Finally played some PC last night for the first time in 1.8 and was a bit of an eye opener.

2 matches in a row on PFC; Dogs of War Gaming on Orbital Artillery and Molon Labe on Reseach Facility.

1st one I was in the complex basically being a constant scan beacon for the team. Didn't really do a lot other than sit under one of the alcoves cloaked most of the time. Got a few hacks on B and the CRU and killed the same scout who kept trying to cloak across the road from C to the CRU. They put up a real good fight and I even ended up getting scanned once right at the end of the match but we won. Only 2 deaths and a handful of kills but good fun was had.

Molon Labe was very different. I tried to do what I used to always do and harass the enemy home point. Was very successful for about half the match but then they sent in their own scouts to combat me; either gallente or well dampened so my passive scan gal couldn't pick them up, even with 2x comp prec. Died to those damn CRs far too many times but did well nonetheless. Once a gal or two set up home in a socket, it's really damn difficult to take it back without at least 3 buddies backing you up. Definitely need to invest in something stronger than my pistol for those sneaky bastards; I'm thinking mass driver but then I'd need to get the magsec too, so that I still have both armor and shield tankers covered. Anyway, after a while more or less gave up on the outside point and went to help in the complex, which was much nicer. Could see everyone, snuck in for a cheeky cloak hack on A but a friendly heavy gunned me down trying to shoot through the objective and didn't see me in the way! lol

Yeah, so had lots of fun, went up against Haerr once or twice and overall learnt a few things. I'm thinking that I might actually get that minmatar scout I've been eyeing up every since they announced the hack speed bonus but probably not for the reason everyone would think... I want to use it as my passive scanner suit! 3 highs 3 lows at proto if I'm not mistaken? 3 x comp prec would pick up all but the most dampened scouts and 3 x comp range would give me more scan range than the caldari maxed out because they only get 2 low slots.

Django's thoughts for the day anyways...

Oh yeah and damned glad Appia wasn't in the ML match! ;)
