Ghost reporting in.
Just about a month deep into the game and about 2.5k Kills deep (1.4 k/d, 1.5 W/L)
ADV Minja with Knives, Scanners, and SMG's.
For those who haven't used scanners, they are excellent in finding the "hole" in the enemy line. Scan away and slip in to do some massive knifing. The run away screaming when people finally get whats up lol. |

You see, I have an ADV Quantum Scanner, and I love it! But with so little CPU and PG, I can't afford to run the darn thing without sacrificing what little shields I have.
They are effective in finding the "gaps" in the strawberries defenses, and allows us to track our opponents through walls, and is an invaluable component.
+1. Everyone needs to try this.
Also, @Shotty
I love this registry! I was playing a round today and noticed a familiar name on the scoreboard before heading in. It was WhyCantIDie. I was running around on ambush, and saw 2 people fall to ProtoKnives by him.
So I head to that area (which was clear by then) and see a Scout running with knives.
I pull out mine and melee the air at him. And so it began. The most intense 30 seconds of my Dust Career.
We were both rocking proto knives and Minja's, so one shot was death (which was why it lasted so long). I managed to catch him with a well-timed swipe as he attempted to run and turn. Sent him a message afterwards telling him how awesome it was.
And it was all thanks to your freaking awesome job with this registry. +2 |

I envision 6 guys jumping and running in circles around those poor 12 mediums. They probably had no idea how to react to this.

In OMS, it's amazing, but there's no point. It's really hard to notice other scouts doing the same, but I'm positve it happens. In skirm. I tip my hat to those scouts who go across the map with their one-equipment backpacks and hack that point. It's truly a small blessing.
I turn the tide in our favor and win. I can see this clearly. Sometimes when I go CQs, I am glad for the brave folks who hack objectives across the map it helps a ton!
It works in PC's at rare points. Played a game vs. OSG and happened to notice that they left E unguarded except for one guy. Knifed him, and hacked the objective. 5 people spawned in right before the hack finished and I ran back to the bridge. They seemed to forget about my teammates as they chased me down and ran into my teams fire on open ground. We took the objective and held it for awhile until they retook their anchor.
Not a big victory, but defiantly turned the tide. We won by about 3 ticks on the MCC, and that cap probably won the game in the long run. |

Fourth Rule of Knife Club: Only two scouts to a fight. Fifth Rule of Knife Club: One fight at a time Brothers Sixth Rule of Knife Club: No medium Frames, No Heavy Frames. Seventh Rule of Knife Club: Fights will go on as long as they have to. Eighth and Final Rule of Knife Club: If it is your first night at Knife Club, you have to fight. |

OR just switch weapons and knife it out right there on the spot.
Check back a few pages. Me and WhyCantIDie did this awhile ago. Just whip out the knives and melee the air. People get the message

It's good by itself, but once you get sharpshooter and Proficiency up to 3, it will really start to tear though people at close to mid range. I use it to kill wounded enemies or to get people to back off when they try to chase. |

I've got the Covenant Suit, and both dragonfly suits. If I really need to make some ISK quick I go in an ambush with those, but I haven't done that this month.
Yeah, imagine if you only had 2 low slots :(
the extra high slots are nice, but my suit doesnt have enough cpu/pg to make up for it. |

Here is my confession.
I put an assault rifle on my scout suit, dumped the stamina and kept the speed. I did really well though. It functions great as a mid-range hit and run character. Use cover from mid range, and light people up, then use your speed to get back to cover or flank really fast. I still sprint at about 8.7 m/s and have around 300 eHP on my ADV suit, split half and half armor and shields.
Also, I have wanted to jump into thunderdome for awhile. Anyone wanna do this with me? Watched the video, and there is a supreme lack of scouts |

Honestly, I haven't used an AR at all for the last 6 months, so couldn't give a balanced comparison. That said, especially as a scout, you can close to SMG distance really easy and most AR users play well within the optimal range anyway because they don't actually know their limits. The M209 also has really high DPS if you can get into that range; just make sure your secondary is something with some decent range, like a scrambler pistol ;)
The M209 can rip through players if you are accurate. You should hit with 95% of your shots in CQC and about 75% at longer ranges.
In CQC, I believe that it's DPS is higher than an AR. Need to do some number crunching. |

Really hoping for some scout love soon so things like this don't happen I'm just guessing that he just havent faced one of the good scouts out there. I'm not as good but I sure want to try my luck and use my knife on that guy Truth be told I barely use my knives anymore :( they are just unreliable at the moment even more so my remote explosives/proxi mines I loved them when they worked but i can't rely on them to work,if I ran solo this wouldn't be a problem but I'm in a corp and I have to preform the best I can.
Yeah, my corp is having me switch to Shotgun/SMG combo instead of Knive/SMG. And it's true, the shotgun is a more reliable CQC weapon against multiple opponents.
So, I'm grinding this week toward a K5 Specialist. Was told by a friend not to go proto as it wasn't worth the SP. Any thoughts? |

On paper, use a Breach Shotgun. It has amazing damage over range, and easily annihilates targets with it's high DMG.
In reality, use what shotty said. With hit detection the way it is now, you will need multiple shots to kill targets, and the 2 rounds the Breach has isn't enough. |

We do know that the Devs took note of the Scout Community's declining performance. Anyhow, I'm glad you brought this up, PseudoSnipre. When 1.3 is released, I intend to reset our performance statistics so we can see right away if the new build helps or hurts us. I'm slightly butthurt that Scouts didn't get a Hotfix in 1.2. I'll be supremely butthurt if we get boned again in 1.3. We'll know in a couple weeks. - Shotty GoBang If this helps any, vehicle scanners dont show up on the users radar and people around me have mentioned a lack of REDS popping up when activated. Side note I am not departed as a scout but trying a different roll. Vehicle remote repairing. While I am a scout, GAL assault, and a tanker ( I do use the scout more), I will be focusing less on kill as basically, being a giant underpaid repper. So yeah, being tri-specced. i hope this doesnt kick me from this board but if so, i will stay active here. I'll be hard mode like the rest of yah.
I have a friend that runs Rep tool on a scout. He runs from person to person repping super fast, and then getting out of harms way.
It would be cool if we had a light suit with two equipment slots (hinted at for the minmatar). This would give us loads of possibilites. I could have DL's and Scanners (scout the area, and set up a secure drop link), or Injector and Rep tool (run through the battle and save soldiers in time, plus to rep them quickly and get out).
What I really want (suit wise) is an extra low slot for Minne Proto. What do I want? (ARMOR REP) When do I want it? (As fast as CCP can possibly do it which is not a very good chance of it happening anytime soon but I will still wait for it! *takes a breath*) |

*Takes seat at the bar, and starts throwing knives at the dart board*
Well, I kinda use it as an Assault Scout class. I'm all business at medium range with the AR, and I ditch the AR and pull out these knives at close range.
I still use the SMG when I play on maps where I will never leave the compound, but on some of the larger maps, I pull of the AR, because It will really suit me better.

Checking back in here. For those who knew me, I kinda took a break after 1.3 got too much to handle. With the start of school, I didn't have time but 1.4 seems to be really good for the assassin gameplay that I love (stay off radar, stab those who aren't paying attention and shred suprises with an SMG). So I am updating Dust514 while I am at school and will see you guys back in the game in a little bit.

Run the kit as a hit and run class with knives, taking enemies by suprise, and then switching to the SMG to discourage pursuit. The M-1 Nades will flat out kill people if they aren't careful and can soften up those who are.
IF you play smart and stay off the radar, this will be an effective hit and run kit. |

Okay, I need to ask some questions from a Gal Scout.
I have run minnie suit since the get-go. I love how I can have 217 shields and 74 armor and still run like the dickens. I love how quickly I can get back in the fight because of using shields. However, I find my use in a squad a bit lacking, as I can never run useful items like Range amplifiers and codebreakers. If I run these items, I sacrifice my speed.
So, here are my questions.
1.) Is the racial bonus to Range amplification really noticeable in this patch? On paper, it looks freaking fantastic (20m radius = 3.14(20^2)= 1256m^2 which would cover 1/5 of an american football field.
2.) How much eHP does a Gal scout normally run at? I am worried about how this would affect my combat capabilities. (also, try and keep in mind my thoughts as to running a team oriented scout suit. I would only have 1 low slot for armor as I would use Red/green pill in my low, along with a range amplifier)
3.) From a hacker: How noticeable is the hacking skill + codebreaker. In short, will I be able to sneak into an objective and quickly hack and GTFO.
I will happily field any questions about a Minnie scout in return.
Ghost out. |

Hi Ghost, I'd advise caution before switching from Minnie to Gal, as we're merely weeks away from better Nova Knife mechanics. On the topic of squad support, I highly recommend running an Active Scanner. Shared squad-sight is supposed to be disabled, so stacking Range Amps won't benefit your buddies. Short of dropping fancy Uplinks, Recon is a Scout's best bet at contributing to his squad. And nothing beats the Active Scanner when it comes to Recon. If you're willing to sacrifice speed, the Pro Gal makes for a decent armor tank (Marauder comes to mind). But I'd take a Minnie's shields and base speed over the Gal's armor any day. Guess it comes down to your choice of weaponry and playstyle. Seems to me more folks are running anti-armor weaponry than anti-shield weaponry. At the moment, I'd say a Shield Scout is better than an Armor Scout for hit-and-run. Once knives are squared away, you guys are gonna be deadly in CQC. My two cents as a GalScout. o7 PS: Radar's one of our most experienced. He routinely runs Minja w/Proto Knives and a Gek (if I recall). "Effective" is an understatement. This guy's a terrifying opponent.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
As for the Active Scanner, I already have squadmates running that. So my real concern then would be the Hacking Modules.
Yeah, I love my knives but they are broken right now :(
Gotta say though, that 32m Radius looks downright sexy on paper. However, one more Low slot would erase all of my doubts for my Minnie suit. Thanks again for the feedback. |

Three among our humble ranks have recently founded Scout-only corps:
Kodho - Hidden Suppression Lightning xVx - R 0 N 1 N Travi Zyg - The Butter Knife Bandit
Kodho (Scout Sniper) has demonstrated exceptional prowess in killing from afar whilst remaining unseen. Lightning xVx (Shotgun Scout) is feared throughout New Eden, having earned the reputation of squad killer. Travi Zyg (Assassin) is well-versed in all things Knives and Nades. If you see him, it is because he wanted you to.
If you're a Scout in the market for a corp/training or dig the idea of hunting alongside a pack of Raptors, I would encourage you to get in touch with these guys. o7
Happy Hunting, Shotty GoBang
EDIT: The above Corps aren't exclusive by weapon type, though their founders are specialists in their respective roles. You need only be a Scout or Light-Frame to apply.
Is this guy accepting applicants for training?
I know that I still have a lot to learn here. After contemplating the Gal scout, I feel that my greatest strength so far is my knives. So, I'm out to master them, and my Assassin style of gameplay. That means lots of knife duels, lotsa practice, and a lot to learn.
By the way, I did have a knife fight today.
Djinn Marauder beat Ghost Kaisar. Total is now 1-1 Doubletapp420 beat Djinn Marauder. Total is now 1-0
Highlight of the day? Blueberries spawned on Doubletapp's Link. We just watched as Marauder tore through 4 of them. |

HAHA. Yeah. It's crazy fun. Most fun I have had was running a full Knife squad with Radar, Jacobi, Lightning, Myself, and a few others.
Nothing beats watching a Med Frame run in fear from 6 very angry, very stabby scouts.
So, if you want to, we can just make a small tournament. 5mil to enter, top three spots get the cash split up. Standard Elimination.
We can even have a shotty division for sh*ts and giggles.
I'm game to make this work. Anyone else?

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.
Have fun getting used to the lack of a double jump. The lack of a boston accent was the worst for me. Nice to see you here! I'm sure you will get added soon |

Disagree with you. If you have enough skill in the gun, you can shred through targets that make the mistake of trying to engage me point blank. Spray the full clip at them, and with good accuracy, I can tear through 2 ADV suits with one clip. Easily.
Also a point to note, I do have my SMG maxed operation, 3 in proficiency, 3 in sharpshooter, 3 in rapid reload, 3 in ammo. I use that gun like a close range AR. |

Yeah, if you really need to, you can dump the equipment and take advantage of the extra CPU/PG to really max out the suit.
I won't though. I'll use a cloak and compact, combine with Knives and SMG and become the swashbuckling ninja assassin I have always dreamed of

If you are good you can kill the majority of players before they line you up, even if you were naked. How would you fair against an equally skilled player in an Assault suit? At close range the SMG, when skilled into it as you are, has a DPS advantage over the Assault Riffle, but the Assault suit has more of a EHP advantage over he Scout suit. You used to be able to negate this by firing on the Assault suit while jumping around and orbiting them because the SMG had better tracking speed and no kick, while a moving target with a small hit box used to be hard to hit. Now, everything is easier to hit, including Scouts, so to win a stand up fight, you need to line up your shot and start firing faster than the other guy and aim for the face. If you have the skill to do that, you may still be successful, but the average Scout is not going to fair very well. I have Proficiency 4, and Sharpshooter 3, but have not bothered with Rapid Reload and Ammo. I will say though that since I am old, this is my first consol game (although I did play Pong when it was new) and this is my first FPS since Doom in 1993, I am not a particularly good shot. Although my aim is vastly improved over when I started and I may now rate as Poor, rather than GÇ£absolutely horribleGÇ¥.
This applies mainly to Proto Suits. Proto suits are hard as hell to kill, and that falls under the scout's idea of "if it's out of your class, run away". Most above average players in ADV-PROTO suits require a different approach, which is what you are referring to with the baiting tactic.
Which is completely correct. If you see yourself outclassed, use speed and maneuverability to engage the enemy on your own terms. I was arguing against using it as such against every enemy. But yes, against tough opponents, using the SMG as such is what separates the men from the boys. |

Okay, was messing around with the Dust514 Fitting tool.
Here we go.
Proto Build #1. Knive/SMG
Shields: 234 Armor: 87 Sprint: 9.35 Stamina: 441 1x Complex Shield 1x Enhanced Shield 1x Complex Sidearm Damage Mod
Ishukone Nova Knives Ishukone Assault Submachine Gun M1 Locus Grenade
1x Complex Cardiac 1x Complex Kincat
Proto Build #2 Shotgun/Flaygun
Shields: 270 Armor: 87 Sprint: 10.03 Stamina: 210 2x Complex Shield 1x Complex Mybofibril (175 melee damage!)
Duvolle Specialist Shotgun GN-20 Specialist Flaylock
1x Complex Kincat 1x Enhanced Kincat.
Kinda on the fence between these two. Not sure which one to build into.
Would love to hear some feedback on these suits. |

The board shows that on average, your KD/R will increase as your SP/Kills increase.
Just give it time. When you can Proto Stomp on a regular basis, your KD/R tends to go up |

Really. ADV is the way to go. With basic knives, you will almost ALWAYS have to land a fully charged dual swipe to kill Basic-ADV suits.
ADV knives give you almost 2x the damage, and Charge over 25% faster. They are cheap to get as well.

Ugh. Gallente frames can turn deadly at high SP.
Messing around with the fitting tool again.
I created a Gallente scout with 124 Shields, 311 armor, and about 9 armor rep a second.
Gave him a K5 Specialist and a GN-20 Flaylock. He also sprints at 9.0 m/s. Still fast. And a LOT tougher.
He can rep his armor in 35 seconds. FROM 0. With a 120 Shield buffer, you can also withstand some damage while repping.
Here is the specs:
1x Enhanced Shield 1x Complex Reactive 1x Complex Repper 1x Complex Ferroscale 1x Complex Kincat
It also has the F/45 Remote's too. Lotsa fun.
Makes my Minja sad. I can't wait till they fix my knives :( |

I am shooting for a Rep heavy kit. I would take 9 reps a second over higher eHP anyways. I shouldn't be taking to much damage in the first place, and I would rather be able to get back into the fight quicker.
Also, I run a minnie suit. I just use the Dust Fitting tool to see if my idea's will work. |

Whut? grenades? that's overkill, unless the stupid things are surrounded. You gotta go in there and knife em. Then they have no indication what happened. Unless your idea is just to freak them out by seeing flux grenades go off and make them think a full squad is going to hit them. When some enemies bunker right down and spam equipment, Flux undoes a lot and generally causes an over reaction, with people running to walls and entrances. Panic is one motivator that works, especially when they lose shields Place your own REs near corners and nooks, people hide in those places when shields drop If they only have a few links down I knife mop them up, then stalk anyone in the building. I love knifing people when they go "huh, i was sure i put a hive here, oh well, i'll throw another down"
Then they turn and look at you with that AH HELL look with a nano-hive in their hands

The Breach Holy **** what a challenge sometimes, especially the first time using it. But then I got pistol skills and I discovered what a rewarding pistol. OHK'in snipers, Powerhousing heavies, being straight up unexpected. Marauder I emplore you to buy a hundred and don't stop using it until you've gone through all 100. The Burst The pistol that is the most fun to use. It is UP in terms of Clip size and ammunition but even if you land just 2/3 of the shots as headshots, they are going down. Headshot master of the headshot weapon. It seems to have a little better range too, or at least it's better at longer ranges. The Tactical OK I used it extensively today and I would not recommend it as a Bread & Butter pistol but it's certainly a weird flavor. It has less damage and is practically like the Assault except for CPU/PG strain. However, it's got a longer range and 2x ADS zoom. Pretty good for lining up better headshots because the gun is less in the way of aiming due to zoom.
I just love running up to someone, pumping 3 pistol shots to the chest and then melee'ing them to death afterwards.

I used to think they were crap but when you got em almost dead with a proficient ish, that boundless is the nail in the coffin
Hm. Would be interesting to run a a Breach ScP + Breach SMG. Ping the shields off, then finish with the other SMG.
Ugh. I wish they would make the Minnie scout a triple sidearm kit. I want the above plus my knives |

Been toying around with the idea of an Aurum reset if I ever get really bored with the game.
Reset's all of your SP, and gets rid of all of your gear.
However, you get every last bit of aurum you have EVER spent back. I would restart with almost 300k Aurum.
Think about it. You wait until they fix the price on the Omega booster. You spend ALL of it on passive. Then you go play whatever you want until they fix this dang game. You can come back to dust the way you want to with a fresh slate.
All it will take is about 6-7 months.
Is anyone else kinda intrigued by this idea? I mean, I'm not just gonna go and do it right now, but I might do it if they keep pushing back weapon fixes and keep dragging their feet. |

Yea sorry I had to jet after only a single game. Was on phone and was taking longer than anticipated. Scout squads are awesome though. We usually cause a swift death to the enemies. Ghost what's ur nova knife fit? Do you notice uncharged blades hit more frequently...or is that my imagination.
Here's my fit that I used those rounds.
Scout M/1 - Series 1x Complex Shield 1x Basic Shield 1x Enhanced Cardiac 1x Enhanced Kincat
M209 Assault Submachine Gun ZN-28 Nova Knives
M1 Locus Compact Hive
As for Knife hit detection? Pardon the pun, but it's really just hit or miss for me. Those games, I had excellent detection. But I also stopped trying to knife people who are moving. Only people who were standing still, or moving very little (like the guy I jumped on as he reloaded, or those two slow waddling heavies) |

The game is like my Calculus teacher.

Messing around with the fitting tool.
Tried to create a Tough, Fast MK.0 suit.
Here is what I have. You can just BARELY make it work with everything maxed :P
Stats: eHP: 447 294 shields 153 Armor Sprints @ 9.26
2x Complex Shield 1x Basic
Ishukone Knives Six Kin Sub (or a Cala's MK-33 if you feel lucky) M1 Locus
1x Complex Reactive 1x Complex Kincat
1x Compact Hive
Seems perfect for a hit and run kit. Sprint in, get some kills, feel free to take some armor damage, you have both armor rep and a bit to spare. Pop a compact when you need to, get some armor back, and some ammo. You can still sprint for about 21 seconds straight too. Retreat for logi hugs when you need to. |

Looks vicious :-) Are you sold on that complex reactive plate? Thinking you could trade that pinch of HP for a 400% faster patch up (w/complex repper)
Hm. Was playing around with my Enhanced Reactive, and the 1 hp/s really isnt noticeable. (I only have lvl 3 in armor, and 1 in rep at the moment.)
My logic with the complex is still sound. The MK.0 only has about 80 armor from the get go. I would gladly trade 5hp/s for 2hp/s if I can double my armor. It may take longer to rep, but I have compact hives if I need it in a hurry.
It's supposed to work as an inverse with the standard Gallente suit.
With a GK.0, you use the shields as a buffer, and rely on high armor to survive. Combine with repper's and the GK.0 can take solid damage and survive over time.
With this suit, you use the shields as your main source of protection. However, with only 300 shields, you oftentimes go into your armor when the battle is close. Since you really shouldn't be taking huge amounts of armor damage, having only 153 armor and 2 rep a second is more than enough. |

Hell I only have proto light suits dont even have the scout suits yet. (Yes I do want to save my isk n get the scouties) Hi CommanderBolt, The only requirement is that you use a Scout or Light-Frame over 50% of your time in combat. "51% Scouts" are welcome ... no need to measure ... we operate on an Honor System :-) This restriction helps to keep our community statistics clean. Let me know if I can clarify anything else. o7 - Shotty GoBang Thanks man, appreciate the reply. So its just total kills, as long as your a 51% or more scout? I see. I'm not sure what I qualify as. I wonder if CCP has stats for suit classes used.
It's an honor system. So long as you consider yourself a scout (you run it as a majority), chances are you will get on the list. |

Gh0st C0de wrote:I just was in a squad with a collection of first rate scouts. It was humbling.
In solo play I average around 1400 WP... mostly from a very aggressive installation hacking habit, dropping uplinks like a fiend and whipping out a swarm scout whenever I see a tank or two. I act as an autonomous unit in my squad, which typically consists of myself and two friends who run logistics fits.
I rounded out the last battle with approximately 400 war points. Not because I sucked too terribly, though it was by no means my best play of all time, but because most things were killed, hacked or controlled efficiently and quickly and were defended well enough to keep them from being brought back to red. I was out-scouted.
I hope one day to pull 23/0 or similarly outstanding matches as effortlessly as Shotty makes it seem. For now I will be content to go 12/6 and call it a good match.
Maybe next time I squad with a dedicated scout group I will have a properly functioning mic and won't be at my girlfriend's place... having to hand over the controller before you're done is no fun. At least I can backseat hack while my girlfriend plays on her account.
Thanks for the rounds, scouts!
Playing with other scouts is a blast, and it really helps you see how important certain aspects of scouting are.
Playing with Shotty made me realize that learning how to cook nades is paramount when playing as a scout. They are excellent ways to start an engagement with an enemy, as it will either kill them outright, or horridly wound them. It's really the only way to engage an opponent that knows you are there. Run around a corner, get some distance, cook the nade, then jump out and toss it at their feet.
Playing with Lightning vXv showed me how to run a shotgun. You gotta know when it is okay to rush em, and when you should run away or flank. He knows when he can rush the target, which is why you see those huge killfeeds with him. He will see three people, and only one will see him. He sprints up and takes out the target that is aware of him, and then gets the other 2 afterwards.
The list goes on and on. |

Hope this helps. o7 Spawn Camping. Multiple Revives. OCD. Aw yeah. Who remembers the original Ambush spawn mechanic? 100% predictable. Who remembers the second spawn mechanic? Throw down a single uplink and until an orbital wipes out the whole team you spawn in the same place till you're cloned out (Admittedly this is how I got that 20 person orbital). Oh, remember Skim Junction? With Biomass or Communications whoever hacked the CRU first lost. Remember the "bug" where you could be revived like 100 times in a row? Even now, having an ally with a needle is more detrimental that people AFK in the warbarge. lol KDR is a worthless stat. When you realize that it is faster to hit "start" and go to "commit suicide" is a faster way to traverse the map than a vehicle or running, your KDR drops fast. W/L ratio is another bad one. It may just be a good indicator of who AFK farms (lol GJ AFK solution, you've kicked me twice while sniping and twice while in the orbital screen, but you haven't done **** to stop me from AFK farming) Thought the +ö stats are welcomed, Shotty, it is not very helpful in determining skill level.
My greatest weakness. Yeah, I get pissed about sh*t, and tend to voice it to whoever listens. Just tell me to stop complaining, and I will normally shut the trap. As I said, it's just a problem of mine.
Also, I shut up during PC's. When I pub, It's generally open game.
Anyways, I'm not advocating that I want to be on the team. I think the best scouts should be on it to represent it. If that includes me, then I would say thanks to the people that think that high of me. Truth be told, I really believe myself to be above average, and that is all. |

Protected Void wrote:The rather few times I've been able to join a squad with 4 scouts or more, I've had a blast. I really like the fast pace, the stealthy sneakiness and the adrenalin that comes with running with other scouts.
So, I've been thinking about applying for R0N1N membership to increase the chances of getting into scout squads more. However, I'm not sure I'm a god match for R0N1N, and I hope some of the Scout Registry regulars might be able to pitch in with an opinion.
I'm a full-time scout, as I have been since I started playing kind of early in open beta. I have proto Gallente scout suit, maxed out KinCats and maxed out scan range, level 3 profile dampening and a lot of focus on typical scout skills. About 16 mil SP in total.
On the other hand, my primary weapon choice isn't very typical scoutly. I run the semi-auto ScR - have it up to Prof 4 - and use it a lot to flank and take out enemies with charged headshots, enjoying the relative safety the rifle's range provides (compared to, say, shotgun). I mainly use a Toxin SMG (prof 2) for close-up stuff, which also happen to a fair degree. I also use an advanced level active scanner quite a lot. I generally do pretty well these days with this setup and playstyle, rarely going negative KDR, often a ratio between 2 and 5, generally in the top 6 of the killboard.
The impression I have of R0N1N, is that the focus is on training shotgun scouts. While I'd like to get good with the shotgun, I get so disgusted with the hit detection issues it's been having that I don't see myself using it much until the issues have been fixed. Also, I wouldn't want to drop my longer-range engagements to court a shotgun only playstyle.
So: is my impression of R0N1N entirely wrong? Would I be a good fit for the corp?
Scouts don't care about what weapon you use. So long as you slay, nobody will care
As for joining scout squads, just try and que up in Scouts United during the day. I have no trouble finding those squads.
On a lesser note, would be fun to play with ya. Hit me up if you wanna tear some stuff up

Scan, sneek and destroy, Kodho
Core skills.
Proto don't mean crap unless you can fit it right. Core Skills improve all of your fits, and allow you to run Cheap ADV suits that are actually quite effective. I'm at 11mil SP w/o Proto. And I can still run one hell of an ADV suit. |

Currentlly tearing him a new one on his video. He approves all of his comments, so he might not even let mine see the light of day. So, I'm gonna post them here as well.
First, he put words in my mouth, saying that I thought the shotgun was fine. All I said was "Your ego is so large, im surprised it isn't as heavy as a shotgun" (Little bit of humor, you should see the three responses he gave me. He was quite eloquent.)
Also, dat aim. http://youtu.be/x5tbba6YAAQ?t=48s http://youtu.be/x5tbba6YAAQ?t=1m20s <---- Look at all the hitmarkers I don't have.
Also, he explicitly states that shotguns don't have range. |

This guy is garbage. I looked up his stats. He's rocking a 0.98 K/d and a 1.0 W/L.
He also said that I am stalking him. Apparently commenting on more than one video is "stalking someone".
Here is my favorite part:
This is what I said.
Also, this video had nothing to do with my comment on your ego, and where on earth did I say the shotgun was fine? The only thing I said was that "Your ego is so large, I'm surprised it isn't as heavy as a shotgun." Also, dat aim. (Start your "The main problem with Dust514 Shotguns" and go to these times. Dang comment won't let me link web adresses. t=50s t=1m22s Also, you contradict this video in your previous one. Listen to yourself. t=3m40s Result? 5\10. Seen++ me after class.
His response:
I didn't contradict myself about anything. Most people don't use shotguns for the reason i say the shotgun is not balanced enough and not powerful enough. This proves you are wrong. Again i win more than you. In++ win at life and you don't. You hate me cause you want to be me. Remember you are on my channel, its not the other way around. You have a problem with your own ego, that is why you are stalking me.Nothing you said in your comments have made you look better and you haven't changed anything.
Do you see why I get humor from this?
Comment #2
Why are you trying to use a shotgun at 10m+? It's a Gallente Shotgun, which means it is supposed to be very high damage,n++ and VERY short range. The problem with the shotgun isn't the range, it's the Hit Detection problems. As for the weapon being heavier? Wouldn't affect most shotgun scouts, we generally sprint with our sidearm anyways. I personally think you should stick with your AR until you get some gun game.
His response:
Sprinting with your arms sideways means nothing when i kill shot-gunners more than they kill me. You are embarrassing yourself. You just shut down your own argument and you contradicted yourself here is why... You said the range of the Shotgun is not the problem, then you said the Hit detection is the problem whichn++ is a contraction, because the Hit Detection problem causes the gun to lack range. I made previous videos talking about the hit detection issues and the Shotgun is the problem.
It lacks range because its a fckuing shotgun bro. |

Using a breach shotgun tacks on another 10 meters or so and a huge damage bonus, at the cost of a small clip. Your shots then wouldve hit much harder, and possibly even killed him. Please comment about weapons when you understand them more. :) "

OMFG Can't wait for Combat Rifle!
LOOK AT THESE STATS
1200 RPM. That means that those bursts will be dealing 105 dmg in an instant (due to the insane speed, getting a hit would mean all three shots hit at nearly the same time), the ROF could use some help, but with a theoretical DPS of around 704 (almost 2x the dps of an AR) I assume it will be able to deal more DPS at a range than the AR, making it a valuable mid-long range weapon.
Combine with SMG for minmatar winningness.
My combat scout will be INSANE. I could actually help on long range maps! Then you use knives/SMG for cities!
EDIT: Also, beware the modded controllers coming back. Unless they give it some decent kick, everyone from the TAC AR days will whip out the modded controller and proceed to spam that CR in CQC till the Kill pops up. |

xactly. The limitations are why I'm shocked, that not enough poeple have signed up for the all-scout squad! The latest, extended cut-off is tomorrow, I think.
I would, but with school and work, I'm really busy. If you guys have extra spots, I'll sign up as a possible member, if someone else can't make it.

Note that they also said they will re-evaluate the suits when they get all the racial suits out.
We aren't getting a rebalance/buff for a few more months is my guess. It took them 3 months to get the new weapons out. New suits? Give it another 2.

28 minutes of stupidity. He just created a 28 minute video of him getting 3 kills, and going through the comment section of Scouts United and rereading all of our posts in a mocking voice (with the voice changer. Not kidding.)
Oh and by the way. We are ALL STUPID.
I do wanna know what music is playing in the background though. Music was sick.
Also, This is to King Thunderbolt (He may or may not read this, but this is the only way to talk to the guy apparently)
I did not lie about your stats. Also, I wouldn't talk about you on the forums if you hadn't banned me from commenting on youtube. You can't yell at people for talking behind your back if you won't let them say anything to your face. If you want me to talk to your face, then by all means, squad up with me. Since you banned me, I assumed that you can't take criticism. Thus if I actually wanted to find out what you meant by "Adding weight to the shotgun", I would have to say that I wouldn't criticize you.
Also, calling other people gay? Seriously? I assumed that you were childish when you turned on the voice changer and started mocking people, but really? Looking on Adam's profile, at a picture of him, and saying you bet he has a really small package? Really mature.
Sorry if all the other Scouts have to see this. As I said, only way to talk to the guy. Can't wait to run into this guy in a match.

Levity aside, I think you would make a great CPM, but if you don't wanna do it, then you don't wanna do it.
I also think that the fact that you know that you would be biased speaks volumes about how you are as a player. Lotta respect for you, and most of the people in scouts united would agree with.

Do what I do when you see a scout at a distance.
Fire small SMG volleys from range until they turn around.
Whip out knives, slash the air.
9/10 times, they get the message.

We had some excellent matches. I think we even had a good balance between Minmatar and Gallente. We also had enough balance to really flesh out the squad. We had a few people who could run AV, we had two Nova Knivers, 2-3 shotgunners, and 2 people who went sniper if need be. Really made changing tactics on the fly EASY.

WTF?!?! is gallente way better than min? What am I missing? How did I not know this? Or is there genuinely something I am forgetting which makes min scout as good as I thought it was? I hate gal scout because it is so ugly, but yet, it's like the easy mode of hard mode!!!!!!
Min scouts out there, my faith is wavering. Tell me why min is better than gal.
NK damage is OP.
Better speed w/o modules.
Better general mobility.
Apart from that, it's an acquired taste.

Hopefully, with the better HD, this would mean that we would be forced to flank and be even more sneaky now.
At the same time, I would be fine with this if the HD would make it so that I can actually kill my targets before they turn around.

I find that the damage with Pro knives can be the game changer. It can take 2-3 swipes with ADV knives at 3/4 charge to kill a pro heavy. Pro knives on the other hand (with my proficiency 3, and enhanced sidearm damage mod) will DROP a heavy if you connect with charge.
I also one swiped a heavy with full charged PRO Knives yesterday. Prolly made him mad.

Here is what I will run on my Proto Scout.

2x Complex Shields 1x Complex Sidearm Damage Mod
Ishi Knives Ishi Assault SMG Core Nades Boundless RE's

I love Sidearm damage mods. I give up some shields for a much higher DPS, and I find that it really helps the "Hit and Run" style gameplay that I run.
With the Knives, my base slash for each is around 316, and my SMG deals around 560 base DPS.
Explosives are vital to this suit as well, and I really think it fits the Minmatar suit. Stealth, SMG's and EXPLOSIONS.
Now if it weren't for the dang proto scanners. This suit is useless against them.
On the other hand, very few run the Proto Scan in most matches. It's really only good for picking up scouts, and I know logis would hate to drop their other slots to run a Pro scan.

I'm doing the same with Gallente even though I want that Amarr Assault, but the Gallente suits are actually on a competitive level.
I have ADV Min Basic frames. They kinda rule. I can run 300 shields, 170 armor, sprint at 8.5, with almost 300 stamina AND use a shotgun. You get scanned all the time, but it rules as an Upfront, in your face playstyle.

I would stay away from the sidearm dmg mods, they won't do much for the knife, at least in my experience you die too quickly.
I use sidearm damage mods for the SMG, and I find that the bonus actually helps the knives alot. You can tap shot almost anything outside of super tank heavies and med frames

It seems to be a game that I can get some of my friends behind, and just adventure together when we want, or engage in warfare on the battlefield when we feel competitive.

Changed it for you guys.
So to bring it back on topic, I'm skilling into gallente scout suits with 3x SP.
Why? Cause I'm using a basic gallente rightn now with enhanced range amps, and I am loving the gameplay so far.
Since I only have 700k SP into Minmatar, it's not that much of a waste. Besides, I think it might be a bit more up my playstyle, which involves flanking and surviving multiple engagements. I don't like to run away from fights, and I like knowing where the enemy is without a scanner.

Every week, Shotty updates the front page, because he's awesome like that, to reflect your week's kills and any change in KDR. It's a good metric for how the Scout community is fairing, though not the best. That would be a nightmare to track only kills made in Scout suits/Light Frame. Especially for me, I've got 3 different assault suits, 3 different logi suits, and a Sentinel suit I get kills in. LMFAO I just realized Appia has Caldari-Assault, Gallente-Assault, & Amarr-Assault BPOs. Amarr-Logi BPO, skills in Gallente&Caldari Logi, and an Amarr Sentinel BPO. And skills in Gallente Scout. That really does a great job reflecting how worthless I think Minmatar suits are. 8213, to make the board you need to run a scout suit or light frame suit 51% of the time or more. To get on the first post you need more than 5000 kills total. Elsewise you are on post #7. I'm starting to feel an odd one out because I use scout suits pretty much exclusively in any situation, ambush, skirmish, domination, FW or PC. As far as I know I only have tens to a few hundred kills while not in a scout suits, and those are mostly vehicle road kills or the VERY rare times I pull out my militia logi suit.
To be honest, very few go 100% scout.
I keep myself in the 80-90% range.
I run scout whenever possible, but if I find myself throwing myself against a brick wall, I bust out my Minmatar Assault. I see no reason in staying in the suit when I am not using it for it's built purpose. My assault suit is designed for open combat. My scout is not

Now I have never used knives and don't plan to but I'm pretty psyched that all you guys now have your ninja-yness back :) and back to my pistol/SMG combo...
On that note, started speccing up SMG sharpshooter but wondering if it's worth it and how far you have to take it to get a noticeable effect?
I feel like I've pretty much reached the point where I've got all my skills where I need them and anything extra is just unnecessary extras. I won't be putting anything into biotic modules until I know speed tanking will ever be viable/useful. There's no point in ever going beyond level 2 in any equipment because I'll never have the CPU to be able to fit them. I've got my proto gal scout, lvl 5 prof pistol and lvl 4 prof SMG (will go lvl 5 one day...) and all my core skills where I want them. Not really sure where to go next. Maybe I'll max out my swarms if the adv is no longer at all effective in 1.7 but again probably won't be able to fit proto swarms anyway. Eh, I dunno, I'm just kinda rambling now - useful thoughts would be appreciated.
Okay, proficiency is great on an SMG, but Sharpshooter will boost your dps even higher.
Think of it this way. At rank 0 sharpshooter, you get a spray from the smg. Most bullets don't hit the target after about a second of firing. As sharpshooter increases, it turns that spray into a tight cone of death. You get tons of more bullets on target and your overall DPS increases dramatically.
Get it up to lvl 3 a the least. At lvl 5, you can hipfire that thing like it's being ADS. Amazing.

Probably a 'bit further. Sharpshooter adds quite a 'bit of reach to the SMG. In my opinion, all high RoF weapons (excluding the HMG) should have Aim Assist dialed back a 'bit. Gun Game doesn't matter otherwise. On a side note, I'm running a pistol today. Only at Operation II, so I haven't unlocked the goodies yet, but ... HOLY COW THIS THING IS AWESOME! It fits better with shotgun fits as well. The TTK with the pistol is very fast giving the enemy less chance to try to kill you. Headshots are insane. Sometimes when I'm running my shotgun I completely forget I actually have the shotgun and just mow people down with my TT-3. The small clip really forces you to engage and run away in an incredibly short amount of time due to having to reload. With the SMG it takes like half a second to a second longer to kill someone and you have to keep your sights on them longer which gives them much longer to kill you. It's awesome for super tanked logi's and heavies because you can peck at them, take cover, reload, then run in again within a few seconds. :D In my opinion the scrambler pistol might be the best side arm next to knives. With our low HP that insane alpha can't be beat.
Yeah, it is INSANE in 1v1's. With a 10 round clip, you can tear through 2 med frames and survive if you have good accuracy.
Run it with an Assault sub. It makes for an excellent backup. One is made for 1v1's, the other has the ammo and damage to engage multiple opponents.

Honestly, in what way are Nova Knives even useful? My Viziam scrambler pistol probably has the same TTK as your NKs, only my optimal range ends at 25 meters. I can still count on 1 hand the number of times I've been killed by Nova Knives outside 1v1 knife fights. Your proto Scout with proto knives aren't going to be killing my Dragonfly Assault with Toxin AR + Toxin SMG or my Templar suits. And god luck on getting me with those in a suit I'm actually skilled into. Knives have the highest potential alpha on a Minnie scout. While they lack range they make up in insane damage. Why would I be knifing a scout who isn't using knives themselves anyway? Sorry but I'm not dumb.
Knives are the ultimate alpha damage tool. If you manage to sneak up on someone, they are DEAD before they can react. No stream of bullets to alert them to the fact that they are in danger, just a swift slash and the death screen.
Now that knives work, I'm back in love again. I can get a flank and knife 2-3 people and run away before the team realizes what happened.

On the other hand, I'll be okay with a nerf to the SMG, ONLY if you nerf AR's and ScR's as well. Keep their relative power levels the same and just increase TTK.

I love SMGs they're my favorite back up weapon and CQC, just with the short TTK annoying the crap out of everyone I am willing to see it toned for the sake of the game. I'm okay with a reactive nerf if SMGs become FOTM after current FOTM gets nerfed. However, a pre-emptive nerf seems premature.
Welcome to Dust514, where we nerf things just so that we don't have to nerf them later.

lol Had a blast with all of you yesterday. In recap: Tranq drops then repeatedly tea-bags a proto MedFrame we lured from LLAV. ^ Laughing my arse off, I get sniped trying to get in on the tea-bag action. Sinboto and I discover that the quickest way to fill a Scout squad. ^ Deploy into battle ... then the LFS will appear. Learned 3 times in a row that "sneaking up" on Moody is quite difficult. We discover that Nyra gets angry when people call him "a javier". Nyra and Ghost discover that Appia is a girl (not a little boy). Nyra and Ghost earn "idiot" label ... but I didn't mean it :-) Scout Squad vs Scout Squad! ^ Props to King for all those RE multi-kills.
One of the best scout squads I have been in. I had a BLAST.
Also, me and Nyra just SOUND like idiots when we squad together, mainly due to the fact that we go off on tangents and ruin the tactical chatter going on. That being said, we still pull our weight though
Also, King wins the Most Kills with RE's, but I think that I win the award for the best RE though. Set up an RE trap and blew up two scouts and a med frame. Nothing like watching the bodies fly after a good RE trap. Also, George666 flew the furthest

I'm used to a much higher sensitivity from BF3, so I've run it on max for forever.
My advice? Just slowly increase it from where you are bit by bit till you hit the max. It allows you to react faster, and removes several limitations that you get from a lower sensitivity.

If the mouse actually played like a pc mouse, that's what I would be using. Sadly it' only serves to ruin your aim with acceleration. Although so does the current ds3 analogs movement.

Raw input on KB/M would make KB/M a necessity for comp. Seriously, it's the reason why KB/M was banned in BF3 PS3 on FraggedNation. It's a gamebreaker for those who don't have it.

Example: Pistol/SG to the face or knife/SG to the back.
Tip on the quafe event: Rock those damage mods. I'm doing G/1, 2 comp dmg, pro nks, bsc damp and comp reactive.
Hm. I'm on the fence. I consider RE's Stealth kills cause you are never there when they go off, but I love the sudden "IM HERE" moments and killing them up in their face.
I played a round with RON1N yesterday where we went up against 12 Molon Labe in FW. We won, but just barely, mainly due to the fact that me and two other scouts made the death toll in the city not worth it for them to take. How? RE's! THATS HOW.
I placed them on the tops of stairwells, the tops of ladders, chokepoints, etc. Just wait for them to run buy and blow them up. I got double constantly.
In short, I like my in-your-face kills, but RE's are dang fun.

They only do 200 now. I thought they used to do 300! Gah! No stinking way. Musturd, Moody? im pretty sure its been that way since the start of uprising. but the damage displayed is per uncharged knife. you get 2hits so if both knives land its 600 damage for the quick strike and roughly around 1200damage if both charged knives hit. thats not including and suit bonus or proficiencies. also headshot seem to be adding the extra damage now im not sure when it was ninja fixed but headshots are 150% you still dont get the 60wp but it does make the sound
They have been 200 since I came here in 1.1.
Also, I think someone did the math, and they actually do extra damage to shields and armor both, so that the damage done is actually greater in game than on paper.
Gonna try and find the link, I know it's around here somewhere...

I'm taking a break from Dust.
For two reasons:
Reason 1: Finals. Yep. They will be here in two weeks.
Reason 2: I'm getting super pissed off by the game the last two days. I literally almost threw my controller against the wall. For the record, I have only thrown my controller once in all my years of FPS gaming, and that was playing this game. 700+ hours of BF3, and I didn't feel like throwing it even once. FFS, the last two days, I have only been able to get good scores by being suicidal and driving my death count up. Two games this week were I got 30 kills at the cost of 20 odd deaths. The proto stompers are out in full force, and I have had difficulty finding a good squad to play with. So I was forced to solo or play with randoms. All in all, not a very good few days, so I'm taking a break.
I think I'll just play a bunch of Tales of Xillia and Fallout: New Vegas until 1.7 drops. If 1.7 sucks and the CR sucks, I'm gonna aurum reset my character, put all of my AUR into passive boosters, pre-order Destiny, and wait until they freaking fix this game.

