the resistance you can't take both fast enough. Even with a partner split on the two enemies spawn to quick, a third on watch would help. More ideas and strategies are always welcome Mine is to scan the area first to see if there's any reds around. I kinda just skimmed through so I didn't see mention of having a 46 dB passive scan on objectives lol. Only problem I have is if the reds notice me they'll make a beeline for the objective before I can hack it, need to get my hacking abilities up lol.

Amruk Jackal R 0 N 1 N 39	Posted - 2013.11.06 02:29:00 - [25] - Quote Did some calculations with whether I wanna change to a Gallente suit or stick with a Minmatar suit. With a proto Gal suit I can have 4 low slots with 2 comp kin/1 basic damp/1 comp stam with a sprint speed of 10.72 and a 24 meter passive scan radius. A proto Min with 1 comp kin is 9.71 and with 2 comp kin is 11.12 with a scan profile of 31.5 if you have the suit and profile dampening skills maxed out. With a comp shield extender I can have 157 shields and 156 hp on a Gal suit with what I posted above. A Min proto suit would have more shield hp though but if I want to avoid proto scans I'm forced to take a basic profile dampener with me and basically be whole point slower than a Gal proto running 2 comp kin modules. I obviously haven't put in the PG/CPU requirements because I figured it would be exceeding somewhere so this is just all hypothetical. But if you want to avoid a proto scan and I'm sure in the future people will start using one once they get enough sp for it, a Min scout suit might not be beneficial. Like I said, just speaking hypothetically here but switching to a Gal suit sounds mighty fine right now.

On the one hand, if I'm caught in the open and stupidly standing still, yea I'm still dead. However, 2xcomplex shield extenders, have significantly reduced my number of deaths, in situations when I can run for cover. Another 100 more, would reduce it further, I'd wager. I don't believe it will matter to me honestly. Like I said, the way TTK is now, everyone dies the same regardless of how much eHP you have. I prefer TTK to pre-1.6 then to what it is now, I had a stack of paper as armor before, now I only have a sheet of paper.