Med Suit tears are getting harder to come by due to the insane TTK and AR dominance as of late. Patch Notes should be very soon and I know the number of you scouts are probably not going to appreciate it as fully as the generic player base would. As for the planned buffs for scouts its going to be dropping in conjunction with another planned features (plural) which such I cannot comment upon. I have talked to CCP Wolfman and he's in full agreement that of all the frames the scouts need the most hugs now and he's planning it but he and his team has so many things to get done and not enough time or people for it all.
You heard it first here guys.
WE HAVE BEEN PUSHED BACK AGAIN.
You guys do realize that you are creating a niche of supersoldiers right? Most of us play fairly well with a suit that is absolute crap on paper, and the only way we pull it off is through sheer practice, skill, and optimization.
The moment you guys fix the suit and make it decent, I GUARANTEE you that The General Discussion will be whining about the scouts. And you know what? I can't wait for that moment.
I'll put it bluntly.
If scouts don't get fixed by the time Destiny drops (or even the beta, as I will be pre-ordering), I'm gone. I'll ditch this game, AUR reset my character, put all of my AUR (Which is approximately 300k) into passive boosters and just play destiny till this game becomes worth my time again.
Thanks for the update though. Have a +1

There there IWS.
If EVE taught me anything, it's that CCP makes great games. They just take their sweet freaking time doing it.
I'm not mad that I sunk $150 into this game. I fell in love with the idea of the game, and wanted to show my support, so I put money into it. It's just the fact that the suit I chose in 1.1 would prove to be a horrendously under-powered role that has every job it does done better by other suits.
I can't respec the suit, so I just get to "Live with my mistake" and wait until the suit becomes decent. I built my entire playstyle around the Minmatar Scout, only to realize at 8mil SP that it would never really be better than a watered down assault with it's only benefit being an amazing dampening system. It's been long and trying, and even though I love the suit, my competitive side hates seeing me be gunned down by people when I have both a tactical advantage and better aim. They just laugh in my face (metaphorically) and spray AR in my general direction.
TL;DR Yeah, scout needs fixed bad. And I know you guys have to appeal to the 80% majority to keep your playerbase intact, just realize that you have been trying the patience of the other 20% for longer than anyone should have to wait. Priority should be placed when it's due, but every now and then, you need to tend to that little guy on the team, otherwise, he will just walk and and try his luck elsewhere.
Dang. This turned somber quickly. Sorry bout that

OH MY GOD. I'M IN LOVE
Combat rifle is an AMAZING all around weapon. Decent enough in CQC, yet strong enough at range. The sight makes using it difficult, but in mid range engagements, it rules.
I'm running it on my ADV scout with Nova Knives. It's amazingly effective. '
Good thing that I practiced with the Burst AR all last month. I'm loving how it's paying off.

CCP may have done a great job with 1.7. It certainly seemed that way the morning of release. But right now there's really no way get a read on the improvements. Not with the current state of combat, match after match. "Slowing tanks down" isn't going to fix the problem. CCP needs to either give us tools to pop these things, or make it hurt the wallet -- badly -- when one actually gets popped.
TL;DR - Tank Spam is overshadowing all the good things 1.7 has delivered. Absolutely. Honestly, tank spam and the lack of scout love are the only two problems I have with 1.7. The rest is pretty great.
Completley unrelated.
But I think what you did with that Orbital Awoxing was hilarious!

Scouting is simply not something anyone can just pick up and be instantly good at. You have to learn over time and that takes patience that EZ mode just does not have.

I LOVE the flaylock, but I can never justify using it.
SMG does the same damage in CQC, has more range, and is a more flexible weapon overall.
I really wanna use my flaylocks.....
How about this: (MASSIVE CHANGE)
Make it have a 6 round clip, like the ScP.
Bonus to Ops skill is 3% blast radius increase.
Give it around 75 Splash, with a 1.5m Radius at basic.
ROF is faster (but not ungodly)
You now have a sidearm that is made to quickly kill 1-2 targets in CQC in Minmatar fashion (Rapid fire and explosions).
For clarity:
Basic FP: 150 direct, 75 splash, 1.5m (1.72 with skill 5) ADV FP: 165 direct, 85 splash, 1.75m (1.9 with skill 3) PRO FP: 180 Direct, 100 Splash, 2.0m (2.3 with skill 5)
This will make it a powerful weapon if you can directly hit targets (difficult to do) but still able to take down a target by hitting the ground if you have to (PRO has 600 splash in clip at proto)
Feel free to change these or debate these. Let's try and fix the Flaylock guys!
EDIT: I love this idea myself, but I also just realized that you get an 8 round clip with the Minmatar Assault.

As for power: I really don't want too much power. I want flexibility with the gun. The ability to take on 2-3 targets if you can direct shot them, or the ability to take down a lone target by splashing him to death.
Right now, the flaylock can only kill if you can direct shot people, because of the lolsplash with people's huge HP nowadays.

Man, I would love to see it get a little love ... I miss my FP. I still run it from time to time, just for fun ... but it doesn't really keep up with the other sidearms, in my book.
But would this make it competitive? I want it to be like the ScP, which can easily take on targets in CQC, but it's main drawback is the inability to take on multiple targets (3-4) and it's lack of overall ammunition.
Think about it, with these changes, it would become a mini mass driver that you carry in your pocket.
Mind you, it still would be nothing like the Mass driver, due to it's reduced Splash and Damage. You won't see people fluxing and taking down groups of targets (maybe if they cluster super tight though). You will see people quickly direct shotting people who aren't paying attention (or just having good aim) or using it to splash targets behind cover or those who strafe a lot.
It would be flexible, it would be powerful. It will be balanced due to it's inability to take on more than 2 targets in a clip and it's lack of overall ammunition, making it a compliment to your weapon slot, and not a niche weapon like it is now.

There would be no end to the QQ with that one though.

In all honesty, just predict their movements. Slash in that direction. If you lose them, RUN. You can find another target later.
And they fixed the "Overheat" on the knives. Slash away. No repercussions now

Cinnamon Toast w/Mayonnaise. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=130096@ Quil Your idea was met with resistance here among Brothers. In Ghost's thread, you assert that it "would also leave most scouts quite happy, since using sidearms as primary weapon is quite common ...". In the future, I'd humbly request that you take a poll (at minimum) prior to positing on behalf of the majority. Thank you. Its not that it was met with disagreement, it was the fact that there was no decorum in the discussion. I can disagree with the light weapon idea without calling it a dumb/stupid idea, which is why the discussion went south. Hence I popped in to organize the pro side as to focus it back on the merits or lack of them not because I agreed with it but that it didn't exactly get a fair shot. Name calling also doesn't fly either but I see that flew under the radar of acceptable actions, and we shouldn't have to do a poll just to share an opinion (even if its wrong/unpopular) on how something could function, that's some pretty crazy 1984 stuff right there. I think a perfect example was when we were discussing the scouts shared squad vision with Sponk, https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=125329While it is not required but if you give people the time to flesh it out they usually give out there reasons and the same for any opposition, I like to point that when some consideration was given, he went into more detail on the critiques against him and it ended pretty amicably, at the end of that discussion both of us were just giving each other +1's despite the fact that we disagreed with each other. In short I don't understand why my political forums that I frequent have more decorum, patience, and thoroughness than a game forum where people are just talking about trivial matters.
I just thought the discussion was getting out of hand. So we put it elsewhere. I see no problem with that.
I also agree that we shouldn't have a huge discussion until more information comes out..

Not a good enough reason. It's a shotgun. It should kill my target in one shot if I am point blank.

Right after you explain to me how it is that a shot to the head with a sniper rifle, doesnt kill EVERYTHING. As grim gear put it: "Because DUST". The point is, the shotgun is already capable of doing.. what, 750? 800? instant damage. *instant*, mind you. To offset that, requires some serious limitations, for game balance. Range limit, and "must get headshot for full damage", seem reasonable in that reguard, to me. As it is, a single body shot will still kill MOST enemies, I think? ("most" defined as 50.1%), and if you're semi-decent, with a specialist shotgun, you should be able to land at least two shots. That being said, if you can't get a headshot when you're up as close as 4 meters.... seems like you need to "git gud"if I can do it 50% of the time.. and I'm NOT a regular shotgun player.... then seems like regular shotgun players should be able to do better. If you want "guaranteed instakill anywhere on the body, any dropsuit".... we already have a weapon for that. It's called a plasma cannon? But of course, since it has even greater damage, it has greater limitations. That's fairly reasonable game balance.
Once again, YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT.
I can get a headshot with a shotgun, but why the hell should I HAVE to get a headshot to OHK people?
ADV tier shotguns are perfect. 1-2 shot most other ADV fits with no problems at all.
PRO tier shotguns are jokes. The damage increase is not enough to keep up with the MASSIVE eHP boost Med frames get at Proto. I should not be wasting 2-3 shots per target to kill a Proto Med Frame with PRO shotgun.
Breaches are even worse. I've been running the ADV Breach with Enhanced Damage mods, and I STILL have to waste 2 shots (My entire clip) to kill a tanked Med frame.
As for the PLC? That's only good for one target. Have fun ripping through a squad of Protos with it.
Also, sniper rifles SHOULD kill any Med Frame in a single headshot. It's a freaking sniper rifle.
I am aware of the fact that Dust514 has some of the most F'ed up FPS logic I have EVER seen, but that is still no excuse for shafting the specialty weapons. Shotguns are specialty weapons, meant to kill multiple targets in CQC. Snipers rifles are made to kill targets with one precise shot to the head. The fact that these are not working as they should is BULL.
Don't try to feed me some "balance" crap. It's made to kill in CQC, where most other weapons are ineffective. If I get within 4 meters of you, with a shotgun, there is no reason why a device that requires a pneumatic armature to absorb recoil shouldn't punch holes the size of basketballs through any merc foolish enough to let me get that close.
In DUST reality though, you would be better off grabbing an AR and just strafing at point blank. Roughly same effect, and you can even use it at range.
EDIT: As for the breach problem: You do realize that 2 rounds IS THE ENTIRE CLIP RIGHT? Couple that with a terrible reload time, and you got a weapon that you do NOT want to bring to the fast and furious frenzy that is CQC. Breach needs a damage boost and to have a 4 round clip.
Also, I love how you assume that since I am complaining about it's inability to OHK or 2HK targets means I can't aim. Please.
My argument is mainly focused on the PRO tier. A PRO shotgun should have the same effect on a PRO suit, as the ADV shotgun has on ADV suits.

Yeah, its not too difficult once you spot me... (IF you spot me:) given that unlike SOME people, I actually put scout modules on my scout suit, rather than armor plates. But then again, likewise, I like taking out protos in FW with my militia scrambler pistol(BPO) and Valor suit.
LOL at armor plates.
Speed tank for life. My passive dampening is enough for me.

It's just a different play style. I personally like having to evolve my tactics and understand my limitations to work within a specific situation as opposed to having multiple range options to choose from. It simplifies a lot of situations. Maybe tactically it's not always the best choice, but a lot of times it can be way more effective. Why? Well, one needs to get close, so the first and only question to be answered in a tactical situation is "how". Instead of wasting time on multiple questions prior to acting, such as "what weapon should I use in this situation?" "where do I need to be to be most effective with it?" and then, "how do I get there?"
I understand where you are coming from, but I still stand by what I said.
There will be situations where you will want another weapon, and since you have an extra slot, there is no reason why you can't run a basic sidearm, like a basic ScP.
It's great for finding out the limitations of a lot of weapons though. You quickly learn what you can or cannot do with that weapon.

I am Lv5 scout - Lv2 dampening (no damp mod) and I have been picked up before. All vehicle scanners have the same db, (I believe 36 can't remember) but vary in range by tier.
35. They are stronger than a handheld ADV scanner. And this is a Militia level module.

Lagbomb/tankspam I'm looking at you. have you ever played wth the CPMs, they're kinda some of the worst players in the game. Kain is probably the best of them, because he is a forge gunner. But I was squaded with him today and he was just giving out some of the worst advice ever. This is why they use the most infuriating tactics in squads. not because they are the ones oing it, but because they tell other people how to do it -and don't think people will.
So Kain is the best of the worst?
That's sad.
I awoxed Amarr FW for one match yesterday (I was bored, and it was the last match of the night. For the record, I felt like a B*tch, and I'll probably never do it again.), and even knifing every blue dot that came close to me (and every red dot in between) I still did better than him on the scoreboard.
Hell, I actually did better than half the team. AND I wasn't kicked.
Surprised to say the least.

Data is data. The more the better. I trust an article with tons of experiments and supporting data, rather than an article with an idea and a summary.
Doing the investigation and doing research proves that you actually want to do something about this, and without it, the post just looks like you had a passing fancy.

Be a man. Instead of throwing around catty words, take 5 minutes, and duplicate the research yourself. Then man up, give me a decent apology, and treat my posts with a better reguard in the future. That dramatization you tossed about just now on my shotgun posts, where in reality, I posted details on *specific findings* of mine, was really uncalled for too. It was an inaccurate portrayal of my posts. But given your reputation, other people will treat it as accurate. That makes it doubly unfair.
For the sake of this argument, can you please bring up the posts in question? I don't wanna dig through this threadnaught for it.
Instead of claiming that he is giving in inaccurate portrayal, why not just repost your facts and research.
And by the way, most of us trust shotty's info because he has an excellent track record. I don't just trust this guy's research or viewpoints cause I love what he did with the registry, it's because I have talked to him and played with him, and I have always known him to have solid arguments and data to back up what he is saying.
So do the same. Please provide us with the facts, data, and arguments that he says you are lacking. We can move forward from there. One step at a time fellas. It's not called the Scientific Method for nothing. There is a procedure for this.

Scout Registry wrote: As a new Scout, due diligence will protect you when weighing in on discussions among veteran Scouts.
THIS.
@ Quil *Jumps on soapbox*
Think of it this way. If you tell your professor he is wrong, he will most likely disregard your argument. He will trust his experience over your input.
If you tell your professor he is wrong, why he is wrong in detail, and provide proof showing that he is wrong, chances are that professor will look at the data and agree with you. Data trumps experience every time.
While I hate the blatant Elitism that this game creates, it does have it's purpose. The "Professor" analogy I just used does in fact apply to the Veteran Scouts, as much as I hate to say it. People who have been here longer typically have a much better insight into the game than newcomers.
Experience is valuable here, and while (as I said) I HATE Elitism, you really should respect it. That doesn't mean that we are never wrong. But it does mean that most vet's opinions and arguments are not unfounded. Please note that I am trying very hard to not sound like some super elitist prik here. It's hard to describe what I am trying to say, and I really hope it gets through.
*SIGH*
In short, it's okay to disagree with the Vet's here. In fact, I encourage it. But don't do it by disregarding what we are saying. You can disagree with someone respectfully, it just takes some humility.
*Jumps off soapbox*
God, I hate doing that. I always feel like a douche afterwards.
Gonna end this with a tip for everyone for the forums that I find helpful.
Tip for the forums: If someone says something that you disagree with, don't try and tell them that you are right and they are wrong. Ask them to prove their information. If they can't, it means that they are only using personal experience or that they honestly have no idea what they are talking about. This saves you from many pointless arguments. If they can't prove what they are saying, don't even bother with them.
Obligatory: This is just my 0.02 ISK on the matter
Feel free to troll, lol, hate or debate as you see fit.
^ I say that so people realize that this is my opinion.

Do you know the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative data?
Read this
You have tons of Qualitative data. Which is good, but you NEED Quantitative data.
If I turn in a report with nothing but observations, my professor will fail me.
Qualitative data is important, but you need numbers. All I see in those two posts is a lot of qualitative data in the first, and then two terrible rounds to back it up.
Instead of playing rounds to test data, why not take a smaller first step?
Pay 1 mil to somone to be a test subject (I did this for Aeon once, good pay )
Jump into a FW match, and use him as a test subject. Have him tank a med frame. Shoot him with a shotgun.Record how much damage you did. How many shots it takes to kill to the chest. Then do it to the head. Do the same with a Heavy frame.
Record all data. Review your hypothesis. If the data supports it, then write up a conclusion, and present it in a easy to read fashion.
If not, re-evaluate your hypothesis. Test again.
Welcome to the scientific method.

Dump the reactive for a repair module. No point in running it if you are already running plates.

Just run the basic. You only get 40 extra armor and 1 rep a second. I'd gladly trade that for 3.5 hp/s.

My local Rock radio station is amazing.
They play a Rage song every day at 5pm to kick off the 5 o'clock Rage (where you request the songs)
They also play this song to kick off the weekend (Please forgive the crap video, psychostick is crazy)

lol, but seriously Shield tanking is very good for long range engagements while armor tanks are for that up close and personal "Bruiser" style. While Passive Scan and CQC just go so well together. Long Range + Speed are for Minmatar and Caldari.
Yup. Shield tanks require a very different mindset. Due to the lack of passive regen, you must always move cover to cover. Absorb damage, and let your shields regen. You excel at mid-long range engagements with plenty of cover. Abuse that regen! I did the math awhile ago, and a regen tanked shield suit recovers HP at almost twice the rate of an armor tank. I think my Minmatar Assault fully regen'd in about 13 seconds, while the armor tank took almost 26 (mostly his shields recharging. The armor actually finished repping in about 21, but since I was trying to find out how long it took both suits to recover from X damage, you had to include the shield regen as well.)
I'll post a link to it here in a bit.
I'm a big shield tank fan

Shutter Fly wrote: Those posts don't constitute giving actual numbers, the second one is even a "this one time..." type argument, which is arbitrary and is completely useless in a legitimate presentation of an argument. Ghost and Shotty both gave valid opposition to your points, and you did not provide a proper rebuttal. This means that you cannot say they are incorrect without a proper response that addresses the their counterpoints.
What data based counterpoints did I miss? The only replies I saw were along the lines of, "your data pales in comparison to the Awsum Powah of our Experience!!!1111" Here's a more concise summary of my completely ignored data points (which were given in the postsyou claim have no numbers in them??) I estimated that a decent shotgun should be able to do 750-800 HP damage on a headshot.(Yes, there is a headshot bonus for shotguns) I didnt see one person claim that number was incorrect. Related Point : It should therefore be possible to kill even most *heavies*, in two shots, if you're good (ie: can hit head reliably). Less good, and you should be able to kill it in 3 every time, if you can at least manage to sneak up on a heavy, and line up the initial shot as a headshot. Performance based point: Since a shotgun newb like me can get 1/3 of my kills with headshots... after not even running shotgun for a month ('cause when I was using it more, I got headshots more often!)... "the pros" should be able to do it even more consistently. I didnt see any factual counterpoint to any of those. All I saw was posts to the tune of ("we dont need to respond to your inconvenient data, because we're the shotgun pros and we say shotgun needs to be buffed, go away newb") Yet I'm the one being badgered about not sticking to using hard facts?
I'll count the numbers for you.
16.
Six of them can be ignored. 750, and 800 have no math to back up your estimate. We don't even know how you got these numbers.
3 Numbers are from 50.1%. Somewhat legitamate. "Most suits" don't run upwards of 700 eHP. But then again, we don't even know if the shotgun does 750 or 800 damage on a headshot. No math.
1 Number from 4 meters. I see nothing wrong.
2 Numbers are from 50%. Excellent. WE HAVE PROOF. Wait. 13/4 is 3.25. . How did you arrive at this number again?
2 Numbers from 80k. Sufficient. Everyone knows proto costs way more than 80k.
2 numbers are used in place of typing out "two" and "one"
The only "data" you have is an estimate, AN ESTIMATE. WITH NO MATH TO SHOW HOW YOU ARRIVED THERE.
SHOW YOUR WORK DAM*IT! LIKE THIS: (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, DATA IS NOT CORRECT)
Okay, the PRO shotgun deals 44 damage a pellet. Due to the fact that it fires 8 pellets, it should deal roughly 352 damage on a normal target. The headshot bonus is 142%, so this brings total damage per headshot up to 499.84 damage.
Since the heavy runs a base eHP of 1200 with it's core skills maxed, this means that it will take 3 headshots with a shotgun to kill a standard heavy.
Here is an even better example.
Quantitative data. Quantitative data everywhere. However, Appia needs to work on presentation. That thing is a mess to read
As for the related argument: I'm okay with heavies taking three shots to kill. It's a freaking heavy.
As for performance argument? Krom Ganesh summed it up pretty well.
Krom Ganesh wrote:And going for headshots with spread weapon is ridiculous. Center mass should always be a shotgunner's target and encouraging otherwise with bad mechanics is silly. Reduce headshot multiplier so that it only gives a slight damage increase.
Even though I disagree with his solutions, this argument is spot on.

The likelyhood of all 12 pellets hitting the head however puts a headshot's base lower, more still from being outside optimal range
But now I know how you got that number. Thank you.

Seriously? THAT's what you're going to complain about? You're not going to say my numbers are wrong.. you're just going to complain they MIGHT be wrong?? EEesh. Edit: I had just written up long gory details, but I notice that Appia posted after you did, and confirmed that my numbers were correct all along. So no need to be redundant for that. So, similarly, I was correct when I stated that it takes only TWO HEADSHOTS to take out a heavy. You wanna acknowlege that finally now, and help put an end to the "Quil just makes up stuff" trash talk about me? To avoid making this post longer than it needs to, while not having you feel i'm ignoring the rest of your post, I will just mention that I did already respond to Krom's argument about bodyshots vs head that you referenced, back at the time. But rehashing that isnt important to me. Putting an end to the unfair slagging of me, is. For future reference: I'm a computer programmer. I dont just make junk up. When it comes to numbers and facts, you'd be hard pressed to find someone more picky than me about accuracy of numbers.
If you have the numbers and facts, then put them in the post. Easy fix.
As I said, the only confirmation we had for the data was when Appia went and confirmed it.
We shouldn't be proving your data for you.
This whole spiel is getting really out of hand. I am not trying to "slag" you. I just want you to realize that most vets have a "right until proven wrong" mindset. We are going to believe what we already know until proven wrong.
As for the Headshots deal. I still stand by what I said eariler. You shouldn't balance a spreads weapon around it's ability to get headshots. Yes, it only takes two headshots to kill a normal heavy. However, while the data on paper shows it, we still need experimental data.
Have a heavy stand still and shoot him in the head. Do the same from behind. Consider the difficulty of doing this while both parties are moving. Test that as well.
I guess what I am trying to say is this: Be Thorough
You have data, but no work to show for it. You have solid ideas, but no experiments backing it up. If you go and flesh out your data and hypothesis, you will have an excellent argument on your hands. Go out and do it.
Prove us wrong.
You must still realize though, at the end of the day, these are all just opinions. You can have math to back it up, but the core of this argument is that shotgun damage is fine, you just have to get headshots. You no longer are relying on the data on paper, but the ability to execute a strategy on a chaotic battlefield. Some strats are great on paper, but terrible in practice.
In my opinion, the shotgun is not a "skill" based weapon (like the sniper rifle or flaylock, which require headshots or body shots to deal the intended damage), and thus, it should not be balanced around it's ability to OHK targets purely on headshots. It's a bloody shotgun, and the "skill" required to use it shouldn't be marksman based, it should be position based. That is why I want to keep it's terrible range, but buff the damage. If I get close, you should be dead. Don't let me get close.
And to end this post: Please don't assume that I am personally attacking you. I try to treat everyone fairly to the best of my ability, and I don't feel at all like I am attacking you on a personal level. I still don't believe I have ever said that you are making data up, I just said that we can't prove the data. I did say that I thought you were trolling us, but that was because I honestly couldn't believe that you thought it was a great idea. Now that I know that you legitimately believe this, I don't think you are trolling, I just disagree with you.

And it isnt.... UNLESS you're up against a heavy. (Or a brick-tanked logi. grr). The heavy situation seems entirely appropriate to me, and a few others I've seen post here as well. ie: you should not be able to OHK a heavy with a bodyshot. Quote: And to end this post: Please don't assume that I am personally attacking you.
This post of yours was reasonably written, with no inflammatory language that I noticed. So, i didnt feel personally attacked at all. Props on reverting to civilized discussion
Thank you.
So, now that we are though all of that, lets just review what has happened and see where we stand.
I want my shotgun to OHK a vast majority of Med Frames at the same tier as the shotgun.
Heavies should take more shots, but their damage shouldn't be balanced around headshots. 2-3 shots to the body should be enough to take down a standard heavy. 4-5 if they tank like crazy.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?
(skipping the heavy bit, to focus on the "easier" bit)... you already should be able to OHK many medium frames... unless they're layering on the armor/shields. At which point, the DUST type thing to do, is require you to add modules to counter. Which you can do. 2xcomplex damage mods? Using slightly fuzzy math, shouldnt that give you around 600 damage? Which should mostly do the job? Thats the limit for adv scouts... if you want more damage out of it, you need to go to assault with 3 high slots, for 3 damage mods. Wouldnt that do the job, and also mesh with your "same tier" feelings? It's also suit-appropriate. scouts arent supposed to be the high-damage suit; assaults are supposed to be that. and a cross post at mollerz' heavy-spam-related post: Well, start practicin' up your headshots
Refer back to appia's post. Right now, the ADV shotgun is good enough to OHK a vast majority of ADV suits.
I have no problem taking on advanced suits. Most drop in 1 shot. Some require 2.
However, the PRO version is far from the truth. It requires 2 shots to take out other Med Frames of the same tier. This is why I want the damage buff. Besides, I think it's an even worse idea to balance weapons based on the ability to use damage mods. You would be forcing people to give up slots just to use a weapon the way it was meant to be.
If it were up to me, Damage mods would go away completely, proficiency as well. How can you balance weapons when some people will always do more damage than others?
As for the scout's being a high damage suit. The Min Scout is supposed to be a glass cannon, fitting with it's "assassin" role. Glass cannons should have among the highest DPS in the game, as their goal is to kill a target before it can react or deal significant damage back. An inability to do so destroys the purpose of losing HP and staying power. However, CCP has no freaking clue what they want scouts to do, so that argument can wait until CCP makes up it's dang mind.

on "forcing people"... To do otherwise, would be unfair to the other side. To have them invest in shield+armor modules, and have you still take them out with the same as before, weapon, would be unfair to them. The fair thing is "measure, countermeasure". They add defensive modules modules, which in turn require you to add specific modules of your own to counter them if you want the same level of weapon performance. That's balance.

Scout Registry wrote:Shotgun Maths: Adjusting for Overspray
TL;DR: When firing at 5 meters, plan on 1-2 pellets missing your target.
Introduction: Grief PK and I conducted a simple experiment today in hopes of establishing a benchmark overspray value. In essence, we compared how much damage a shotgun could do vs how much it actually did at 5 meters. Any replicable difference between maximum damage and actual damage (at 100% efficiency range) can be explained by missed pellets, or so we propose.
Hypothesis (Accepted): Overspray exists at 5 meters; 100% damage will not be dealt 100% efficiency.
Ancillary Observations: A) The optimal range of a Standard Shotgun (~5 meters) matches that of an Advanced Shotgun (~5 meters). At this range, the Advanced Shotgun deals damage at little to no variability, which cannot be said for the Standard. The CRG dealt a precise total of 441 damage, 5 times in a row. In exactly the same setting, the Dren dealt an average of 425 total damage (ranging from 387 to 457, with a standard deviation of 26.91) over 10 shots.
B) We observed more damage variability when firing at a Scout Frame than when firing at an Assault Frame. More likely than not, the Scout's smaller hitbox means that one pellet will miss him (at 5 meters).
C) Efficiency appears to by -20% versus armor. Efficiency readings drop into the 80s when a target is in Armor.

Wow. That's a nice set of data you got there.
I threw in an extra column for clarity.
Haha! I love it! I was just about to calculate the sDev when I noticed you had already done it!
So does this mean that the lower tier shotguns have more spread than the higher tier?
Also, you tested this with maxed out skills right? How would this work for someone with lower shotgun skills (the skill reduces spread).
Also, can I request a follow up with a test of the breach? As we know, the breach has a much tighter spread. How much of a difference does this make? Does this mean that the Breach could be BETTER than a standard shotgun at ranges of 5-10m, instead of 0-5?
This data opens up a lot of questions. Good job

Yes. If they are going to be walking tanks, they better not be able to turn and strafe as fast as a scout.
If they don't do this to the heavy, I foresee a LOT of AR heavies walking around that will be almost impossible to take down.

Do this. 6 times a second is equal to 360 a minute. 360 BPM.
Listen to this, and tap along with it.
Repeat until you can do this without the metronone.
You now can tap on the controller almost 6 times a second. That'a around 612 DPS (34 a shot, 3 bullets a burst, six times a second)

It doesn't matter how fast I can hit the trigger if I am just hitting air
Practice. Try mainting the bursts on target at a lower ROF. Gradually bump up the ROF until you can maintain the recoil effortlessly.
Or cheat. Aim at their feet. Recoil will push the barrel up the body. Most shots should land on target.

Yeah, if scout suits as a whole are without a profile buff it will be severely pointless unless you have interest in dedicating yourself to the cloak, which I do not, I was drawn to the scout for it's sensory buffs but they are probably going to cut the GalScout range by 25% soooo.......they better buff scan modules too or I am just going to go straight to FOTM.

Appia got unbanned. Cass Caul is now the Alt.
Marauder GOT BANNED. Maraud"r is now the Main
Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle are EVERYWHERE. Both are in wide use by scouts. Armor tanking can get you killed.
F**K yeah Flaylocks! (Personal love affair I have going on right now. Nothing's changed, I just fell in love with it again)
TANKS TANKS TANKS AND MORE MOTHERF*CKING TANKS
Ambush is now the worst game mode ever. Due to Tanks.
FW is actually a lot of fun, and it's LP equipment is Aurum Gear. You can use proto at lvl. 3 if you use LP for it. Good for people who want Proto without the skills.
HMG's are freaking deadly. Not kidding. They fixed them. Run in fear.
Swarms and forges are almost useless against Tanks. Best counter is another tank. Which is why Ambush is terrible.
Did I mention the MOTHERF**KING TANKS?
Also, other scouts. Did I miss anything? Feel free to quote and edit the post if you have to.

Iron Wolf Saber wrote:As for the rest of the racial suits suggestions on their bonus based on the themes we already know about races?
Amarr - Tanky Caldari - Shield Brawler Gallente - Armor Brawler Minmatar - Speed Deamon
Close.
My take on this:
Amarr: Hunter. Focus on Stamina and staying power. With an already very high stamina, and decent speed and health, the amarr scout should be the typical hunter. Taking on groups of targets, it focuses on eliminating them one at a time. Scramblers synergize well with this, due to their high alpha nature and cooldown. You can use stealth to quickly down a target, and then continue to stalk a group. High Stamina means that in the long run, nobody can escape you. Higher than average eHP makes you difficult to kill 1v1. You are nowhere near as mobile as the other scouts, but you gain something the other scouts don't have, and that's the staying power to engage groups at mid range for extended periods of time. Other scouts will have to fall back when the heat turns up, but the Amarr hunter should be able to weather more heat, and proceed to whittle down the enemy.
Caldari: Disruptor. Focus on eWar and long range disruption. With high shields, regen, and bonuses to rail weapons, the Cal scout should be excellent at disrupting enemy operations. Snipers will be able to set up shop, and use their shields to quickly recover from damage while re positioning themselves for another long range attack. Rail Rifle users can utilize their speed and mobility to harrass groups of targets from a distance, making sure that nobody can deal enough damage at range to kill them before they duck behind cover for regen. Hit and run from a distance. Less deadly, but more annoying.
Gallente: Infiltrator. Focus on stealth and observation. Made to get behind enemy lines, and stay there for long periods of time, tracking down targets and causing their own mayhem by hacking objectives and harassing targets. They should be very good at surviving long periods of time behind enemy lines.
Minmatar: Glass Cannon. Focus on speed and damage. You use either your passive stealth (or a cloak) to quickly traverse the battlefield. You quickly flank a target, and deal as much damage as humanly possible in as short an amount of time as possible. Knives are used to dispatch lone targets in one shot. ACR's or SMG's are use to quickly shred through 2-3 targets. Once the hit is complete, you can use your cloak and speed to quickly run and hide before attracting too much attention. They are hit and run from point blank. More risky, but deadly.
I still want to keep the Scout class bonus to be dampening, but they also need to lower it to a 30dB base instead of 45. This is the only way to keep up with the Gal-Logi scans. If you hate doing dual bonuses, then just go and make the scouts profile 20 dB base. We need to avoid scanners. That is really the core of the class.
We also will need the fitting reduction for cloaks. We can't run it otherwise. I think that the best solution is to keep the bonus to fitting reduction, and to make the base dB for scouts 20 so that they can passively avoid all scanners except for the focused. If we absolutely have to avoid it, when can use modules for it (except the modules would have to be changed in %'s. 25% reduction at proto will not be enough. Make them reduce dB by a set number, such as -10 or so. %'s don't benefit lower numbers as much as they do higher numbers.)
Just my 0.02 ISk on the matter.

As much fun as it is, you can't make a viable role with just assassination in a game with immortal clones.The assassination has to serve a purpose other than just reducing the enemy's clone count by one. Also, they shouldn't be taking on multiple enemies. That's the job of the suits designed for more direct combat. If this was part of the min's job description, there would be too much overlap with the assaults, sentinels, and commandos. Giving them a hacking bonus and speed bonus allows them to quickly dart around the map and frustrate the enemy to no end. Also, 20 or 30 db is too low. While the scout should be able to avoid nearly all scanners there must be some give and take.
You do realize that a Gal Logi ADV scanner scans at 29 dB. Proto goes all the way down to 21.
If we don't get a class bonus to it, we need 20dB to avoid a proto scanner. If we keep it, we still need 30dB, as this lets a max investment scout avoid a proto scanner. 30*.9*.75 = 20.25

The problem with the glass cannon role is that CCP is giving that to the Min assault (low health, bonus to damage and damage mods). Like I said, there would be too much overlap between the min scout and assaults.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to kill though. I am saying the intent of the min scout should be to cause chaos through a variety of actions including killing and hacking (vehicles, objectives, crus, uplinks, etc.). The scout class shouldn't be a direct fighter's class. It should operate using fear, paranoia, confusion, etc.
However, think of it this way. Bonuses in speed and hacking will allow you to be more aggressive and even control the battlefield. Your speed bonuses would give you the ability to pop in, take out a red in a group, and then lead his friends on a merry chase as you circle around and stab them in the back (literally or metaphorically, your choice). Your hacking bonuses would let you draw enemies or isolate them. No reds in your playground? Hack their objective to send them charging towards it like a raging bull. Want to prevent that red from having backup as you examine his innards? Hack the cru so no one hears him scream.
While it is not a true glass canon, the min scout should be the most aggressive class of them all.
I do this already. I never hack unless nobody is around, and quite frankly 7.5 seconds to hack is fast enough for me. I don't have the slots to fit a codebreaker, and using a codebreaker on top of the passive and class bonuses is what made the logi shine anyways. On my lvl 3 logi, I use a single complex codebreaker, and I hack in about 5 seconds. I don't want to have to waste a low slot for it to truly shine.
As for the overlap between scout and assault. There wouldn't be much of one. The assault can't move as fast as my scout, even with kincats (my current assault sprints at 8.4 with enhanced kincats). While he is fast, he has no stamina, and is easy to scan. He doesn't really flank too much. He is more of a rapid attacker, using his speed to quickly move from cover to cover, and to quickly move into positions to lock down targets. In short, he is flanker, but works more on angles, and ALWAYS from the front.
The Min Scout would be different. He would focus on flanking from behind, and using his stealth to OHK troublesome targets (such as a target in a good strategic position, that is pinning down our squad). He would focus on quickly hitting groups from behind, weakening them, and then running away. They would have to spend extra time worrying about their flank and dropped buddies, and this gives the front line an excellent chance to push up. Creating the scenarios where my Min Assault will excel (quickly moving during the ambush, and setting up in a spot to flank the target from the side.)
While both are similar, they would still be different enough to have their own niches. Scouts would truly be a hit and run. You can't hang around combat, and you can't assault from the front. Assaults would almost be like a Rapid Response, using their speed and extra health to move under enemy fire, in an attempt to flank and pin down the enemy (or at least to force them to have to open multiple fire lanes, creating gaps for pushes)
In short, leave the hacking alone. The suit best suited to hacking is the Gallente, since they have both the low slots to fit the modules and the best suit for infiltration. They can quickly hack targets, and use their passive scanning to detect enemy troops. They can avoid objectives that have people on them without alerting the enemy, and can even bail if they see people moving in during a hack (that passive bonus comes in handy).
Once again, just my take on the matter.

So you want the bonus then? How much of a bonus? Because I would except nothing less than 10% per level. 5% per level will not be enough for it to shine IMO. I don't want to have to use a low slot to make my bonus work the way I want it to. Not when I only have 2 low slots.

Getting into nests is still very hard to do with all guns pointed in your general direction with no flankable option.
I surely do not jest, a good scout can raptor a squad to death currently this tool would help them a bit.
Depends on the sniper first being the corner sniper where you cannot flank said sniper for his sniper alley is the same as the only ways to get to him. The second of which is the recon snipers the ones that don't hug their scopes all the time and only pick off targets of oppertunity.
Red reticule hunting is needle in the haystack. You would know if you got hit with the worst of the render bug.
Hunters are creatures who thrive on creatures of habbit, those that constantly call and recall their tanks or always call their tanks in one spot of the map are most prone to being victims. FW has taught many this.
It can be easily a problem on the smaller maps, also the cloak would save travel time by not having to take the massively long route. Hence the better use as a mobility tool and not a weapon. What comments, some of your own statements makes me think poorly of your own abilities. I may not be a dedicated sniper or scout but I am an Omni Soldier which does require to know how best to skin everything and inversely how to avoid getting skinned.

Also, last post of the night for me here, I swear.
I'm gonna be doing Shinobi. I also wanted to create a small "Challenge" for us scouts in scouts united.
It's simple. Play the event as usual. The goal is to get as many knife kills as possible. When the event is over, take a picture or record the amount of suits you get.
We will post it on the forums (I'm going to reserve the thread in a bit, so it's already up. I will also extend this to other players), and have a Ranking board for how we did.
Novice Shinobi: 25 kills Apprentice Shinobi: 50 Kills Adept Shinobi: 100 Kills Expert Shinobi: 150 Kills Master Shinobi: 200 Kills
No isk (unless I can convince Jadek to give out tickets for the tiers), but all bragging rights. It'll be fun.

Seriously, who here is dying to NKs enough to warrant their existence in game play? Very few players run them more than a rounds or two to test them out.

I expect you will be participating in the events? What time do you play and which gamemode?
Knives are easy to explain, yet hard to master.
You just have to know when to use em, and when not to (Moody had it PERFECT in his video). This only comes from experience.
Most people who get a kill with knives, don't even have them out 2 seconds before the kill. We see the opportunity, switch weapons, and quickly get the kill.

Finisher. Pure and simple. I run an ACR on most fits, so I am almost always in range to use it effectively. speed is important too, as you have to have good positioning to deal the correct damage.
I have Pro 3 with it, and use the ADV variant on most suits. Core goes on my Proto fit.
It doesn't do any damage to shield suits, so don't even try. However, it will TEAR armor suits to SHREDS.
Right now, my ADV flaylock does roughly 230 splash damage to armor. That's almost 700 armor damage in a clip. Enough to destroy any armor tank I catch with it's shields down. Direct shots are insane, and can drop even the toughest heavy.
I can't count the amount of times me and a target have both torn though our primaries and switched to secondaries. This is where I win the fight. My alpha damage faaar excceds his.
It's nowhere near as useful as an SMG or Pistol in all scenario's but there are times where the flaylock is just the perfect weapon for the job. I get a lot of those times for some reason, so I run it as my sidearm.

We say no to knives n' shotgun combo because of range limitations.
Just choose a weapon that is still viable at CQC, but also has range.
I run ACR and Knives. Very good mix. Excellent CQC abilities, and the ACR still tears people up at range. Versatility is king.
Assault SMG is also usable. Better for maps where range isn't really an issue. Pistols can also be used, as they have decent range as well.

I just like the fact that Remnant is replying to everything.
Also, I like these changes. I might hurt our ability to slay (losing a sidearm), but this might mean that they are actually giving us a ROLE. And that seems to be very stealth based and equipment based.
Minmatar is the exception, but I'm fine with only having one equip. Gimme a cloak, and I'll be happy.
Just my take on this.
Get over it. If you don't play to win in FW, then you're playing for Caldari. -Patrick57

Why do you think I have Flaylocks?

The G Scout is for those who really hate scanners.
Except it still needs to be lower.
Gal Logi is gonna be scanning like crazy, and you KNOW that will pick up every non-gal scout indefinitely.
Now if they make the cloak immune to scanning? There is something I can enjoy. Let them scan you to draw them in. Cloak an ambush. KILL THE LOGI

Either reduce its bonus so a scout can avoid a gal logi proto scanner with 1 cmp damp or change the bonus so it gives a range bonus instead of a precision bonus.
Yeah actually, they need to change the logi bonus. That thing has trouble written all over it.

LOL As I recall you did awesome in that FW game. Those Amarrians just wouldn't give up... but they had no skill at holding any objectives. Their entire strategy consisted of zerg enemy objective, clear out, hack and rotate to next objective.... Our team was good and overall we kicked them to the curb even when they were bringing 6-8 guys to the same spot. You were #2 on the leaderboard with mid-teens number of kills and like 7 or 8 deaths. You had like 1500 WP - if we were in a regular match our 3 man squad would have ended up with 2 OBs. Not a bad showing at all! -- On the CCP front, I really wish they would just stop with all the silliness and just give us the buffs we've been asking for for so long related to speed, stamina, precision, range etc..... maybe alter the slots a bit by adding an EQ or a High/Log for Gal/Min.... Stupid cloak is ruining everything and it isn't even here yet!!! Geeze, give up a sidearm for one measly EQ slot!? WTF?? We aren't even close to being balanced, and they want some trade, BEFORE if we even see if the cloak is reasonable enough to use, let alone good enough to trade a sidearm for?? Man, as a guy that only uses sidearms, that sounds like utter crap even to me. Yeah, somehow ... lots of other suits have had a nice turn being OP, but there's a real fear of the scouts getting any sort of actual buff. Strange, ain't it..?
That's because everyone who has been here for more than 4 months knows that top-tier scouts will be an absolute TERROR on the battlefield if they were ever made decent.
That's why you don't see too many vets on the forums lobbying for scout buffs.

If it stays the same as it is now, I won't be staying. Sorry, but the Assault suit would fit my Fast and Aggressive play-style better. Hopefully the Min Assault lets me do just that.

While it is used in business, it is also used in interpersonal counseling, family counseling, and anger management counseling. eg: http://www.communicationandconflict.com/challenge.htmlObviously, there are people here who feel no need to show respect for others. For those who do, however, this is a key foundational way of how to have a non-inflammatory argument. There's also those who say, "if you feel like you have to attack the person instead of the argument, that's a sign you know you dont have rational basis for your side of the argument" But you defer to mock outrage and kill the argument because you play the super sensitive card. You might find, in the real world, you won't be much of a negotiator, because while they teach this stuff to college students, it is rarely who the world works. Only in low level management will you find strict adherence to this kind of crapola. Once you get into the big leagues, people don't give a **** about your feelings. They care about money. And then, here we are on a video game forum. A group of scoundrels in the basement of a closed down barber shop. We aren't in a human resources mandated sensitivity seminar.

So, I made Flako a bit mad today, and I want some feedback on this.
In short, I was playing against Flako, a buddy of his from uptown, and Nyra Volki. So, we go all Scout out, and have our knives out. However, we also all have our primaries ready to go because of all the Med Frames (I had my ACR, Flako had an AR I think and I think Nyra went SMG).
Anyways, I pretty much went on tear that round. I had like 16-20 Knife kills that round, not excluding my ACR which was used whenever another scout approached me with something other than a knife, and for any poor red dots.
So, I have a great round, and shoot a GG to Flako and Nyra. I was surprised at the hate I got back from this. Now, I can understand someone getting mad about GG when the game wasn't even close at all. However, the game was actually REALLY close, and came down to almost 50 clones before we won (on our side) compared to their 30.
But that wasn't why he was angry. Apparently, I was a little B**** for not taking them on head on. I knifed Flako twice that match, and both times was when I snuck up and stabbed him while he was letting some poor fool have a taste of his AR.
Yes, you heard me. I did not rush in there and take them on head on. Apparently that is what "Real Nova Knifers" do.
So, I shoot back in the chat channel a very simple question. "WHY THE HELL WOULD I FIGHT YOU HEAD ON?"
If flanking and knowing what fights I should run away from makes me a b****, then I will gladly stay one. I just have no idea why someone would get so mad at refusing to fight a battle where I would be at a clear disadvantage. That's just not smart tactics.
TL;DR Flako called me a b**** for refusing to fight his squad head on. I reply asking why the hell I should fight people head on in a scout suit. Am I a b****? Or is Flako just angry at getting knifed two or three times in a match. Help me out here, cause I feel like I have done nothing wrong here.

Everyone needs to read this. It's a Google Doc from Haerr that lists what modules you will need to fit to dodge scanners.
FOR THE LAZY:
Gal scout will dodge all normal scanners and all but Proto Gal scans PASSIVELY.
All other scouts will dodge all but Proto Normal Scans, and Adv Gal scans Passively.
With one complex damp, you can dodge all scans but Proto Gal With one Complex + 1 Basic, you can dodge all scans barring Proto Focused (which you will never beat unless you are amarr)
LAZY STUFF OVER:
I am fine with this. If Proto Gal scans become a problem, I can slap on 2 dampeners and dodge them if need be. One complex will probably be enough anyways, since why would Gal Logis need to run Proto Scanners when an ADV scanner will pick up everything but really dampened scouts? I have a feeling that they will want to cut fitting costs.
Also, Gal Scouts. You have a new role. It's called KILL THE GAL LOGI.
If we are in a squad, we can actually use another scout as bait. Let him be scanned, and then draw them into a Gal Scout ambush. They won't see it coming
Seems like Cal Scouts will be anti-scout scouts. Good. I like it.
Amarr looks like a a tough, slower scout. I have a feeling it will be the best shotgunner (due to it's increase bulk and massive stamina. Lets you ignore green pills, slap on a Red, and then tank tank tank.
Minmatar Scout looks like a great utility scout! Good anti-infantry capabilities and possibly the best hacker in the game now (due to how the bonuses are calculated, you can get some insane hack speed passively. 1.1*1.25= 1.375 base. Apply one complex codebreaker. 1.375*1.25= 1.718x hack speed. That's insane. With one complex breaker, you can hack in almost 5 seconds.)
I like this. I don't see scouts being OP, but they will be powerful in their roles, which is all I ever wanted.
1.8 can't come soon enough. Now I am going to go back to the skill planner and decide how I will spend my SP now. Proto Min Scout is a definite, and I MIGHT spec into Min Logi on the side (due to the equipment I will be using as scout. Transfers over well)

They are changing SOOOO MUCH. Previous suits will have different bonuses to modules AND weapons. New weapons AND New suits.
Dropsuit Command Respec is mandatory.

Here's what I have so far ... Thread Type: GeneralAll the threads under "General" will grow and flow unindexed. Say, for example, Ghost wants to tell a story about an RE multikill or Quil wants to moan about something nonspecific ... that'd all go in the Watercooler (which is where I think must of our discussions will be). Alternatively, say Betthy puts up a post about how he/she got insta-killed by some Scout and REs are OP ... those sweet, sweet tears would go straight into the Tear Jar for safe keeping. Thread Type: WatchlistWatchlist threads under will grow and flow unindexed (Bounty Board excluded). Hypothetically, if Maken Tosch declared that all Scouts should have only one EQ Slot and a Sidearm Slot ... that'd go under Rogue Scout. A non-Scout making a similar declaration would fall under Tourist / Troll Activity. Thread Type: BuildsThis thread type will be actively indexed. Say, for example, Appia wishes to share her "CQC Dominatrix" loadout. She'd type it up in Gallente Loadouts, and folks could followup up with OOHs and AHHS, suggestions, etc. The front-page (index) of Gallente Loadouts would then be linked to her post for easy access. Thread Type: MetricsThis thread type will store and index our maths and tables for easy access. No more "How many levels of PD do I need to beat an Adv Scanner?" or "what is faster, A or B?" ... all that fun stuff will be here for quick access. Huge thanks to Haerr and Hydraslav in advance :-).

I think this will be great.
The moment you open up the folders, ask people to copy/paste old posts into the new forums to spike activity.
Also, can we moderate our own forums? Would help with organization if we had the CEO and a few directors be able to move posts between the threads to clean up. You know a newberry or two will post in the wrong section eventually.

That, and Minmatar are serisously gonna be amazing hit and run builds in 1.8.
My build I posted on Nos Nothi has the same shield delay and better recharge than the Caldari scouts base stats, while also sprinting at almost 2.5m/s faster than it. I lose shield tanking abilities (Only 270 shields, compared to the Cal scout who will probably run around 360 shields and a Complex Precision enhancer)
Combine that with an insane passive hack skill (5 seconds without mods) and you have a class built to cause massive chaos in a city. I will be killing lone defenders, hacking before they can spawn, and then leaving at Mach 2 and heading to the next objective.

Yep.
1.1 base x 1.25 skill bonus = 1.375.
1.375 x 1.25 class bonus = 1.72x Hack Speed
It's either calculated like that or it's 1.1 * 1.5 = 1.65x Hack Speed.
This means you hack a 10s objective in 5.8s without modules.
I think my math is correct. Not sure how they do the hack calculations. Appia would probably know better.

We did some earlier math.
Take the Min scout and get him to 10.38 m/s with no stamina.
He will beat all scouts in the long run for about 500m (I think, where is the data on this?)
The crossover for favoring stamina over speed was somewhere around 800m (Once again, I THINK. Someone link to the data)

Iron Wolf Saber wrote:Cyrius Li-Moody wrote:When thinking about stamina you have to consider it's two uses currently in game: the marathon at the beginning of a match, and your ability to sustain motion during hectic fights. One of the prime abilities of a scout on CQC maps is the ability to be nearly everywhere at once. Your stamina dictates not just your survivability but how aggressive you can be in combat. It dictates how much presence you can have on the battlefield. When you run out of stamina you are easily hunted down and killed. Most of my deaths when I'm on a roll come from when I finally run out of stamina and can no longer kite/run away from my enemy.
In these realistic applications of stamina and aggression, a scout must take breaks to refill his stamina pool. Even with a complex regulator a minmatar/gallente/caldari scout has to wait for a very long time once he runs out of stamina or he will have to choose to continue to fight with in a weakened state. A scout entering a fight with less than half a stamina bar and runs into something unexpected is probably going to die.
With a bonus to pool AND regen the realistic applications of stamina on an Amarr scout means this: With it's higher EHP and juggernaut like stamina he will be able to remain aggressive until his HP runs out. Not the other other way around like every other scout. You spend practically no time with regen (you're not supposed to be about HP regen anyway). You can remain aggressive until you 1. Run out of ammo 2. Get killed.
No scout is sprinting 100% of the time. Sometimes it feels like it but it's not. Especially if you're jumping over railings a lot. The Amarr's regen and pool size means it will practically never see it's stamina depleted in most situations. My math is quickly supporting this. Max Regulator setup and skills 1964 Stamina 194 Which means seconds of running 30 Jumps in a row 350 stamina regen a second Just making a big jump over a hill and you recover all the stamina used for the jump and then more while maintaining speed.
That sounds amazing actually.
I'll stick with my burst sprinting though. I don't jump too much in combat.

And this is why I always take a cardiac and may actually use a proto now from time to time because of the additional low. Not that I jump in combat but crossing a field to then have to jump boxes. Running into the hills and faced by terrain when being shot at. Running into an enemy after sprinting for a while. All times when you will need more stamina.
My scout is made for city enviroments.
Less jumping, more sprinting around corners. Hence why I put two Complex Kincats on my suit.
If I had to, I could put on a stamina module for other terrain.
I love my new scouts flexibility.

A point of view is perspective, if you hold your perspective as the only valid way of seeing things then yes, you are right. Though if you understand other perspectives, view things in multiplicity and done only adhere to linear or black and white approaches then it's not an argument, because there is not a right or wrong, just difference.

Conversations that require CCP can and should break off from this hub of thought and start a thread anew. This is rather interesting in the sense that it showcases the strength or rather the tenacity of a small but passionate community of players. One can only hope that some time in the far flung future of this game and forum alike that there will still be a scout registry thread ever increasing, ever growing in its body of work.

Like, i dunno, 2% per level? Amarr Commando. Increasing the damage for a pistol on a scout is extremely dangerous. If they want more damage they should risk their tank. I ran pistols and knives for a long time and even with zero proficiency skills an ADV pistol will give a proto suit witha proto weapon with proper skills invested a large run for it's money. A scout with an extra 10% plus 10% for a damage mod plus cloaking with a pistol would be absolutely ridiculous. Plus we need to be careful how we buff marauder. Damage mods will no longer be 10% at complex. Also TTK is getting increased, partially with some weapons getting base damage nerfs, so hard to tell which weapons will still be as powerful as they currently are. Though I ultimately agree that damage bonuses are very dangerous. An ammo capacity bonus on the other hand would be nice, since the scrambler pistol does chew through its batteries.
I think an ammo capacity buff would be great.

Flaylocks don't need a bigger clip. They need more damage (direct and splash). More... DAMAGE? On a zero PG sidearm ?!?!? The damage is borderline-OP as it is. If you want even more damage, then in my opinion, you should ask for a "light weapon" varient of the flaylock.
If it does enough damage, then why do you want a bigger clip?
Also, Core Flaylock is 45 CPU, 2 PG.

So, you claim that you only have one fit with a flaylock.
You only got one kill with the thing. (Minus a few stealth distance kills)
And you are telling me, a person who has used this as a primary side for the past two months that the damage on the flaylock is borderline OP.

I only got one kill with it, because I suck at using it. I dont adjust to the travel time well. Meanwhile, there are folks such as (yourself?) who can reliably hit with the thing. The test of OPness is how the weapon does, with areasonably skilled user. You dont judge how powerful a Duvolle AR is, by dropping it in the hands of an Academy merc. (Gee, they died just as fast. Guess it isnt a particularly good weapon...) Or do you claim that you like using it, but you dont land many shots on target with it either? And that no-one else can, even when they've been using it for a long time? Seems like I can recall reading a few posts by people to the contrary on that.
I want a damage buff for a very simple reason.
I shouldn't be using a full clip to kill every target I see.
Tanked Proto suits require two clips to kill, even with direct shots. It doesn't deserve to be called a sidearm.
SMG can take down a target in one clip
ScP can take down a target in one clip.
Knives can take down a target in one shot ffs.
Flaylock can land 3 full direct shots and have targets go "What?" and have time to turn around. Thank god it has a good reload speed.
If you give it a bigger clip to counter this, you do nothing but cater to people who refuse to learn how to use a skill shot weapon.
Lets keep it hard to use, but reward it's good use. I want to deal 431 damage to armor with a direct shot. It's a freaking missle hitting you in the chest with no shields. That thing should hit you so hard it's not even funny.

Also, a Proto Flaylock with a direct bodyshot will deal 151 damage to shields. This will remove a basic, unskilled minmatar scouts shields, and then deal 64 damage to his armor. He will survive.You can also take out more than one opponent in a single clip, if you kill one with a headshot. Don't even get me started on getting headshots on strafing targets with headshots. Unless you got an aimbot, you are NOT going to be pulling that off on a regular basisAnd for your XYZ can take down a target claims.. it depends on the target, and where you hit it. A scrambler pistol CANNOT take down a heavy, or a well tanked logi (or even a highly tanked assault) with one clip of body shots (well maybe if you have clipsize maxed, but not normally). You have to land at least 1 headshot, to do it in 1 clip. So in that sense, it is currently already comparable to ScP. Except the ScP gets an enormous bonus to Headshot damage and has a projectile that travels INSTANTLY. Pulling off headshots is not difficult with the ScP. Flaylock is a whole different story. Also, A TT-3 can deal 562 damage to shields in 6 shots with no proficiency. You can now deal 281 damage to armor with the remaining 5 shots. This will kill any Cal Assault you encounter that isn't dual tanking with 300+ armor. WITHOUT headshots. Quote: If you give it a bigger clip to counter this, you do nothing but cater to people who refuse to learn how to use a skill shot weapon.
erm.. I think thats making a really odd, out of thin air statement, that is just an opinion, rather than fact. i could just as easily say, "adding more damage to this, does nothing but cater to people who refuse to learn how to headshot with a skill shot weapon". Your statement is no more valid, or less valid, than the one i just made. Go and actually use the flaylock. Getting body shots is the name of the game, NOT abusing it's splash. If you give the Flaylock the same damage, but give it a 6 round clip, you will see people do nothing but SPAM the gun in CQC. Not how a "skill shot" weapon is supposed to work. Skill shot weapons should have high Alpha damage, and low clip sizes, to ensure that if you use it incorrectly, you pay for it. High Risk, High Reward.Quote: Lets keep it hard to use, but reward it's good use. I want to deal 431 damage to armor with a direct shot. It's a freaking missle hitting you in the chest with no shields. That thing should hit you so hard it's not even funny.
Okay, that's your opinion. A differing opinion would be, "a sidearm has no business doing as much damage as a shotgun, on body shots. ESPECIALLY at 8x the range" (yeah yeah its 50 points less. but its still fairly equivalent) Also, yes it's a missle, but it's a *small* missile. It's not a grenade launcher. Small missle? Does it matter? It's dumbfire, so it's just a container packed with explosives with a rocket strapped to the end. Everyone knows a small, fast moving object has some amazing force behind it. Combine that with an explosive warhead, and you have something that will ruin someone's day if you hit them with it. Grenade launchers focus more on a larger explosion and a slower projectile. They have less impact force, but more splash. Remember this equation: F=MV^2. Increasing the speed by a factor of 2 increases total force by a factor of 4.
As for shotgun damage? Shotgun pellets hit almost instantaneously. Not difficult to hit targets with. If someone can hit me with a Flaylock from 5+m away in the chest (in strafe), I would be more amazed by the shot than by the damage. That thing is crazy hard to use. So... increasing clip size, would directly address your complaint of "I shouldn't be using a full clip to kill every target I see. ". You've set your mind against it, for odd reasons. but it is one solution to your core complaint. It is A Solution. Not a good one. As I said, it would do nothing but draw out engagements. I don't want to be firing 4+ rounds at a target to kill them. It's staple among the sidearms is high alpha damage without headshot application. A quick shot to the chest or 2 quick splashes to the ground. If you only give this gun a larger clip, you will see people just spamming shots and hoping they get lucky. Not what I want to see happen to this gun.
I believe I have answered all of your counter arguments. Please read the bold.

This would fit with the whole relentless Amarr lore stuff perfectly and is very much a combat focused skill, which goes well with them being a very aggressive race. Wow, yeah, that sounds like my favorite one so far. Yes.....and given that EVE side laser tech has not ammunition values and is essentially limitless..... However I strikes me as and oddity, not a bad bonus by any means, just odd. True, it's a bit outside the box and possibly hard to implement but could be cool - would have to entirely replace the stamina bonus though I reckon. No dice then. Stamina bonus is by far the best fitting and only worth while bonus left to the Amarr on this one. I already dropped my argument down from Complex Cardiac Regulator.

Also, stop trying to bring up headshots as the magical cure to DPS. They are there for EXTRA damage, not to make up for terrible base stats.
Yet ironically, YOU bring up headshots for the scrambler pistol. I think you're not thinking calmly about this (as shown by that dichotomy), so I wont attempt to reply to your post further on that.
I'm getting frustrated because you have no experience with the weapon, no data to back anything up, and you just don't seem to grasp the points I am trying to make! (or are just refusing to acknowledge them)
I specifically stated that ScP's do NOT need headshots to give them a good DPS. READ MY MATH. An ScP WITHOUT proficiency can take down a shield tank in one clip to the chest.
A fully specced out Flaylock can't do the same to an Armor tank. Not even close.
Here is some more data for you!
TT-3 actually does 84 damage instead of 75. Here is the new damage to a Cal assault, with 600 shields and 200 armor.
First 6 shots will deal 600 damage to shields, and 23 damage to armor. You now have to deal 177 damage to kill target.
You can deal that last 177 damage in 3 shots. You still have 2 shots left in the clip.
Now lets try the same experiment with a Proto Flaylock with Proficiency. Against an armor tank, with 200 shields 600 armor.
1st shot deals 156 damage to Shields. DIRECT shot to the chest.
2nd shot deals 44 damage to shields, and 140 damage to armor. Direct again.
3rd Shot deals 260 armor damage. Direct again. Target is still alive with 200 armor left.
Reload.
4th shot (Direct) Finally kills target. If he had regen going, he might even survive the fourth shot (I only killed him by 60 hp. A good rep hive could save him during reload.
Do you see the problem here? Not to mention that a ADV ScP with no prof outperforms a Proto Flaylock with full proficiency against ideal targets, but it also hits it's targets instantly and gets a 4x bonus to headshot damage.
Flaylock has a delayed fire and only 1.4x damage to headshots, along with requiring more TTK.
It needs a rebalance, and Damage is the only way to fix both it's TTK and it's underperformance.
I expect a decent, well thought out reply when I get back from my chem class.

Requiring a scout to use 2 dampeners full time is a BAD decision.
1) The cloak dampens you as well, which will allow one to forgo a damp on a low if you can manage your cool downs effectively, which I image will be a skill that will need mastering 2) Scale up in dampening as necessary, you only need to run it high for those particular situations (or drop it entirely for a pure slayer fit if your not a gal scout and can't dodge it at all) Yes which is what the system is going to be now that I like. A good scout who can manage his cloak stamina will only have to run a dampener when they pull out a focused.
An my scout will run so fast, even a focused can't keep up with me

Yup. And I believe that is EVERYTHING in the tree.
I am close to being able to do that, but I would have only a proto suit and no weapons.
So, I'll probably dump 13mil into upgrades, Get a Proto and Adv Suit and then get 2 weapons to proto.

Yah.. the problem isnt 14 year olds talking, per se. It's - 14 year olds trying to act like they're 20 and "cool". (hint to those children: we know you're not 20. and you're still not cool) or - 14 year olds just flapping their mouths off non-stop, whining about either how bad they're doing, or how bad the team is doing. --edit; 14 year olds flapping their mouths off non-stop bragging how GOOD they're doing, is just as annoying, btw. Think King Thunderwhatsit.
Age is independent of what you are saying.

Also, had some great rounds today with the shotgun.
I ran my Glass Cannon fit:
Scout M/1 Series
2x Complex Light Damage Modifier
K5 Specialist Shotty Specialist Flaylock
1x Adv Kincat 1x Adv Stamina
1 shots almost everything. Non heavies are gone in two shots. Heavies still take around three.
I only have 209 eHP though, So I gotta be able to take em down in one shot. I still get killed a lot when you turn a corner into a fresh spawn. I don't have enough time to scream in anger before I got shot down.
Round Total with that kit:
21-7
1400WP

With over 2.5k players in one spot, the lag is unbelievable.
Cost so Far:
3 Trillion ISK in Titans ALONE
Apparently, the fight has already cost over $80k USD (If you tried to buy the ISK with Plex's)
I tried asking in the feed about the total ISK lost for everything, but they said nobody can keep up with the dreadnaught death tally.

(streaming feeds) Edit: DAMNIT PATRICK YOU RUINED MY DOUBLE POST Edit #2: you shall now be known as Post Blocker PatrickGǪ I need to start making hate videos about you Don't those require Billions (with a B) of ISK and multiple months to manufacture? Cus DAMN that's intense. Who are the main combatants? (I'm assuming the CFC has something to do with this....?) Found this: http://evenews24.com/2014/01/27/liveb-5rb-dropped-sov-massive-fight-is-brewing-live/No idea what any of this means :P
Okay, short rundown.
The fighting sides are CFC and PL (Pandemic Legion).
SOV is short for Soverignty. I think you can guess what that means. Whoever has SOV has control of that section of space, and gains a lot of benefits. It is granted by stations (immovable platforms) and you have to pay bills to keep it running.
PL forgot to pay their bills, and now CFC jumped in a huge fleet to take advantage of this and take control of that pocket of space. They dropped their own station, and have to defend it for 8 hours.
Que gigantic freaking battle over a single asset. It's awesome.
For comparison, The Battle of Asakai made gaming news about a year ago (which was started over a mis-click lol) only lost around 3 titans, 6 supercarriers and some assorted capitals. It was one of the largest battles in recent history, and totaled around $17k USD in losses.
This battle has already lost around 22 titans, and over $80k in losses.
This is huge. I can't wait until us Dust Bunnies get dragged into conflicts like this

4,914,115,664,837.80 ISK lost. (Almost 5 trillion. Still less than the US debt) Which equates to $146,656.78 USD.
All wasted in the last 24 hours.

So Patrick, KTB said that you have officially apologized to him and said that we are all wrong.
Any truth to this? Have you seen the light?

He doesn't hate any of us. We pay him.
Seriously though, why does all of his statements fly in the face of what he actually says and does?
Here are some direct quotes from his videos against Patrick
"Most people won't even know you existed when you die" "This is the reason why your family doesn't want to talk to you or spend time with you" "Most people don't care about your opinions, that is the truth, they really don't"
My favorite: "I'm trying to make them look bad because they have low self esteem" <----- What? So you admit that you are essentially trying to be a cyber bully?
I've told him that I am not going to waste any more of my time on him (even though I only spent about 5 minutes on average typing up counter arguments.).
After that comment, he sent me back the single largest comment I have ever received.
Wow, I was gonna post the comment here, but it hits the character limit. Look to the next post.

KTB wrote: I would rather be me than to be you. You are using projection as a way to throw your unwanted feelings on to me and others the same way the rest of the haters are choosing to. That is how you block out your anxiety and your depression temporarily. I am simply a better man than you. Your responses are not going to make you feel better. The truth is you did not deny anything i said which further proves you have guilt. It looks like all the time you spent in the Dust 514 forums complaining about me has not made you feel better as you have not accomplished anything. You actually make me look better than you as i am better at life than you. My post points out that everything you are complaining about you are actually doing which is where you contradict yourself. Remember you started it, you overlook how patrick57 said he was wrong but i did not kick him while he was down. You never bring that up. If he can admit he is wrong than why cant you? When you disrespect someone to begin with then you must be able to take what you dish out and you simply have not done that. I can tell you are angry and depressed, but that does not scare me. I dont hate you, but you hate me. You are actually harassing me when i am not harassing you. All of your responses are like blank messages. I am empathetic for any human being struggling. I actually wish you and your family and your friends more success and good health, but see you haven't wished me any good as you are wishing evil upon me. That is proof i am humble and you are not. I will make a video about all of you guys and it wont be what you expect. I can tell you been abandoned and you struggle to accept rejection. You struggle to take constructive criticism and you want to be overly critical of everyone else. You guys cant are like a group of people trying to jump one guy and you still get beaten down and lose. I find that to be interesting. You have some inner demons that i dont have. Matter of fact the Devil is clapping for you the more you respond. You are sinister and your motive was not a sincere one to begin with. If someone punched you in the face and it wasn't me, but then i use your argument and say you cant say or do anything i know you would not listen to me. What if someone sent you hate mail for hours, days , weeks, months and was trying to make you look bad in public and what if i told you that you should let them push you around and that you should not do anything to defend yourself? You would disagree with me and you would defend yourself. See you want freedom of speech, but you dont want me to have freedom of speech as if you are hiding something like you are afraid of me. You started off attempting to troll, but failed miserably then you got angry when i told you the truth. You little guys are too dull and not funny enough to troll and you care too much about stats and looks with the public when a troll does not care about that stuff. I am making money off of you as i already did when i put your name on the video. You are trying to lecture me when you cant take your own advice and you continue to come on my channel and watch my videos while paying me from previous videos. You are too late. Its funny how i am getting even more subs and views and more money. This means the majority of the world disagrees with you haters . You wont respond to my supporters, that alone proves you haters are scared. Have you ever wondered why most of my videos are not about exposing people? Have you ever wondered why we dont get along, but i get along with most viewers. Take a look in the mirror and what do you see? I see a person who takes all the important people and things for granted. You little guys are not tough enough and cannot survive out there on your own especially where i am from. You need more than a grandiose argument with thick skin. I am too smart and too strong for you. I have too much wisdom. I have been there and done that. You want revenge dont you? You want the last word dont you? You will fail every time. I upload the most wins so there should be no argument about who is better cause you know i am, but that is not the most important thing. You have not even mentioned God, but you call yourself humble. Then you ask me why should i expect you little guys to be humble. I dont feel entitlement like you. You act like i owe you something but i dont. You must earn respect to get it and in order for you guys to feel better there must be mutual respect and a clean conscience which you dont have that is why you are here on my channel looking to get rid of your guilt in the wrong way. You want me to feel you pain dont you. Well feel no guilt. I feel good. I dont regret what i said. I meant it. Its not personal from my end, but you are making it personal which wont benefit you or them. It must hurt to see me succeed, but you guys dont. You know you could always admit you are wrong and you all would feel much better. I gave Patrick57 credit when he admitted he was wrong, i would do the same for you guys. I do show mercy. I have showed you guys mercy the entire time. I did not wish evil, sickness or death among you or your friends and your families. You will reap what you sow. You guys simply are not smart or mature enough to troll or to even debate let alone fight. You guys cant keep your composure. You are using projection to try and make me and everyone else unhappy cause you are unhappy. Yes you are narcissistic. Remember i did not go back and forth from youtube to the Dust 514 forums leaving comments to make you look bad, but you were trying that to make me look bad and it just made me look better. Just look at the comments on my channel that are positive. It proves you guys are wrong. I defeated you all. I defeated you haters as i showed you mercy. I didn't say jump off a cliff or drown or die. I actually pray for you all, but you dont pray for me. You dont want me to complain, but you complain.

You think you know everything, but its actually better to know what is important, not every single then cause if you know too much then you have failed too much. Its like Adam and Eve wanting to know the Good and the Bad when they did not have to do that. You choose to start stuff, so i finish it by shutting your arguments down. You are being worn down and you dont even know it. You will not progress in life until you learn to mind your business and fix yourself not others. If you believed what you were saying then you would not be on my channel and you would not even mention my name to anyone else. I dont follow you around, you follow me. Now do you see why i am better off being me and not you no disrespect? I have not made the mistakes you made. You sent the hate-mail first this means you are wrong. It doesn't matter what you say or think. You are wrong as well as the other people defending you. Cowards click up. Don't be a coward.n++

Oh yes, no disrespect, you're just saying that another person is terrible and you wouldn't be them for anything in the world. But no hard feelings.

I got that skill to 5 before I put points into Engineering or Electronics past the pre-req for scanning skills. I've got 1 mil SP saved up for cloak. Right now I'm putting points into Shield Regulators, something I never believed I'd spend SP on, but I want it for my Cal-Scout. Also, Ghost, go check out my super sexy scout builds on the other threads, they all require core upgrades, electronics, and engineering to 5 with light weapons and sidearms to at least 4. lol.
Yeah, but for the most part, the CPU/PG saved on those skills past III is very small compared to the huge amount of SP it takes to get those to V.
It is far more SP efficient to get them to III and just work around the meager CPU/PG differences instead.

Okay, whew, thanks!! I've only just passed 13M SP, so even if we get a respec I won't be able to get one to proto unless I give up on some of my other skills. Even cashing in my Assault SP only gets me to level 4 scout LOLZ you're obviously doing something wrong I have 16.2m sp, im about to get proto in 380k sp I have 3.2 mil in assault dropships, so your doing something wrong. Your probably speced in level 5 shields and armor, so, yea, 1 or the other
Proto is overrated. I have 20mil SP and NO PROTO SUITS. And I still can kick ass on the battlefield. (Granted though, when I get that respec, I will have Proto Scout on the first day. But that is only around 2.5mil of my SP. Around 13mil of it is going straight into Upgrades, to max out CPU/PG, Hack Speed, Dampening, and Shields. Also includes Kincats, Hand-to-Hand, Proto Cloak, and Range upgrades to V)
You'll get that shiny new proto and find out that it is expensive as hell to run, and will switch to ADV for the majority of the time.
Hence why getting very good core skills and maxing your ADV suit is a better move than getting Proto before you are ready for it.
TL;DR Ignore this man.
You should be trying to max out your ADV suit before moving onto proto suits.
Only exception is when you are simply trying to make a PC ready suit ASAP (in which it's better to spend the SP on upgrades and just run LP or AUR Proto suits.)

Utility Electronics Tank Speed Alpha

So you can get combinations of "sidearm, electronic, Lurker", or other combinations.
There would have to be a hierarchy in which if you have a light weapon (combat rifle) and a nova knife, you still get classified as a light weapon build only because your threat range with the light weapon trumps its associated sidearm it has with it. I like it. I'm a shotgun / scrambler alpha assault... That doesn't sound right tho :((
ACR Assassin Speed Assault <---- Sounds like your typical Minja

Bleh. Glad I'm done with that stuff (at least until I go back and get my Masters). Do you have to take Differential Equations after Calc? Those problems make Calc ones look like simple arithmetic.

Thank God no. Cal II, and Physics II + Lab is all I have to take for my Major. After that, it's Chem, Chem, Chem. Ugh, Chemistry. Not that I don't like Chemistry, I actually started out as a Chemical Engineering major, but I ended up having to switch to Computer Science because I'm terrible at lab work and I'll graduate faster. I've finished a minor in mathematics, though: Calculus I-IV, Differential Eq/Linear Algebra, and Discrete Structures (the only one I was actually good at). Calc III was a *****, infinite series, 3D graphing, and integrals over polar coordinates. Calc IV wasn't that bad though, iterated integrals over 3D Cartesian and spherical/cylindrical polar coordinates, basically just do what you did in calc II-III 2-4 times on the same equation. It was worth it to finish my last Calc IV assignment and to find the beginning of the appendix on the next page, it was fulfilling to realize I had finally made it from cover to cover of the calculus book.
I CAN do math, I just don't like it. Don't get me wrong, number crunching is fun (at times, and dang useful too), but when on earth am I going to be calculating integrals by partial fractions and trigonometric substitution BY HAND?
I love Chem Lab on the other hand though. I have the class at 7:30am for around 2.5 hours once a week, and it's 2.5 hours I never feel is wasted. I love the lab environment. I can't wait to finish all my math and focus on the science.
Hence why I'm going for a Chem/BioChem major. It's a gateway degree to a lot of different fields in chemistry. I can use this to go straight into lab work or go and get a Pharm degree if I want to (what my original plan was). It's comprehensive for me, so no minor required.

Ah you haven't had fun until you've survived multivariable calculus and linear algebra. Though high level probability and stats is pretty terrible too. Just look forward to p chem. It's just one of those things you go through as a rite of passage. Oh and analytical (quantitative) chemistry, for some reason other people had a problem with sitting in front of a titration for 2 hours just to find out how much calcium was in the solution.....for some reason I thought it was great.... @Appia Molecular genetics was by far my favorite course in undergrad (was the main reason I continued on to grad school in a biomedical field instead of chem) Did my first cloning project in molecular genetics lab using a plasmid construct to introduce siRNA into Arabadopsis. Totally incomprehensible to layman (more or less) (no people, not cloning animals, recombinant genetics in bacteria and plants, which still sounds nefarious but is in reality far more banal and boring than you can imagine)
My Advisor Recommended Calc III before taking P chem. Not happening, but I know that will be a tough class.
As for Titrations? I did two in high school Chem. They were fun!
I can't wait to do them in lab and see the inevitable 2-3 people get aggravated that it's taking too long, dump in a bunch of acid, and then blow right past the end point. Have fun restarting your titration!

Don't worry. We have an awesome 470+ page long forum to confirm we were scout vets before 1.8 But still the reason why we need to be circumspect in the buffs we ask for and give feedback on. Ugghh I don't want to be FOTM....even if we went all hipster and did it before it was cool. Edit: Also we need to get working, we're only at 453 pages right now
I have faith that we will hit 470 before 1.8

In my opinion That was enough without giving us extra equip and slots from 5 to 6. I will be happy running complex everything but I feel it won't take long for the community to realize the scout is where the fun is at. Scouts have always been where the fun is at ;). I wouldn't call the buffs too much, they might make scouts on par with the medium suits though... hopefully, 'cause I have a feeling it'll be some time before we get another chance. Scouts will, however, become the FOTM for at least a while -- but that'd happen even if they nerfed us to the ground 'cause people will want to play around with cloaks. Maybe for most normal scouts this isn't too much but after looking at those stats I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a GOD on the battlefield. Speed hacking objectives 45% faster with 340shields 150 armour running 10.38 only being scanned by a proto scanner having a cloak with an advanced combat rifle and ishakone nova knives. Idk sounds op to me
Dump the third shield extender and run a melee mod.
Say hello to 210 melee. Perfect for rushing someone with a CR and meleeing them to finish them off.
It's like the BR combo from Halo.

Yup.
50% base + 50% multiplier for skill.
1 complex Mybo = 1.75x melee damage.
I trade 73 shields for an amazing 210 melee.
I did the math for my ACR. Firing the gun for 1 second and following with a melee, I can deal 770dmg.
That is some CQC prowess right there

So it zeroes you in for that knock out punch.
Yup. Knives will be for Surprise attacks.
ACR+Melee will be my go to combo when surprised in CQC (like when you turn a corner and all of the sudden there is a guy 5m away and is about to turn and face you.
Combine with 10.38 m/s, and I should be able to quickly close the distance, spray ACR point blank and melee him.
Not only that, but the scout can melee indefinitly with the new stamina recharge rate

High School can be the most fun thing of your life. I just graduated last year, and I still miss a lot of the things I did in high school (football, weights, band, the games etc.).
Don't let the opportunity pass by, if you want to even try something GO FOR IT.
I joined the football team to spite a friend who said I couldn't do it (I also wanted to try it myself to see if I could)
F--K him, I did it for 4 years straight, and I freaking loved it.
Music has stayed with me my whole life, because of how much fun I had in marching band (I miss it every day, and I hear the college band play on a daily basis)

Eh, coulda been the school I went to. Wasn't horrible, but it was terribly boring, and the teachers only let certain people even try out for the teams. Like the rugby team, loved the game, but I was denied access to trying out, the only one I could was the debate team. I hate debating. I used to be decent at golf, but I lost interest in taking it seriously so I just drive the balls down the field for stress relief from time to time. College is a blast, really has been the best time I've had so far.
Our school won't let teachers turn you down for teams (unless they were by audition, such as baseball or Drumline).
I was okay at football. I NEVER started a game in my life, but I was always on scout team (Made for some painful practices though. I remember the time I got laid out by the other teams RB at full sprint. I took that hit like a champ.)
I made some great friends and had a blast at practice. I'm a big advocate for American Football. With the right coach, you can learn a lot more than football in the camps. I learned more than one life lesson, and most importantly, that there is no reason to not try your hardest at something.
Making friends with people is surprisingly easy when you've trained, fought, lost and won together. I personally knew that my teammates would flat out carry you on their backs if they had to (which we did on more than one occasion. Coach even made us carry another team-member on our back and run stairs at one point. I may not be the best at football, but my QB knew for a fact that I could carry him up and down a set of stairs 20 times if I had to. Nothing builds trust like that.)
Dangit, now I'm getting all nostalgic

I mainly Played saftey (There was only 6 people on our team faster than me in 40 times), but moonlighted as corner every now and then.
Getting hit by RB's at full speed SUCKS. I then yell at my linebackers for not slowing them down (They get to full speed when they aren't touched AT ALL). I can't just let him run for free, so I run into him and aim for the legs. I only weigh like 170 though, so I got ran over most of the time. FB was even worse, as the guy was easily 230 and could run faster than I could
I played RB myself after they found out I couldn't even catch a cold. In my defense, I CAN catch just fine in backyard football and when playing safety. There was just some mental block that killed me when I would realize that if I caught the ball on scout Offense, our Defense would DESTROY ME (They got 3rd at state for a reason. They were brutal).
But yeah, football is fun. Makes you really tough after a few years too.

Then you get into the lab and decide, "nothing ever works, **** these western blots, better go play on the forums" So in a sense you get paid to forum warrior. Every now and then you might duck off and do something sciency but that's pretty rare. However, the non-denatured absolute ethanol is a nice perk too. (just kidding...........or am I?)
I would also be fine with getting paid to be a forum warrior.

Not daily, I work part time. 20 hours a week at best (Hours got cut after Obamacare was implemented. THANKS OBAMA). It's also so mentally un-stimulating it's not even funny.
I complain about my job a lot, but that's only because I'm not paid what I should be. I'm still getting minimum wage when I routinely outperform my co-workers despite only having been here for a year.
I help the managers take inventory because most can't do mental math to save their life (and nobody can find the calculator because nobody knows how to put things back where they find them)
I keep reminding people above me on the chain of command about the proper way to fix a problem (fix the cause, not the symptom). I still end up fixing half the problems on my shift (Fixing the drain on the sinks, problems with the CO2 system and soda, putting doors back together because people slam them and bolts come off, etc. etc. etc. )
And despite all of this, they decide that my "raise" I get after a year of working there was the $0.25 raise to minimum wage that EVERYONE got.
I'm gonna keep the job for the semester, and the NOPE the F**K outta there during the summer. My dad is gonna try and get me a job where he works as a mechanics assistant. $10-12 an hour and roughly 40 hours a week. I should pull enough money to afford next years tuition and possibly move out.
Until then? Grit my teeth and wait it out.

I promise to never bring up my job AGAIN.

Yes, I've written short stories for a bit, and now that I feel I kind of have some experience with writing I decided to give a novel a shot, hopefully to turn into a series. What's the worst that could happen? I'm still detailing the whole thing, but it'll be something along the lines of a space exploration Sci-Fi. Detailing first encouters with aliens and the tension it causes back on earth. Possibly something like that. Still highly changable. Sure, if you want I guess you could start reading some of it when I have a few chapters done, help me develop it.

I wouldnt mind reading some of it either (no Pro experience just a fan) - Hard thing I find is keeping your story fresh. So much Sci Fi bleeds into each other so you always have to be on guard.

It's true about income for science careers. Pretty low income IMO. You are either a grunt and do the real science(what I like) or you get payed bank and sit in an office all day(ick).
Ive always thought money doesn't really matter, you just gotta be happy. If you don't enjoy your profession you should probably change it.
On the side I brew my own beer, grow my own yeast and help out at a local brewery. It's what takes up most of my time and a really fun hobby. I also do a bit of woodworking but just don't have the space in our current house....perhaps someday when I get a larger garage. My last project involved making a coffee table out of an old door.
It's exciting to see the variety us scouts bring to the table.
Shotty, I'll send ya some beer for your big day :). Whatever style you want, you let me know.
If we are still here in three years, can you send me a pack for my big day?
On a side note:
What types do you brew? Preferences? Cool/weird facts about brewing?

That was the point. I kept the record because of that.
Most teams boil down to a simple formula.
You have 2-3 sweepers (made to KO other Poke) 1 Utility (for hazards, buffs, phasing, etc) 1 Wall (to absorb damage) and 1 Extra Poke to fill up any holes.
My team runs 3 sweepers (Garchomp, Latias, and Tyranitar. Two Physical, one Special sweeper) My Utility/Wall is Forretress (He does both really well) My Main Wall was Gastrodon (made to patch up a major water weakness on my team) My Extra was Magnezone (who was used to eliminate steel types for a Garchomp sweep later, and doubled as a special sweeper)
Most Fights revolve around switching and countering, and end with a sweep.
This fight boiled down to my Wall versus his Wall. Neither had too much offensive power, and both resisted the other's stabs.
So it became a race to see who would run out of PP first. We chatted back and forth the whole time, and it was funny as hell that it dissolved to this.
Hope that explains it.

I remembered fighting Red's team from Pokemon Crystal when I was a kid.
My team would tear his shreds with no problems if I fought him. The game is for kids. The competitive is where the real skill goes down.
Kinda the same for Super Smash Brothers Melee. I've been wanting to hit the competitive scene for that for awhile.

I'm really excited for 1.8 now. I will DEFINITELY be speccing into Min Assault on the side.
25% bonus to Clip size for Projectiles, and +1 Per level to Explosive weapons.
8 Round Flaylock. I would prefer a damage buff, but this will help it's problem of not being able to kill in a clip.
Also, some other predictions. Due to the how they are setting up the shield recharge rates, this is my predictions for the Assault suit recharge rates.
Currently, it's Commando < Sentinel < Logi < Assault < Scout for shield recharge rates.
Due to the currently released values for Shield recharges, here is my guess for the rates:
Min Assault: 30 hp/s Cal Assault: 40 hp/s Gal Assault: 20 hp/s Amr Assault: 20 hp/s
This is roughly in between the Sentinel and Scout recharge rates. This makes sense when you look at the values
Cal Commando: 20 hp/s Cal Sentinel: 30 hp/s Cal Assault: ? Cal Scout: 50 hp/s
Min Commando: 18 hp/s Min Sentinel: 20 hp/s Min Assault: ? Min Scout: 40 hp/s
See how the logic works?
Anyways, gonna build my new MK.0 Assault, and see how it works, then go to sleep.

Perhaps certain things like snipers and scouts give a buff to the number of tags you can have active and/or the length of time the tag lasts after losing LOS? Then sniper scouts would suddenly become really useful - oh yes I think the registry lads will like this! Hate it. Hate it so much. How long have you been playing DUST? Do you remember how the game was before they took away shared team vision? This is what you would be doing if you gave non-snipers the ability to tag people. Also keep it on the down-low but scout's passive scans are shared with your squad. well, not entirely accurate, all passive scans are shared within a squad but usually you don't notice when it comes from someone not using a scout suit.
1.8 build. I guarentee you Gal/Cal scouts will become viable squad mates for a slayer squad.
Once you hit 100m passive scans that scan at ADV level or higher, every slayer will want you in their squad.
It's just like having the old wall hack back (except justified, as the scout class will actually SCOUT the enemy team.)
Now if only we got intel points for it......

ACR is hard to get used to, but it has more range and similar DPS.
Hipfire is more accurate, but you have less overall damage in the clip.
You need to get sharpshooter to 3 at least, and ammo to 3 to stop you from running out of ammo 24/7.
Hope that helps!

NO.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
It doesn't do enough damage, and is hard to use effectively.
I love the gun cause it's a blast to use, but I seriously do not reccomend using it without proto'ing it out to Proficiency III.

ROF was the problem. It simply killed to fast (And easily due to splash radius).
Fine rifles kill far faster than it does now, and the damage it deals is underwhelming.

Well, radius is fixed now.
So at least gimme my direct damage back. I want that thing to have it's old 230 direct damage so I can hit armor tanks in the chest for 330 damage.
Increase splash by a tiny bit (150,165,180) and leave radius and ROF alone.

I do. Copy paste that fit, but throw on an Enhanced Reactive instead of the stamina, and then a GN-20 instead of Ishnoks.

Just a question about the board - I've been playing since the last time my merc had her funny walk, I'm only invested in Gal scout.
I get that there is/was a constructive point to the board, and im not going to pretend I play/ed an active part of th scout community (or that Im a good scout) but I can't help thinking its a bit weird that it/was also the only way to determine who was scouting before 1.8 was announced...
Like those films about Vampires/Werewolves/Aliens whatever - where apparently you have to register with proclaimed authority because of the sheer nature of being what you are.
And as for suffering...weren't scouts OP in beta?
This all comes across as a bit bitchy - love you guys really.
Beta was a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago.
We have been UP for a very long time, been promised buffs for the past 8 patches, and have only received 1 buff so far.
And that was a 6m base scan buff.
As for the Registry Drama:
Most of the "Vet" Scouts are proud of having run their UP suit despite all of the FOTM builds going on. They want to preserve the fact that they didn't give up on their class even in it's darkest days.
That is why the new registry is getting heat.
It's being populated by "Scouts" who just recently picked up the suit, and are skipping over everything that the scout community has done since 1.0 Uprising.
That is why this list on this registry will not be changed.
Everyone on it has been here from the beginning. We volunteered our data to try and prove to CCP that our beloved class was broken and UP. Most of us could have moved onto other suits and been FAR more deadly, but we didn't. Because we wanted to see the scout brought up to where it should be. That will (Probably) be happening in 1.8, so we want to take pride in what we helped accomplish.
And we don't want to see anyone on that list who didn't contribute.
At least this is how I feel about it. Like this post if you agree with me

Dev Blog is up!
Noted changes from previous info:
Min Scout gets 60 base stamina recharge. This is FANTASTIC (6 seconds of sprint from 1 second of wait. Never run out of stamina again!)
I think that the stamina totals for each suit got buffed as well at base level (Amarr gets 275 base, which gets bumped up to 344 base from suit skills. Recharge goes up to 50/s with proto as well. Damn)
Scan Precision has dropped to 40.
All I'm seeing so far. 1.8 is looking great for scouts!

My new 1.8 Fit
What do you guys think? I think it will be a great Hacking/Infiltration suit.
Proto Cloak + Dampen = Undetectable
Combine with Proto Speed and Hacking. I can hack a point in 6 seconds ( I think? Appia, how do you do the math for this? I think I might be faster than this. 1.1 base + 25% from skill + 25% from suit + 25% from module.)
I will also have a Six Kin ACR and Ishnoks for combat purposes.

We get two new races, two more slots for every suit (equipment!!! and low/high slot) higher base HP/stamina/scan range/CPU/PG, better scan precision (40 dB!!!), reduced scan profile (35 dB!!!), minmatar gets an extra hacking bonus, and a new piece of equipment (cloak) almost solely for scouts.
Did I miss anything? That's a lot of dev hugs right there
I wonder if posting the scanning feedback actually made a difference or if that was already being changed anyways....awww who cares, we got the bonus.
How will this affect scanning on the Cal Scout?

Caldari
Gallente
ALSO: This fitting tool gives you the Hack speed factor for the suits.
My Min scout has a hack speed factor of 2.15. If that means that I hack 2.15 "Units" per second, it means I can hack an Objective in 4.65 seconds.
Hell yeah.

I only have gal scout 5 in DS command.
My only 'wasted' points are about 1-2mil in plasma rifles (and maybe SMGs as I'm a ScP convert now) - the points in PR are there because that was the only rifle for like, forever (the same premise the DS refund was based on?).
The 'worst' thing though is all the people who will be respeccing into gal scouts (if anyone believes another scout will be more popular - I'd genuinely like to hear why).
That being said - cant wait for 1.8, now I just have to try and rearrange my leave for that week instead of March 18th week...
I personally think that none of the scouts are by far the "Best" of the scouts.
Gal and Min are pretty good, but the Cal and Amarr scouts have their own flavors as well.
As for me? I got speed, stealth, hacking, and assassination out the wazzo in my Min Scout.
I wouldn't even dream of going Gal Scout. Just not my thing. I'm to aggressive.

Reposting what I posted earlier.
This is because if you try to click on the links in my or Llast's posts, you will get the blank fittings.

Appia Nappia wrote:Ghost Kaisar wrote: My new 1.8 FitWhat do you guys think? I think it will be a great Hacking/Infiltration suit. Proto Cloak + Dampen = Undetectable Combine with Proto Speed and Hacking. I can hack a point in 6 seconds ( I think? Appia, how do you do the math for this? I think I might be faster than this. 1.1 base + 25% from skill + 25% from suit + 25% from module.) I will also have a Six Kin ACR and Ishnoks for combat purposes. Unless you play PC and are being lagged out, go boundless. So much better, Ghost. Also, so mcuh easier to fit. You also left out a grenade unless you don't use them you can fit a flux there. I'm personally not a big fan of that fit though. It seems too generic. My 1.8 proto min scout with have separate builds for killing, running around, hacking, causing mayhem.
It is generic. It is kinda an "All around" fit, made to be able to respond to several different scenario's at once. I like flexibility. I will probably also have separate fits for other roles, but this will be my "Go to" fit.
Boundless is actually more CPU than the ACR.
I always fight point-blank, so I actually prefer the spraying power of the ACR (Although I can use the Vanilla CR. It's a matter of taste)
As for the grenade, yeah, I forgot it. There should be a flux.
HOW TO SHARE FITS:
Go to detail fits under the fitting tab. Click on it, and there should be a share option. It will give you a link to copy paste.

Dropsuit respec changes nothing for me.
Really disappointed that weaponry was not announced to be refunded. This is really a poor decision. Anyone that wanted to go Commando or Assault and is low SP will either shoehorn themselves into the dropsuit that best fits their weapons or be SOL. Gal-Logi, Gal-Scout, Min-Scout, Cal-Scout. So close, yet so far. At least I won the bet on 1.8 drop date

Important NOTICES!
You do NOT decloak when hacking an objective.
You are basically INVISIBLE when standing still. (Find the scout guys, he is in there)
In CQC, you will NOT be able to move without people noticing. At longer distances, you will still be fairly hard to detect. If you are trying to hide, DO NOT MOVE. THEY WILL NEVER SEE YOU
Also, here is a new gif to use when you want to "Nope" out of a thread lol

Copy/Paste from your previous thread.
Better idea. Hit up the Barbershop in the Locker Room. (Look you already did that!)
We can direct you to the right place
Also: Hit up R0N1N. They train scouts, and Lightning vXv leads it. He is possibly the best Min Scout in the game. (POSSIBLY. It's up to debate, but he is definitely in the top 10)

Just way out of the swing of things.
If you are dying a lot, you are doing it right. I have found taking a break from this game made me really rusty too. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe drop some uplinks and at least get some WP. No need for fine aiming with those things. They also changed the sensitivity. Before it was 1-10 for X and Y. Now it is 1-100for X-hip fire, Y-hip fire, X- aim down sights, and Y-aim down sights. Lots for adjustments. try playing around with it until you find a good one for you.
The moment they changed it, I went to Max on everything.
I played BF3 on Max Sensitivity for three years. Dust still feels slow to me on max.

When you provide evidence and numerical proof your are right perhaps we might revise our position. As of yet you have not and your argument lacks substance except that is of "I AM A SCOUT SO....." Spreadsheets dont make a suit. The Minmatar scout, on paper, looks terrible. But it performs in the field. The Amarr scout, to my eye, looks like it will excel in specific areas while the slot layout allows it to perform reasonably across the board. Particularlary as scouts now have an appropraite baseline to work from (lowered scan profile, higher scan precision and scan radius). You may not agree, and that's fine. But making selective comparisons and calling it evidence doesn't make you right either. I'm not saying I am.....I also wont use the suit....so really have not stake in this. But proof of something trumps gut feeling/ pure speculation any day. You are not Amarr scouting

Excuses.
Water under the bridge though.
This is my reasoning for not wanting to squad with you. Your previous history suggests that you act like a 12 year old (in my eyes at least), and I see no reason to squad with you.
As for letting the past die? That happens with TIME. AND EFFORT.
Squad with some other people. Build a (Good) Reputation. Eventually I will end up in a squad with you if you have proved to me and others that you are actually a decent person behind your forum entity.
I don't squad with people I don't like. If I am in a squad with you, you can safely assume that I enjoy playing with you

Excuses. Water under the bridge though. This is my reasoning for not wanting to squad with you. Your previous history suggests that you act like a 12 year old (in my eyes at least), and I see no reason to squad with you. As for letting the past die? That happens with TIME. AND EFFORT. Squad with some other people. Build a (Good) Reputation. Eventually I will end up in a squad with you if you have proved to me and others that you are actually a decent person behind your forum entity. I don't squad with people I don't like. If I am in a squad with you, you can safely assume that I enjoy playing with you I play with dinizzle, and wow you wont let it go.......so annoying Like I said I posted riht after I got pissedOr should I be a douche again and scam again, would that be better since no one lets **** go?
See the underlined?
That is no excuse for your behavior on the forums. That is an excuse I would expect to hear from a kid in middle school.
And as for this:

Did you even read what I posted earlier? Once again, the immaturity I keep talking about keeps popping up.
/argument
I see no reason to continue this if this is how you are going to react to this.
TL;DR
Build a Good Reputation. Until you have proven that you are a good, mature player, I WILL NOT squad with you.
I didn't want to be a douche about this, but apparently that is the only way to get my point across.

Also, the Minmatar Scout only has 110 melee now.
Damn. That's great, but still too weak IMO
That means with a single Mybo, you can only hit 192.5 Melee

This is what most think but I hope that because of the range and damage, the seize only allows the weapon not to fire but you can still change your weapon. It would be incredibly stupid if you can only fire once at point blank range and then have to twiddle your thumbs while you get slayed.
I hope so.
If it works like that, I might run Ion and Knives.
Charge + Melee for soft targets. As good as a shotgun, and has more range if need be.
Knives for Hard Targets. Tanked Med Frames and Heavies.

By 0.05 m/s
He has slightly higher base eHP (285 compared to the Amarr Scouts 250), but lacks the dampening and scan range the amarr scout will have.
On a sad note, this means that the amarr scout will have trouble breaking 9.0m/s sprint with a single Kincat

I am super tempted to spec into my beloved Gallente SECOND. After kicking the crap out of as many people as I can in a damn Amarr scout suit.
I also have a significant investment in weapon skills... not as much as Ghost's 10M, but maybe 7. Enough to realize I will never fully spec out a weapon again, ever.
Thanks CCP. For screwing me with the change to proficiency and with nerfing the holy hell pistol p!ss out of my scrambler pistol.
I have many a headshot waiting for you in the next Dev match session.
I actually enjoy my versatility.
Here is my list of weaponry (From most SP to least)
Combat Rifle and SMG : Proto and to lvl 3 in All skills except Optim
Flaylock and NK : Proto and to Lvl 2 proficiency (Flaylock has reload 3)
Shotgun : Proto and Pro 1
Sniper : Proto and Pro 1
AR: Op IV and Sharp III ScP: Op IV Mass: Op IV
RR: Op III ScR: Op III Swarm: Op III
Laser: Op I Cannon: Op I
All weapons I have Proto'd can be easily used on a scout. All of them. I don't regret those at all. The other Racial Rifles to III gives me some versatility if I need it (The range of the RR or the shield shredding power of the ScR). Mass I got to IV because Winmatar. ScP I got to IV because I was told the Assault ScP was amazing (and it is). Swarms were there for limited AV capabilities before the nerf bat.
Cannon is the best 12k SP I've ever spent. SOOOO much fun with the cannon.
Overall, I don't feel like its "Wasted". I have options. So I make a LOT of fits that utilize these options. Not much use in PC per se, but in pubs, the versatility is amazing.

I may borrow a page from this book, sir. I wish I had another rifle, the shotgun, knives and perhaps the flaylock all to prof II. And I'd probably still have SP left over if I hadn't spent it all getting every ScP skill to Level V. Damn that OCD!!
Getting skills to level three is VERY cheap. Normally only around a week of grind (214k SP)
I use these to test the weapons. Basic gives you the "Feel" of the weapon, but ADV shows the strengths. If you really enjoy using the ADV variant, get it to Pro (only a bit more SP after that). If you find it on all of your fits all of a sudden, get the extra skills.
You can also read my Guide to Minmatar weaponry on NN for more info on weapons!

If I'm making a fit and it has a profile signature of 35.69 dB, do I still avoid advanced scanners or does it round up to 36 and thus I get scanned by advanced scanners? Area of some debate still In my experience you need below 35.5 to not round up I mean this is using 2 enhanced dampeners even though I have level 5 dampening, and I can exchange one of them for a complex dampener and still be able to fit it. So literally this is a matter of saving 1k ISK per suit. I suppose I just shouldn't be so cheap Honestly, I'm starting to think that it rounds up to the nearest 0.5
Time to head to the testing range?

Found your problem.
Why are you running a Duvolle Quantum Scanner?!?
You're a SCOUT. You have 20m Base scan 24/7 in 1.8. Dump that, and save the 9 PG on that thing.
You could even upgrade to a ADV cloak and throw on a Compact hive.

Depends on if the Overheat locks up your gun.
If yes: Then it will be terrible. You can't OHK with it, and it will be useless after the overheat
If not: Yes. Overheat + Melee or Another weapon. Should do the job quite well.

Ran into a squad today that had two guys running the above with Boundless CR's.
You could sneak up on them, hit them with a charge Ion, and then die as they tank the shot and kill you with a rifle.
They literally ran it like an Assault the entire game.

Proto Damp will stop Cal Scouts from scanning you.

Is there any noticeable difference in how they interact with the cloak? Do all of the new weapons warrant ceaseless QQ or are they okay? Sorry to grill you, I'm excited.
Okay, storytime on the cloak today.
Scene: Gal Reserach Facility, Bravo Letter Time: Beginning of Match
I run up to B, and start my speed hack. Halfway through, I see a blip on my radar. I could finish in time, but I had a better plan.
I stop hacking, back up into the alcove and cloak.
Heavy walks up. Looks around. Looks at me, looks around some more.
Starts to hack.
ET TU HEAVY!?!
STAB STAB STAB.
Hack and continue on my way.
Story #2
Scene: Manus Peak DOM Time: Halfway through match.
I walk up to A and hack. I see blips on passive. Finish and run. Cloak as I turn corner. I peek back into the objective.
Squad of three walks up. One starts shooting at a target in the distance, and the other two hack.
+50 +50
So, #3 notices me. I see the scrambler, so I just book it and cloak as I run.
I turn the corner, and just STOP.
Turn and look.
The guy goes past the corner, and just starts spraying scrambler EVERYWHERE.
I laugh and just walk off.
Cloaks are so much fun

Bugs aside, what would you change?
Not much to change, it's just hell on Min Scouts.
Once again, the red headed stepchild.
Cal Scouts are at the top of the food chain. With a single Precision, they can scan me with a proto damp. I can dodge while cloaked, but not if they run two precisions. I don't use a shotgun, so I lose the alpha battle.
Unless I wanna use Knives/Shotgun, I will always be easy prey to Cal Scouts. I cant kill them before they can close the distance and OHK me.
Not only that, but the sheer number of scouts on the field is STAGGERING.
Everyone is either a scout or Heavy.
Not kidding. Med frames are a rare sight.
Couple this with most people skilling into Cal Scouts due to their ability to tank and their ability to counter-scout, and you have a very not fun patch for non-Gal scouts.
So I spend most of my time trying to knife heavies that don't pay attention, but thats harder to do because of cloaks. All of them are paranoid as **** now. They turn around constantly, and since the cloak does not hide you very well at all within 20m, they just see the shimmer and spray.
The only great thing about this suit is the hack speed. Dear god the hack speed.
It's crazy.
I will say this about 1.8. The most fun I had was 2 hours after the patch hit (When I first got on). There was nowhere near as much scout and heavy spam, and that was truly fun. I was going 11-2 (Not high on the kills) but going 1500 WP + each round. Pop in, get a kill, hack an objective and scamper off.
Now there are so many scouts and heavies everywhere, the battlefield is just freaking CHAOS 24/7.
Not a big fan of that part.

So far, every Min scout that went to proto did it because they loved the suit.

Boom. Done
eHP is not everything.
Pros of my Suit over yours: Sprints faster, longer, and more often. Hacks almost twice as fast Knives can kill almost any hard target easily. You will have to kite or run from heavies I can dodge your scans. You need to run a precision if you are a cal. You sacrifice so much potential. (I can also scan all undamped cal scouts!) Higher melee damage
Cons: Less overall eHP. Less eHP Regen. You have +10 HP/s and 1 sec faster recharge and delay times.
Granted, this is a comparison between a PRO Min scout and an ADV Cal scout.
But seeing what you were fitting the suit with, you would make a PRO Cal just as bad. Shield Extenders are nice, but you lack utility.
Repeat after me: eHP IS NOT EVERYTHING
Notice the huge amount of UTILITY in my scout.
Hack Speed Assassination abilites Higher Overall Mobility
Min Scouts are hard mode for a reason. Their true strength isn't really in the stats. It's about using it's versatility to be as large a benefit to your team as you can.
My Tactics: (For what it's worth) When I run with a squad, I generally run a bit ahead of a squad of a Heavy or two, a logi, and an assault or two. I am the spearhead of the assault. I get in quick, do a check to tell them what they are about to run into, and to try and take down unaware targets before the flank hits.
Kill a target. Run as they target me. In comes squad with the flank.
I maneuver around and flank the enemy AGAIN as they engage my squad. If they have taken out most of the targets, I mop up the guy pinned behind cover. If there are multiple tangos still up, I flux and spray with SMG. Weakens them, and lets the squad move up.
This normally makes quick work of squads.
I go for the hack, and they cover. We flip the objective FAST because I have Complex Codebreakers on my squad. Roughly a 5 second hack. Most of the time, the squad doesn't even have half a chance to spawn back in.
Secure, and check for possible late spawns. Rep, Resupply and and we pick a direction to run in. Logi throws a quick beam scan in the direction we head so that I know where to look.
Rinse and Repeat.
Scouts are more fun when you are the only one in the squad

On the topic of sidearms
I've gone back to my sidearm scout.
Six Kin SMG tears people to shreds when fluxed pre ambush.
Knives are obligatory.
Combine with the Speed, Stealth, Hack Low modules, and I am a very happy Ghost.
I had a round today where I went 5-1 and got 1500 WP. My WP have gone through the roof with this hack bonus.
Storytime:
Triple indoor letter map of Gal research Facility.
I go into Bravo (Death trap objective) and see the horde of heavies moving to take supply depot (The hack had just finished.)
They all were leaving, so I just kept tabs on them with passive scans while cloaked.
I waited until I saw the gunfight go down over by supply.
I hacked the objective in 5s and ran. I then went to Charlie (Right across from Bravo) and took that as well.
Then I hooked around, took CRU and headed up to Alpha. Stab Heavy guard, hack Alpha, jump down.
Head into the underground supply depot. Hack that.
I notice that they had just started to hack charlie.
So I hack Bravo
The life of a Min scout is so fun now.

I only really use cloak to hack nonobjective points, for its damp bonus, to hide waiting for an ambush. Its getting more rare for me to utilize it while moving from place to place. Simply because I have such a large scan radius I know when to hit cloak.
I don't think minmitar is worth the SP anymore. Too many sacrifices (better options), you just can't fit a minmitar scout well enough. You can use a Gal scout much better for hacking then a minmitar (range bonus, low slots, PG)
I actually disagree this build.
My Min Scout has been tearing it up. I run Diverse low slots, and while my eHP is lower, I can still dodge almost all scans, all Cal Scouts not running two precisions, Run Faster than 90% of scouts, and hack in 5 seconds.
On top of running 350 eHP and having 210 Melee with a Six Kin SMG and Proto Knives.

Scout Registry wrote:@ Ghost NK + SMG > NK + Fine Rifle ?
Point blank?
YES.
SMG has far greater spray abilities. The higher Damage per Clip also comes in handy.
Think of it this way, the ACR is a precision weapon compared to the SMG. Higher DPS, but it's harder to control and has lower DPC. It's best at taking out one target quickly.
SMG is a bullet-hose. Slightly Lower DPS, but it's easy to control, and can mow through 2-3 people with good aim.

CONS: Your suit has far more stamina. Better scan range by 7.5m Slightly better stamina recharge (It's very close) 3 armor rep a second
My suit also costs less by a longshot. Even when I slap on a Boundless (Easy to do, I have more than enough CPU), I only break 144k

IgniteableAura wrote:Llast 326 wrote:My single most effective use of cloak so far Activate cloak Let cat outside Come back to find I am still alive
@ghost, but how frequently are you using those pros? Extra melee damage? Extra knife damage? Both I found to be superfluous, I ran a level 3 minmitar scout and never had a problem with knives. Melee takes away a huge chunk of stamina each time and it really makes it much more difficult to be mobile. I always found melee in Dust to be comical at best, you could spray with your SMG or swipe with your knives and be much more effective. Knives do more damage, have longer range, AND don't require stamina. The gal has a little extra hp. The cost is easily managed by also switching to a six kin. Hacking better by a factor of 0.15 is not noticeable due to server ticks. Granted the extra movement is nice, its not outmatched by the 7.5 extra meters of passive scanning. In fact we would be better off removing the stamina and swapping out for complex range, then you can see for days ~50m and hack pretty much "risk free" Like I was saying the minimitar just doesn't have the bonuses to make it competitive. I would consider it "hard mode" when its not necessary. Kudos for running with it man, but it still needs some PG buffs to make it worth spending SP into.
I actually do use the melee. Knives are almost always used pre-ordained for me, so if I'm in CQC and they are low on health, I go in for the melee.
Knives also have delay (weapon switch and brief delay before slash), so the ability to quickly deal 210 damage is nice. I actually out melee'd a commando today. (We traded punches. I won)
If you don't like the Melee, don't use it. I still have an extra high slot to use.
As for the HP? The better shield recharge times and extra regen help when you are shield tanking. I can even use that extra high slot to hit almost 60 shield recharge a second, which is twice what you get. Really helps the downtime.
For me, the bonuses are totally worth it. I wouldn't go Gal over Min in this build. Personally, I like the bonuses.
PG Buff is needed. Very much so.

Now to my and your probable surprise, I'm actually doing worse in pubs with my scout than I was doing in 1.7. I'm not sure exactly why but I have a theory.. I was relying TOO much on passive scanning in 1.7 and it became my crutch This is the most likely reason as to why I'm doing comparatively worse in 1.8 even though scouts got a buff. In 1.7, everyone was a medium frame and I always picked them up on my passive scans as a scout. I learned to look on my radar more than on the screen similar to the active scanner dudes. As such, once scouts got buffed and more people started running them, I can't completely rely on my passive scan like in 1.7 anymore...unfortunately. I won't lie...there's been a couple matches where I've been getting wrecked lol. Now here's the weird part though... I am doing a lot better in PC lol. Like a lot better. With the introduction of cloak and increased ttk, my shotgun scout has been owning like crazy. http://imgur.com/mplevQ1 - shameless epeen stroking Now I know those weren't the best opponents, but still. I don't know why I can't do that well in pubs lol. I just don't know why. Also by the way, in my personal opinion, scouts are kinda OP lol. Although I don't know if that's my biased opinion since most of my deaths in pubs is due to damn scouts not showing up on my radar Overall, I like 1.8. Besides all the glitches and bugs that make me wonder if CCP ever even slightly tests their own ****, I still enjoy 1.8.

"Pistols at dawn"? :D Hey, if we're branching out from knife fight duels, seems like we should go in for the whole thing. IonP fights Flaylock fights Maybe scramblerp. (breech only?) Presumably not bolt pistol, since its full auto? but its lag still makes it a pain in the butt, so possibly... And then we could have a "my pistol is better" free choice category. Not to mention a "cloaks allowed" category Heck, we could even organize tournaments! (Reminder; FW can get this happening with large groups of us!) And then each side could have a "marshall", with a needle to speed up next bracket fights. I'd be happy to volunteer for marshall duty

In retrospect, I would have begged them to wait until the med frames were buffed too, then maybe we would have had less FOTM scouts. I won't lie, this does kind of break my heart a little.
I've heard rumors that they will be putting a timer on how long it takes to fire from de-cloak.

The 3.5s seize means that the charge shot is a finisher, not a opener. NEVER shoot a charge at a full health target unless you know that they low enough total eHP to die from a charge.
How to Use the Ion Pistol 101:
Lets say you engage two targets. One is low on health, and the other is injured, but still has enough eHP to survive a charge.
Move from Low to High HP targets. Two shots to the low health target, and then target high eHP guy until he is down to below 350 eHP (Roughly). Charge and Release.
This happens quicker than you think. I was able to quickly take down two targets in CQC like this. Excellent Assassination tool as well. If the target is a shield tank, you can put 4 shots into his back and follow with a charge to drop him before he can turn around.
Final Notes: Go Proto or Go Home. The CreoDron is where its at. Get a feel for the ROF Know when to charge, and when to fire normal.

That being said it's a counter to the cloak and nobody uses it? Yes some people can beat them but the influx of people often do not have the ability to evade scanners that people already have skilled into. Also the broken skill application makes everybody susceptible to a scan for up to a minute. You still get intel, the arc of the scanner makes a difference.
Because using a scanner well is no longer easy.
Main reason. People used the old scanners because all you had to do was spin in a circle and it lit up everyone within 100m.
Now you have to prioritize areas to scan, and manage the longer cooldowns.
Too hard for most

Min Scout performs best when avoiding combat with scouts entirely.

How about a tactical and assault cloak? (Both cloak like normal)
Assault cloak has NO dampen bonus, has a short overall tank of energy, but decloaks faster than the tactical (1s instead of two). It also recharges faster
The Tactical cloak HAS the dampen bonus, and has a very large tank of energy. Decloaks at 2s, and also takes longer to recharge. It also has greatly reduced shimmer while moving.
Both cloaks can't fire until decloak finishes. Assault cloak does not require you to press R1 to uncloak. Tactical does. The Assault will Disrupt cloak if shot at (But only for a little bit), but the Tactical will COMPLETELY break cloak if hit (Its sensitive yo).
Fluxes drain the battery of both cloaks. (And it should for other equipment too)
One is built for combat, the other is for tactical insertion.
Sound good? I am open to suggestions and changes btw.

Not sure what you are getting at.
I'm fine with anybody running large eHP pools. So long as they pay the penalties.
Right now, Basic plates give large HP bonus with very little CPU/PG cost and barely ANY speed penalty. The only real penalty they suffer from is lack of innate repair like shields.
I want Armor tankers to be slow and tough, and shield tankers to be fast, and a little on the fragile side. Dual Tankers are the toughest of both bunches, but have terrible shield regen and armor regen to make up for it.
If they re-balance the CPU and PG on shields and armor, they can also re-balance the CPU and PG values of the suits to reflect their intended role. Cal and Min Suits would be high in CPU, but low in PG, wheras the Amarr and Gal would be high in PG, but low in CPU (With Min getting slightly lower CPU in exchange for higher PG to reflect their hybrid tanking and speed tanking abilities, and the Gal getting slightly higher CPU in exchange for lower PG to reflect their better regen tanking abilities.)
This is the way I want Dust to be. Clearly defined archetypes, but with the freedom to mess with the fits within reason. Role theft is bad, but making a suit play to different strengths (or even patch up weaknesses instead of buffing your strengths) should be encouraged.
EDIT:
Holy crap. I totally changed topics mid post.

How I envision racial knives.
Caldari version are better against armor than shields. They are the version with the cord, for an optional range attack. R1 slashes. L1 brings up the aim to throw. Throwing the knife requires charging. Better damage than the gallente version, but require a certain finesse to use. Imagine slashing someone, watching them backpedal, and then finishing them off with a ranged knife throw. Retract blade with cord and be on your merry way (BTW, these are named the BK-201 Nova Knives. Non-Negotiable.)
Amarr would have extra damage to shields, but minus to armor and have the highest damage, but can overheat if you slash too much (or charge too much). The ultimate "Assassin" tool. Good against single targets, but has trouble when engaging groups.
Gallente are better against shields than armor. They don't overheat or charge, and have a moderate damage output. I would like to think of them as the best option for non minmatar scouts, as they would be the most "Balanced". Good option for med frames who want a Knife.
Minmatar knives will be better against armor, but only slightly worse than shields. Lower base damage compared to the other knives, but they "Slice n Dice". They have no ability to charge or overheat, but make up for low damage with a LOT of slashes, which would make them the best option for Multiple target CQC. While they won't take a target down in one swift swipe, they are the best for "Knife Flanks". If you can get behind a group, you should be able to slash fast enough (with Min Scout Bonus) to literally SHRED through a flank.

And by "disadvantage", you mean... People would have to play low HP suits... as low HP suits. This is a problem?? Only to people who like abusing low hp suits to be out of their class. Ummmm...no. I'm not sure why so many scouts have a problem with it, but I think the assult scout is an entirely viable playstyle. The relevant question is not "is it viable?" Rather, "is it appropriate/balanced/fair?" Replace "assault scout" with "slayer logi",and perhaps you get the idea (Or do you abuse those too? :p ) "Slayer logi is an entirely viable playstyle". Well, of course it's "viable"(aka useful). But it's still abuse of the general class concept. Sane class grouping should be: Scouts: light, fast, low armor, high EWAR. Logis: medium everything, (with perhaps explicitly low damage), lots of EQ Assaults: lots of armor, lots of damage Heavy: ludicrous armor, ludicrous damage... stupid slow, and electronically blind.
I'm fine with a "Light Assault". I just hate role theft.
A decently tanked scout can function as a psuedo-Assault suit with enhanced eWar capabilities. It neglects maxing out its strengths and instead focuses on eliminating its weaknesses (eHP, Armor Regen, firepower).
The Assault can make this trade as well, by dumping other mods in favor of eWar mods. It can sacrifice some of its eHP, combat regen and firepower in favor of some eWar mods. Both suits perform the same roughly, but with different strengths.
The Scout Assault would have noticeably less eHP and staying power, but have better eWar and stealth abilities. The Assault Scout would have noticeably more eHP and staying power, but also have marginally better eWar and stealth abilities (Such as dodging proto scans or being able to scan other Med Frames within their scan range). They would be SIMILAR but not COPIES of each other.
Problem right now is that CCP doesn't know how to balance this game well. Once the Assaults get re-balanced, hopefully the med frames will get their strength back, and the differences between the two will be become noticeable.
Right now, old Assault frames have taken up scout because the Scout suit can make a better assault suit than the med frame. It IS abuse and role theft, but they really have no choice in the matter. Either play in a gimped suit or use the best possible alternative.
EDIT:
Remember, this is Dust514. We do need clearly defined archetypes, but the beauty in this game is how that line can be blurred. You can adjust fits to emulate a playstyle you like, such as a psuedo-Logi scout or an Assault with eWar abilities.
Short version of what I am trying to say: It's okay to fit a scout like an assault and play it like an assault, so long as the real assault ALWAYS does its job better. Emulated classes should not be more powerful than the archetype in its own strengths. This is the problem.
Slayer Logi's were better Assaults than the Assault suit. Assault Scouts are better than the Assault suit.

Django Quik wrote:Speaking of psuedo logi scouts... anyone thought about partially tanking up and running a repper behind a heavy? Maybe a repping hive too.
On a proto gal scout you could run 2x plates, 2x range amps and 2x shields with weapons of choice whatever you can fit after that. You'd be providing long range scanning to like ~60m (I forget the exact range from 2 amps). You'd have enough tank to be able to take some stray fire not mopped up by the heavy and you might not get noticed too much anyway because you're less likely to get scanned than a real logi.
Pure conjecture here but sounds like it could be fun...
I ran Injectors and Rep tools for the lulz once.

A proto bricktanked scout, strongly outperforms a basic, and probably even an all-adv , assault suit, for assault purposes.
Does anyone actually disagree with that?
I never disagreed with it.

My post was saying that an Assault scout isn't a bad thing. The bad thing is that the assault scout is better at assaulting than the Assault is. It IS role theft. But it WILL get fixed in time.
And when that time comes, I will stand by what I said right here. Assault scouts in themselves are not bad.

I want to bring up the point of overlapping fields of expertise when tiers are brought into the equation. I actually think there is a problem with that logic. Different meta levels will cause overlap. I think it's a stretch to compare proto fits to adv fits. It's a different ball game from adv to proto. And fitting basic weaponry is actually a huge sacrifice to fit all that tank. Especially considering assaults bonuses are to weapon fitting, that means they can fit proto weapons on even adv suits with no fitting issues, Assaults need their suits upgraded. But other balance passes should not occur until the dust settles on all the frame changes. That's CCPs main issue. They fix 12 things in a balance pass and don't know what actually worked. @ghost 4mil sp will take you 3 months of capping w/o boosters.

Appia Vibbia wrote:Who's your CEO Ghost?
Cal Scout for scanners only works in pubs. You aren't going to ever scan a scout that knows what they are doing. Gallente makes a better passive scan scout for detecting mediums because of the low slots for range amps and armor plates.
It's mainly for med frames. He just wants to pick up proto damped med frames and idiot scouts who don't damp and cloak. In his words "Precision is better than range" So he wants Cal scout. Also, my skills transfer to Cal scout better. I don't got skills in armor plates
The fit that I had him approve runs two complex Precisions, 2x shields, 1x Range, and 1 complex Shield regulator or damp, depending on the mood.
Should get me to 18dB and 70m scan range roughly. Pretty good perma scanner for a float squad (which is where he wants me)

(and really, the main culprit is armor. Heavy armor does not belong on a 'light' suit. It's a literal contradiction)
PS: another potential way to address the issue, other than make shields & armor scale by dropsuit, would be to ditch the idiotic "high power/low power" slots, and instead have "HP slots/ util slots". Then scouts get 1/2/3 HP slots, but lots of util slots. Unfortunately, while I see that as a way BETTER solution.... I see the "make HP mods scale differently for each suit" as a far more likely CCP change, since it's the least amount of work, I'd imagine.
I actually really like the idea of Health and Utility slots.
Commando's and Heavies get lots of Health slots, and low Utility.
Assaults get A balanced mix

@ Minmatar (paging Ghost Kaisar) Is there more to the Minmatar's problems than limited resources and fitting constraints? To quote Mr Musturd, "Man, I don't play Ghostbusters514 unless they need me for PC."
Outside of the fitting constraints? Not really for me. Lack of a bonus to precision or dampening is terrible though, as it really makes the Min and Amarr pale by comparison. I have to use a a high slot to pick up proto damp suits, and if I want a semi decent scan range, you gotta have a range extender.
The main problem is the lack of versatiltiy. You have to laser focus a Min Scout.
You want speed? Well, you won't really have too much PG left over for Hacks (Without running very low PG weapons, and no second equipment. Also, say goodbye to triple shields. I run this fit, but than again, I'M CRAZY)
You want Hacks? Welp, no speed for you. Dual hacks consumes all of the two low slots you have left over (Never run without a proto damp). PG problems limit fitting from there.
You want eWAR? You gotta run at least a single range extender and two complex precisions to hit below 28dB. You now have 198 shields at max. You now get to see what you want on that last low slot. Choose wisely.
Fitting Cal or Gal or even Amarr scout is SOOOO much easier than a Min Scout.
I will say this though, as gimped as the suit is versatility wise, not much can compete with its specialized fits.
Speed fits will leave everyone else in the dust. 2 Kincats makes you the fastest on the field barring a triple kincat and cardiac gal scout. And they will have far less recoverable eHP than you do (I can run 270 shields on the above fit, be proto damped, and have 60 shield recharge a second, ON TOP of a Six Kin ACR and proto Knives + Cloak)
Hack fits can hack in INSANE amounts of time. A single hack mod puts you at 4.6s. Two will get you down to 3.8s hacks. You can sill run decent shields and recovery, with proto damps and a cloak. You don't have the speed to escape, but you can counter hack and hack in lightning quick times.
You can also run a combat scout with decent success. I can fit a Min Scout with 343 shields, 170 armor with no speed penalty. Proto damps, proto armor rep, a Boundless and a Core Flaylock. With an ADV cloak. It's fast, tough, and still has a 6 second hack time.

I did have a couple knife duals so far, but with NKers also wearing cloaks and dampeners, its more a matter of luck running across them than anything.

Agreed. I don't own proto swarms but the swarms are usually only needed as a finisher. I run as much speed (kincat) as the suit can handle, pretty much no buffer at all. Cloak and get up next to the HAV, throw the F/45s into the crook between the treads. Toss flux, launch a set of swarms, activate REs. BOOM! Most times tankers get away before my flux can get them fully, so setting off those swarms tends to help, once they get away you activate your remotes. You just need to watch for their hardeners and don't hit your motes until hardeners are down. I launch swarms before I activate mostly because even if I die, the remotes persist, you have to wait until you have the ability to alpha the tank. Otherwise your efforts are wasted. I tried dual RE fits and you just can't get close enough w/o the cloak. I think a lot of tankers use 3rd person, so the cloak allows you the chance to close the distance. (I CAN GO THE DISTANCE!) <----1 shiny isk for first person to tell me what thats from.

PX-22's fixed that problem. My pair of 21's died after 3 years of use, so I picked up the 22. Its made a lot better, and has fantastic sound quality.

I've fallen back in love with my Min Assault
You only need three fits for the Min Assault.
Combat Rifle + Favorite sidearm. Fit for Shield tank with ferroscales and regulators
Mass Driver + Assault SMG. Fit for Survivability
Swarms + Assault SMG. Fit for mobility and regen.
Seriously, the Min Assault is a really versatile assault suit. That Bonus to projectiles means that you can run an Assault SMG as a really good primary (Without range) and also run niche equipment like Mass Drivers, Swarm Launchers, Lasers etc etc etc.
I generally run Scout, but I also run Assault on maps where stealth and mobility aren't as important as flexibility. AV fit is my favorite. You can still deal with infantry thanks to my Beefed up SMG skills, and AV Nades and swarms can drive off enemy Dropships and Tanks (At least ones that aren't heavily shield fitted. Even then, just grab a buddy).
Me and a PRO Amarr Logi ran swarms with eachother, ran together, and literally DEMOLISHED any tank foolish enough to engage our squad. With Dual Swarms, AV Nades, and the squad fluxing them, we could drive off any tank that tried to engage. Those foolish enough to stick around got destroyed.

Weapon PG/CPU reduction means its easier to fit
Projectile weapon bonus means that you can engage more targets at once.
Combine all of these, and the min assault became an excellent Assault suit, but only for those that know that eHP isn't everything.

Battlefield is all gun game.
Thats the thing I love about the game. Infantry combat boils down to "Who can use their gun the best".
If you don't know how to fire an AN-94 correctly, you will still get stomped at range by someone who knows how to fire an UMP-45 in controlled bursts.
Same goes for idiots who try to spray an M16 point blank. I can still drop you with my M39-EMR if you don't know what you are doing.

I'm really excited for Destiny. Please hit me up on PSN if you are making a switch when beta drops.
Found out some pretty cool info. Apparently, there is going to be a "Tower" which will be the area you chill in while waiting to go on missions and whatever. Anyways, the tower will have its own ares for each class. Kinda like a hangout spot where you can chat up and trade strats with other people in the same class.
Current Speculation has the Titan (Soldier build) having its area in a barrack, the Warlock having its area in a Library, and the Hunter having its hangout in a bar.
A bar.
I can't wait.
EDIT:
Read this if you are curious. It's an excellent summary of what the game will be like.
It releases on August 9th. Beta will be this summer. Expected date is somewhere in late may.
Pre-order the game for the beta.

48m OPTIMAL and 66 for effective range for a sidearm. That's only a little bit less range than your standard Assault Rifle.

I'm sort of tempted to check this out as well, although I'll probably wait until release. Maybe beta... I was considering taking a breather from Dust at some point. I doubt I'd buy a PS4 by then. I may need to chill w/ Appia in the library, though.... we'll see. I put down a pre-order for the PS4 version, and signed up for the PS3 pre-order beta. Best of both worlds, and can always cancel and re-order for PS3 if it comes to it.
How did you sign up for the PS3 beta?
You don't determine which beta you play until they send the email out that lets you download the client

Even 5x SP isn't enough of a reason. None of our other friends will give dust the time of day. I talked a couple into setting up toons to leave parked in the event CCP gets their **** together, but that's as far as that got. So I feel ya. Dust has been a lonely experience, but I got used to it. Now I play BF4 with full squads of buddies most of the time and I miss my lone wolf days.
None of my clan mates from BF3 play Dust. Several of them are heading to PS4 Beta with Destiny, so I'm inclined to do the same.
Then again, I've made some excellent friends here in Dust as well, and I would hate to have them left out.
Hence the indecision.
Also: Has BF4 gotten any better? Played the game about a month or two after release, and thought it was garbage compared to BF3

Just kidding. I actually agree. Cloaks are fun, but they should not be a feature that the entire class is built around.
I want eWAR on my scout. Not necessarily stealth. I would rather have the cloak removed and replaced with a good bonus, than for them to nerf the cloak to oblivion, and be stuck with a terrible bonus.

Everyone here knows this is still beta
Just wait until they release the "REAL" Dust514 in like Uprising 3.0 or something.
Wait for the ISK and Asset wipe. They would be crazy to wipe SP, but I do see them doing something like this and an SP reset or something.

I stand by what I said earlier for this argument.
Pick one:
Keep Cloak skills on the scout and watch as the cloak gets horribly nerfed
Dump cloak skills, and focus on skills that have more to do with eWAR and the likes
I for one, pick to dump the cloak. I use it because I have a bonus to it. I actually spend most of my time uncloaked, because I prefer the ability to have my gun up and ready at a moments notice.
Cloaks give you a false sense of security, so I've learned to not rely on them. They are simply there to make you harder to see.

Looking for Input on an idea.
Someone said in GD that they want scouts to "Scout"
I agree with this, but said it would require some sweeping changes, as you would move into a strictly support role, with limited offensive capabilities.
Here is the link to the post
Highlights for those who don't want to read:
Slot layout becomes 2 sidearms, no grenade. Shared Passive scans with the Team. WP for each kill made from your passive scans LOS scans are shared with squad. No WP for these. Cloak takes 3 seconds to cloak or decloak. You can run while this happens. You cannot switch weapons out of it. Cloak keeps its dampening bonus. Skill changes to cloak skill, includes bonus to reduce decloak time by 5% per level. This amounts to 3/4 of a second off cloaking (or de-cloaking). If you factor in both sides, this is 1.5 seconds, which makes it a worth investment.
If these highlights intrigue you, read the post.

Cloak keeps its dampening bonus. Skill changes to cloak skill, includes bonus to reduce decloak time by 5% per level. This amounts to 3/4 of a second off cloaking (or de-cloaking). If you factor in both sides, this is 1.5 seconds, which makes it a worth investment. If these highlights intrigue you, read the post. Oooooh, 2 sidearms would kill my Sniper and fast AV* fits, and don't understand why no grenade. *I very seldomly use it but have it ready just in case SLs or PLCs** get some love in the future ** I only really care about SLs
I'm focusing on it being a non-combat fit. Best way to do that is remove light weapon slot.
If you want to snipe or AV, we have other classes. The changes I am making are for the scout to be a support class, with very little offensive capabilities.
Ideally, I want to build the game towards this:
Bulk of offensive power on teams in Assault and Commando's. Sentinels are used for heavy defense or heavy assault. Logi's and Scouts provide the above with the equipment, support, and scans they need to succeed.
You wouldn't see squads of scouts running around in PC, but you would see a few on the field for the eWAR benefits they provide.
I want balance among the classes, in a way the befits their roles.

I like some of the ideas at least - would not get rid of the grenade slot though - nades are already precious as they are since we only get 2 and it'd be enough of a drawback only having sidearms.
I still see no point in giving him a grenade.
Grenades are used to flush targets out of cover. If they are in cover, the scout I made would simply cloak and run away instead of trying to duke it out.
I would be fine with making this class a side spec. However, I would have to insist that eWAR capabilites on the other scout to be removed.
One scout made for eWAR and stealth, the other made for combat and regen.

Gear isn't the problem.
SP is the problem.
If you restrict gear in matches, people will just QQ about those "High SP" players who are 25% tougher, faster, and deal 15% more damage.

So it's really only 5-10% difference.
I just want to fix the core of the problem. SP restrictions will fix this, Gear restrictions just are people thinking of the only solution they see. SP doesn't show up on the killcam. Only gear.

No. It. Wont. Two other people have already replied to you saying this, and I'll add to it. I have 20mil SP or something. I would probably qualify for the "no restrictions" league, in your perfect SP matched world. That would make things for me, pretty much exactly as they are now. I'd get protostomped still. I cant afford to run proto all the time myself. I dont play enough to be 'leet. I dont use KBM+mouse like the 'leet people. I WILL NEVER BE AT THAT LEVEL. I just want to play, and have fun.SP matching will never fix this problem for me. Giving me a mode where there Is No Proto, will.
But what about the low SP players?
20 Mil is enough to have excellent passives, but what about the lower tier players?
The ones with 5mil? Or 10mil?
They will go into the ADV or Basic level and get WRECKED by High SP players who run low level gear.
This isn't about how YOU will fair, it's about balancing the game for all players.
It's a far better alternative than Gear based matchmaking.
Also: as for the ISK problem. Just run against them in ADV gear. With good passives, I can take on ANY PRoto player that isn't worth their salt. Since High SP players will run better gear, the payouts will be higher. You can play in an ADV suit, and make large profit off of it. Save up, and buy Proto. It works itself out. Your K/D might suffer, but you just want to have fun right?

How nice for you. but, " This isnt about how YOU will fair". I already do that. it doesnt work for me against decent proto players. As for your earlier post: I would play adv. tier. I wouldnt play basic tier. Also, I would be perfectly happy having limits on skill tiers to go along with the gear. "ADV tier: only adv or below gear, and all skills capped to 3 or lower" That is reasonably fair. If players cant keep up with that, they should be able to go play basic-only. At that point, it will be purely skill based differential. Which is fair. nothing can or should be done about that.
There are two options to limit the field. SP and Gear. Both would horrendously limit the field, so pick one. I choose SP due to the above scenario I presented earlier.
However, you brought up a FANTASTIC Idea. Scaled skills.
Cap the passives at ADV level for the ADV tier. You don't phase out the higher SP players, they just play with toons that have their skills limited to ADV tier. I actually think that will work really well.
Too bad that creates a host of new problems though. Shields would be terrible, as enhanced aren't worth it, and PRO isn't available.
That being said, it's a far better solution than what I came up with. I support that. See if someone can get IWS in here.
EDIT: To clarify, this means that Players with maxed out skills will play with skills reduced to ADV level. EVERYTHING. From hack speed, grenades, equipment etc.
Couple this with a Gear Limitation (To the respective SP tier) and you create a really balanced enviroment. I think individual skill will shine here.

Doubtful. Though that is the suit Milkman runs when he isn't in a Blaster Tank. sorry being sarcastic. As a gallente scout with so many options I really wanted to take a nerf to keep the cloak dampening so the other scouts were not hosed. But as Appia pointed out I am only a pub player and have no business trying to balance PC meta. So I left the battle to the PC meta crew to argue Gal vs Cal Inclined to agree with you. They could've nerfed the GalScout alone, though brick-tanked Amarr and dual-tanked Caldari might have emerged as FoTM substitutes. Removing cloak's dampening bonus is effectively a nerf to all Scouts; it'll rule out substitutes and likely send FoTM-chasers into other frames. That said, this is a big hit to Minmatar who were already under-performing.
Why can't that suit get any love?

The problem lies in the fact that there is alot more than just a few changes that need to be made to fix eWar.
I do think that we need a band-aid to alleviate the issue, until they get off their asses and fix eWar for real.

TL;DR
Things will change in the name of balance. What has been will not be the same.
PERSONAL TAKE ON THIS: If my suit gets broken for the sake of balance (LOL Like the Min scout will ever be OP), I would still gladly take the hit.
We have learned how to adapt over our time here. I hate OP suits and playstyles with a PASSION, and would gladly take a hit to my personal favorite fitting for balance.
Note the key word here. BALANCE
I will not condone changes that blatantly make scouts the red-headed stepchild of Dust again. I love the fact that my suit has a purpose and the ability to fulfill that purpose on the battlefield. Now we just need to refine and re-tune this.
All Specializations need a role, and the ability to fulfill that role.
Every racial spec of that role needs a special purpose on the battlefield, that no other suit can do better.

You may want to give Shotty a little benefit of the doubt. The guy created this sanctum for the sake of scouts, and for a long time worked to make us a relevant role. He put in a lot of work that was nearly completely ignored by those outside of this community and has a strong emotional investment. Its hard to be rational with something like that. My guess is that if you had put in the same amount of work and time for such a small number of people, you might not be able to be 100 percent rational either. How much Shotty cares is what has helped bring together and hold together this community. I wouldn't change a thing about that. ** Double posting like a mother f***ing Kaiser**
Everyone still in this scout community is a little crazy.
Some more than others.
But yeah, don't be too harsh on the guy. We've been nerfed for so long, 1.8 was a fantastic build for us. We don't want to go back to being irrelevant, and we fear the over nerf.
Don't put us back in the closet

This is why I keep saying I have nothing wrong with this Hotfix. I have NEVER needed eHP to survive. Did something change recent? didn't you avoid PC battles before? Serious, if all you do is play in pubs you never have to try. I go AFK, I watch videos, I chat on skype mid-match in pubs. hell I even do that in Molon Labe PC because the other guys are such crap players. And I can still go 17-4 in Starter Fit against people in proto gear. There's a huge gap in skill for this game, if you're too accustomed to going up against the people that don't have any, no wonder you think you don't need HP.
Here is my PC Scout fit.
Yes, I do PC, and often. ERA and HvLP are the main people I have gone up against recently. I have never used suits with over 343 shields and 87 armor. Never.
I still routinely play PC, and still get kills with it, DESPITE your math.
How? I pick my targets a bit carefully. I don't engage heavies unless they have their backs turned. I don't venture too far outside of areas with cover. I don't rush every damn person I see and go for massive kill counts.
What do I do? I make sure to protect objectives with Nova Knives and counter hack quickly (with people covering me).
Duvoulle is used to quickly take down my greatest enemy, the Cal Scout. DPS v Shields is insane with the Duvoulle (Around 545 v Shields. I melt Cal Scouts).
I also use it to melt shields off suits that I can't kill. Since we have heavies and CR users, taking down shields gives them an advantage as well.
In short, I'm careful. If I ABSOLUTELY have to kill someone up close point blank I can normally manage to do so, even if it costs my life.
Granted, my K/D isn't exactly fantastic. I tend to average around 1 - 1.5 K/D in PC against good teams. HvLP I can almost always go 15-4 or something like that.
If I have to die 5 or 9 times to make sure we NEVER lose homepoint, I'll do it. Winning > K/D

I've made it past her squad and killed her a couple times... quite epically . I don't think she's ever killed me ;) Not many people can handle an aggressive knifer. What is the home point?
Home Point is the Objective closest to your MCC. It's the farthest out of the enemies way, and often considered a "Gimme" point, as you should always have control of it.
Losing Homepoint is BAD news if your team is having trouble in city. You run the risk of getting completely pushed out of the battlefield.
So, PC corps often leave at least one person on Homepoint defense. That person needs to be good at defending the objective against waves of 1-2 people (The typical "Take their Homepoint" team)
Since you only have to engage 1-2 people at a time, it's often given to Slayers who can't stand the chaos of the city. If you go against a team that is really aggressive against homepoint, that changes.
For Example: I was placed on Homepoint because we didn't have another scout that could do it when we played HvLP. All our scouts were being used for scanning the city. Good move, because HvLP didn't just send 1-2 people when we beat them silly in the city.
They sent more like 6-8.
Me, Benjamin Ciscko and one other guy basically had to hold them off until we could get reinforcements from the city. My God, that was so much fun.
Hit and Run combat, taking down one or two people at a time, all while trying to slow the advance from their rapid uplink placements. We managed to hold them off of Homepoint for about a minute and a half before being totally overrun. Just in time though, because when they finally hacked the Point, 3-4 slayers from city squad came to reinforce.
They shifted their flank, and I spawned in an uplink I had placed on the outskirts. Within 30 seconds, we had them pushed off.
They spawned on those spammed links for another 30 seconds before we removed them from those as well. I set up RE's again and went back to defense while City Squad went back into city for the inevitable counter push.
We basically repeated this 2-3 times during the match. They no showed the next one. I think I finished the match something like 15-6.
PC is fun

I decided to go and give the basic assaults a go with some LP I had saved up.
All of them, racially.
Amarr assault is fun with the AScR.
But the Gal Assault with Reps is by far my favorite. Tempted to skill into it on the side.
I was surprised about how long you could fight in it. In between fights, I repped at almost 10HP a second, so my 400 armor was almost always full. Shields restored themselves fairly quick, and acted as a buffer to keep my armor from taking damage in between fights.
And that AR is just sick with a damage mod.

That fit works with any Light Weapon really. CR, AR whatever. It has just enough shields to survive, and the speed is a nice touch.
The AR version MELTS cal scouts, which is why it is the fit I normally run in the city. Knives work well for all targets but scouts, and the AR + Damage mod is just for them

That sound about accurate?
Minmatar needs a lot of love
It just can't compete. PG and CPU starved with the lowest HP of them all. The only advantage it has numerically over the other scouts is the fact that it has a faster sprint and strafe. Which does you no good when scanned.
I read earlier in this thread that "Stealth shouldn't be a Gal Scout Thing, it needs to be a SCOUT thing"
I totally agree. eWAR is unbalanced because they keep trying to balance stealth around the scouts. All scouts need to be able to easily dodge scans. What's the point otherwise?
I can't even think of how to balance eWAR right now. So many problems.
2x Damp's needed to dodge scans? Everyone is fine but the Caldari, who now have use all of their low slots to avoid scans. 1x Damp needed to dodge scans? Everyone is fine but the Gallente and Amarr who then ROFL-Stomp with the three extra low slots they have to fill. TIME FOR ARMOR!
The only REAL way to balance this would be to require the Gal and Amarr to fit 2x Damps while only requiring the Min and Cal to fit 1x. But I don't see that ever happening, even though it would actually balance the fits rather well. This allows them all to dodge scans effectively without giving one scout a huge module advantage over the other.

Agreed 100%. We all serve different roles, but one tenant holds true: A detected Scout is a dead Scout.Seriously. We run 1/2 - 1/3 the HP of MedFrames and 1/4 - 1/5 the HP of Heavies. If we're going to have any hope competitively, we all need to be able to sneak about. Should we be pushing for a return of 5% reduction to profile / level?
Yes. F-The-Cloak
It has done nothing but DESTROY the whole role of a scout. It turned a difficult job into an easy one, and became an "I WIN" button for every shotty in the game.
Stealth is fun, but this is freaking ridiculous. I liked it better when scouting was about dodging scans and staying out of peoples eyesight instead of stacking eHP and cloaking until they don't have time to react.

The majority of players do not want a tactical game, which is what stealth is. Stealth protects your tactics, not your skills. We're really the vocal minority. We want a better game, they want an easier game.
Exactly.
I honestly think that it's safe now to move back to pre-1.8 scouts now.
Logi's have lost most of their ability to marginalize scouts (which was the real problem)
F-The-Cloak, gimme back the old bonus.
At the same time, do this:
Give the Gal Logi larger bonuses to cool-down and active scan duration. They will be able to scan medium frames more effectively. Scouts who don't proto damp will still get scanned. At the same time, make Active Scans share with the team. Passive gets shared in squad. This way, most teams will only run 1-2 Scan Gal Logi's. They use their scans to more effectively scan hot areas for the ground pounders, but won't pick up scouts.
Assaults will still be able to proto damp, but will sacrifice low slots to do so. Sounds like a good trade to me.
Get rid of the cloak. Seriously.
Do this: and then we can give the bonuses to scouts some meaning.
Min Scout: 5% Nova Knife and Hacking Gallente: +1 Armor rep per level Amarr: 5% Scan Range per level Caldari: +5 Shield Recharge per level
Bonuses are more suited toward regen or utitily instead of eWAR.
The Modules become the reason why eWAR is strong for these suits, combined with their better base skills in these areas.
Scouts become good at exposing the troops around them without alerting them. For most scouts though, range is limited, and only the squad shares the intel.
Gal Logi's become good at exposing troops at a distance, but warns the enemy. Range is good, cooldown is greatly reduced, and the intel is shared with the team.
Sound decent?

They use their scans to more effectively scan hot areas for the ground pounders, but won't pick up scouts. Assaults will still be able to proto damp, but will sacrifice low slots to do so. Sounds like a good trade to me. Get rid of the cloak. Seriously. Do this: and then we can give the bonuses to scouts some meaning. Min Scout: 5% Nova Knife and Hacking Gallente: +1 Armor rep per level Amarr: 5% Scan Range per level Caldari: +5 Shield Recharge per level Bonuses are more suited toward regen or utitily instead of eWAR. The Modules become the reason why eWAR is strong for these suits, combined with their better base skills in these areas. Scouts become good at exposing the troops around them without alerting them. For most scouts though, range is limited, and only the squad shares the intel. Gal Logi's become good at exposing troops at a distance, but warns the enemy. Range is good, cooldown is greatly reduced, and the intel is shared with the team. Sound decent? Regen is a really bad bonus, it's very strong and will attract or keep the slayers in Scout suits. Needs something different. But the rest is great.
Regen with low buffer is good for scouts. The buffer is the problem.
It's so easy to stack HP on scouts (Except for the Minmatar)
Do whatever you want for the bonuses, but I really want the eWAR balanced I mentioned implemented. It would give both scouts and Gal Logies a similar role, but with different strengths and weaknesses

I would like to say that the Min Scout is fine is PC.
Just went like 15-4 in PC
But it was against Phoenix Fed.....
Not sure if that counts....
Here is the fit:
2x Complex Shield 1x Complex Damage Mod
Duvolle Ishnoks C-7 Flux
F/45 RE ADV Cloak
2x Damp 1x Enhanced Ferro
Did surprisingly well. The extra armor helped out a lot IMO

I don't think there's a bonus that goes over 10% per level. scout is 15% but the thing is, it may look like a lot, but if you look at the math, its not actually very significant and, in my honest opinion, fixes the minmitar scout without making it overpowered
Yeah, people don't realize that a 10% bonus to Kincats is almost worthless.
Why? Because it multiplies a percentage of a small percentage.
At max, that's 50%, which takes the 12% boost and makes it 18%
Which translates to a grand total of : (DRUMROLL)
+0.5m/s speed difference!
Whoopie.
Not enough to matter. 250% bonus? Kincats go to a 42% Increase
That makes you 11.8 m/s from a single Kincat!
Now, with the Speed cap, you would only sprint at around 11.12 m/s which is PERFECT for speed tanking.
Although I would still like that 11.8
Now: About your changes to the Min Scout
I like them, as it achieves the main goal of the suit. Speed, Stealth, and Hacking.
The Min Scout needs ALL THREE to be a viable suit in PC. It needs the stealth to get to the point undetected, the hack to get it done before anyone crashes your party, and then the Speed to get out.
How this is achieved can vary.
I actually don't want a boost to Kincat efficacy. Just buff the Min Scout's base speed. Buff it to around 9.31 m/s.
This makes the bonus from Bitoics buff it to 9.78 which is GOOD in it's own right.
Wanna be faster? We can throw on a speed mod. 1 Complex puts you at exactly 11 m/s.
Perfect.
Now, the reason why I do this, is because I still want people to have flexibility.
You keep the bonus to Knives and Hack, and you also buff the base hack to 1.25 (Zatara and I discussed the numbers, it won't make the scout OP. With 1x Codebreakers and 2x Damps, it makes the scout hack faster than a Gal running 2x Codebreakers and 2x Damp. Gal can't steal our hack role with this).
Now, this also provides that flexibility I talked about. You are fast enough to survive, and you can now choose. More Speed? Or More Hack?
Or maybe you're fine with 9.78 m/s sprint and the hack speed w/o mods. You have some freedom to fit other mods, to turn it into a slayer scout while maintaining a speed that separates you from the other scouts. A scout with 343 shields and 160 armor (Complex Ferro) will be a good skirmish fighter with decent hack to back it up. Allows you to have that flexibility to play as a light assault if you need to.
Notice the word I keep saying. Flexibility.
The Minmatar suits are supposed to be flexible, fragile suits that have a higher base speed over the other suits. The changes I have mentioned should help the Min Scout out a LOT. OH, and PG still needs a buff.
What fit will I run?
2x Shields 1x Complex Sidearm Damage Mod
2x Damp 1x Speed
Ishnoks Core Flaylock (Utility and for Popping remotes) Fluxes
Proto Cloak F\45 RE's (I hope the PG buff is enough for this.)
This fit is made to Cause Chaos. At 11 m/s and dampened, I should be able to zoom around and harass targets. RE's are for Traps or quick DoT (Damage on Target. Think "Oh hey, two heavies on the point. RE TIME!)
Fluxes are for removing equipment, and the Core is used to quickly remove remotes from Objectives. I can't hack super fast, but at 1.9 base hack (Translates to 5 second hack speeds) I can still get it off quickly. If not, I can escape if need be.

Okay. Lemme be frank with you.
Kincats in the high slot is the WORST idea I have seen on these forums in a VERY long time.
Min Scouts are SHIELD tanked suits with high base speed. They capitalize on this via running shields in highs, speed and damps in lows.
You make us fit speed in the high slots, and you kill every last chance we have in PC. I'm already fragile enough dammit! Don't make me choose between health and speed when I already have the LOWEST BASE HP IN THE GAME.
What? Is 343 shields too much for you guys?
If you make Speed a High Slot, this is the fit I would be forced to run:
2x Shields 1x Speed
1x Complex Ferro 2x Damp
OH LOOK. Now I have my HP put into an area that doesn't benefit me. My armor doesn't naturally regenerate like my shields. Now I have to run reps or carry compacts all over the place.

Cat Merc wrote:Ghost Kaisar wrote:EDIT:
Not only that, but what's stopping the Gal Scout from running 2x Plates, 2x Damps and 2x Speed?
I've checked the fit. They have enough PG to run it, and they get 459 armor on TOP of sprinting at 9m/s
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE The 3hp/s regen rate? Also, did you check that with weapons, cloak, the sorts fitted?
Yup
The only things not on there are the 2x Damps, but that requires no PG, and you have TONS of CPU left over.
3hp/s is still good. You're an invisible shotgun scout with 500+ HP. AND you sprint at 9m/s.
If you ever REALLY need health back, just go hit up a logi on Comms. Shouldn't take long.
Then you sprint back into chaos. Besides, 3hp/s will recover 300 HP in just under 2min.
Also, if you really wanted to, you could swap a speed for a Shield and then run Repair instead of plate. You only lose around 50-80 hp, but gain 12hp/s and still sprint at 8.57. You have to drop remotes to fit it (Or you could downgrade flux and remote. You can also dump proto cloak for ADV and I still think you'll dodge most scans)

We've lost all hope of tactics being a part of the game so have resigned to the fate of having to use all 3 low slots as dampeners on a Min-Scout. It's a worse speed hacker than a Gallente Scout because the Gal-Scout can fit 2 damps, a codebreaker, and either a kincat or another codebreaker in the lows to outperform the Minmatar Scout. Putting Codebreakers in the high slots would let a Minmatar be better at ninja hacking than the Gallente Scout
I'd be fine with Codebreakers in the Highs
3x Codebreakers 2x Damp 1x Speed
Yeah, there goes my PG, but if I'm running this fit, combat doesn't matter.

That will just make people not use sniper rifles. The sole problems are with the fact you have to crouch to be even slightly effective with them which forces people to want to just camp. What's the best place to camp? Obviously a place that the enemy team can't shoot at you. Sniping in a scout suit (none of this super tanked proto logi or commando bullshit - though I WILL eventually rock the Caldari commando suit for sniping due to the rail damage bonus), I don't do the redline. I move out along the ridge, I take a Myron to a good vantage point, I get down in between shipping crates, I creep around with the SMG in between vantage points, I hack objectives and CRUs and then run to a vantage point to snipe the guy who comes to hack it back. If a scrub wants to stop sniping because there's no more cozy little redline where I can't run up behind him and knife him in the neck, then good. Snipers need to GOML and be useful to their team or find some other way to puff up their KDR (like it matters if your team loses - "We lost, but I went 30/0 with my Thales lolololol")

@ Ghost I'm having difficulty following your train of thought. Can you boil it down to an itemized list?
I'll make an itemized list tomorrow.
Here is the Gist of it.
My Stance on eWAR: Sliding Scale of Range and Precision wrote: How Scanning works:
Gal Logi's are made to Scan Proto Damped suits and higher, but suffer from loss of scan duration. They can't keep scans up for a period of time. This makes them adept at scanning objectives to sense Spec Ops, but not to keep them lit up, just to tell you that they are there.
Gal Logi Focused is made to scan scouts. Once again, suffers from not being able to keep them lit up.
Cal Scouts are made to hunt Spec Ops suits. One of these guys is made to ruin their day. However, they don't share their scans. They are simply made to HUNT them, not to turn a squad into hunters.
Scouts are made to scan non-proto damped suits for extended periods of time. Some do it actively, some passively. Passive has the ability to scan 360 all the time, but lacks range. Active scans have a longer range, but have limited scan time and angle.
Hopefully, this balances scans.
You can't scan anything for forever. Each type of scanning has it's own pros and cons.
Want 360 24/7? You lack range and precision
Want to scan ANYTHING? You lack the ability to scan for duration and angle.
Want good distance and duration? You lack precision and angle
Lemme know if you wanna change anything.
Scout Specialization wrote:
Scout: Reconnaissance and Sabotage They get the old bonus to dampening back. They should be able to dodge PRO Scans PASSIVELY. Dampening will still be encouraged on the suit, for Caldari Scout and Gal Logi reasons.
They can't cloak, but they don't need it. They have higher base Speed and passively dodge scans.
The Scout is made to dodge scanning, but can be seen. This makes them more viable as players who stay away from combat and focus on recon and running from combat.
Scout: 5% Reduction to Dampening, 5% Reduction to Active Scanner Cooldown
Spec Ops Specialization wrote:
Spec Ops: Infiltration and Assassination Gets the bonus to cloak, but has 40 base dB. This means that if they put on ONE complex Damp, they can get below Proto Scans (dB would be 27)
They get combat based bonuses for infiltration and sabotage. When you want to get down and dirty in the city, THIS is the go-to fit. Basically, their job is to get into the city and cause havoc.
Spec Ops: 15% Reduction to Cloak CPU/PG. (Bonus #2 Think of something that benefits the ideas of Infiltration and Assassination)
Playstyle: For the Slayer Scouts. These frames have speed and cloaking, but no dampening. Their greatest enemies are the Cal Scouts and Gal Logi's as they should be the only suits able to scan them through the cloak. Everyone else is a target.

Scouts have a love hate relationship with them. They can't be picked up by the Spec Ops passive scans (Unlike some of the other Med Frames), but at the same time, all of them have trouble scanning THEM as well.
One is electronically invisible, the other is VISIBLY invisible. Scouts will be able to outrun Spec Ops due to their higher base speed and due to the fact that they will most likely not be in the center of combat.
Scouts will be dead if caught by a med frame if they don't run.
Spec Ops have a fighting chance due to the cloak. They can still run, cloak, and set up a counter-attack. Scouts will have very little offensive capabilities due to them having only two sidearm slots. No Light Weapons.
They are made to fill to entirely separate roles, and with how scanning works above, I believe that all of the scouts will have their own "Niche" to perform.
Make sense? I'll work more on it tomorrow.

Well ghost kaiser had a good point when he commented on it; its balanced because its a large PERCENTAGE bonus to a SMALL percent, making it very low. Also, i don't believe it would contribute to bullet weaving as there would be a speed cap which is what the soft cap is right now, and with my 3 KC min scout right now, i can't bullet weave (though I may just be plain terribad) The real idea behind this is that the min scout doesn't have to sacrifice speed to get dampening to levels that are on par with other suits. The real question is, is this overpowered or balanced?
Yeah, the percent is large, but that's because it needs to be large to have any effect.
We're talking about doing a percentage increase on modules that provide 5-12% bonus on stats that range from 7-8.
The bonuses are terribly small. They need to be larger if you want them to serve a purpose.
That being said: 50% is too high. That makes them give a 44.5% Increase to sprint speed at Proto.
With 8.31 being the base, that makes it 12m/s
Work in Reverse. Make 11m/s the desired.
Divide by 8.31 to get the multiple needed to achieve with a single module.
1.32, So we need a single kincat to hit 32%.
32 / 12.7 = 2.52 = ~150%
150 / 5 = 30% Efficacy per level.
Of course, this only works if you limit Kincats to one per suit, or introduce a speed cap.

So I just found the Alpha hot patch numbers and.......really? Gallente scout gets 1% Range bonus but Caldari gets 3%? I'm all for disparity and all but IDK; Precision and Range effect the same thing: How well you can scan. The Galscout could scan far but really you have to put effort into it to make it scan well I.E. range amps and precision enhancers.
I'm not bitching that scouts didn't need the nerf...but we didn't need the eWar nerf. I'm not convinced with CCP's explanation that it was to make it either Cloak or dampened. Really something should've been done about HP ceiling and methods in place to persuade regen tanking on scouts over HP tanking. I love the cloak changes though I think they weren't too hard but definitely not soft I like it.
They really do need to just create Small, Medium, and Large Tanking mods like in EVE.
Yeah, you can cram a Tank mod a size larger, but it's SO much harder to fit.
Create sized mods for the suits and scale PG and CPU accordingly.

You already know this, of course, but you can typically tell whether or not a red-dot sees you by checking his orientation for change as you move around him. If Ghost is fast enough, he'll be fairly tough to track and hit at medium range, and very tough to pursue. If he's shielded enough, he can withstand a couple hits and recover fully while moving from cover to cover. If he's lucky enough, he'll notice and avoid altogether the targets who actively track his position. If he's clever enough, he'll only engage targets who are wholly unaware of presence or at significant disadvantage. I suspect Ghost is all of these, and I'm not surprised that he does well even though he's Minja-gimped. He's a d*mn good Scout. Just like Musturd and Moody. Imagine what these guys could do with good suits!
I've talked to musturd and Moody, neither runs Min Scout as main in PC. They both switch to other scouts.
I think I'm the last one left. Mainly because I refused to spec into any other scout.

Thoughts on 1.8 so far:
I really like the Duvolle AR (Not the super OP Federation). It feels very good in CQC with the RoF and Damage
Shield Tanking is so much more viable. Regs and Rechargers are effective when used on shield suits now, and Enhanced shields are TOTALLY worth it now. I actually run Complex + Enhanced on a lot of my ADV suits.
Shield Tanking viability is my favorite thing in this new hotfix. My Min Suits are loving the ability to shield tank effectively (although it's mostly just using modules to get a good shield buffer with excellent speed and regen)
Things I don't like: Freaking Federation AR's are already being spammed to high hell.
Things I "Meh" about: Tanks. Meh. I don't notice a difference. Then again, I don't tank.

Idk how I feel about CB in the highs its nice in theory but that would put you at 125shields on a speed hack fit I mean you could always slap some armor in the lows but that's just not my playstyle Fair enough. The PG is probably gonna happen through different means. I expect them to add fitting optimization to NK skill tree, and there's a chance they'll move PG extenders to highs as well. Maybe Logibro will dial back resource req's on NKs as well ... no telling. Anyhow, I'm sure not gonna force more ninja on the minmatar if the pros don't want it! If Moody and Ghost are in agreement with you, then that's that. The hacking bonus will be rewired as your "built-in" bonus and the nova knife bonus as your derived bonus. I will say that Moody and Ghost have both said separately that NKs aren't useful in PC due to hit-detection being unreliable in PC...that they really only use them in pubs. I took this to mean they'd prefer something else. So ... if Moody and Ghost both favor the proposed changes, might you be willing to change your mind? Nope knives are fine in PC Moody just has different roles and isn't able to run them regularly and I normally see ghost with a shotty. Ask appia knives are fine in PC she got me the other day when I was in my speedhack suit. Trust me knives work you just need a proper squad to distract while the minny flanks its in no way as easy as a shotgun scout but its very useful for taking heavies down while the main fireteam progresses forward. It comes down to the map as well some maps its just not smart to carry a knife but regardless I carry it anyways
I hate running shotty in PC.
I normally run ACR in PC, but OH brings tons of shotguns to the field normally, so when I'm in city, I bring one too. You only see me when I play OH, so that's why it seems that way.
My General fit is ACR and Knives
Knives ARE fine in PC, but I still think the changes are helpful.
Right now if you want to use Knives in PC (At least against tanked heavies), you pretty much have to use the Min Scout. Ishnoks would take 4-5 full charge shots to kill a Tanked heavy without it, so it's not worth it for most. They would just use a shotgun.
I also run my scout a lot differently than the others. I try to take the versatility of the Minmatar to heart.
I have my speed/regen suit Stealth Suit Shield and Ferro Suit Hack Suit Etc....
I really try to make use of the versatile slot layout. Problem is though, the scans.
I would really like to see passive scanning removed, but that won't happen. In it's place, I would like the ability to capitalize on my speed.
Increased walk and sprint? Hell yeah. I NEVER stop moving in PC, and this combined with the high innate stamina regen on the Min Scout would do worlds to our overall speed.
EDIT: I seem to have misinterpreted the meaning of this post
@Shotty
I still use knives in PC. The problem isn't the Knives. HD is not the issue.
It's the fact that scans make it VERY difficult to knife, as you have to have the element of surprise.
Anyone who knows you are coming will backpedal away from you and gun you down.
We can Damp to high hell, but that removes all the versatility from the suit. And then we would have no speed or any other useful skills.
I get what Musturd is saying now. If you do these changes, there would be no reason to run Min Scout for Knives. You would be better off using the Gal Scout or something else. Stack Two damps and a proto cloak to hide, and then just run Speed and Armor.
You would only be a bit slower, but you deal almost the same damage and have more health AND regen.
That would truly be the death of the min scout. Used only for it's 3x Hack Suit. What a wast of SP that would be.

Math of Movement post to get an update. Just on a side note, do you have any idea what values are associated with fall damage? I'd like to take that one back up with CCP and it would be easier if I could talk their language. Fall damage seems to be a set value, but it's been awhile since I experimented with it. As I recall falling in a Med frame is a lot safer than falling in a scout suit. I think it should be percentage based though
It also maxes out at around 600 damage.
You can fall from the skybox in a heavy suit and survive. After a certain point, damage doesn't increase.

That is the reason why the hidden should have the final sacrifice and stay hidden with cloak.
I highly disagree with this. The cloak should not be brought in when considering Passive's. The cloak should be balanced as an active dampener against the active scanner.

You can't do anything if you can't stay hidden, its why people are upset about the current meta of high precision cal scouts. Thats why staying hidden its more powerful. Its the ultimate counter. Its why silencers in most FPS games are so useful, it keeps you off the radar.
I made my statement based on the consensus of "nerf cal scout precision". We ALL think that staying hidden should be the final counter (more powerful). Anyone here think otherwise?
I'm fine with a single cal about hunting me
It him letting his heavies and assaults hunt me which is aggravating

I've yet to play a game since Hotfix Alpha that didn't have at least 1 Cal-Scout on the other side. I really liked when I could just put 2 complex damps and a basic clock on my M-I. No point in trying unless I somehow get super lucky. Cal-Scout in pubs is easy. Even an C-I I can fit 3 complex precision enhancers if need be. I feel like my cal-scout in pubs is just to spite min and amarr scouts

Running anything the minja is built for, results in a very difficult situation. You can run it other ways and feel "alright" but you are normally better off running a different scout suit.
Luckly vets have the option of switching suits. Something else CCP needs to fix. I run minja with knives until I run into squads with cal scouts, but then its my main mission to swap to GAL damps and ruin their day. Only vets have that option and it sucks.

Granted, I normally go around 15/12 or something most of the time.
I'm sure I wouldn't be worth the deaths if it weren't for the fact that I just know how to PC well.
People with average kills who remember to flux links, cap objectives, etc. are far more important than the slayers at times.

Why? I've debated investing the SP in advanced REs, but even after the nerf to basic REs, I can plant three on a tank, flux it, and no more Madrugar/Gunnlogi/Soma/Sica. I also typically plant two on an objective after I hack it, so even the toughest proto heavy dies when I detonate them - and if they got fluxed, it doesn't matter if they're proto REs, they're still gone. I see that they allow for four remotes to be active, but still only give you three to carry, so... Why use the advanced RE, with its heavier fitting requirement? Serious, honest question here. I see F/45's in the kill feed all the time.
They are more powerful grenades with insane damage
I use them to clear heavies from objectives on Pc.
The arm time is the main reason why

What are you running? http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/983/5063
Reason why you are running out of CPU
Duvolle AR and Ishukone Assault SMG?
That's like 160 base CPU right there
On TOP of a Proto Cloak
AND 5 modules that are high(ish) in CPU
Try this fit if you want to hunt scouts
All I changed was this:
Gal scout doesn't need 2 damps and proto cloak. ADV will work just fine.
If you want to hunt scouts in a non-cal suit, you gotta go at least 2 precision. Dumped shields for precision
AR and Ishukone Assault? Yeah right. Unless you are going to main the SMG, M209 will do everything you need for less fitting space.
OH LOOK. I now have room for ADV Flux and some RE's.
I also took your reactive and turned it into a Complex Basic Plate. With less shields, you need some tank. Speed isn't important to this build, as your main goal is just to search and destroy. Nobody can see you on radar, so you shouldn't really need speed too much. Just float on an objective and light people up with AR

@Void
At work and on mobile. Will reply in Ernest in time
In the meantime, read the edit. It should make things a bit more clear as to why the min scout needs either a pg bonus or a module rework.
I can't downgrade any of the modules on my suit without compromising its abilities in PC.
My suit runs the lowest PG light weapons and knives without optimization. Speed or kincats cost way too much PG when included on top of a Proto cloak. I have no low slots for HP other than shields, so highs are filled with whatever health I can slap on.
The fit you had? Pro cloak is superfluous as well as the Ishuknone SMG. They can easily be downgraded. And I never even touch your main weapon.
Knives can't be anything under PRO, and I have to run Proto cloak. SMG is actually MORE PG than a CR.
Believe me, I've spent months optimizing my Min Scout, and I still have trouble making it do what it needs to do.

IgniteableAura wrote:I'll let you all in on a little secret I have been hoarding....because I love you.
When running against cal scouts look at their shields. It will tell you exactly how many PEs they are running and that in turn allows you to damp to that dB level. The changes to shield extenders and skills shouldn't make too big of an impact as long as you take into account the +/- 25hp.
A quick check depends on if they are running proto or adv. Assumption is running prototype
Shield value +/- 25hps <200 - 4PE ~250 - 3 PE ~300 - 2 PE ~380 - 1 PE >400 - 0 PE
For adv you can use the same numbers but reduce the number of PEs by one. For Gals thats a 1:1 ratio up to 3 damps. All other scouts will need a damp even if the CAL isn't running a PE and a +1 damp for each PE the CAL is running. The plus side is that you never have to fit over 3 damps to avoid a cal scout. But nongals have to utilize cloak if CAL is running 3PE.
To avoid; PE : Damp (MAX 3) GAL: N : N Non-Gal: N : N+1 (+ cloak at 3)
Now go annoy those cal scouts. I thought this was common knowledge

Honestly I think not having shared scans is a horrible idea for many reasons. First of all it is completely unrealistic such as in the modern army if I saw an enemy soldier, I would report his position vocally which would be a passive scan for my fellow soldiers. We also have satelites to help have scans including infrared and other such things, so you would be making the tech level in Dust equivalent to....before caveman times? Mainly because a lot of war is done through communication and signals which can not be done well inside the game as it currently is. I can not spot an enemy and mark it upon the map for everyone to see, I also can not tell more then 6 people of the enemy even with vocal communications in the game. Now lets go into scanning and profiles within the game, scouts by far have the lowest scan profile which allows them to hide the most effectively they are also the ones who have the furthest passive scans and most precise passive scans. Meaning that you would be effectively making more people blind to them and shotgunning or being hit with whatever other weapon including a plasma cannon. Due to sound and positioning not being effectively put into the game when you fire of say...a plasma cannon this greatly limits what people can do to find scouts or even snipers. Basically you would be making the gallente scout the god of the battlefield or any scout that could keep the scan profile under what active scanners can do, which is not to incredibly hard. You would be making heavy and assault suits mostly blind and without intel as if they had no one on their team at all. In short, taking out passive scans entirely in the game, without reworking every function of scanning including, range, profile, and precision would be game breaking. Let me put it like this, in Dust 514 I can sneak up on someone currently in a multi ton tank, tell me how great the passive scans are when I can do that. Who are you and where did you come from?
An excellent question.

The Gal will cetainly have an advantage, but passive invisibility isn't as powerful as passive vision. They'll be tough to beat, but they'll need to sacrifice lows to remain off the tac net.
I understand the concerns, but if a complete rework of EWAR is off the table then the most we can ask for is to limit the damage. I'm not sure I agree with closing down passive vision, but I can't think of another option that doesn't involve lots of changes.
Huh... Now that's interesting, I hadn't thought of that... But then aren't we just back where we were? With some Cal scout sitting in the corner letting his passives do the work but now he just uses the active scanner to light people up manually. He'd have to be using the focused because (I may be wrong) can't a single damp Gal get under the proto scanner? Though getting the "You have been scanned" warning before dying will be useful. It'll certainly trigger a bit of nostalgia in us.

Well if you get rid of the shared scans I think you can use that as a buff for the amarr assault. It seems major, but if you can make it so it pulses at set intervals that may balance it. An interesting ewar buff for minmatar would be passive scans for remotes that could also ping for the team. As for active scanners, I thought it would be cool if they had a small radial scan added to the cone. Nothing greater than maybe 20~25 meters. It would make the focused scanner more useful for as a scout counter.
So, like a 20m scan around the scanner, and then a pulse of focused scan in the direction?
Ehhh. I like the idea, but that just re-introduces the problem again.

A fine example of (one element of) why I opposed the "one trick pony" equipment binding of the support/logistics role. It's very hard to make them both viable and not OP. Of course in the case of scans this is even more true while we struggle with the "all or nothing" scanning mechanics. I fully support the GalLogi active scans (as long as the present bonus remains) being meaningfully better than any other suit running those same active scans, and I like the idea of the radial in theory but as of now I couldn't advocate it in practice since there are some 'bunkered' objectives where it would be far to easy to put that GalLogi in a protective box thus keeping squad scans active almost constantly unless the position gets overrun. Which is unfortunately far to close to how things stand now with the CalScout and it's passive scans. 0.02 Cross
Keep talking like this and you might find yourself a CPM

You'll find nearly 100% of us in favor (there's consensus even among the CalScout ranks). @ Amarr / Minmatar Scouts Provided Assaults are given hugs, an Amarr bonus to ferroscale/reactive plates would be great; we're close to unanimous on this point. As for Minmatar, Ghost's suggestion would likely be the safest bet (PG rework for Codebreakers, KinCats, Knives, Shield Extenders -- or -- base PG increase for Minmatar Scout). As an aside, many Scouts also favor redirecting Gallente and Caldari bonuses to point to EWAR modules; doing so would reduce our stomp-on-toes-of-assault rates. More on these ideas can be found here (Scout Polish Proposal, v4.7). @ Gal Logi (Appia, Cross) Perhaps best to wait-and-see? We could address as needed if/when confirmed to be necessary.
Edit: To CCP Rattati, from We Bastards old and new: Thank you for swinging by the Barbershop. It means more to us than you realize.
It really does mean a lot. We've been here for FOREVER and have the longest thread in the history of Dust, and we have only had Dev's stop by ONCE. (And that was to close the freaking thread. We were off topic because we had already discussed everything, and CCP didn't change scouts for around 6 months straight.)
So, it means A LOT to us.
As for how they found us?
We need more Med Frame Tears to power the dampening generator (I think that's what it still runs off of). Anyone wanna run and go get some more?

Varoth Drac wrote:Ghost Kaisar wrote:3.) Buffing Assaults. All you have to do to give assaults a place is to give people a REASON to run them. Right now, nobody runs them because anything an assault can do, a scout can do better (With more scans, cloaking etc.). This is the EXACT same problem scouts had a while back (Anything we could do, a logi could do better). The Assault : 593 HP Your Minmatar fit highlights a big problem with assaults that I feel would greatly improve balance if fixed - regen. Look at this assault-scout fit in comparison to your assault: Minmatar assault-scoutHP Assault: 593 Scout: 578 (15 less) Shield recharge Assault: 38hp/s Scout: 40hp/s Shield delay Assault: 3.69s Scout: 4s Shield depleted delay Assault: 6.03 Scout: 5.95s Speed Assault: 5.3, 4.77, 8.77 Scout: 5.65, 5.09, 8.31 So, with the assault fitted for shield regen (as it should be in my opinion) these stats are similar (scout has better movement other than sprint). But the scout has lower profile, better scan range and precision, better stamina and stamina regen, armor repair, better hack speed, and a cloak. Compared to the assault's increased clip size. Basically, all the regen mods have done is bring the regen to the level of a scout. Why bother when you could just use a scout suit? Solution? Give assaults the same regen as scouts (or both somewhere in between). There is already a "reason" to run assaults, they are better at using rifles than other suits, but this regen disparity spoils their advantages by forcing assaults fit to play catch up with scouts, rather than enhancing their abilities. The difference between the EWAR and regen stat disparity between scouts and assaults is that EWAR is not a thing that assaults are designed to worry about. Regen however is something important to assaults as you have demonstrated in your example. Fixing this would make a huge difference in my opinion. Also removal of shared passive scans could work, but I haven't formed a strong opinion on this yet. It certainly seems like it would solve a lot of problems. I would be inclined to think the cooldown and scan angle restrictions on active scanners would balance Gal scouts when they take up Cal scouts scanning duties, but i'm no expert.
I certainly agree with the fact that fits like these marginalize assaults. I just never fit my scouts like this, as they are far more effective when fit properly.
That being said, It HAS advantages, it's just not enough to warrant switching.
The Assault has most of it's HP in it's main buffer. It also has a T5 CR and T4 SMG, which are both affected by it's racial ability for projectile weapons. That thing can fire 168 bullets before it has to reload both guns.
The real problem here ISN'T Regen on assaults. Scouts are SUPPOSED to have better regen than assaults.
The problem is the Light Frames ability to armor tank.
Gal Scout does it Amarr Scout does Min Scout CAN do it (I don't know why though) Cal Scout does it.
However, that problem isn't easily fixed without percentage based HP modules or by removing slots.
I would support buffing Assault HP over Buffing Assault Regen.
Regen Should follow this progression: Scout - Assault - Logistics - Commando - Heavy Health should follow this progression : Heavy - Commando - Logistics - Assault - Scout
Health AND Regen is a BAD thing (When combined on a scout) It's half the reason why the Cal Scout is so powerful right now.
That being said, the 5/2 slot layout for the Cal assault should help mitigate that a bit.
My fit for the Cal assault being a 5/2 has it running 552 shields, having 45 hp/s regen, and 3 / 4.5 delay and depleted.
He is slow though, which presents the problem of fluxes. A cal scout should almost never get fluxed.
Heck, while I'm at it, I'm gonna make the 4/3 Proto Min Assault
Here it is
Throw on that 8.7 sprint for the last low slot. I have enough CPU and PG for it as well.
God, if I had that fit, I would go Proto Min Assault (with my scout) and never look back.

I think people are confusing "a well fit and coordinated squad" with "FOTM." scouts provide battlefield intelligence. If you remove this ability, the blueberries that constantly benefit from my assistance won't have that chance anymore, and the slaughter will become even more one-sided. Think before you act on this one. The unintentional consequences (things that exist beyond the WP metric) are not clear. The obvious counter to a CalScout is a mass driver. Please be cautious removing a canon role from a specialist class.
I'm sorry, I don't normally do this but.....

So many vital modules to scout playstyle are in the low slots, I'm a Gallente at heart and love my blaster+armor+speed builds I use on my Cruisers in EVE. But this would be one of the best suits in the game. It would become Flavor of the Month to have that much fitting diversity and a Scout's naturally lower scan profile. Maybe if we switched the load out to 1/5 and buffed the minja by making hacking inherent, removing the bonus, then giving it a 1% bonus to move speed? That would probably bring both suits up to cal/gal levels of viability IMHO, without creating an FoTM, as there would be so many viable suits to choose from, versus just caldari with a tiny bit of gallente. This would, of course, accompany an assault suit buff as well
Changing too much, keep it simple.

Also, Damage mods simply don't help enough to even be of help.

(1) add "you have been scanned" warning when passive scans are detected.

Because this would never be abused.
In order for this to work, you need to be able to spawn in under 3 seconds.
To be useful, it needs to be around 1 second (Due to switching objectives and suits)
1 second spawns are a VERY bad idea.
Imagine 6x Amarr scouts in tanked out armor spawning over and over on an objective, spamming links the entire time.
They only have to keep the links up long enough for the big boys to spawn in.
This could get ugly fast.
I do however really like 1 and 2.
If we make passive scanning happen in "Pulses" this could be more useful. Not only that, but it gives the dampening bonus to cloaks a bit of help.
Scanned? Try cloaking. In a few seconds "Prevented" should pop up, and you disappear from radar. Were you killed? Was it a scout?
Would make hunting through tac net a bit more interesting.

So, I'm even more hyped for Destiny Beta.
16 days people.
I didn't get to play alpha, but people have put together the class skill trees and attributes, so that you can "Build" your character.
Mine looks like this so far:
Exo Hunter: Gunslinger
At endgame, I have VERY high recovery and Agility. Not much toughness. Sound familiar?
I get throwing knives, and every time I get a "Precision Shot" (Crit hit or headshot probably) I reload my gun faster (It stacks) and if I get a knife precision kill, it resets the cooldown to zero.
I'll be a jumping agile little war machine that tears people to shreds with crits and never lets up the assault. At range, I'll use a DMR and unleash bullet storm, as I reload faster with every headshot.
I can't wait [:twisted:]

They have weapon ammo drops to control how much the special weapons/heavy weapons are used, could see them tweaking that timer a bit more. Yeah I'm just going to shut up and say I loved it.

Though, would it be possible for those bonuses to apply to all suits within that frame? So the Light one would affect Light's, Scouts, and the Pilot (if it existed) Rather than just affecting the scout. And Heavy frame skill for the frames, Commandos and sentinels? What I have planned is similar along those lines. Long term I'd like to reach a point where each frame is capable of unique fits that the Specialty suits are incapable of replicating, but without the specific role bonuses that Specialization offers. In order to do this, Frame suits need to have unique but powerful bonuses as well as slot and equipment setups that are different from their Specialty counterparts. This assures that the Frame Suits may be preferable over specialty suits in some situations, and also gives you a reason to level them beyond level III, as the skill would still benefit the specialty suit in some way.
I like this.

I've been away for a month now, decided to wait and see what alpha and bravo did. Played over this weekend. While there's some interesting fixes the meta still seems very much the same. My problematic Gal Scout and Sentinel fits are still OP. I literally had to change nothing on those fits. Cal scouts are still forcing everyone to run proto damps or go home. The LAV HMG Heavy is still ridiculous. HAVs can still sit comfortably surrounded by enemy infantry secure in the knowledge REs have been nerfed. Match making is horrific as always.
I'm actually finding myself missing 1.7 and that makes me sad.
It may also just be this event encouraging proto stomping, but never the less.
I wont be gone entirely, I'll poke my head in to see what's up in game, throw some ISK at Jace and fiddle with fits. And of course I'll still be occupying the closet down stairs and posting here.

Sounds good to me, so long as you make it so that Min and Amarr scouts can realistically dodge 2-3x Cal scans and still have a reason to run the suit.
If you are gonna dump the knife bonus, then buff knives overall. There is a reason why nobody really uses them except for Min Scouts.
Without a bonus, they aren't worth it.

I agree with this to an extent.
Rattati, if you really wanna fix the problem of people tanking suits outside of their intended HP range: Do what you did in EVE.
Small, Medium, and Large Modules with increasing CPU/PG for each. Regulate CPU/PG per suit to prevent people from over fitting HP without either heavily investing in CPU/PG upgrades or gimping their own fits for the sake of HP.
Hell, if you do that, might as well make weapons all T1 and T2 as well.
I didn't know how much I loved the EVE progressions until I played it.

Give plates an across the board 10% penalty to speed and watch what happens.
Mind you, this means that Basic, ADV, and PRO all have 10% to sprint and strafe. Nothing increases, as you go up, they just get more protective. More incentive to run Complex Ferro if you want armor without speed penalties.

Note to self: Never let a kid drink Anti-Freeze. You can't do anything until they get to the ER really.
Prognosis:
For ethylene glycol: Death may occur within the first 24 hours. If the patient survives, there may be little or no urine output for several weeks before the kidneys recover. Any brain damage may be permanent. Vision loss or blindness may also be permanent.
For methanol: Methanol is extremely toxic. As little as 2 tablespoons can kill a child, while 2 to 8 oz. can be deadly for an adult. The ultimate outcome depends on how much was swallowed and how soon appropriate care was given.

Okay, I really like this idea from Boromir.
Okay, Min scouts have trouble dampening to avoid scans right? But we cant be impossible to scan, otherwise we risk making Cal scouts useless.
Remember the nerf to cloak duration? It's really hard to stay perma-cloaked now. Cloaking is done in WAVES now.
So let's have the Min scout have a bonus to cloak damp! It solves the god awful problem of dodging scans, but in a way that Cal scouts can still hunt them, just in waves of opportunity. It can also open up some slots, as if you give the Min Scout the ability to fit only 1-2 damps, he still has fitting versatility!
Combine with Min scout speed, the cloak can then be used for rapid insertion for the min scout. Dampened just long enough to do his job. Then he retreats.-á
Gal scout has the ability to passively avoid scans, which plays into his role as a CQC scout (armor, gallente, regen).
So make the Min scout similar! Similar to shields, it gets a bonus to cloak damp, allowing for powerful but short bursts of dampening. With a PG buff, we could see the code breaker, speed and damp scout have a role. Quickly able to run in under cloak, and hack a point or kill a target. When the hunter comes, damp and run.
You can't stick around, but that's what the Gal is for.
Thoughts? I will elaborate with math when I get back from work.

I like the idea a lot as well, but I distinctly recall the minmatar demanding to keep current bonuses to knives and hacks. Rattati also mentioned more speed, which likely would help. My point is, we can't say yes+yes+yes+yes for the minmatar then stick the other three scouts with one bonus.
If you guys wish to revisit a swap, your first step must be to convince Musturd and Moody.
Let me know. o7
I hate to say it, but I would take a functional suit with no knives over one that sits and collects dust because it's useless outside of pubs.
Dump the Knives bonus, let the suit actually do something useful.
Main Bonus would be bonus to cloak dampen Second bonus would be to hack speed (Base or module, whatever)
Speed is fine where it's at. It's only vital if you can't dodge scans.
Buff to PG / Module re-work included should let the suit finally be able to do it's job in PC. Able to quickly move up and hack objectives under stealth, or be able to infiltrate and assassinate underneath the Cal Scout scans.
With changes to Cal Scout scans, I would insist that a Proto Cloak and Dampen beat 2x Precision scans while active. Cloak + 2 Damps does the same for 3x Precision.
Classic setup would then be 1x Codebreaker, 1x Speed, 1x Damp and cloak. Run 2x Shields and 1x Recharge, Pro Primary, ADV sidearm and ADV or Basic equip to back up.

This is the simplest solution.
If you balance from PC side, it should all trickle down to pubs. If it's balanced for the elite, it'll be balanced for the rest.

I don't have time to devote to a corp, nor do I have the ability to use a mic that would enable me to be fully involved in squads, especially on that higher level.
Pubs fit what I want to get out of the game.
IF removing knives were the ONLY way to balance the game, after all other ideas were exhausted, then I would understand. I have been knifing for coming up on a year, and would be very disappointed but would understand.
I just think there has to be some reasonable fixes that can be made that don't involve taking knives away from minjas, that enable them to be viable in both PCs and pubs.
Edit: What I really miss is the old FW. I used to play that exclusively. Once they added the LP store, and every match was more lopsided than a pub, I just couldn't take it.
There is a way, but it ain't reasonable. It requires that we get 3 bonuses over the other two.
Why? We need hacking to be viable in PC
Everyone wants Knives
You need damps if you want to be successful.
Current damps doesn't cut it. Believe me, I want to keep my knives too, but bottom line is this:
If I was told to choose between knives and a fit that was only good for pubs (And still outshone by every other scout) and a suit with PC utility and no knives, I would take the latter EVERY DAMN TIME.
I'm tired of being a top tier player who is held back by a suit that he loves and hates at the same time.

So play a gal scout, no? don't **** the min suit.. make them fix it. knives are the cornerstone of the suit, and it should remain that way.
Then convince everyone to let the Min Scout have 3 bonuses.

There are many ways you could get creative about minjas.. hell everything. But here you guys are working with CCP Ratattatitatat on hotfixes that accomplish nothing. It's like taking a car that is totaled and putting different air fresheners in it to see if it is finally acceptable to drive. Even if it smells a little bit better, it's still totaled. But it is what it is. That being said- There are only a few aspects of this game that actually give it some desirability for most people to play, and when it comes to minja playerss it is knifing. When I seldomly load up dust, I only knife because it's the only thing that makes the game fun for me. Without a knifing bonus, the minja is DOA. PC is pubs just with the civil war reenactment larper level of participation. Most of CCPs customers play pubs. To cater to a small group of people who exploit the game is a bad move. Every time. And for this whiny elitist band of people to whine about one weak ass suit getting 3 bonuses vs 2 and how many modules it equates to blah blah fuckety blah.. boo ******* hoo. It's painfully easy to eyeball evaluate the strategic importance of each bonus. This is all exacerbated by the lack of confidence of the developer in their product. They should be able to handle this **** on their own. This is Day Z level of ... nay.. War Z level of development we have going on.
Mollerz brings up a fair point.
Why the hell are we trying to fix and balance this game for CCP?

I really like active dampening idea, as its not cookie cutter like the gal scout bonus, but still makes the minja PC viable
We've brought this up before. I believe that Zatara was the one who wanted the 1.75 base hack for Min Scouts
It's an excellent solution.
I also love the cloak idea.

Dude. Rattati just came in here and told us that he wants to give AM, GA, and CA one bonus each, and that he wants to make Minmatar faster. By my math, we're no longer looking at 2 bonuses compared to 3. GA: Profile CA: Precision AM: Range MN: Hacks, Knives, SpeedAdd Active Dampening bonus to MN for an even 4:1? We can't sell that, Ghost.
Which is exactly my point.
We are only gonna get one or two.
Pick wisely people. Wanting just knives is a TERRIBLE decision.
Choose hacks.
Hopefully eWAR gets reasonably balanced as well, and we still maintain our speed.

What good are NK's if you can't get into melee range? I am not against Min scout getting buffs/fixes as it seems. I want to lvl it back to proto badly because I like the slot layout, innate hacking, speed, stamina/recharge, and shield/recharge. I Like the hacking bonus (would be better in high slot) but the one bonus that just kills it is the NK. As many min scouts have said here min scout is getting killed because of the shared tac-net. Yes they have choice to run 3x dampeners with a proto suit but what about in STD and ADV suits? the NK bonus is not helping them get into melee range in those suits so what good is that mega dmg bonus to min scout not in a proto suit if you cant get into range to use it? buff the NK's and make them a SCOUT weapon not just a Min scout weapon. They are not even a Min weapon but they are the pros at using them, lol Don't ask to buff Min scout and expect me to just sit back and not give my opinion because I want to have a reason to lvl it up. I know what makes it weak and I don't just want to buff the proto suit for PC. I want it to be as useful as my gal and cal at STD as that is what I use 90% of the time. STD cal scout is pointless to run a dampener more so than the STD min scout I will add. Again Cal is good for standing in corners with squad guarding. Not really what one would call scouting. Guess that is why I use mine for sniping. dude.. I am sorry but I am going to have to say your vote is null and voidfaction on matters considering the minja estate. Please, have unlimited fun in the upstairs VIP of the bar. We have only the purest red jar, as much as you can partake (and feel free- we have a complimentary vomitorium within easy reach). We also have the finest pleasure clones with a myriad of options made to order courtesy of an unwitting yet prominent Amarrian Sentinel. Free of charge, of course. Just STFU about the minja

On the Nova knife, I feel if adhesion works then it may reduce the need for range and/or increased damage. I don't think that we can get optimization skills for the NK in right now, so a Minja PG increase should go a long way.
And finally, Codebreakers in high?
1.) I can work with this. What would the Cal get if Amarr got the Precision bonus?
2.) Adhesion would work great for CQC fights. I would like to suggest that you reduce backpedal speed instead though. 100% speed backpedal needs to go. It's been the bane of every knifer ever since knives where released.
3.) Codebreakers in high's? What are you doing going after my heart like that? <3 It solves several problems with the suit in PC without changing the bonuses.
Time to introduce the 2x Shield, 1x Codebreaker, 1x speed, and 2x Damp Min Scout.

CCP Rattati wrote:Dear scouts, and I am looking at you Haerr , can you assist me in two ways double check my calculations, because this is pretty complex stuff, and even I can make mistakes and then start thinking about the right bonuses. We really want EWAR to be less binary, so I want to play with bonuses so that a dedicated scout with all slots, can evade even the best precision, but only while cloaked, but the gallente would retain the ability to be unscannable out of cloak. The numbers in the document are just something I was playing around with last night while proof reading the calculations, but they should be correct. Let's iterate on this over the weekend and early next week and see if we can't make it a little better then "ok". EWAR Calculations
Hmm.. Looking at how the slot layouts and bonuses work, I like the way this is headed. If you want max precision, you go Amarr, if you want decent precision with excellent range, you go Cal.
I also noticed that you made the PRO cloak a 15% reduction instead of 10%
Using that number.....
My min Scout with 2x Damps and PRO cloak has a profile of 15.71. This rounds up to 16 (Stupid rounding)
I can dodge 1x Amarr Scans, and 2x Cal Scans (3x rounds up to 16, and tie goes to scanner)
3x Damps and PRO cloak and I have a profile of 13.47. Rounds up to 14.
I can dodge everything.
Normally, I would be saying "This doesn't change anything" but since Min Scout gets codebreakers to high, I can still do my job. I can Speed hack AND be invisible, meaning that I can get onto the objective undetected and hack.
What fit's will I run?
2x Damp Min Scout:
1x Shield 2x Codebreaker
1x Speed 2x Damp
Hacks in 3.81s, dodges most scans while cloaked.
The 3x Damp will be the same, except just with 3x damps and 3x codebreakers.
I suspect that Cal Scouts will still be slightly more popular, but Amarr scouts will have a role as point defense specialists. They can Tank both precision and armor and be tough to take down.
Granted, we can walk under his scans, but he still has a huge HP advantage.
Caldari will be more popular due to those 87-120m scans. This guy will LOCK DOWN the city for everyone not running damps.
So scouts damp and everyone else has to duke it out with the wall hack on.
No reason to run active scanners anymore. This guy does it better. Scanners will solely be used for the focused to scan scouts.
eWAR is slightly better for scouts, but still f'd up overall.

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p wrote: I think the real problem comes down to being able to stack armor plates in the low slots while being unscannable, and id REALLY LOVE if there was a way to increase the speed penalty only for scouts/lights, making it very unnapatizing to use plates, and allowing scouts more freedom in their fittings in a competitive setting. Remember, in a PC match or a pub stomp or a competitive FW match, the best scans are going to be the ONLY scans, and there will be a few dedicated people whose only purpose is to use them at all times, making it necessary to dodge those scans.
By requiring two damps to do so, the min/cal scout will be, pardon my french, screwed in every competitive setting due to their lack of an ability to use any other scoutly modules such as range amps or kin cats. Please reconsider this. If we continue to pursue the idea of a scout being a scout only if they have maxed out skills, can fit a proto cloak (minmitar can't btw if they run PG intensive modules), and completely ignore every EWAR and biotic module or tank module for dampeners.
Not entirely true.
Min Scout's MAIN role in PC is hacking.
We can still do that. Anyone who tries to range amp their min scout is loco. We don't have the precision or the range to do so properly.
We lose a bit of slaying ability, but not much. We only lose that Kincat slot to be INVISIBLE.
I would much rather be sprinting at 8.31 and be invisible than to be scanned and sprinting at 9.35.
Damp > Speed
If you don't want to hack, stack shields and damps. You can still slay really well with your shields and weapons.
Also: We are getting a PG buff. Remember that. We can totally run what we need to now.

Without a cloak.
Sounds good to me. You still have a low slot to run a ferro or something else.
And you don't have to cloak to dodge scans (unlike everyone else).
You have advantages, the suit just isn't as powerful as it was before.

Wow. Leave to do other things to find 100+ notifications.
First things first:
hfderrtgvcd wrote:
Gallente should beat best precision with one damp and cloak active, all other scouts should reach it with two damps. Also, will you be giving signature penalties to all plates or just complex. I recommend the latter, because otherwise assaults will be impacted negatively.
This is bad and you should feel bad. Allowing scouts to dodge scans WITHOUT using more than 2 modules is bait for the old Gal Problem. With one damp, I can give you a Gal scout with around 700 HP, be invisible, sprint at over 9m/s and run full proto.
THIS IS BAD.
2.) Here is the main problem we are trying to address. eWAR. eWAR is in a VERY sorry spot right now, mainly due to the fact that there is no BALANCE to scanning/precision.
One is king, and the other is USELESS in these scenarios.
IF we have to have one be useless, let's make precision useless. Back in the old days, scouts were nigh impossible to detect to eachother. Scout battles became "Fighting in the Dark". Lots of skill involved.
I want to move back to that stage.
Scouts can't do their job if scanned. Scouts should not counter scouts.
Active Scanners should counter scouts, but in waves of opportunity (Scans being unable to perma-scan).
It would follow this:
Scout beats heavy (Slow target that is blind to the scout) Heavy beats Med (Tons of HP and DPS.) Med beats scout (Only a bit slower, can dodge scans with damps, and has an HP advantage)
Notice how I mention med frames running damps. Meds used to run TONS of damps in PC, due to the fact that they could avoid scouts. This gave them their place in the above statement. Heavies were then PROTECTED by the Med frames.
Med frames and heavies engaged each other, with scouts running along the edges of the skirimish and eliminating lone targets and assassinating heavies if they could get away with it.
THIS is the goal we should be working towards IMO.
I would love to hear a response from you on this Rattati. I would go into detail, but it's dinnertime.

Honestly if it were up to me I'd throw away the gallente's damp bonus and the caldari's precision bonus. No scout suit should have them. Here we are balancing E-War for a 3rd time and the gallente is going to end up OP in some way or whatever scan scout is going to end up OP.
I hate to say it but I miss the days of the scannerinas. This precision v dampening crap we've got going on is ridiculous. Me, Ghost and a few others have been saying this over and over. Good to see you agree.

Soooooo, in your earnest opinion, based on the document, post Charlie situation in a nutshell?
Seems to be.
As a Minmatar Scout: This works pretty damn well. I like the numbers. Min won't be left out in the corner.
I would like to ask that cloak profile gets normalized as well. Better duration is reason enough to run a PRO cloak, but when push comes to shove with fittings, the option to downgrade cloak and maintain profile is very useful. It also saves that precious PG that I need (I still say this because I don't know how MUCH PG the Min scout is getting.)
Thanks for sticking around and working with us to fix this! \o/

division of power. scouts became light assaults because of their scan range. not their precision, and not because of their scan profiles. you keep trying to force precision, profile and range bonuses within the scout class. why? being stealthy isnt about being able to see everyone on the map and finding people. its about hiding. scouts achieved that the day they got cloaks. now you want them to do everything else on top of it.
if you cant be seen or scanned, you can flank targets all day long. you dont need range and precision as well. nobody knows where you are in the first place.
please rethink your strategy of not dividing ewar among scouts, assaults, and logis instead of handing everything to only scouts. some of those function would be better served on other classes
eWAR is the point of the scout suit. eWAR includes everything that involves dampening, precision, and range.
This is our domain. Nobody should be better at it.
Assaults are getting buffed, hopefully on the regen side, allowing them to be the best at fight back to back battles.
Heavies are HP Kings, and DPS kings.
Commando's are deadly versatile killers, with an excellent HP pool.
Logi's get bonuses to all equipment and form the backbone of PC. Can't play PC without good logi's.
If you give eWAR to the other classes, you run the risk of making them VERY OP.
Imagine if you had a Amarr assault with range bonuses. Stack 2x precision on them and a range amp. 50m scan on an assault suit that picks up everything that isn't a scout. And he has TONS of armor.

Personally I think higher regen on the Assaults makes them too self-sufficient and downplays the teamwork aspect of the game.. A fitting bonus to Armor/Shield regen mods on the other hand I'd be OK with. But only because Shield Rechargers and Shield Energizer just cost way too much for the complex modules
How would you fix the Assault suit then?
What would allow it to have a niche in the combat side of the suits?

That is a terrible, terrible thought.
If you give assaults the ability to be their own eWAR, why on EARTH would anyone run scout?

Summing up our behavior quite well.
Here's a bit of wisdom from a friend.
"Don't yell and get mad when someone says you're wrong. If you don't like what they are saying, improve your argument."
The barbershop is not a place for people with thin skin. We routinely call people out on things we think are stupid, and spend that time debating and improving our own arguments.
Over time, since we have so many different viewpoints and arguments, we generally can boil down to a group consensus on things that we know are the best for scouts.
How do we know that they are the best?
Because we've argued about it for about a week and found that most people agree with certain aspects of a change.
This thread does nothing but get better with time. Hence why Rattati came here to discuss scout buffs. Because we have been arguing and debating about scout playstyles and buffs for over a year.
We have put far more thought and effort into this than anything else on the forums. His stopping here first was a very smart move.

Remember, the suit has a 62 BASE.
A bonus of +3 to base PG pushes it to 85 PG. I

We did the math a LONG time ago.
Stamina < Speed at all distances less than 400m
I think the crossover point was somewhere around that distance. At that distance, it was better to run 1 speed 1 stamina rather than 2 speed.

Commando-
Role Bonus-5% reload speed per level
A-5% faster cool down on laser weaponry per level, 1% to laser weaponry damage M-+1 to explosive weaponry clip size per level, 1% to explosive/projectile weaponry damage C-5% to range and scope zoom with rail weaponry per level, 1% to rail weaponry damage G-2% to plasma weapon damage/level
Assault-
Role Bonus-+1 armor repair rate per second, +10% shield recharge rate
A-5% reduction to heat build-up laser weaponry M-5% clip size of projectile weaponry C-20% reduction to spool time of rail weaponry G-2% RoF of plasma weaponry
Assault could become massively OP
Imagine if you would, this Cal Assault.
With +50% shield recharge, it gets 45 base hp/s shield recharge. Slap on a Energizer. It now has 79 hp/s shield recharge.
With a Regulator and complex reactive, you also have 3s delay and 4s depleted. ON TOP of 216 armor and 8 hp/s armor regen.
Combine this with Assault rail rifles that fire instantly and you have a problem. Oh, and he has around 700 hp
ALSO: The Bolt Pistol. It is now full auto due to the lack of charge up. A full auto revolver that deals 150 damage a shot at 50+m.
Think about that.
Not only that, but the Gallente RoF? That's crazy! A 10% buff gets them to almost 900 RPM. That's almost SMG level RPM with more range AND Damage. We're talking 500 base DPS!
Please, before you post ideas, immediately think about how they could be abused.

No.
While that would make sense, it would make Kincats not viable anymore. You already can't speed tank to save your life. It's simply a method for getting to point "A" faster.
You give Kincats a stamina penalty, and you might as well remove Kincats from the game.

I was more thinking of the guys Aero and True run with that aren't the two of them. There's one guy that is a commando and is deadly with the LR, but get inside the LR's optimal range and you have him dead-to-rights as his ScR skills aren't that good.
Yup. I love playing against Aero and True though. Tough fights. I'll even run my Min Assault from time to time just to have fun

Soooo many people raging already about the proposed changes.
None of them have looked at the data or thought about this.
SCOUTS! Go into the forums and show them why these changes are necessary.
People are willing to listen if you explain it!
Help me out a bit, I got my hands full over here.

I still have never played Morrowind. Only Oblivion and Skyrim. I liked Oblivion's world more that Skyrim, but Skyrim's mechanics were so much better. You really need to play Morrowind. It's cheap now, and it's a really good game. Dated, but still an excellent game. So true However, fair warning, you will hate the combat for your first...ten levels? Magic is completely different but there are sooooo many spells, like 10 times more spells they are amazing. But the game works way different than Oblivion and Skyrim Also way more weapons, there are spears, throwing knives & stars, a million different kinds of swords, canes but they're called staffs, clubs with nails, the weapons are amazing. The monsters are hands down better than skyrim. Giant reptiles and floating jelly fish (Netches). You can also pretty much play skyrim with the Slothsiem island. Got draugers and bears (snow bears are magical, for some reason) and these little ******* goblins that ride hogs that can really **** you up. But a great game.
MOTHER F*CKING CLOUD RACERS
But yeah, you gotta be careful while leveling up. The game is a lot tougher, but FAR more immersive.
No other Elder Scroll has matched the feeling of being in another world quite like morrowind. It was very surreal and alien, from everything from the fauna and plants, to the culture and religion.
A VERY well made game.

Cliff Racers I'm going to get very....nerdy right now... Remember Vivec with the floating rock? All the Daedra temples? The Witch cities? The Tombs? Mournhold (OMG Mournhold)? Sorry I need to reminisce.....the ICE CASTLE! Telvanni cities were sick as hell, same with Redoran. Hlaalu was meh but they had some key cities. The giant Ants.....Red Mountain was way too hard for me. All the zombies and crazy ass monsters always insta killed me with some crazy as hell spell. The Icarian Scroll of flight was hilarious, you could jump and 1/8 of the map lol
I miss my old Spell Sword.
Combine Jump 50pts with slowfall 1 for 60s.
Not as great as the Icarian scroll, but strong enough to let me jump anywhere without acrobatics.
Illusion buffed my stealth, Drain Health 50pts for 1s was used as a finishing blow (Drops their health by 50pts for 1s. They regain it 1s afterwards, but if they have less than 50 health, they get insta-killed.)
So many exploits if you were smart. My Spell Sword was a very happy Dark Elf

We need a better abbreviation, unless you like "dude with all the random letters in his name" (RLG, random letter guy?) Hell, the letters probably aren't even random but they sure look like it. How about "hoofder"? Kinda what Ghost suggests....
How about just "Hoof"?

there is a dusty out there who got frustrated when every name he chose was taken so he mashed the numbers out.. it's a huge string of them. We just call him numbers. maybe we should just call him letters. I can't help but think the swedish chef from the muppets could say his name like a champ. Also the bungie groups/sign ins are down for maintenance. I wonder if they will be doing the big update soon Heer De bor de Knife Training
This is freaking hilarious in context.
His name is now The Swedish Chef (The name of that muppet)

So 12 PM CST for me.
Wish it had been earlier. I work on that day. I'll probably start the download on Thursday and play Friday. I'll no life through the weekend (Everyone is leaving for vacation early.

I can't remember the total damage you get.
Protip for beta users (if you have it) are the HEP kin cats. +5% melee dam + 5% sprint bonus (if memory serves). I only have a 100 and never used them.
But you toss 3x myros on with 3x HEPs and you can knock the **** out of people.
I was.
3x Melee, 1x speed, 2x damp + cloak
The three to four man Melee kill feeds were totally worth the death count.
Melee isn't a bad option to run one or two. At two, you get 350 Melee, which really packs a punch. Run an AR, melt shields and then punch through armor. Tons of fun.-á
Like this:
1x shield 2x Melee
1x ferroscale, 1x speed, 1x damp

Hate to break it to you, but you'll shortly find out most adults are no better than 16 years olds. The real fallacy about adults growing up is that adults suck and aren't the stewards of the youth we like to think they are when we are young.

All these talks about 40 times!
I played American Football in highschool. Fastest 40 time I got was 4.6 second 40.
Unfortunately, I can't sustain. My 100's were always around the upper 11's.
I was 6th fastest on my team. Too bad I couldn't tackle to save my life, and I had feet for hands. I could run the ball though.

Suppression on Sniper rifles is the stupidest thing ever.
It should cause insane scope sway, not making your bullet NOT follow the crosshairs.

They have my favorite cities and armor (squid helmets!) though and the land is full of creepy ass **** to kill you. The 3rd house is Redoran, they are the honorable group and favor good ol' warrior.

So I joined up Redoran because they specifically said that they like spears and medium armor. Now I'm trying to find some herder who lost his guar but I can't find her because LOLMorrowind has no destinations you have to use your journal which tries to give you directions. For instance: Go up the road take a road until you hit the hills, go west.

Killed the mage before the bonewalker could do too much cursing. Eat **** bonewalker. The next guy was like a spellsword. . . . . **** destruction spells.
Dear Bojo
I told you that Morrowind is hard mode. Level up well and save often, because you have no idea what will be thrown at you. Always make sure your gear is in tip top shape, and NEVER be scared of running away. Sometimes you need to put aside a quest for later.
Hlaalu is the best house IMO, but then again, I was a Dark Elf Spellsword. Stealth came naturally to me, and I used magic to augment it.
If bonewalkers are giving you trouble, try killing at a distance. They curse on touch so just dance out of range with your spear and kill them slowly. Either that, or do what I do and BURN THE MOTHERFUCKERS.
The game is also HUGE. So much to do and see. The place never loses that feeling of being an alien and hostile environment. Man, all this talk of the game makes me want to pop in my copy, or even buy a copy from steam.
Sincerely, Ghost.
Post Script:
I'll keep a journal too.

Killed the mage before the bonewalker could do too much cursing. Eat **** bonewalker. The next guy was like a spellsword. . . . . **** destruction spells. Dear Bojo I told you that Morrowind is hard mode. Level up well and save often, because you have no idea what will be thrown at you. Always make sure your gear is in tip top shape, and NEVER be scared of running away. Sometimes you need to put aside a quest for later. Hlaalu is the best house IMO, but then again, I was a Dark Elf Spellsword. Stealth came naturally to me, and I used magic to augment it. If bonewalkers are giving you trouble, try killing at a distance. They curse on touch so just dance out of range with your spear and kill them slowly. Either that, or do what I do and BURN THE MOTHERFUCKERS. The game is also HUGE. So much to do and see. The place never loses that feeling of being an alien and hostile environment. Man, all this talk of the game makes me want to pop in my copy, or even buy a copy from steam. Sincerely, Ghost. Post Script: I'll keep a journal too. Stop it, both of you! You're totally going to lure me into completing another play through and I haven't the time... it's like some mad man decided I should do something responsible and useful like hold an elected position or... oh wait..
Bought a copy from steam, and am going to mod it with a code fix and the Morrowind Rebirth Mod (Which is a ton of mods thrown together. It adds a whole slew of things to it)
Total Package size? Just around 1.7 GB.
Hell, the main game was only 780 MB

The only time you could flank was if an enemy was already engaged and too focused on the firefight to notice you flanking. Which considering the brief gunfights, were very small windows. Yeah, one of the things I was disappointed with was the lack of any real way to be sneaky in Pvp The crouch to drop off radar has already been mentioned, but there's also going to be class specific abilities for proper stealth/invisibility on the Hunter/Bladedancer subclass. If the invisibility is akin to the clacked Fallen mobs then could be quite interesting in PVP, particularly when coupled with specialisation in knifing. http://destinynews.net/bladedancer-sunsinger-defender/ I loved it when I got the Komarov helmet that gives you faster melee. I wish I could have found a complete set that gave that bonus Found that one as well, made knifing so much easier Been trawling the items DB and found some other interesting effects. I think my favourite so far is this one: http://www.destinydb.com/items/3490486525-mida-multi-tool#zLHqSG8Upgrade 6: This weapon boosts movement speed and fires on a hair trigger. Hell heah.
Main Weapon I want: http://www.destinydb.com/items/3164616407-hawkmoon#zMkUtb28
Hawkmoon. It probably has an 11 round clip, and has 3 shots that deal considerable bonus damage. High ROF and Reload, along with the ability to deal mild AoE with rounds.
I love hand cannons. They only seem to have a niche at Rare or Above level.

Mine on the other hand is stylized as a turn-by-turn analysis of what's happening, along with personal commentary.
For Example:

Reposition troops to attack flank. Appia moves to better cover and has Jace protecting her. Arkena has moved around the building and entered the back door in a flank. Jace and Monk are on overwatch. End turn.
Well, this sucks. Welcome to Ironman Classic.
X-ray hits Jace for 3 damage. He's fine, but wounded. Except he freaking PANICS. Thankfully, he remembers to fire at ENEMIES and not at friendlies.
Panic spreads like a disease. Appia gets panicky too, and opens fire on target in full cover. I have now wasted two moves from squadmates.
Jace is in a bad spot: Half cover and wounded. And I cant move him. So I move Monk up and grenade the X-ray behind cover.

1. What role do you guys see the CalScout serving post-Charlie? 2. If we move forward with efficacy bonuses, how would we augment this role to set him apart from the others?
Cal scout will scan infantry. With large range and a few precision mods, they'll scan practically anything that isn't a scout.
It will hopefully force assaults to waste a slot or two to damp if they want to not be scanned. Like the good old days

Bojo The Mighty wrote:Bojo's Morrowind Diary
Dear Ghost Kaisar,
You had a disturbing dream. You can only recall one part. A tall figure with a golden mask led you among the dead as through a wedding celebration. You heard many voices but no lips moved. You strained to breathe, but your chest didn't move. The tall figure spoke with each figure as he passed among them, laughing and joking, as if they were alive, but they made no reply. You tried to cry out, but without breath, your tongue fluttered in vain.
That's right bitches! I've completed the first of many Blades quests! In Morrowind the Blades are very much alive and kicking. Caius Cosades, my boss, had me investigate the Nevarine prophecy and the Sixth House. However in order to learn about these, I had to perform a favor for the expert. I had to go to Arkngthad and retrieve a Dwemer puzzle box.
I've done this quest before but.....I ran into the inevitable glitches of old school games! I tried to walk up the path to Arkngthad but everytime I tried I fell through the ground and hit an invisible wall. It took me foreeeeeeever to get around the invisible wall. Usually there is a conjurer protecting the bridge, and as I made my way around the invisible wall, I was glitching out. I was in mid air above Arkngthad doing battle with a conjurer and his skeleton, just hovering in mid air. After I defeated him I made my merry way onto the ground and into Arkngthad.
It's really easy now that I'm level 13 or so. It's why I waited to do the Blades quests. Well I took easy care of the bad guys and I remember very well where to box is, after spending minutes upon minutes previous years ago looking for it.
I used Alsmivi Intervention to teleport to the Balmora temple, to avoid having to deal with potential invisible wall problems again. Now I'm off to sell all these dwemer coins in my pocket!
A note: Honestly I really like how Skyrim mixed up the Dwemer. The feel of Dwemer cities in Skyrim is just awesome. However I could not compare the two. Dwemer cities in Morrowind, if run on skyrim engine and of course had the time and money to go into some more detail, Morrowind Dwemer cities could have potential to rival Skyrim, but if you were just to plainly compare the two anyone would choose the Skyrim Dwemer.
Peace yo, Bojo
PS: I found a Dwarven Spear and got super excited! But then I compared the stats to my Silver Spear and it was worse. Damn it!
Silver spear may hit harder, but look at the durability.
Silver weapons degrade REALLY fast. If you want decent lifespan, keep the dwemer.
I'm still ironing out the kinks of the modding I've done. I'll update my diary later.

Completely remove the visual cloak, instead think of it as an active equipment you need to have on in order for your skill bonus to work. Then think about my proposal. Stop thinking the cloak is there just to provide visual camo, It's much more than that. The visual cloak is just a "bonus feature"
I would wear cloak if it dropped by profile to 15. Who gives a **** that it makes me blue.
To me: The cloak is a active dampener.
If I stand still, I'm hard to see. I don't trust it to cover me when running. I just go the long way around.
Back to pre-1.7, where we succeeded by flanking and not being seen rather than cloaking. I like it this way.
However, I still want a few changes to the cloak.
I want the cloak to make me flat out INVISIBLE. Then throw on a lengthy cloak and de-cloak time. Make it a tool for insertion and retreat, but not rapidly. Once you are behind enemy lines, you should stay hidden by using scans to AVOID targets, not by using the cloak.
That's just me though.

Okay, my two favorite suits in Charlie so far.
My PRO Min Assault
My PRO Min Scout
I love it. Running around at 9.35 m/s while being invisible to all but focused scans, dealing MASSIVE damage with SMG and Nova Knives (My Signature fit from pre 1.7) and laughing as I take people down with less than 300 total HP.
I'm a Fragile Speedster that hits far above his weight class and I LOVE IT.
That SMG tears through people 511 base DPS. 30 Damage a bullet. 2455 damage per clip. Enough for any heavy.
If I put a Cala's on it? 581 base DPS and deals 35 damage a bullet. DPS vs. Armor is 640.

I'm okay with this. For crying out loud, I only have 280 something HP.
That means it costs a total of 149 CPU and 18 PG (Which also costs 2 Low slots and an Equip) to Dodge scans.
That's just about 1/4th of all Scout suits CPU and PG (Roughly). Not a bad price to pay. Not enough to gimp the suit, but not so little as to let us fit willy nilly. Especially since armor is the worst offender of Brick Tanking, and both scouts only have 2 slots to tank. If they go full armor, they also lack regen.

Proto Sentinel + Proto Burst HMG ... in a Death Taxi. He was cleanin' up. It was funny. Anyhow, tried to sneak up on his car after he'd hopped out ... you know, leave a present for him on the seat. Got caught me in the act, REs in hand. BAM! Lights out. Faster than I could say f*ck. Anyone else get tagged by one of these things yet? Yeah anything that can kill a sentinel in 3 shots from 25 meters away is something i stay very far away from hahaha... But TBH i haven't found anyone running em yet They were OP before this patch IMHO, now they just seem ridiculous if you have quarter decent aim Been using a Burst on my Min Sentinel. It's great. I speed tank and shield tank my sentinel so that it can tank ScR users (Min gets resist vs. Laser on their shields, and I have plenty of armor too. Amarr find it hard to kill the Sentinel with Lasers). The Burst just SHREDS people. Hmm...i may or may not skill up HMGs for my MLT minnie heavy....when does it get two low slots? adv or proto?
ADV Min Sentinel is 2/2
More than enough. I run 1x Complex Shield, 1x ADV Recharge, 1x Regulator, and then an enhanced speed.
I typically don't go into armor too much, and I have logi's to top me off when I need to. Shields are main tank, but with 500 some odd armor in reserve

I love the math behind this game.
Here is my argument as to why Gal Heavies are better at regen than Amarr, even with less low slots.
I was actually surprised. Over time, my Gal heavy has 6 hp/s more regen overall over time. This means that he regens 360 more health every minute. That's actually pretty significant for a heavy.

If you really want to get into some good psychology that is well written, not to dry, and very informative, I would read "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahnemen. It is fantastic and really sheds a light on the way we think, and why. I also recommend Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. I really like anything he writes, but that is just me.
Just finished reading "Spy the Lie" which was co-written by Philip Houston, Michael Floyd, and Susan Carnicero (Former CIA Officers)
An excellent book on how to detect deceit, and how to learn the right questions to ask when trying to find the truth.
For Example: If you think that someone has stolen some money from your house, you don't go up and ask them "Hey, what did you do with my money?"
You phrase it as a question with implied meaning. "Is there any reason why so-and-so would say that they saw you in my house last week?"
There's more detail than that, but it has a really cool system and methodolgy on guiding conversations in the right direction. It's interrogation without them knowing about it. Since they don't feel threatened, they are more open to the procedure.
Picked it up at Barnes and Nobels for like $10. Worth the read.

That book has been on my reading list for awhile. I am glad to hear it was worth it.
It is!
It teaches you the system, and gives several court examples showing how they work. You start to see how using this method gives little red flags that they might be lying. Once you start seeing two or three, it's like a klaxon goes off in your head. It screams "Deceit".
It also uses the OJ Simpson case to show how asking the wrong questions can be downright detrimental to the process. They also give you the Jerry Sandusky case and Congressman Anthony Weiners case to close the book. They just say "Read this and come to a conclusion." Afterwards, they go and show you their own report. It's scary how effective it is. You read this and all these red flags go up, and you notice where the investigator asks the wrong questions. You think about how you would handle it.
It's a great book. It's really cool being able to watch interrogations/examinations on the news and to pick up on what they're doing and notice deceit when it happens.
The book also stresses that it's not fool-proof. It really goes out of it's way to tell you that nothing in this book will amount to "Seeing x and saying "That's it, cuff him, we've got this bagged". " It's made to detect deceit and to guide conversations into the path that has the best chance of revealing the truth.
It's great, you really should read it.

Ethically that study was over the border at the time and that is why he pulled the plug part way through. It would defiantly not fly now. So many of the so called solid findings are not attainable now, because of ethical limits. (note I am not saying this limits are good or bad) Ethical trends have also played a large part in moving social sciences towards statistical basis, which I agree is easily manipulated. Sad that manipulations like that happen, but it is not always intentional. In the end Social Sciences remain loosely sciences in part because the social aspect is mutable and do not lend themselves to "hard science" which in turn has trouble working in a mutable environment where variables are to numerous to control.

I can't trick to save my life.
The only cool thing I ever did was unintentional.
I was skating down campus after class and wanted to slow down by using my foot (lightly scraping the ground to slow down). Anyways, foot goes down too hard, board stops and I go flying forward.
I somehow manage to do a full front flip and land on my feet.
Nobody saw.

Cause I knifed one to death when it crashed at Gal Research facility. Pilot got out on bravo bridge. Start slashing and am surprised to see the +90's for damage lol.
Then an idiot redberry gets in. I kill him. Since dropships take a second to explode when it hits zero, I just run back after it hits zero.
I don't think it counts though. I only got a kill because of an idiot. Also: I can't prove it. You'll have to take my word for it.

No. If you have a Commando suit, the Swarm Launcher just becomes a Sidearm. Essentially it's like the Flaylock of yore. It destabilizes them and if they're really bad they'll run away but if they're competent or determined they'll stick around and still kill you.
Here's what I'm running.
Commando M-1 Series
2x Complex Light Damage mods
ADV Swarm.
I've actually killed a fair deal of pilots. Not any that are gunning to kill me, but I definitely deal enough damage to send a clear message.
Maybe it's just me (or them).

Cass Caul wrote:@ Ghost. I really don't understand what this "ScR OP" **** is about.
It's not OP. By itself. Modded controllers are giving it far too low of a TTK.
It's also very easily spammed on Amarr Assaults.
Outside of those two, it functions perfectly. I put an ScR on one of my suits, and It felt strong, but you couldn't spam it. Overheat was a noticeable problem when trying to engage more than 2-3 enemies in succession.
I presented a fix that brings down the spamming ability, while also bringing the TTK in line with the other Proto Weapons.
My fix encourages placing the shots in accurate bursts, rather than trying to fire off as many shots as possible, in an effort to drop the target before overheat kicks in (and to keep TTK as low as possible)

LeGoose wrote:@Ghost Started to skill into the min assault. Any recommendations for fits and general play style?
Think Fast. Shields, Kincats, Regulators, and an armor repairer. You have good enough base armor to let you run base with repair. This means that you can still go into armor and have a bit of health left. By the time you're gone, shields are regening and armor is going to self repair to top itself off. If you want to, switch for a Reactive or Ferroscale
I have two Minmatar Assault Fits. One is armor tanked, the other is Shield Tanked
Shield Min Assault - 395 shields, 35 HP/s Shield Recharge, 4.35 / 6.64 delay and depleted - 275 Armor, 6.25 HP/s Armor repair. - 8.45 m/s sprint and 50 stamina a second
Armor Min Assault - 322 Shields. Excellent buffer for an armor based suit - 352 Armor. 12.5 Hp/s Armor repair. This thing is still great at hit and run. - 7.48 m/s Sprint. Such high base speed means you can tank armor and still be fast. This thing hits hard, moves fast, and regens on the go.
Anyways, these are my two "Go-To" Min Assaults

I too have been having trouble logging into PSN today...they're probably just trying to make us go outside.
I'm playing Katawa Shoujo anyways.

Understatement. This is a freaking emotional ROLLER COASTER.

F/SN was totally worth the 60 hours it took to 100% Tuskihime is dated (2000 I think), but has an excellent story.
Steins;Gate is Steins gate. Simply amazing.

Yay two shouts for the Barber Shop - nice one Ghostie! :) >> the minmatar scout is no longer horrendously underpowered :( http://imgur.com/OeEaLMy,fIninjO#0http://imgur.com/OeEaLMy,fIninjO#1Gal has a light weapon plus side, *both* at proto, and can fit some equipment Min has two side-arms, one proto, one ADV, and no room for squat all else :( Don't know what they look like at standard and advanced, but that for me is still a massive issue. Admittedly I think the minnie needs to be going out with some EWAR, which reduces the problem somewhat as EWAR is CPU heavy, but it should be able to do better than this shouldn't it? Bolt Pistol Great for scouts using a close range main. I skilled all the way into it because it has the longest range of all side-arms and complements shotgun shield damage with armour damage. That said, interestingly enough I don't use it any more coz I think I will forever be in love with the scrambler pistol LOL. That and most of my engagements are close range and the Bolt really isn't any good up close and personal. Logis Touching on the logi debate, Cross if you read this, I will again mention my wildcard idea (#3 below) of situational damage resists for logis seeing as I did apparently understand some of the problem context originally when you asked :) Logis 1. area denial 2. area shielding (new mechanic / item(s)) 3. squad-based damage resists (assaults + heavies in squad *and* in proximity grant resistance bonus) 4. mobile CRU abilities (this sounds very interesting)
Minmatar Scout can perform in PC now. It's a huge step up. I actually think it's one of the best scout suits for outside point assault now.
Since it has a great base hack speed, it's fantastic for taking points. I can be damped and hack a point in very little time. I have a suit made that places links outside of the point, cloaks up, and then slowly moves up. I wait until I see my chance, and then sprint up to the objective and hack it.
Once the hack is off, they are on the defense. It takes so long to counter hack, that it doesn't matter if I get killed. I can spawn back in and kill them on the re-hack. It's great for forcing people to pull people back to defend objectives.
However, it doesn't compare to the Gal scout for City Assault. Gal scout still has more armor and staying power. It's by no means as powerful a suit as the Gal Scout, but it is viable in PC again, which is a HUGE step up.

Great commentary & feedback on biomassed. 10/10 :-) Disagree with one major point: Minmatar Commando does not give a significant enough bonus to swarm launchers to make it a better choice. You get an extra 18.04% from 3 damage mods or 24.3% from 2 damage mods and a Minmatar commando bonus. As an Alpha Strike Damage weapon with only 3 shots in the clip the difference in damage isn't enough to change the number of shots to kill. The Bolt Pistol has a faster rate of fire and higher damage than the Breach Scrambler Pistol. Ghost speaks of making the Bolt Pistol OP. Only really terrible aspect of it is 6 shots per clip.Really showing ignorance about the sidearms. "I don't use it but..." is not a line you should speak, that's basically a warning to yourself to hold your tongue on the topic. Ghost only sounds accurate because he's got IWS his opposite who is just an embarrassment to humanity. Leither wrote:I know you guys were saying something about Uplinks but can't talk about them Sad to see Leither take that stance. Iron Wolf Saber thought he had a good idea, and spoke to other CPM1 members, and they decided they should talk about it to CCP before talking about it with the players. . . the hallmark of being representatives right there.
I don't think the bolt pistol would be OP made magnum style. Space Magnum style makes it a skill shot weapon. At 6 shots (148 damage a shot) this gives it 888 damage a clip. This is enough to kill a target and wound another. Couple this with the lengthy reload (2.7s is a LONG time in CQC) and I think it balances quite well.
Remember what I said about sidearms? I believe that they should be just as deadly as primaries, but lack the ability to deal with multiple targets. They are "Last Resort" weapons. They can also fill a niche that the primary doesn't, which is once again, incentive to make them just as deadly in 1v1's but lack the ability to engage multiple targets.
As for Ignorance: I'm not ignorant in any sidearm. I have every single one to ADV at least, and have used them all at some point or another. I simply gave my observations about how I thought they could be improved. Once again, I NEVER say that "No this is right, I'm right and you're wrong". I didn't go on there to turn it into my personal soapbox. I simply go up and give my opinion on the matter.
As for the Minmando: Have you ever used the Minmando Appia? I know it doesn't look like much on paper, but I notice a big difference in the field. I much rather prefer my Minmando over my MinAssault for AV. Even with the mobility of the Assault.
Also, give me some credit. I really don't appreciate you saying that "I only sound smart because IWS is an idiot". Really makes you come off the wrong way, if you catch my drift
Why don't you get on Biomassed Appia? Pokey was mentioning that it was odd that none of the CPM candidates came back to talk after elections....

Dude. If CCP gave into the AV swarm, you wouldn't HAVE to worry about Jihads. Eveyone would be swarming or forge gunning you. Jihads are proof that there exists a PROBLEM in AV because they have to use it to kill tanks.
Not only that, but they might be trying so hard to kill you because of the MASSIVE THREAT a good tank generates.

On the bright side: Have some input from the tanker side
Last three matches
10-0 14-0 0-0 (1500WP)
Current Fit: State Gunnlogi 1x Basic Heavy Shield Extender 1x Basic Shield Hardener 1x Basic Shield Booster
1x Basic Large Missile Turret 2x Small Rail Turret
1x CPU Booster 1x PG Booster (This is a tight fit)
I don't die often, but then again, I play VERY carefully. If I even get a single swarm shot at me, I'm gone. If I get hit by three or more swarms, I have to module to survive another shot or two, so I often just don't let it get to that point. Since all AV is explosive based, I tend to just tank the shots till I get out of range, using the shield booster if I get too low. The hardener is saved for taking on tanks that survive the first volley, or for when things get REALLY hairy.
My tank mainly ambushes LAV's and Other Tanks, but can also suppress infantry at range with my gunners or by "Sniping" with my Missile turret (I have gotten several kills from over 200m with the turret. You just tap shot it and get direct hits for over 400 damage)
This thing doesn't make infantry run for the hills, but it's great at removing other vehicles from the field, giving way for Blaster Tanks or LAV's and Dropships. It also acts as a turret platform, as I run two Rail Turrets on it. I can suppress infantry at range with gunners (Which I've actually had in my tank a few times. Most are surprisingly faithful in the tank, staying inside and targeting infantry and vehicles when they see them)
STRENGTHS: If played right, it's hard to kill. I'm not going to be tanking HUGE amounts of damage, but I can survive small bursts of combat practically forever (Shield tank working as intended IMO)
The gun turrets are great. I would love to see tanks made this way. Make the main Turret terrible for anti-infantry, but make the small turrets great against Infantry and decent against LAV's. This encourages teamwork with a gunner to make a tank a true infantry support unit.
WEAKNESSES: Poor anti-infantry capabilities. You gotta be at range, as missiles are terrible point blank. This is a fantastic anti-vehicle fit though. You pop almost everything in the game that doesn't have a hardener going in one volley.
Top Speed. So many Madrugers have escaped due to their nitro boosters. They tank the volley with hardeners and then GTFO to their redline. Personally, I'm fine with that. I play this tank opportunistically, rather than a straight up "Slayer" tank per se.
I'll field any more questions if you have any. Learning more about this every day.

That's the suit a PRO Cal Scout with a PRO Shotgun got the drop on me, shooting me in the back. I quickly turned around, just in time to see the second shot hit me, then I opened fire on them and killed them. 254 shields 756 armor. 1060 eHP vs
Ok, so played some PC matches for my corp. Ugh. Cargo Hub, lost all three matches. Only one in my corp to go positive in all three matches. Got to roflstomp DJINN Rampage. A preternatural ability to find him and kill him.
Lol, so after battle I squad'ed up with him and the guys I just fought. They pulled me into a PC, got to try it out. Ended in the 3rd position on the killboard. Forgot how much fun a PC battle could be when you have people that actually know what they're doing.
Then I swapped out the rifle on the Gal-Ass for a shotgun. Lol, the stealth-shotgun doesn't work anymore. It's like what happened with the Cal-Scout every time. 2 shots, then dead. On the other hand. Being a big, obvious, glowing target for a Scout shotgunner, then because i'm not an idiot I know when they're sneaking up on me, I blast them in the face. Currently contemplating whether I should get Amar or minmatar assault. I already have proto scrambler and combat rifles. Btw what corp are you in?

Learning to fly Missile ADS for FA.
1.) Holy crap pythons are expensive
2.) These things are fragile as hell at low skill levels. 3 swarms and I'm gone. Rails have me clinging to life and forges have me sitting at the skybox.
3.) Everyone hates dropships. I've had people in LAV's chasing me around with swarms for several rounds. Where are these guys when ACTUAL pilots are flying!?!
4.) Kills so far: Around 15 over 10 matches. I have also already managed to barrel roll across the ground and roadkill someone already.
5.) F*CK REDLINE RAILS
I got around 90 more of these to crash. Gonna be a fun week.

CCP Rattati wrote:Greetings
read a few pages back, last time I looked in it was at the 1000 page mark...
I see you are discussing a few things that I can clarify
Cloak is not going away, we will keep trying to patch it up with further testing. I would rather not remove content.
Shotguns, lack of progression is one thing, it seems militia SG's are almost as useful as proto. Second, it's the lack of awareness, I don't know about you guys but the 3rd person sound from a shotgun is a whispery "thip, thip", to me. It doesnt sound anything like the "BLAOING" 1st person sound. It's basically "was that a shotgun, yes, it was, respawn"
I know I get killed by SG scouts all the time, but it's usually carelessness rather than OP, I'm just running over open empty space from a spawn point to the next red dot and there is a lurker who is doing nothing but camping people like me between spawn and the action. I usually don't survive two in a medium.
This is of course all pub, I can't speak to PC viability.
And to my last point on the SG, the data I'm referring to is not just FOTM, look how many people are using it. I am studying Kill/Spawn ratios and it is well above the other light weapons, right up there with Scrambler Rifle. Dividing by spawn removes FOTM aspect, it's just I get more kills on average for SG than AR f.ex.
Anything else I can clarify? Any insights/requests on the Charlie meta and balance?
Delta threads are hitting the forums imminently as well.
Thanks for checking back!
Shotguns aren't OP, but they only perform well against Med Frames and Scouts. They can 1-2HK anything short of a heavy. Heavies REQUIRE 3-4 shots to kill. Most of the time, they can quickly turn and kill you before that final shot. Even worse if they have rep.
Sound could use some improvement. Most of us have ears tuned in for it though, but for newbro's it must be quite a surprise.
Not surprised about the SG kill data. It is used to STOMP pubs hard due to all the blueberries in MLT frames (Which can all be OHK). I doubt that it would carry over to PC. Right now, the deadliest things in PC are small missile turrets, Burst HMG's and Combat Rifles (With shotguns coming in a behind them.)
As for fixing the cloak?
I honestly think that the best way to fix it is to simply make it impossible to use as a "Sneak Attack" weapon.
For example, give it a very long cloaking and de-cloak time. Like 2-3 seconds. Which you can't "Switch out of". You have to click the button to turn it off.
However, to balance it, you give it no shimmer. It makes you almost totally invisible.
This will turn the cloak into an Insertion and Removal tool. Used to sneak in and around, not to sneak right up on top of someone and unleash doom into their back.
You would cloak to get in, and then use flanking and dampening to maneuver around targets (combined with eWAR modules).
You get what I'm saying? I'm more than happy to reply with clarification.

read a few pages back, last time I looked in it was at the 1000 page mark...
I see you are discussing a few things that I can clarify
Cloak is not going away, we will keep trying to patch it up with further testing. I would rather not remove content.
Shotguns, lack of progression is one thing, it seems militia SG's are almost as useful as proto. Second, it's the lack of awareness, I don't know about you guys but the 3rd person sound from a shotgun is a whispery "thip, thip", to me. It doesnt sound anything like the "BLAOING" 1st person sound. It's basically "was that a shotgun, yes, it was, respawn"
I know I get killed by SG scouts all the time, but it's usually carelessness rather than OP, I'm just running over open empty space from a spawn point to the next red dot and there is a lurker who is doing nothing but camping people like me between spawn and the action. I usually don't survive two in a medium.
This is of course all pub, I can't speak to PC viability.
And to my last point on the SG, the data I'm referring to is not just FOTM, look how many people are using it. I am studying Kill/Spawn ratios and it is well above the other light weapons, right up there with Scrambler Rifle. Dividing by spawn removes FOTM aspect, it's just I get more kills on average for SG than AR f.ex.
Anything else I can clarify? Any insights/requests on the Charlie meta and balance?
Delta threads are hitting the forums imminently as well. Thanks for checking back! Shotguns aren't OP, but they only perform well against Med Frames and Scouts. They can 1-2HK anything short of a heavy. Heavies REQUIRE 3-4 shots to kill. Most of the time, they can quickly turn and kill you before that final shot. Even worse if they have rep. Sound could use some improvement. Most of us have ears tuned in for it though, but for newbro's it must be quite a surprise. Not surprised about the SG kill data. It is used to STOMP pubs hard due to all the blueberries in MLT frames (Which can all be OHK). I doubt that it would carry over to PC. Right now, the deadliest things in PC are small missile turrets, Burst HMG's and Combat Rifles (With shotguns coming in a behind them.)
As for fixing the cloak? I honestly think that the best way to fix it is to simply make it impossible to use as a "Sneak Attack" weapon. For example, give it a very long cloaking and de-cloak time. Like 2-3 seconds. Which you can't "Switch out of". You have to click the button to turn it off. However, to balance it, you give it no shimmer. It makes you almost totally invisible. This will turn the cloak into an Insertion and Removal tool. Used to sneak in and around, not to sneak right up on top of someone and unleash doom into their back. You would cloak to get in, and then use flanking and dampening to maneuver around targets (combined with eWAR modules). You get what I'm saying? I'm more than happy to reply with clarification. Only problem I would have with less shimmer is now that ALL scouts can achieve 14db with cloak ther is no counter to double invisible scouts. less shimmer for less dampening bonus the cloak has to have a counter and scouts already have no counter to profile because even though many don't choose to 14db is possible while cloaked.
Balanced, since they no longer have combat capabilites while cloaked.
They have to de-cloak, and it takes several seconds and they can't switch out. It would be used more for recon and insertion rather than a tool for "LOL DE-CLOAK HIT AND RUN"

Also: Interesting take on the cloak.
I was chatting with a friend, and he had an idea.
He was fine with my cloak idea, but he didn't like the idea of someone gaining the "Perfect escape tool" while still benefiting from passive scans.
Interesting idea. You are either visible and scanning, or invisible and blind. Can't have both.
Thoughts?

That is way too punitive. And can you expound? "can't switch out of" sounds a lot like you can't control your toon, and this game has enough of that inadvertently.
You just can't do anything during cloak/decloak
You can't switch out of the animation. You have to press a button to de-activate cloak.

Interesting idea. You are either visible and scanning, or invisible and blind. Can't have both.
Thoughts? Being that I would be more worried of someone seeing me shimering away in my escape I would say no. less visibility is no way to fix when we can already achieve being invisible to tac-net, aim assist, and cheveron tracking with near invisibility when not moving from all but those smart enough to sweep weapon side to side looking for reticle to turn orange. I am on the side the cloak works too good now. if you want full invisibility then make the trade of dampening. You should not have both. We nearly have both now.
This assumes that cloak grants full invisibility, having no shimmer while escaping. I want a version that sacrifices all offensive powers (eWAR and Shooting) but gives you full invisibility and dampening.
The trade-off is battery (of course) and the inability to quickly switch between the two.

Judge also made a youtube video "illustrating" how swarms that seem to explode into thin air and not ever hit the ADS they're chasing really are hitting. I've flown dropships away from swarms and taken no damage. I've fired swarms, watched them chase the dropship and explode 100m behind the vehicle, switched to my sniper rifle and seen through the scope/target intel that no, in fact, no damage was taken. All the fancy flying and slowing down just long enough to let one or two of the missiles catch up to him once he was well out of harm's way and could eat a volley made for good theatrics, but doesn't change the fact that either swarms need a buff (missile speed) or ADS need a nerf. Instead, through his cult of personality/leetness/whatever, he managed to lobby for a Python buff AND get himself elected to the CPM. gg Judge. But you're full of ****.
Okay, for those who don't know, I'm learning to fly. It's going well now, last two days SUCKED. I'm managing to get the feel of flying down and also learning how to respond to various threats.
Have a Dropships perspective on AV.
Forges: Stay Away. Don't even bother. It takes so many missiles to kill them they aren't worth your time. Forges create a definite "No Fly Zone". You get hit by one, you turn on afterburner and GTFO.
Swarms: Annoying. Kill them if there is only 1. More than one? GTFO. On my ADS (Python with ~3000 shields and Afterburner) I can safely take a single clip of swarms. After that, I'm either into armor or REALLY LOW on shields (Depends on the suit. Commando's routinely put me into armor and earn the Stay Away tactic). Once again, best defense is to afterburn and GTFO.
Rail Tanks: It depends. Rail's in the redline make a no-fly zone in 300m of where they are. I can't kill them, and most can 2-3 shot me. So I just stay away. If they are on the field, I fly just above them and harass with missiles. The main goal is to weaken and distract them for other tanks to eliminate, or to push them into the redline.
Blaster Tanks: Same practice really, except you have to be more careful. Blasters are far more effective against my DS.
Plasma Cannon: Kill em. Reload time takes too long, and with good circle strafing you are pretty hard to hit. I've been driven off by good shots though.
Okay, so you might get a feel of how the ADS is now. It really is an opportunistic killer. Think "Sky Shark" and you have the right idea. I kill what I can and run from what can hurt me. Strong AV nets will make me completely useless. Really. 2 Swarms and 1 Forge can make my life living hell. Especially if they are determined.
Those matches where you see ADS dominate? I've found out why. It really is a team effort. I have performed best in an ADS with a Tank on the ground, A squad mate running AV and everyone else slaying. Tank keeps away strong vehicle threats and AV allows me to fly without fear of other ADS'. Infantry can then deal with any other AV. In a team effort, the ADS can basically roam the battlefield in impunity and severely WRECK the opposition.
Personal thoughts on AV strength: They feel fine right now. Every single one of the above can be a threat and has a definite chance of killing me if I DON'T run away. Swarms always force me out if on a suit that can survive more than 2 missile shots.
Personal thoughts on dropships: They feel fine as well. They need to nerf the arfterburner though. It's a great escape tool, but it has a 10s cooldown. 7.5s with max skills. It's far too easy to quickly run away, regen, come back, and then run away again. Afterbuner needs a cooldown nerf. Badly.
Also: Please note that I am only lvl 3 shield modules and lvl. 1 missile. This all might change with better skills and turrets. Will update as I go along.
EDIT:
Side note: I completely hate the idea of "Sky Tanks". That's dumb and bad. The only dropship that should be hard to take down is a properly fit transport DS, which is more focused on occupant survival than it is on offense.
We might see transport DS more, as the base DS is getting an HP buff in delta, and they are bringing back small turret splash. Two small blasters on a DS will be VERY effective at clearing out the LZ for an infantry drop. I would love to see this in action.

Okay, I'm really excited about Delta
Read Here:
CCP Rattati wrote:Dear players
Weapons Sidearms - rebalance in a similar way as rifles were, ranges, requirements and damage, mainly through buffing and tuning existing weapon behaviour (reducing ion seize, ROF on scrambler, flaylock power and blast radius, to name a few ideas)
Add all Miltia Sidearms and Miltia HMG to Market
Snipers - We simply cannot have snipers so far away in the redzone they cannot be touched, while also being immune to countersniping. However, we also want to improve the Improved headshot damage, decreased range, improved damage. We have been studying Domination maps, and some of the farthest redline sniper spots that can camp the Objective to get a good gauge of the situation. There cannot be a risk free way of playing the game, for each role there must be a counter.
Swarms - efficiency against assault dropships needs to be improved fairly, there are a few ways (increased speed, nerf afterburners, increased lock on timers, probably not lock on range nor damage). We will buff normal dropship ehp to make up for their shortcomings.
Rifles - tweaks to Scrambler, Assault Scrambler and Assault Rifles (plasma)
Assault HMG buffed, burst HMG needs a slight tune down
Dropsuits Minmatar dropsuits - small ehp buff across the board
Turrets Small Rail ROF reduced
Large Blaster splash reduced
Small Blaster splash increased, maybe range increase
Vehicles HAV inertia increased so switching from forward to backward movement is more realistic, and reduce fuel injector boost to speed.
Shield based HAV and DS buffed ehp, Gunnlogi and Myron
Other Damage profiles - Projectiles (Combat Rifles, etc) to -15%, 15%, or -20/+20 from -5%, +10%, plus fixing turret damage profiles to match intended design
Shield Modules - 15% or so CPU reduction of Energizers, Regulators and Rechargers
Nanite Injectors - heal same amount of shields as armor, yes quite a buff
Nova Knife optimization skill added
Add new Officer Light Weapons as well as key missing FW items to the LP Store
Big ones first.
Minmatar HP buff. Yes this includes the Scout!
Flaylock and Ion Pistol buff! Nova Knive OPTIMIZATION FINALLY.
I am actually behind the CR damage profile. Maybe now it won't just devour everything, and people will stop b*tching at me using Minmatar tech.
Shield Module CPU nerf is good. I think I might create a scout made for speed and regen with less emphasis on stealth.
Missing LP items. Finally.
AFTERBURNER NERF. See above post. This is the main change that should be made, possibly with increased lock on.
The Dropship changes I mentioned. Word of warning, shield based HAV's could be very hard to take down with these changes. I don't think the Shield HAV needs an HP buff.
Hopefully the scrambler gets fixed so that it doesn't become spam city. I wonder what AR buffs they are thinking of? They seem to be in a pretty good spot to me...
Anyways, I'm excited. Anyone else?

Surviving is easy.
Protip: Afterburners They really do need a cooldown nerf. 10s is WAAAAY too short.
I lose more ADS to ramming and RDV's than anything else now. I only get killed by AV if I'm stupid enough to try and poach a kill when they have tons of AV in the area. Alpha damage is the only reliable way to take down an ADS, which is why Rail Tanks and Forges are used to that effect in PC.

How much faster is that hack than a Gallente with 2? I think the gal will hack at about 5 seconds (paging someone who knows what the base hack speed is, I think it's 10 seconds) How useful are those 2 extra seconds? And speed is about 10.00 vs 10.30. Maybe I'm thinking it over too much, but I just don't want to see the minmatar outclassed in this.
Those 2 seconds are godsend.

This is, in fact, the exact same thing happening again. However the difference this time is that instead of a role it is a single weapon.
The people that use the item are saying the same thing: The range cannot be reduced without hindering a significant number of sniping locations, that the Forge Gun is better than the Sniper Rifle 100% of the time within 300m, and that the damage has to be capable of killing someone with a headshot.
The people that don't use it are saying whatever they will reduce the number of users. They're even contradictory.
And you're over here in this magical land of whatever realm your mind exists in, one that has nothing to do with reality.
When will you learn: Your ideas are terrible.

For the TAC, more accurate during follow up shots, less recoil etc so you have to land multiple shots in quickly The charge would be something that OHKs suits under 600hp with a headshot?
Basically thinking of snipers in other games. You have the quick firing snipers and the single shot snipers.
They need to have a tac variant that deals around 100 damage and has a 10 round clip.
Give it a good headshot multiplier and make the sights settle quickly, allowing it to function as a DMR.
Would be perfect to sit back at around 100-150m and make everyone think twice about leaving cover.

Next match had much better matchmaking. And the next!
Update: About 10 matches in now. High percentage of good fights.
They fixed matchmaking?
Also, when is the million clone event? Might hop back on for SP sake

Saying that running less than 450HP is impossible is false.
I've never had more than 430, and I still manage to get kills in PC
More armor just means you win tie-breakers, such as when you shoot each other at the same time and you win because you can tank the shot.
If you rely on tanking that shot to win engagements, you REALLY need to improve your shotgun game.

Lemme help you out mollerz.
That is the legendary hand cannon, THORN, and I'm REALLY jealous right now.
That killing 500 in the crucible isn't hard. You get +2 "Points" for each kill and -1 "Point" for each death. In short, get 500 Kills with a positive K/D and you'll be fine.
Just get a good Void Shotgun and go for it.

So after a lot of playing (no MCC for me) I managed to get up to Level 23 (heading on 24), I was level 20 this morning. I've been running with all Rare (Blue) gear and managed to finally (**** that stupid Cryptarch) get my first Legendary Weapon.
An Auto-Rifle called "Doctor Nope" And later two HMGs (seriously?).
This is after so many decryptions I think I'm almost at level 8 with him now.
I've decided not to bother going with a Faction and just go all out Vanguard and use the Crucible bounties for XP (I decided this after wasting 5 bounties on Dead Orbit).
Went back to the Tower before logging out, talked to Xur or whatever his name is... I'm short of getting the exotic warlock gloves by 1 freaking coin... *facepalm*
Still, not bad for a days work. Tomorrow I'll be running the strike playlist and knocking off all the bounties. RF2 for the fire team (PS4) if you're interested in some crazy PvE challenges (recommend you're 22 or above). I tried playin gDUST today. Got in 1 match that was already in progress then spent 30 minutes trying to get into another to no avail. So I switched back to Destiny and now there's a connection issue there. Clearly the gods of videogames do not want me playing today. I got a Legendary Engram from Crucible. I was so excited. Took it to the Cryptarch and it was a warlock helm. ****. Got another Legendary Engram from crucible and it was a Rare scout rifle. Got another Legendary Engram and it was a Strange Coin. Finally picked up the Legendary Hand Cannon. Bought the Hunters' chest piece from Xur. Bumped me from 23 to 24. I'm 19 rep points away from being able to buy gear with crucible marks... and that connection error!! Vanguard is dumb. I can use Strikes to collect Vanguard Marks but only the vanguard vendor accepts them. So I feel like I'm wasting their rep when I use it for the one I'm building up. Yeah, solo'ing Strikes is so easy in Destiny. Every single map as at least 1 exploitable location in it that makes you basically invincible. Playedin Cruicible with 4 FA guys last night and Symbiotic forks. lol, Symb is my only PSN friend from that group and I saw him on and joined the fireteam. I joined an in-progress match on the other team. I got like 6 enforcer medals from that match becuase it was so one-sided. Then We all played as a single group and it was just mean. i was a bit embarrassed, of the 5 or six games I played with them, fussioncommando actually did better than me in 1 of them.
Are all the FA guys on PS3?
There is nobody on PS4 side. I have to play with all my old BF3 Clan mates.

Delta so Far:
Flaylock is still damage starved IMO, but the extra shot helps a lot.
Ion Pistol is GREAT. RoF buff was godsend, and I can charge with little fear now.
Haven't used Bolt Pistol. Heard the praises though.
Haven't used Scrambler. Heard that the Breach is downright NASTY.
I love the new projectile damage profile. I rip though armor like crazy now.
Burst HMG's are far less common.
Shield module changes and Minmatar HP changes are great.
ADS got nerfed. At least they are cheaper now. I don't think Soraya realized just how insane that afterburner nerf is. Dropships spend most of their time doing nothing as they have to wait for afterburner to recharge. This is how you kill playstyles.
Tac Sniper is fun. I see more snipers in general now. Headshot bonus is much appreciated.
Not much else. Only had time to test a few things before class.

RoF is what makes a shotgun good in PVP while range gives a little leeway towards timingin. I'm at 39 points. I'm better off just waiting till a blue void shotgun drops or I get vanguard rep up high enough. Also seriously in need of PSN friends that are willing to grind. Such bitches from DUST, they won't go out of their way to get the Queen's headshot bounties. Super simple, get a fireteam, go to rumble. 1 guy hids in a corner and the other two rush him 10 times each. Then swap weapons, then swap weapons, then rotate to the second then to the third player. Or the ******* Nightfall mission. I just want to run that before Tuesday but can't solo the servitors, and no one will join "because it's a pain." ******* FPS pansies
If you are on PS4, I'll do the nightfall with you. Been trying to find people high enough leveled to help out, but they have already done it and don't want to deal with that **** again.

Level 27, almost 28
Had to buy my first exotic (Knucklehead Radar. I wanted the Symbiote helm though. I love my Gunslinger)
Bought all my legendaries except for two, one of which I only got from getting FWC to rank 3.
Total number of legendaries received from decryption: 1
I just want my Hawkmoon people

So. I'm officially retired.
Haven't even gotten on since I've found my shiny new toy.
Popped an omega on the million clone event, played 3 matches and said "HOLY CRAP THE CORE MECHANICS" and couldn't bring myself to play more (This was back when I said that Matchmaking was good now. Remember that post? That was the last time I played Dust).
Anyways, been a fun run. I'll still pop in from time to time and probably degenerate into a war room troll (If other players "retiring but still forum active" are any indicator, that is the most likely scenario.)
o7 You bastards. HMU if you play Destiny on PS4 side, I'd be happy to frag with you guys.

Don't do it. Put damage at 1.5x the normal shotty, and just give it a 4 round clip instead.

Two words: Counter-Strafe.
You can predict where people are turning and act accordingly. My favorite is just jumping over heavies as they turn, blapping them in the back. Only idiots walk into the backs of people expecting to be fine when they turn around. I've seen enough jump-turns to know better. Counter-strafe saves lives.
I can understand why you want an insta-killing CQC weapon. It would make sense, but you need to realize the implications.
It would be FOTM. TTK is king in this game and you know it. How long before everyone goes and puts it on their scout because you no longer have to worry about Heavies?
Heavies are SUPPOSED to be tanky. What is the point of a point defense suit with no mobility OR dampening if you can still be insta-killed by stealth?
There would be no point to the suit. It's the perfect hard counter. Just like the old days with Cal Scouts and eWAR. You couldn't do a damn thing.

A few long time barbershop scouts have helped out a lot in pointing me in directions, pointing out problems, etc- thanks so far. I hope you keep it up- Especially Spademan, Jace, and Appia. LLast and One eye have been sure to make sure they stop in and try out features. It helps a lot! As you post, more and more of the forum and its features will open up to you.

I have all scouts at 5, I run a scout training corp. I really want on that board... It was a matter of request up until just shy of a year ago when the board was closed. Initially, the Scout Registry, which was what the Barbershop initially was, was a way to identify and follow those who were scouts after 1.0. Uprising was initially incredibly hard for scouts, so Shotty kept track of Kills, Deaths, and KDR to demonstrate how poorly off the class was. After six months of being ignored by those then overseeing Dust, Shotty got fed up, closed the Registry, and committed forum seppuku. That list is now there for posterity.
TL;DR
It's a memorial to those who mained a suit that was bad solely to collect data on how bad it was.

Oh I do though, after running the numbers, I realized the BIG problem is that scouts are just too damn good at scanning. Caldari scout scans 3,000,000 cubic meters @ 20 dB while cloaked/firing/whatever Amarr scout does 2.6 million @ 18 dB... Proto flux scanner with 200m range? less than 200,000 @ 21/28 dB. That is absolutely rediculous. You guys turned me on to it with your constant coincerns about "permascan". The fact of the matter is that permascan now is about 15-30 times worse than it ever was before, we just don't see the warning that we are being scanned anymore. Listen, I run an ak.0 pretty often, I KNOW how ridiculously easy it is to get all over the map (a good thing) and sneak up on people with no effort (uh....) and OHK without even a fight (horrible). I can admit that because I like every single suit. I can easily go every single match with 0-1 deaths for 14-25 kills just using a scout. That is a problem. Thats also why I don't use it all of the time, it is boring.
Stop. Stop right there.
If you are being scanned in a scout suit, you're doing it wrong. Damps and cloaks make it so that you can survive.
Hell, my Minmatar Scout NEVER goes into a fight without 2 damps and a cloak. We made scanning that way to stop brick tank scouts remember? Now you HAVE to run damps and a cloak if you don't want to be scanned.
As for the other suits? They can run damps too. They might not be able to dodge the scans of an Ak.0 with 2x precision, but then again THEY SHOULDN'T.
The MAIN problem with eWar right now is that it's binary. Detected / Invisible.
We need scan falloff. BAD. But it will never come.
Side Note: Why are you comparing a piece of equipment to a SUIT made for scanning?
One that has an 8x multiplier on it and limits your playstyle, over one that can litterally be put on any suit?
We've seen it before. If you make Handheld scanners as good (or better) than scouts, you won't see scouts (Remember the REAL perma-scan days? Every scout buy the Gal was forced out of PC). Recon is a powerful battlefield tool, and right now, scouts are the best way to get it.
Also, why are you using the flux? Go focused or go home if you want to scan scouts.
I really can't emphasize it enough man, there are HUGE gaps in your arguments. These problems range from just using the wrong tools for comparisons to just faulty meta-logic.
Please don't report me for disagreeing with you. Let's try and be civil this time.

The only real way to waste tons of SP now is to do stupid stupid things.

You could get all frames (Light Medium Heavy) to V, which is a waste. Then go and get all Specializations to II (NO FARTHER)

It works eventually, but I don't think you will ever "enjoy" running with knives until you use ishys. Spade is spot on with this "get to the top and win" meta. Lets hope they have multiple angles to gain access.....or ways without a dropship.

I see a number of people getting rid of the cloak to keep their passives. They may end up having to tank instead, and I don't think that is necessarily better.
Worse, if active scanning becomes nearly spammable again, this will do nothing to inhibit the slayer scout. I myself am thinking about throwing on a scanner instead of REs on a fit to see how that plays out.
One thing I am hopeful for is that the reduction of the sprint glitch may make a speed scout more viable. Unfortunately, I think that will favor a Gal scout who can throw on two damps, beat an Amarr scout, and throw on two Complex Kincats and some shield tank.
There are a lot of possibilities, but many are not good. Min scouts will be dead. Mark my words. That is my fear, but it can't be worse than Alpha to Charlie. True. Now we have a choice--be permascanned, or be non-viable. Oh wait, those two are the same thing. NVM.
2 damps and a cloak is all you need.
Most of my fits run that setup, and I can still run speed or hack mods.
Granted, Uber-Speed hacks will still be VERY hard to pull off, but Breakers need to move to high slots anyways.
That being said, you can still get off a 5 second hack while damped and cloaked. I'm not too worried.

Works both ways man. Expect those heavies to be shining on your screen if you are going through a high-traffic area.
For low traffic areas? You shouldn't have to worry about scans in the first place. In which case you leave cloak off, use that passive, knife in the back and hack the point.

I can see a number of different circumstances, and I really don't know what is going to play out, but if anything, active scanners will be more of the help than passive shared from friendly scouts.
Passive Scanning on a scout will be dead. Sucks, but our main strength will then be in DODGING the scans (Like back in the old days)
Remember, Active scans will still be a priority thing. Med frames will be scanning the front lines to keep track of targets. Damped scouts will dodge these scans, and sneak BEHIND their lines. Nobody really scans their own backfield, because it's a waste of resources. Scans are better spent in high traffic areas due to long cool down.
Meanwhile, your TEAM will be scanning the area ahead of you, lighting up all non-scout frames. You will use these scans to position yourself, then de-cloak and wreck havoc. While they turn around to deal with you, frontlines push up, taking advantage of a flank opportunity.

I play in pubs... Solo... With the new Mu I am always against a squad...
And I often avoid front lines to hack, which means I will need to carry my own scanner, or simply risk uncloaking and being seen.
I just hope that all thing things I can't see or predict happen to be good things. Right now none of it sounds good to me.
I honestly think that your own personal Proximity Scanner will be the best tool. Since scans will come back, less people will think of the "YOU'VE BEEN SCANNED" popping up on the screen, and should give you some room to work.
As for PC scout? I think I'll still be viable. Even if not, I'll have Proto Min Assault and Min Commando, which gives you a lot of room to work in PC.

Anyway, back to "Gallente weather the storm and Minmatar get swept away in it."
I think Ghost is really missing the point. Decloaking to use an active scanner and re-cloaking is the same as just decloaking for access to passive scans and re-cloaking.
As someone that would rather play solo than play with other people I don't have a mic or when I refuse to play with people that don't have mics, I get your point Rex.
My School of Thought is: hack first, kill second. Even though I want to play kill-first hack-second I just can't leave an undefended null cannon console alone... unless I'm not in a scout suit. The effectiveness of a Min-Scout is going down.
Looking back I completely missed that. Granted, I run ZERO eWAR on my scout. Hell, I don't even have Precision or Range to V.
I just sit back damped and carefully observe to see who is on the point. And then wait until they overextend. Hack the point and defend. Cloaking while moving is dumb because of the false sense of security (In high traffic areas), so I just have gotten used to the old style of dodging scans with damps, and using speed and cover to my advantage.
I would start bringing an active scanner to augment my horrid eWAR by letting me see what is on a point beforehand, rather than cloaking and walking up and seeing far too much for me to handle.
*Yawn*
I really need to get to sleep

I will now get an entire 5m worth of range while cloaked.
Can someone tell me how that is any better than 0, and why they didn't just remove all passive range while cloaked?
I mean at that range, I will see and hear whatever is beside me even with cloak. And it will always be too late.
This is what I get for spending money on CCP.
Got me again guys!
Didn't see anything about the range nerf on the forum post before the Dev blog.
If I would have known better, I would have just gotten Persona 4 and even ended up saving 10 dollars. We will revisit this like everything else that needs to. 5 m will at least give you the scout knifing you while you hack.
Ehhhh not really.
Knives have a 2.5m range now.
You detect at 5m
You have to turn around and shoot before he can cover 2.5m. Which he can cover in half a second IF WALKING.
You're dead. It's of no use.

But I agree. It's kind of a nerf to the cloaky hacky scouts ability to see danger coming and get away rather than the tanked light assault.
Some GD mouth breathers seem to have a problem with scouts even being able to hack, or generally do anything even if it's not combat related.
GD is a cesspool.
Everyone is so butthurt over everything.
Non-scouts want scouts nerfed to oblivion.
Heavies want shotguns nerfed to oblivion. Shotguns want HMG nerfed to oblivion.
AV and ADS is the best example. ADS sh*t all over the AV guys. Swarmers said they needed a buff or ADS nerf. ADS said they were fine. Tables are flipped. AV is sh*tting all over ADS. ADS says swarmers need nerf. AV says they are fine.
The never ending circle. Everyone wants the easiest mode of play for their role, very few actually care about BALANCE (Or even knows what it means)

Fun Fact: Zatara actually had to respec twice because he screwed up the first time.
The whole squad laughed at him.
By the way, I'm REALLY enjoying 1.9. Mainly because of all the vets that are coming back. I'm having good fights again! I'm running into EVERYONE that used to play this game it seems. Every other fight was "Dude look! This guy is back on!" And watching more and more OG FA come back.
I got my Proto Min Scout, Min Commando, and Min Assault, and couldn't be happier. $20 well spent in my opinion. Frame rate is better, maps are better designed (that spire domination in particular), and despite some bugs, I feel like this is one giant step in the right direction for DUST.

I can't remember all of the names, but you get the picture. Lots of old vets and corps are hopping back on. I've nothing but good hard fights all day today. Very few "stomps", at least at first.
FA has this bad habit of contesting the objective for a good 10-15 minutes and then pushing everyone out and not letting them back in. More than a few teams gave up after that. Only the strong came back to contest again.
Playing against a sqd of Murphy's Law, Latino Corps Killers, and Kane Spero proved to be one of the more fun matches. Came down to like 20 clones by the end.
People who were there: 8213, Jade Tech, K4thert, Kane Spero, etc. etc.
FA also had a pretty OP squad on today.
My Squad was: Ghost Kaisar Frost Kitty Skeletor Voltron Zatara Raught Derrith Eriador Iron Patriot
We pretty much wrecked.

You jumped on him for not running damps when he doesn't really have the option. . . . though Amarr Scouts were always prevelent in my games. so really the only change is that 16 people know where he is instead of 6
Thankfully due to the new SP cap, he has very little standing in the way now.
I never saw him post that he didn't have dampen V yet, and I honestly assumed that someone in Saxonmishes new corp would be PC ready.

What would you think if Legion broke down dropsuit skills by race instead of heaviness/lightness?
As it is now, if you want a Minmatar Heavy, you skill into Heavy dropsuits.
What if the skill tree were more like
Minmatar Dropsuits.
Minmatar Medium Frames unlocked at 1
Minmatar Light Frames unlocked at 3
Minmatar Heavy Frames unlocked at 5.
You could give the entire race bonuses that could fit RP purposes, and maybe make some lore and whatnot more meaningful.
Just some crazy thoughts my late at night brain is having.
Had this idea a longo time ago. I still want it. Wide bonus for Minmatar race, followed by a frame size bonus, followed by a specialization bonus.
Like for example:
Race: Sprint Speed and Stamina Regen +1% per level. Frame: Light - Movement Speed bonus +1% per level. Spec: Scout - 15% fitting reduction for cloak per level. 5% NK damage per level
Race: Sprint Speed and Stamina Regen +1% per level. Frame: Medium - Projectile weapon clip size +5% per level Sped: Assault - 5% fitting reduction to Light Weapon/Sidearm/Grenade per level. -3% shield delay and depleted per level.
So on and so forth.

Very good for heavy on heavy battles. It's like the heavy shotgun I always wanted. Back in the day I ran forge in CQC for anti heavy. Heavys did (and still do) plant their feet and fire trying to make it a game of "who has the bigger numbers".
"Yeah, you might do 1,100 DPS but I do 1,600 instantly... and you're a nice stationary target..."
It's pretty funny running a sentinel in an unpredictable way, a while back with the OP burst I wiped 2 sentinels and then the logi following them in like 7 seconds, they must have been so pissed, wondering how I did that... "Well fellas, between bursts I was letting my armor rep back and only engaging you one on one. I pop out, do a 900 damage burst and pop back having received maybe 400 damage, and since you run blindly towards me rather than taking cover your logi can't rep you in time..."
Side note: Did they go through with that change to kinetic damage profile?
Yes. Projectile is -15/+15 to shield/armor
Which is why a Min Sentinel is actually tougher than it looks. Mine runs around 680 shields with good strafe (I don't run armor).
I've solo'd Amarr heavies before without even going into armor. Even if I do, I have a nice 575 armor buffer to keep me alive while I run

The comment implied scouts only have to fit dampeners when Gal logi focussed scanners are employed. Which is far from the truth. Even if this isn't how the comment was intended, it is how it came across and was interpreted. This is just an example of the common misconceptions and misinformation prevalent on the forums when it comes to scouts. Why don't they? There's no need to fit more dampeners than you need. A single damp will take any scout under even proto scanners - it's only when Gallogis or scanner scouts come on field that you need to bother dampening more than that, and a single damp is far from crippling.

Mine was a running joke from BF3. That was our "general battle plan" because you can't lose if you do it
In all reality: Do what's closest. If you're at the middle one and its safe to take (Empty or 1-2 people) Take it and hold it for as long as you can.
Hopefully, enemies will be pulled from the contested one and converge on your point. If they don't you get a free point. It's a win-win IF you can take the point (Since if they pull people back, your team should be able to take the contested point. At the end, it's 2-1 in your favor. You also stall them on MCC damage, since after it flips, you will still be doing damage until they hack it back)
This is why scouts have some of the toughest jobs in PC. You WILL be told to solo an objective if things get hairy. I earned my place on PC teams by being very good at soloing enemy homepoint, even in 1v2's.
The only thing that would force me off is one guy who literally sits and watches the point and one guy floating. If I see that, I lay down a link on the outside and request assistance.

They're glitched. You can work around and make them custom fits.
Last I heard, there was a few guys running around in Amarr FW with fully tanked Amarr Assaults with cloaks.
Yeah. That'll be fixed by downtime. Gamebreaking.
Also: To those saying the suits are P2W
Realize this: Those fits might as well not be proto. Since they have only basic modules, they are a waste of a proto suit. I can literally fit an ADV suit better by using a mix of enhanced and complex mods.
They do however, look badass and are decent fits for free. I will be acquiring many for playing around in FW, and because I have the LP and ISK to spend. They will really help out new players who grind out FW, as they can run FW fits for free, and use all the LP to get some cheap proto.
THAT is where the real money in those suits are. You can easily grind FW and gain easy proto gear to use in PC or pubs.

Vitantur Nothus wrote:@ Ghost Kaiser
I like how you're thinking but we must maintain the Scout's capacity for backstabs and shenanigans. Fun demands it, and game with Dust's depth deserves it. And if not us the stealthy killer, then who? A dampened Assault with 2x to 3x our HP?
I'm guessing you read my huge freaking post in the eWAR discussion?
As I said, it's not perfect. I typed it up in like 30 minutes after having those thoughts.
I tried to make sure that scouts had a combat role, and that is was mostly in taking advantage of better dampening or precision (Either offensively or defensively). I'm not sure about how the numbers would work but I share the same sentiment.
When it comes to backstabbing and shenanigans, scouts should still be the go-to choice across the board. That doesn't mean assaults can't do, they just can't do it BETTER (i.e. they would easily be detected by a well fit scout, and the assault would still be in the dark).
Think of it like this:
Damped Med Frames hunt undamped med frames.
Precision Med Frames hunt damped med frames
Precision and Damped Med frames hunt undamped scouts
Precision scouts hunt damped med frames
so on and so forth. Get the picture?
This being said, we need to make it so that you can't stack eWAR and survive ability. Right now, it's the scouts eWAR on TOP of their ability to have large amounts of health that make them so powerful. If you limit HP, you can limit their ability to engage groups of targets easily.
For example: with a 343 shield Min Scout, I have no problems taking a 2v1
Put me in a 270 or 198 shield suit and you have a totally different ball game. At 198 I would limit myself to only ever fighting 1v1 from a sneak attack. You don't have the health to survive an extended fight.

I would never do that. All I want is a role that is tangible for scouts, and that role is maintaining eWAR superiority and preying on those who stray too far from the pack.
Scouts are like snipers in that regard. We punish those who make stupid mistakes.
Don't damp and head off on your own? Kiss your sorry ass goodbye.

Do you think that, assuming it were possible, having a tie in EWAR go to the dampened instead of the one with precision would create more flexibility with regards to EWAR mechanics?
There is no "tie" in current eWar.
You are scanned or unscanned. 0 or 1. Binary.
EDIT:
Wait, are you saying that the tie goes to the damped instead of the scanner?
In which case I support that. Would type more, but my hands are really cold and typing is hard. Just took the dog out for a walk.

Dude - this is how scouts should be. Werd - there should be EWAR superiority but you should need to fit (and sacrifice!) for it. Man, the apex suits... I can fit a lot of ADV and proto on my dragonfly gal scout still... (using pistols helps and EWAR helps!). Why would I waste that hard earned ISK on such stuff? I'd rather have a bonafide ADV BPO than a watered down proto BPO that I can't modify. Or even a STD BPO with ADV fitting headroom on CPU/PG, but STD slots.....
All I've ever wanted is Matt-Senpai's approval

He's trying to split the eWAR trifecta is what is seems like.
The trifecta is Damp-Range-Precision as we all know.
Right now, scouts are the BEST at all of the above. This causes eWAR disparity (which some argue it rightfully should)
What he's trying to get at is removing an aspect and having it shine elsewhere. I don't support EXACTLY what he is saying, but I can get behind parts of it.
For example: If it was me.
Scouts would dominate the damp side of the spectrum. This gives them dampening they need to avoid the other two suits, but they now have to sacrifice slots to gain better passive eWAR. They are still the best suited for overall eWAR however. Since they damp, they don't need HP. They use these slots for eWAR instead.
Assaults would dominate the range side of the spectrum. This gives them long range, low fidelity scans, letting them pick up Commando's and Heavies easily. They can buff out precision, but that requires giving up tank. Armor tankers could potentially take advantage of their highs, but they won't get much benefit from it, AND they lose damage mods.
Logi's would dominate the precision side of the spectrum. This gives the heavies and commando's a bit of warning when a damped assault comes to kill them (or something). They can buff out range, but they lose a LOT of tank for it (All logi's are armor tankers. PERIOD. Even the Cal is an armor tank with shield buffer)
Get my drift?
Note: I would still ensure that scouts can dodge all passive scans if properly damped, and that Focused Scanners retain the ability to scan damped scouts.

I've gotta say I don't like this one bit. I'm in favor of buffing MedFrame EWAR, but I can think of no reason to nerf Scout EWAR. I can think of lots of reasons not to. For starters, it'll leave us lopsided as a class. MN and GA might walk away largely unaffected, but what comes of AM and CA?
Their prescribed strengths are high-intensity/low-range scans and low-intensity/high-range scans. If we remove their scan strengths, what are they supposed to be the best at? Remember ... no HP tank!
Hence why I want the "Spy Uplinks" to be Scout exclusive.
If they want to remove our passive bonuses to eWAR, then they need to give us a piece of equipment to supplement recon. WE NEED A ROLE
Think of them as motion detectors that you can plop down, that have different strengths for the different scouts.
Minmatar would be high precision low range and hard to detect (Makes a small area a "Hunting Ground")
Caldari would be high precision high range and easy to detect (Any logi with a scanner would pick up its location easily)
Amarr would be an all around detector, with decent range, precision, and requires a scout or proto scan to pick it up.
Gallente would be a low precision, high range and hard to detect motion mine (Surveys a large area, hard to remove. Great for infiltrators)
Basic version is a single use. Advanced is a single use with one in reserve. Proto lets you plop down two and have one in reserve. They also get stats buffs and damp buffs as they go up, reaching the above examples at proto. SCOUT ONLY. This prevents Logi's from spamming this too and creating the permascan again.
I would also require that there should be a set amount per team, and that once that limit is reached, new ones replace the old.

And stuff like this is why I am ashamed at times to say that I frequent this thread.
You know how many people tell me "The Barbershop thread is cancer"? And it's because of things like this.
The only thing I can tell them in reply is "Hey, the thread is an excellent source of eWAR data."
Stop arguing over the little things and misquoting for giggles. Instead, try to WORK with the CPMS to get what you want. Don't sugarcoat anything, but at the same time, be able to step back and say "Yes, that part of x is overpowered and needs to be changed for balances sake".
FFS I hate saying it, but scouts are OP as hell. There is a reason why they are spammed in PC, and that's because they are one of the most effective slaying suits in the game.
THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE
If the answer is our ability to have massive eWAR superiority gives us a completely unfair advantage then THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.
Work with them instead of against if you want to see a scout that still has a recon role and is effective.

I'm trying to find some evidence for my argument with Zatara.
IIRC, Min scouts had to run 3 complex damps and a cloak to avoid the 4x Cal scout, which pushed all scouts except Gal and Cal out of PC.
Finding maths to prove my point.
For example: The total bonus from 4x Precision is ~54.45%
Old bonus was a 25% adjustment to base
36 precision becomes 27 base
27*(0.5445) = 14.7 = 15
Min Scout with two damps puts you at a 18.49 base. Old cloak reduced that to 13.86 = 14
Which means one of two things:
A.) My math is wrong and something was different B.) I didn't have a proto cloak back then, hence my rage.
All I remember is that I refused to do PC, and nobody ran Min Scouts in Alpha-Charlie days. Even Moody ran Cal scout in PC instead. Gal scouts did a better job hacking than Min Scouts, since they didn't have to run as many damps and could run 2x codebreakers and damps.
Can anyone help me? Am I missing something?

Cass Caul wrote:Ghost, it's your math. Null and Alpha had a 25% bonus to precision for the Cal Scouts, that's
(Base)*(Skill)*(Role) = static 40*0.9*0.75= 27
(Static) * (Precision Enhancer 1) * (Precision Enhancer 2) * (Precision Enhancer 3) * ( Precision Enhancer 4) = modified
27 * 0.8 * 0.8262 * 0.8958 * 0.9434 = 14.9148 (Rounded to 15)
Minmatar Dampening is
(Base) * (Skill) * (Dampener1) * (dampener2) * (dampener3) * (Cloak) <= 14.49
35 * .9 * 0.75 * 0.7827 * 0.8574 * 0.9 = 14.268555 (Rounded down to 14)
You can subtract the last dampener, with 2 damps and a cloak you get 16.64145
Alpha's biggest change was the nerf to Profile Dampening aspect of the Cloak. . . Oh, that's what you were doing wrong, you forgot that the difference between Null and Alpha was the Cloak's dampening change
I believe I addressed that in my edit.
My maths works now. Still goes to show how alpha-bravo was hell for Min/Amarr scouts before Charlie fixed everything.
Also: I think your stacking penalties are wrong. For 4 complex precision, it goes (-20/-17.38/-11.41/-5.66) = -54.45.
27*.5445=14.7. Rounds up to 15. Same result, but still.

oh. no. wait. You're doing math wrong again. you don't add percentages, you apply them separately. It's -44.76%, not 54.45%
If you haven't noticed by now, you're looking at my thought process and not a conversation. I see something and know it's wrong so I work out the math and look for where the other person went wrong.
I said "think" for a reason.
Thanks though. I never knew that it was re-applied to the "base" each time.

What percentage of those kills were from the hip? Balanced weapons are good. Long-range weapon hipfire dominating CQC is bad. A good bit, that was the five minutes of hipfire kills out of a 20 minute video Anyway, that isn't exactly what I want it to be. I want less charge time so it can hit someone before you drop dead on the ground.
What I consider crazy in that video:
He had a dude right in front of him. He had to reload his RR, and had an SMG with a full clip as backup.
He still chose to reload the RR rather than pull out his SMG.
That's the real problem. It's so viable in CQC, that he would rather RELOAD than switch to his CQC bullet-hose sidearm.
They really need to learn how to balance mid-long range weapons.
ScR is still too viable in CQC. I've talked to a lot of friends who use this gun, the best way to fire is NOT to carefully control your shots and engage at range.
The best way to use it is to spam the living hell out of it. In CQC? SPAM SPAM SPAM. At range? SPAM. Seriously CCP, just give it the same treatment as the LR, nerf its CQC damage. Or at least give it more hipfire, I've used it and it still is too accurate from the hip, given it's 96m effective range.
In this same vein, the Combat rifle needs a tweak as well. CR has hipfire accuracy, but that's the result of it's bullpup configuration. To compensate, it NEEDS a ROF adjustment. Adjust Burst ROF to something more manageable (I liken it to the Battle Rifle from Halo) and increase the damage to compensate.
RR is the first to get this treatment. It got a LARGE hipfire penalty, which made sense given its 100m effective range. Literally, there was no difference in the kick when ADS, you just couldn't use the thing like a breach SMG on a dime. Sidearms were required, and as they SHOULD be for all Light Weapons.
Sidearms are much deadlier now, and they exist to COMPLIMENT your Light Weapon of choice, by covering up it's weaknesses or expanding on its strengths.
For example: The SMG/Flaylock and Combat rifle. CR should be effective at around 30-60m with SMG's being able to handle everything from 0-20m. That 10m deadzone is where an AR user can take advantage of you (or a Magsec).
Scrambler and ScR. ScR is made for the 40-70m range, with the ScR able to be effectively used in ~5-30m ranges (possibly farther or closer depending on skill). CR's can take advantage of that range, as well as a good AR.
See how they compliment and overlap? THIS is how it should be. Light Weapons are not weapons that should be viable at all ranges under its effective range. Sidearms are there to take care of those ranges where you weapon simply isn't effective. They trade versatility for firepower.

Really interesting reads. Papers basically confirm that there was a struggle in the car, resulting in the officer shooting Brown in the hand. Toxicology suggest that Brown was impaired at the time, due to THC levels in his blood (THC is Weed by the way). Crime Lab report says he also had weed on him at the time.
After reading through the Toxicology, Autopsies and crime scene papers, I can understand why the Grand Jury decided that there wasn't enough evidence to go through with the charges.
Link for those who want to read. Scroll to the bottom. Roughly 72 documents to read.

Basically, the same reason that a man in texas shot a prostitute and got out with no legal repercussions and the same reason that a wanna-be cop in florida pretending to be on neighborhood watch shot a black guy and got away without charges. Whatshisface didn't break any laws so there's nothing to charge him with. Regardless that what he did was wrong or not, he didn't do anything illegal. The beauty of the american legal system, there are so many different ways to get away with murder.
It's not that he didn't break any laws, its that there isn't enough evidence to suggest that he committed a crime without reasonable doubt.
He may have shot the guy in cold blood or racism or whatever, but we can't PROVE it. There isn't enough evidence for a trial (A criminal one at least. They still have the civil courts)
This can backfire obviously, as it allows people to "get away with murder", but its necessary. Without it, you could very conceivably indict someone with zero evidence, and either a.) Waste TONS of money on a trial or b.) Send someone innocent to jail with no evidence to back it up.
It's a necessary evil so to speak.

Toxicology suggest that Brown was impaired at the time, due to THC levels in his blood (THC is Weed by the way). Crime Lab report says he also had weed on him at the time. After reading through the Toxicology, Autopsies and crime scene papers, I can understand why the Grand Jury decided that there wasn't enough evidence to go through with the charges. Link for those who want to read. Scroll to the bottom. Roughly 72 documents to read. Basically, the same reason that a man in texas shot a prostitute and got out with no legal repercussions and the same reason that a wanna-be cop in florida pretending to be on neighborhood watch shot a black guy and got away without charges. Whatshisface didn't break any laws so there's nothing to charge him with. Regardless that what he did was wrong or not, he didn't do anything illegal. The beauty of the american legal system, there are so many different ways to get away with murder. It's not that he didn't break any laws, its that there isn't enough evidence to suggest that he committed a crime without reasonable doubt. This wasn't a verdict for guilt or innocence. My understanding was that they didn't need to meet that high of a threshold in terms of proof.I am not sure what that threshold is, but pretty much it was whether or not there was enough evidence for them to go to trial. Either way, it was stupid of them to know the decision by noon and wait until nightfall to release that information. Also, I think the anger is about something greater than this one case, and will continue so long as there is such a significant inherent imbalance in our justice system.
That was exactly what I was trying to say. Grand Juries are used only to see if there is even enough evidence for there to be a trial.
Not enough evidence was found. They can't do anything (In a criminal court at least. I still think that they can make a civil case). If you really hate that outcome, send a letter to your congressman detailing that you want him to support body camera's for cops (I really don't why we don't have these. We have dash cams on cop cars, why don't we have these for cops widespread as well?).
Also: Here's my problem with the situation. At least from what I've gleaned from news sources.

I don't think you understand how justice works. Justice is not what you personally believe. If they were to overturn established practices to appease the public, all it would prove is that you can put anyone in jail if you can get the majority to support it.
Remember people. This isn't a true democracy. True democracy is where anything and everything is done by majority vote. We have a democracy that focuses on Majority rule, but minority rights.
He has the right to a fair trial. If not enough evidence is present for the trial to even stand a chance, he probably isn't guilty (As far as we can prove). As I said earlier, if this REALLY ticks you off for some reason, go and get some support and get cops to wear body cams. It's been shown in several states that these types of offenses have been drastically reduced by body cams.
Instead of it turning into "Trust the cop or the civilian", it turns into "Roll the tape, lets see what happened".

Jebus McKing wrote:Question is, what is the intended role of the cloak?
The only other game that I've played for a reasonable amount of time and that also has a cloak is Team Fortress 2. In that the Spy uses a cloak to get behind enemy lines and stab them in the back or destroy their sentry nests and teleporters. His primary weapon is a knife which kills everyone in one hit if he stabs them in the back. Thing is he only has an average movement speed, his health is super low, and his pistol is rather weak. And even in that game decloaking takes one or two seconds and you have a rather loud decloaking sound.
Then there is the Scout who uses mobility to dodge enemy fire and cover enough ground to shoot people with a shotgun.
In Dust it seems you have a class that is both. It is super fast, it has a cloak, it can overcome the downsides of most instakill weapons rather easily, and can see most enemies through walls while himself stay off of it. And I can assure you in TF2 both the Scout and Spy die MUCH quicker than they do in Dust.
So, what is the role of the cloak?
Personally, I think it should be a tool to get behind enemy lines, destroy equipment, hack stuff. Not a device that can be used to decloak mid-air and shoot people in the face with a shotgun like it used to be.
That being said, I'd really like to see a cloak device variant which has no shimmer while moving, has a longer duration, but has a decloaking delay of ~5 seconds.
Been calling for this for forever. Literally.

base speed = 6 at zero mass
Scout = 100 (could substitute mass for hp) base speed 100/X = 5.2 plate = 10 1 plate = 10% speed reduction 5 plates = 50% reduction new speed = base speed * penalty
Sentinel = 500 base speed = 500/X = 4.5 plate = 10 1 plate = 2% speed reduction 5 plates = 10% reduction new speed = base speed * penalty
penalty wouldn't have to be linear
I already have some calculations and ideas without a true encumbrance model, I can share that
Can this be applied to fall damage calculations?
Apart from that, I like it. People who run scouts correctly, with eWAR and low HP will be almost totally unaffected. Only idiots who stack armor plates will get the brunt of the blow.
I would worry about that Sentinel change though. If you reduce the penalty too much, that Min Sentinel will just run Speed and Plates for lulz.
At the same time, it can't be too large, otherwise they're done for.
Interesting formula's though. Does this affect base movement speed (Which would then affect sprint speed and strafe speed?)

You would have to give Minmatar super duper hack bonuses, or superior than Gallente Dampening bonuses (the latter of which I certainly don't recommend) in order to even circumstantially give people a reason to run Minmatar over Gallente.
Otherwise, Gal Scouts could just throw on a Code Breaker (or have a fit just with Code Breakers) and they would be a good enough substitute for hacking that it would be insane to throw all that SP in a Minmatar scouts for so little marginal benefit.
Minjas have been overly d*cked over enough as it is. I haven't even gotten to what might be Minja killing EWAR changes, and you are already talking about making them more meaningless. Absolutely boggles my mind. By this same logic isn't the Cal a terrible scout? What with their oh so terrible 2 low slots. They sure don't seem to be struggling. ok caldari scouts have a broke hit box plus they are stacking shield plus they have a 15% DAMPING as their bonus plus 10% range per level. so two dampners and a proto and poof unscannable. oh btw thanks CCP Rattatifor killing the Minnie scout with the final numbers in your EWAR Concentric Circle Scan Falloff Design how is a Minnie scout going to nova knife people? run dampners and we don't have the speed to close in behind reds. run speed and get spotted at 10-25 meters. so yea thanks again... there goes a huge waste of time and skill points learned to run Minnie scout & nova kniving.

Just some quick things I'm noticing after really going over these notes.
1.) Scouts in short range have a 18 dB scan precision. Let that sink in for a bit. EVERY scout has this. NOBODY except other scouts can dodge our short range scans. Not even 4 damp assaults.
2.) Assaults may be able to scan you in 6m range, but nobody can possibly react that fast. Nobody has their eye on their radar 24/7, and It will still be easy to jump someone with knives as he is firing at someone or distracted. You can still pick them off one at a time. It WILL however, be hard to hang around an area with a lot of people. Run speed and damps people, you'll need it to survive. Never stop moving.
3.) Looking at all the new ranges, skills and whatnot, It's easy to see that the battlefield is going to be a LOT more interesting. Scouts can no longer scan assaults at range with base skills. People are REALLY going to have to start using your eyes more. Assaults WILL damp and WILL run precision. Everyone is basically getting an HP nerf as you are going to have to use eWAR to survive.
4.) Heavies and Commandos are going to feel a lot more vulnerable in exchange. With base skills, they will easily be picked up by scouts on long range scans. You will still see that heavy at 30m, and he won't see you at all in close scans.
In short:
Assaults are going to be a lot tougher to engage, but not impossible. Logistics will probably still be the greater threat, since they have a larger short range scan radius. Both will probably devote at LEAST one eWAR module per suit. Assaults will either run range or precision (Depending on their tank), and I bet you that Logistics will probably run at least two (Precision and range).
In exchange, they make themselves EASIER TO DETECT. This means that our LONG RANGE scans can pick them up. Which allows us to avoid them, or maneuver around them.
Ranged weapons will be more popular on scouts due to a difficulty in using CQC weapons. Once again, this is where you can start messing with peoples heads. Since shotguns will be rarer, what will happen in CQC? People will turn corners, expecting a rifle. Nova Knives. Dead.
Once again, this is all theory, but I actually can't wait to see how this plays out. I will also finally be skilling into precision and range V, as I never had a reason to run them on my Min Scout before. Now all my suits can benefit from it.

Lvl 3 base dampening and lvl 3 scout technically got you below vehicle scanners, but since it rounded up, you would get scanned.

Rattati backed down on increased cloak bonus. Probably for the better. Few look back fondly on the pre-alpha 700+HP invisible GA Scouts.
Hm.

If I can't dodge the majority of scans with a cloak and 2x damp, life in PC will be VERY difficult.

Find cover and wait a few seconds.

I fully expect the WP amount to be adjusted. 1 for every 300 WP?
Dude, I alone could easily pull 5-8 of those a match.

I would save it...an OB is easy to get (warbage strike) if you actually are trying for points. I squadded up with a commando ak.0 that was using a combat rifle and mass driver...he scored 1500 with me above 3600! Funnest match! Of course I tried with my amarr sentinel but he sucked at logi lol These will be spammed none-the-less but at least some of us are smart enough to save our points...?
I don't think the system works on saving points.
I think it's just "Get X strike after X points"
Then again, we've never had options. It may actually be a "Spending" system.
Wait until tomorrow to find out.

LOL.
So I comment on the Active scanner keeping the arrow on tacnet, saying that Gal Logis are now the best recon suit.
I point out how the meta will change and scouts new role.
I got told by blues that they never understand why people from big corps complain so much.
STFU, I didn't complain at all in that post you idiots.

Yeah, after getting kicked out of the State War Academy, I wandered for a bit trying to figure out what to do from there. Couldn't go back to my family, they thought I was a disgrace.
Ran into some Vherokior while crashing at a pub. Got into a fight with some Amarr who tried to strongarm me into joining the Amarr Militia (Claiming that they were "Rescuing me from the company of these barbarians")
Sure enough, after I threw the man down trying to manhandle me, the Amarr with him looked ready for a fight, then backed down and left. Turned around and half the freaking cantina was standing up ready to fight as well.
They were willing to stand up for me when nobody else would. Ran with them for a bit, and found out that they are better family than anyone else I've ever had.
After hearing tales of their oppression at the hands of the Amarr, I decided to officially join the militia. NOBODY messes with my family.

I love my Flaylock. People hear me sing praises about it all the time and more corp mates are starting to run it.
It's fantastically fun and effective. Versatile too. It's the premier CQC finisher in this game due to HUGE armor alpha damage, and splash makes it incredibly versatile. You can sweep a point for RE's with one shot, kill most scouts with 2-3 (STRAFE THROUGH THIS SUCKER), pop links with ease from a distance (If you can learn to handle the splash) Etc etc etc.
Seriously, I run Flaylocks as my go-to sidearm on all of my Min Assault fits, and all of my Shotgun Scouts.

I am mostly just thinking out loud. Give it a go before passing judgement; I don't find its as bad out there as post-1.8 Scouts are making it out to be. I was thinking this before this patch even. Mostly when I ran into Ghost running a heavy and his Amarr scout friend with a rep tool and precision. Then watching the forums today, I always see him talking about filling up his lows with damps or throwing on a Kincat etc. If one of the best Minjas in the game is talking about needing to run proto to make it viable, it makes me nervous. I am thinking of us plebian Minjas without super skills. P.S. Also, I am tired. And my brain is getting random. And still at work, so still bored and in need of finding discussion.
Scouts are so broken in terms of SP.
If you want to run a decent scout in this meta, you need maxed fitting skills, Damp V, Cloak V and Suit V.
It's crazy. Mainly the cloak is the issue, since it's almost impossible to run a decent cloak on a scout that ISN'T to lvl 3. And Basic cloaks are trash anyways.
Seriously, Rattati, if you're reading this, do the newbro scouts a favor. Life is probably hell for them. I'm fairly certain that I had it easier, and I was a new bro in Cal Logi/Tac AR days.

How would you compare Flaylocks to MDs?
They are only comparable in the fact that they deal explosive damage. IF you were to make a comparison, it would be like this:
Flaylock is a focused MD with a smaller clip, faster reload, and smaller blast radius.
I freaking love MD's as well.
I'm one of those crazy guys who actually uses his commando as a "Heavy Assault". It works wonderfully.
MD's are fantastic at suppressing people at range. Case in point: The new "Hanger" map. Sit on the southern catwalk with a hive (on the eastern side). You have excellent cover from troops on the ground (and from people who jump down on the other side). You can then use the ample cover to rain hell on people. I got a pentakill once off the other balcony when a few guys jumped down and tried to set up links, hives, and everything.
I just kept shelling with a boundless assault MD. 5 died trying to jump to safety. Got 2 more assists afterwards as blues cleaned them up.
Of course, they came to my side next.
I just shelled them as they dropped down in cover. If they tried coming straight at me, they got the Six Kin ACR treatment. On a 2x damage modded commando, the ACR is a pocket HMG.
They gave up after the second push.

You guys are hilariously one sided for the most part with what you think is balance and it would be nice if the vet scouts put you in your place instead allowing the bile to spew forth.
Newbro anything is harsh, deal with it.
If you want all the tools to do what is normally considered cheating in other games then it should be sp intensive. I have the Amarr scout at proto before you speweth more bile.
Hold on, you are a vet scout.......kind of.

RogueTrooper 2000AD wrote:Varoth Drac wrote:RogueTrooper 2000AD wrote:Passives until then yeah.
And precisely yes, it is made to unlock features, like the cloak.
A level one scout with mlt damps is going to be invisible to a lot of players in a match all on its own provided the player isn't a tard. They will be invisible without the cloak to a lot of proto players as well for half the sp investment.
Umm, dampeners don't make you invisible. They just keep you off radar when out of line of sight. As for your previous post blaming us for bias, this sp issue affects nobody here at all, so you can't use it as an indicator of trying to get buffs for ourselves. If you want all the perks that are considered cheating in more than 99% of other games then it should be sp intensive. A poxy cloak is not an integral part of scouting for decent scouts.
If you want to avoid being scanned it is.
My Proto Scout runs 2x damps and a proto cloak.
WHILE CLOAKED I can dodge amarr passive scans and Gal Logi scans (Outside of focused). If I DIDN'T run a cloak, my Minja would have to run 3x damps, which really hinders the more positive aspects of the suit (Such as speed or hacking) since I lose that final low slot that is used for fitting versatility.
This is godsend. Avoiding scans is an integral part of being a scout. If you aren't damped, you might as well run a speed tanked Assault, its basically the same thing now, minus the more precise passive scans.
IMO Proper scouting is 40% dampening 40% stealth (Read: people not seeing you with their eyes) and 20% engagement/disengagement
You gotta know how to avoid scans, avoid eyes, and how to make sure you don't die when engaging and disengaging. If done correctly, everything else should fall into place (Minus the extra stuff, like removing uplinks, placing uplinks, setting traps etc.)

Kaeru Nayiri wrote:Has anyone considered making both Armor plates and Shield extenders PERCENTAGE based instead of straight value?
Any suit with more base HP could get more from using them so the cap on HP would be a totally natural one. This would require revisiting all frames basic HP values but we could have really good stuff with this.
If shield extenders (or armor plates) were +10%, with stacking penalties, frames that are tanky stay tanky, frames that are light get a lot less, and abuse automatically becomes impossible. It also fits in perfectly since the modules are enhancing the frames built in performance, not adding new functionality.
Scout: 150 Shield +10% -> +15 HP and if you stack a second shield extender then stacking penalties begin as normal
Assault with 300 Armor +10% armor plate -> 330 Armor, adding another plate would stacking penalty
Heavy with 600 Shield +10% -> +60 HP, again, adding more would have stacking penalties from there.
Just an idea.
This has been brought up SEVERAL times.
Though I'm more of a fan of "Light, Medium, and Heavy" Shield Extenders / Armor plates.
Heavy frames would have the most CPU/PG, but their weapons and modules will cost a TON.
Mediums would be unchanged.
Lights would have the least, and would likely be forced to use "Specialist" weapons to run decent weapons. Their modules would be the cheapest in terms of PG/CPU
This would make it harder to HP tank out of a suits intended range. You wanna equip a heavy shield mod on a Med Frame? You better be willing to sacrifice a LOT of CPU/PG for it.

Everyone get in a squad. Put 10 mil on the table and race to the bottom. Basic Gear only allowed (So that you don't burn through it too fast).
First to lose 10 mil is done, nothing extra.
2nd has to pay an additional 10% to corp funds
3rd has to pay 20%
So on up to 5th who pays 50%

NEVER hand out lump sums.
If someone wants to learn, sponsor them for "X" amount. Pay on a "ISK per death" basis when in squad learning from a director.
"Good job last round. Oh, hey. You died 8 times, here is 250k for that round"
They run good fits, and probably pocket the rest. After a while, they will get the full amount, and also a lot of training, advice, and practice.

I love FA.
Okay, so we were all playing last night during Director Night (All directors get in a squad and have fun). We had another squad or two of FA with us, so we decided to have some fun.
Queued into a pub (Different sides) Everyone pulled out their black eagles.
We went to bridge map, and made sure NOBODY took the Alpha point. We didn't kill eachother. We didn't even cap the objective. We just made sure nobody from either team could take it.
Of course, this just makes people want it more. It was glorious.
We also spider tanked logis and didn't shoot anyone (Until tanks were pulled out), and then a few guys (Including myself) ran suicide core locus fits.
10/10 would have stupid crazy fun again

Highly recommend MN Assault. Best Scout available. GA Assault is another good option.
I'm prepared to be burned at the torch for this.
If you honestly believe that the Min Assault and Gal Assault are better "Scouts" than what is available; then you have never really been a scout in the first place.
They are better SLAYING suits. In an equal playing field with no eWAR, these suits are fantastically better at surviveability and damage dealing. Take the Min Assault for example. It's fast, tanky, and has a bonus to make it better at dealing out punishment. It is a premier SKIRMISHING suit.
Gal Assault is a freaking brawler suit. It has lots of HP, constant reps, damage mods, and a bonus that lets you hipfire all day long.
However, both of these suits fail at the one thing that makes scouts shine. AVOIDING SCANS.
Assaults need 2 Damps to be adequately damped. At 23 dB, the only thing scanning you reliably will be Gallente Scans and med range scout scans. On almost every suit though, you will lose tank/regen/speed. Gal Assault can only really get 475 armor and 10 rep/s. Min Assault can still be fast and tanky, but you lose regen, having no armor and a horrid 6s shield delay.
Not only that, but they all fail in PC when trying to be a "Scout". You will be scanned. Period. However, if your idea of "Scouting" is running around in a fast slaying suit, then go ahead. Min Assault with a shotgun is actually pretty decent in PC against teams that don't scan properly.
A SCOUT however, excels in avoiding scans and maintaining speed/regen, and still having a decent tank for its speed and hitbox. One of my favorite ways to play scout in PC is a Gal Scout with 2x damps, 2x speed and Uplinks. You are almost impossible to scan due to sheer speed (Focused can't hit you very well) and you can easily plant uplinks in prime locations.
2x Damp min scout with a kincat is great at quickly covering ground and hacking objectives. I also use this suit with a cloak and uplinks to do the exact same thing as the other suit, except I can quickly get in and hack the objective faster.
Powerful short range passive scans let you scan almost anything around a corner. A single precision lights up any med frame not running 2x damps, and is invaluable at picking up when something is turning the corner to meet you. Most importantly, you are great at picking up equipment in a large radius.
All of this combines to create the massive difference in Scouts and Assaults that we have in today's PC meta.
SCOUTS are used only in ones or twos in PC now. Much like the old days. Our job is to lay uplinks behind enemy lines, remove uplinks/equipment, and use dampening to punish those who rely too much on scanning.
ASSAULTS are used as a slayer class. They run in the group, using their speed and tank to quickly engage and kill enemy targets on the battlefield. They are powerful and versatile, but weak in eWAR without modifications. You supply them with external eWAR, in the form of scanners to create powerful offensive forces.
Hence the Meta. Assaults will kill any scout they see in a 1v1 outside of CQC range. To avoid this, they dampen, and flank constantly, often removing the logistics units supplying the scans for the team, creating an advantage for their team. Since a lone, undamped scout can actually cause quite a bit of havoc with their speed and alpha, they can't be unaccounted for. Enemy scouts will attempt to routinely cover their teams six when possible, and help chase down fleeing scouts, when not performing their own duties.
TL;DR
If you think Gal and Min Assaults are better scouts, you're actually just a slayer in disguise. Go get an assault suit and play like an assault. Let the scouts stay in their suit and do their job: Removing uplinks/equipment, solo hacking lightly guarded objectives and punishing people who rely too much on scanning.

You know what? Rant not over.
Remember everyone's cries after the OP Scout build?
"Get rid of the assault scout! Let the slayers go into their assault suits!"
Now you guys are saying "Everyone go into the assault suits, they're better scouts than scouts are!"
BS. They just got put back into their previous position, and everyone still wants to grab their scout and go grab 20+ kills in PC / Pubs.
People who pulled 20+ kills in Pubs with a scout suit used to be freaking rare. A person like that was a god at quickly engaging, killing, and disengaging a single target with RAPID SPEED. They could almost run circles around teams that weren't communicating effectively or scanning properly.
Now it just seems like everyone feels entitled to the same offensive power that they used to have, even though that power was something that we all agreed that we SHOULDN'T HAVE.
I'm not afraid to say it. I have 2 Proto Assault suits. And they are FANTASTIC at killing people. I don't pull out my scout suit when I want to push people off the objective. I grab my Gal Assault, stick my AR in their face and tell them to leave or die.
I DO pull out my scout when I notice that they are all running around pell mell all scattered about. Then I go and pick them apart one by one and go hack everything they love and hold dear. Or when I notice that the front line doesn't need my help, and I instead want to focus on removing their ability to zerg the point over and over with links.
My scout suits aren't slaying suits anymore, and all is right in the world. If you still think that you need the Gal/Min assault to scout, wake up and smell the roses. You don't want to scout. You want to rip peoples faces off with a shotgun.
And that's completely okay. Grab the assault suit and be happy.
Just don't call it a "Scout", as you would only be lying to yourself.

Why? All good feedback. Completely agree as it relates to PC.
You'd be surprised. People act funny when you tell them their entire playstyle is wrong and they should switch.
To be honest, I said the same thing to Gav after the 1.8 changes. I told him that he wanted to be a Min Assault, not a scout. All he wanted to do was run up and shotgun people to death. After a long time, and much rage, he finally switched, deeming the Min Scout useless.
He now has a Min Assault and shotgun, and he couldn't be happier. Not only that, but now he brings out his min scout with a different mindset.
And all is right in the world.

That's because nobody scans or damps properly in pubs.
eWAR is removed from pubs 9/10 times. Remember what I said earlier? Without eWAR, scouts are almost useless to run.
Think if it this way, you don't bring AV out if there aren't any tanks. You don't bring a scout out unless there is a reason too.
It's a specialized suit. You can still run it, but expect to have not much to do that round. Just play careful and do your job when you can

Bear that in mind when the Dust servers are finally shut down for inactivity. You can feel free to be as smug about it as you like, but in the end you'll be doing it on your own. I was part of the PC squads a while back. I know what you mean but that's just the wrong attitude to take. Dust blows through a shocking number of players, even Rattati has admitted this. In the end there simply won't be enough potential players to support this unsustainable practise. Even EVE has high sec. Tactics and so on are fine but paired with maxed out fits and lopsided match making it creates steamrolls. So hopefully the tier locked matches will be interesting.
Don't get me wrong here. I'm all for better matchmaking. What I would love is a PC version of pubs, where FF is turned on, payouts are much higher and gear locked to ADV or Proto. Slaughtering hordes of MLT players makes me feel sick to my stomach, they don't even have a freaking chance. There is a REASON why I never play ambush.
I basically only play pubs so that I can play with friends. I'd much rather PC. Pubs put me to sleep 9 times out of 10.
But I'm not going to water down my play style. I'm not going to play like an idiot. I'll run ADV gear and my sh*tty discount BPO scout, but I will always play on top of my game.
And for most PC players, top of your game is enough to trash most of the people in Dust. Blues need an actual tutorial about Dust tactics. A tutorial that teaches them to run damp fits when scans are out, or how to use higher HP suits to breach heavily defended objectives.

Want to know why people hate PC corps in pubs? It because we know how to shut down people who can't adapt.
We bring scans and watch everyone run around trying to make that scout assault work. Smart ones pull out the damp fit and get to work I hate PC corps in pubs because they are all running fotm proto min assaults. Funny in pubs a lot of those that you say can't adapt don't have the skills to dampen, see proto uplinks on rooftops, run proto 24/7 and most of all run min assault like everyone is on the PC corp proto stomping them. PC corps think they are so good when they are nothing but exploiters of whatever is FOTM and proto stomping pubs. That is not adapting or being better in a pub match.Funny I can bring proto scans and the pc corps in pubs do not dampen they just keep spamming proto min assaults while spamming uplinks on every rooftop. Is that how PC matches are?
Top Tier meta hasn't changed in awhile.
Put links down on the ground in defendable places. Roof links are not viable if you don't have total air superiority.
Be able to rotate FAST between objectives on bridge map.
Scans will save you from fast Min Assaults.
Heavy Spam CQC objectives. City is largely determined by who brings the best heavies. Watching 4 FA heavies with Logi support was glorious, they would tear through 6-8 heavies in a single push.
Scouts kill every damn link they find. Flux ones in hard to reach places. KILL LOGIS
ADS Support is pivotal. Combine with a tank or two for outside points, and you have a tough mobile team.
Most tactics revolve around defending objectives with an iron wall, and protecting your own spawn system, while removing the enemies.
A good push into city will cap both objectives, and kill the enemy team, along with links. IF they have Air Superiority, they can keep jumping down from roofs. If not, they are pushed out, and will probably crash the outside objectives if playing bridge.
The only corp that I have seen SPAMMING Min Assault is OH. Played em last night, held a solid 3 cap all game long. Scans really helped negate overall effectiveness on the outside objectives.
As for the underlined, you just proved my point. I just told you the counter to the FOTM. It's powerful scans. A good team of equal skill can easily counter that Min Assault spam with good, sustained scans. It doesn't have the eHP to survive getting prefired around corners 24/7.
The problem is the fact that the people in pubs just aren't on the same skill level as most PC corps.
Take for example a PC corp that I love. Dead Mans Game.
Dead Mans Game has SOLID tactics and teamwork. They have better synergy than 80% of the teams in PC. The reason why they aren't as strong as the rest is a severe lack of slay power.
I remember playing them in FA, we held city with 4 people. Derrith ran ADS, with 1 scanner in the city and Jigoku and Myself running scout.
We held city by OURSELVES. They sent 8 people there and couldn't hold the objectives. Not because of lack of talent or lack of counters. They made all the right moves.
They just couldn't slay us. Even at disadvantage, we destroyed them with gun game and skill. Sometimes, there are hurdles that tactics won't let you jump.

Spademan wrote:Ghost, what would you suggest to "fix" pubs?
This is a problem in almost every game. It's even harder to fix in smaller ones.
CoD actually had a very good way of giving low skill players a way to counter high skill ones. Watch this video for an excellent reason why Noob Tubes are beneficial to FPS.
2:34 is so alike to Dust514 its SCARY.
However, CCP has never been able to pull this off effectively. The best version I've found recently is HEAVIES. Huge amount of survivability and DPS, and is literally an "I win" button in CQC objectives. I don't care how good your Assault is, its is DAMN TOUGH to solo a heavy 1v1 within 5-15m.
Anyways, these are the most realistic options I see CCP taking to separate the skill levels.
1.) Gear lock tiers, scale payouts. If you want to get lots of ISK, you have to play proto tier. Since its the highest paying tier in pubs, everyone who wants to make good ISK will be there. PC players would be there to fund PC. If you want to stomp blues, you would be forced into the same tier gear, and may possibly get lots of kills out of picking on the lower tier guys. But you will get barely any ISK out of it. Not enough to make it worth your time.
2.) Update global killboard, designate ranking based off percentile, balance games off of that. It would be based off of a mix of weekly stats and lifetime, to prevent gaming the system. Reminiscent of old Halo matchmaking. Top tier players would find most of their matches filled by people in the same ballpark as them. Problem with this is that the top x% of dust players are not very common. Chances are, you would be trapped into small matches, or stuck with blueberries and forced to carry.
Only real ways I can think of fixing this. Hope that helps.

After hearing about the active dampeners possibly being developed, I suspect this is the best way to view things. Cloak fields are essentially active dampeners.

Seriously, I almost never get it.
Now I get it almost daily.

WTF Guilt by association?
No, these are definitely directed at me.
They just love to call us all bad at the same time.
If we suck so much, why does everyone complain about us?
If you can beat us in 1v1's all the time, why do you whine and send mail telling us we suck after you go 11/12?
I'm confused. It seems contradictory.

I get wanting to play your best and all, but to flat out enjoy frustrating new players or players that still play this game in spite of the stomping is what makes people play less. I seem to remember you being upset with how some people in this thread have behaved, but looking at that FA QQ thread, I can't say any of your corp mates behaved any more maturely. If you really care about how others view your corp, I suggest a little humility as a whole may go a long way. If you don't really care, then the question itself is moot.
Infected wasn't wrong in his post. Read it carefully.
He does run ADV a majority of the time. He wasted tons of ISK blowing up tanks with RE's attached to dropships.
Now about the others? Yes, FA gets apathetic a lot. Mainly because most of them (Like me) got to where they are by fighting like hell and never giving up. When people pull out Proto, we answer, and put them in their place.
I don't think you understand what the name does. I can run BPO gear and watch as every starts turning the gear dial up, until they have people running full proto to try and take us down.
So we slap ours on and show them how its done. If I start a match in PRO, its because I see people on the other team who will end up there eventually anyways, so I just pull mine out in the first place.
So yeah, we're apathetic. We deal with proto in matches every single day. Most don't see how anyone else can complain.
As for the ones talking smack to the other PC corps there, that's just common practice. Everyone hates each other in PC.
Everyone is really high strung on the competitive side.
Most of you have known me and played with me before. I try hard to be understanding and fair to all I encounter. At the end of the day, I play this game to play with friends and have fun. And when I play with FA, we always have a blast, either by fighting a tough fight and coming out on top, or by running challenging and entertaining fits when matched against people who don't have a chance.
Most of us in squad will immediately say "Well great, this match just got boring" as the entire team is redlined. We would much rather have you push the objective than give up.
Sadly, almost everyone chooses the latter option.

I don't understand your question. The dragonfly and toxin BPOs are going to save you tons of Isk long-term. If you're asking if you should buy another 10k AUR, I'd ask you what do you intend to spend it on. If you're telling me you have 10k extra AUR on hand, and don't know what to do with it, I'd wait until you're wife/girlfriend/mom leaves town, buy a bunch beef jerky, stack a few 3-day Active Boosters and grind 'til your eyes bleed. (I wouldn't spend it on AUR gear or strongbox keys.) The thing is, I have 5 dollars left on my GameStop gift card, and apparently they sell 10k Aurum. There is nothing worth buying for 5 dollars at GameStop so I might as well buy boosters. I just wish I had some BPO modules or LW or something. It's pretty damn hard to run dual SMG's. Unless I fit basic everything. militia flux grenade bpo is 9800 aur and is something I would recomend. I would recommend this as well. Flux are a staple of my fits because they are useful almost always
Fluxes are extremely useful.
List of Uses:
Removing RE's from objectives
Removing equipment glitched into the ground
Removing equipment PERIOD.
Makes shield based suits cry
Acts as limited AV against shield tanks. Fluxes hurt.
Friendly Fire Friendly. You won't kill with these things, although you might makes some people mad.
Detonating your own RE's on tanks (FF has to be on), in a quick 1-2 punch!
The list goes on. They're incredibly versatile.

Smh. I've been reading your posts carefully, and you sound like a completely different person these days. The old Ghost wouldn't of cared much stomping. Capable of stomping? Absolutely. But he would've seen the problems it causes, and he would've stepped up and at least tried to do something about it.
What am I supposed to do? Play worse?
Even when I mess around and go sniping, I can still pull 10+ kills and protect an objective.
When any more than 4 FA get in a match, most people can't, or WON'T oppose us. They leave the objectives, and head for the redline.
PC is mostly inactive, and you only have a couple of those fights a day.
FW takes forever to que because nobody plays it.
What else is left? Am I not supposed to play the game, because the squads I play in are too good?
Am I supposed to sit in the redline and do nothing?
Stop playing with my friends?
Never run Proto again, because I "Ruin the game" when I do?
Tell me Shotty, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I still don't care much for stomping. Playing against blues who can barely fire a gun is boring.
But I love playing with my friends. My corp mates and friends I've made over the past 2 years are the ONLY reason why I still play this game.
But I can't play matches without "ruining the game for the other team", even when running low tier fits.
I can grab my ADV Galmando and still go 20-4. Using nothing but an AR and PLC.
And then everyone yells at me for playing with my friends, claiming that are nothing but scrubby little pub slayers who ruin the game.
And I'm getting kinda pissed off about it.

Also the FW thing is funny because it is true and a product of itself. Nobody plays it, so nobody bothers to sue into it
Co-Operatively is competitively.
Even if I never fire my gun, I can run a logistics unit and massively support my squad and team by using uplinks, injectors, scans and such.
Every action in this game that generates WP is CONSTRUCTIVE to winning a match, in some way or another.
Hell, I can run around in my scout suit, ignore most of the kills and still contribute to winning the match, hacking installations and taking points.
This game isn't engaging if you just want someone to f*ck around and do nothing constructive because he "ruins other peoples fun"
At the end of the day, I'm not just going to sit on my hands in a match if I can do something to help win.
We ALL hate that guy, the one who is sitting 200m of the objective, doing jack squat when he could be contributing to helping win the match. Why is he even here? Why isn't he helping the team?
I'll never be that guy. If I'm 200m off the objective, it's because I have a sniper rifle and I'm removing anyone who tries to roof camp, or eliminating other snipers.
But apparently I'm ruining the game for other people simply by playing it. I guess I should just run around solo 24/7, since that's the only option that makes everyone happy.
Except I won't be happy. My favorite thing about online games is playing and squadding with others.
It's why I've loved battlefield so much, and why I love this game so much.

I don't know, man. But I want you to know that I appreciated it when you called me out last time I came unglued at Zatara. It was bad form on my part. You made it perfectly clear that I was out-of-character, and you were right to do so. So thanks for that :-)
This isn't me becoming unglued. Unglued would be an all-caps rage post to GD for all to hear.
I came here to gripe about this because the barbershop has people from all skill levels here, from those who are ex-PC players, to brand new guys just trying to find their way. And I've played with a lot of you before, and consider many of you friends.
If it sounds like I'm yelling at you, I'm sorry for that, that isn't my intention.
Consider this more of me yelling at this entire situation and the whole community for saying that I shouldn't play with my friends or try to play to win.
I'm actually starting to understand why the rest are so apathetic. It's because there IS no answer that leaves everyone happy. If I want to play with my friends and have fun, I'll end up redlining poor blue dots because CCP can't figure out how to balance out high skill players from low ones.
Everyone plays this game for their own reasons. Playing with friends and having fun is mine. If I can't please the people I'm playing against while having fun in my own way, I have two options.
1.) Stop Playing.
2.) Ignore them.
It's the same thing on the other side.
Lets say that I'm some uber try hard that says "Idiotbluedot199, you're ruining this game for everyone else. You do nothing but die over and over and over. People like you suck, and you should stop playing the game."
Lets say that the poor guy is just REALLY bad at this game. But he LOVES it. He wants to play it. However, no matter what he does, he's not going to be a great player.
He has two choice
1.) Stop Playing
2.) Ignore him.
This is no different from my scenario. It's just inverted.

If I get on the ground with my ADV, people will pull out proto to kill me.
It's also bogus that I can't run any proto gear ever again. Why did I skill into this gear? Just to stare at it and use it 2x a day for PC?

I hear you. What I'm trying to say -- since my attempt at subtlety seems to have missed the mark -- is that a few of your more recent posts came across with an heir of d-bagginess; because I know you, I know it isn't your intent to come across that way. But there are lots of new guys here who don't know you, and I don't want those guys to get the wrong idea. About you or about us. I don't have an answer to the stomp-or-be-stomped problem. There's fault to be found on both sides, but matchmaking is who we should blame. We know Rattati's working on it, so an outlet for competitive play and better balanced matches are likely right around the corner. Fingers crossed.
Thanks.
The only time I'm a d-bag is against PC players who want to talk trash/smack. If a bit is bleeding off, its because I'm getting really pissed about this whole situation.
People say bad things when they're angry/upset. I'm no exception.
Subtlety is often wasted on me. Slap me on the wrist, please and thank you.

I would recommend you sync versus your own corp sometimes, FW works well. It makes for some fun matches and trash talking with friends. We would form two squads and have it out. It also has the added benefit of creating an enjoyable match for the blueberries when two good squads are fighting it out. Close battles are the best battles.
We fight each other often. Get on comms and talk smack the entire time.
Devin Xer actually has a 2x Precision Amarr scout just for my Min Scout. He's the reason why I finally specced Gal Scout.
And yes, we're all scrubs. It even says so in our corp description. "Must be a scrub to enter"
If you haven't yet, read the FA corp description. It's actually pretty hilarious.

I think most of you guys don't play fighting games competitively, so I will point this out: The above is the TRUE definition of a SCRUB. Someone who claims a tactic is "cheap" or "unfair" even though it is being used as intended and is part of the game. Examples: Blocking is cheap ! No blocking !! Grabs are dirty, no grabs allowed, man !! He through projectiles at me the whole game and stayed at max range !! This is BS !! Food for thought ! Think about this next time you use the S word.
I've been learning how to play melty blood actually
And yes, Kaeru is correct in his definition. Here is a tvtropes article on "Scrub". Still one of my favorite ways to review if something is broken or if I'm just upset that I'm having trouble countering it.

Melty is a great game, I promised someone i'd pick it up but haven't quite yet. Maybe you can teach me !!!
I'm not very good, been learning to play from the basics. I still drop BnB's like crazy. Only recently able to aircombo well. I might go and do some competitions if I get good at it. I don't see that happening with college and work though
Do you have skype? If you have the original game, I found a safe english "Patch" so that you can play it without trying to read japanese.

Are focused scanners worth dampening below?
It's a mix to be honest. Most spam 21 dB flux for maximum coverage, but if scouts become a problem, they WILL switch to 15dB.
3 Gal Logis in the city with rotating focused scans force every scout to triple damp.

Here is something that some of you fellow number-nutters might enjoy. The data is all kills in PC for a recent time period. First column is Dropsuit type and Second column is Weapon type, and the Kills are kills performed in that combination. Then, the last three columns are basically a one up category on both types, plus the Dropsuit race for further analysis. You can consider all of these kills performed in prototype gear, that is almost exclusively used in PC. Quick analysis (just drop the three last columns into an Excel pivot table, race across the columns and some conditional formatting to get the top 10 combinations), gives us: 1)AM Sent HMG, at 2X the next weapo 2)GA Scouts Shotgun 3)GA Sent HMG 4)Python MIssile Launcher 5)CA Scout Shotgun 6)MN Assault ACR 7) CA Sent HMG 8)Gunnlogi Railgun 9)MN Scout Nova Knifes 10)GA Scout Remote Explosives There is a picture but it is not great for the eyes. This google doc is a bit better lol https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bUltXQYBFeUqpvWsTbX72PEcSkUKlrqi8MSfWm3il0c/edit#gid=0Also to note, MN Assault trending rapidly up, may need reining in soon. It's also interesting to study, not only the top, but the absolute combinations that are never used. For example, caldari scouts have no kills with nova knives. Also, Large Basic Frames are being used in PC, that is a conundrum to me... No-one ever got a kill with an Amarr commando. That's it, this is meant for the community to discuss, I have to work on some google docs"
Just did some number crunching.
Total Kills in PC: 231,145 Total HMG kills in PC: 62491
% HMG kills in PC: 27%
You have a 1 in 4 chance of dying in PC to an HMG

Sharpshooter, Ammo, Reload, and Proficiency are a waste past lvl 3.
When you have 5 proto suits and SP to spare, THEN you can get them. Take that SP and get that Combat rifle protoed to Prof 3, its far more useful.
Cardiacs are a waste. Red bottles are better in almost every way.

Speaking of which, are there any Pc's coming up the weekend for a eurobro? Also how far in advance are pc's scheduled? Is it just a day? If so the previous statement is useless.
FA has free reign to ring for whoever.
Find fights. I know that RND has some later timers. If you want to stay on top of PC, just log in every day and see what we got. Pc's are scheduled between 24-72 hours, depending on various factors.
O.H keeps spam locking whatever districts we get until we lose 2 fights in a row, so don't expect too much PC. We took one last night and we'll only have 150 clones on district, they still sent an attack in less than 12 hours.
I guarantee you that they are sending MORE than enough to flip. Apparently Delta Blitzkrieg has a raging hard on for us.
In short: The only PC's WE are fielding are OH defense in our prime time. If you want fights outside of our american timers, you'll have to ring for corps.

Adipem Nothi wrote:Tried running the Ishukone Sniper Rifle today ... The headshot multiplier is great, but it is damn near impossible to line up a headshot on a moving target. If a target's wiggling at longish range, I'll miss him 3 out of 5 times aiming center mass. Aim for the head and I'll miss 5 for 5. It seems to be a total crapshoot; headshots on a moving target are more about chance than skill or effort. So aim for the body, right? If it's a Scout you're shooting at, you hit him once then he begins to evade. With a little luck, you'll hit him again and get the kill before he reaches cover. But if it is anything else, you have to hit him again and again and often again and again. This isn't so bad a requirement with the Tac SR, but the Ishukone fires too dang slow and kicks too dang hard for a weapon which requires multiple, consecutive shots to kill. Not sure what to suggest. Adding inertia on directional change would help with target tracking and the "crapshoot" aspect. Perhaps better zoom fidelity, reduced sway, and/or an ever-so-slightly faster rate of fire?
You need the snipers Mantra.
Be patient.
Wait for the kill to present itself.
WAIT. They will eventually stop moving, or be wounded enough to finish off. One Shot. One Kill.
Headshot or bodyshot, your goal is to eliminate in one shot.

Practicing with a 2x Mybo and 2x Kincat with Min Scout
I remember why I hated low HP Min Scouts.
Melee hit detection is still aggravating. So is backpedal (NK + Flaylock)
Those should be fixed soon though. Backpedal will fix a lot of problems with melee detection and NK.
I'm excited, to say the least.
Still pulling positive K/D, so this can only get better.

LOTS of real world trading.
Off of money from farm districts.
CCP had every right to ban him. Why should he get a warning for it?
If it was something obscure, then I could understand. But every game ever bans for real world trading, mainly due to legal ramifications that the company can get in trouble for.

Bring in the Yellow, Orange, Purple, and Black Biotics! Combat Stimulants forever!
Passive and active would be awesome! Activate the biotic to sprint at 200% for 5 seconds with a 30 second-1 minute cooldown. Same with Melee damage, or jump height, or any biological bonus.
(I'm kinda fixated on the biotic train)
Biotics are fun. Backpedal nerf will make CQC oriented loadouts more viable.
It did in fact effect both Melee and Sprint.
Don't wish for active modules yet, that's a LONG way away. Just passive for now.

No difference knifing people.
I just love all the extra mobility I get from a 2x Mybo suit. Very manageable, unlike 3x 4x or 5x.

You had 150 clones.
Why on earth would you let 4 people die 20+ times?
At one point, several of them needed to sit back and think "I'm hurting my team every time I die for no reason"
GG Though. Lag wasn't that bad, but I know we had a lot of heavies in city. Didn't even bother chasing kills half the time, just worked on removing links, counter-hacking points and switching to AV or MD as needed.

Bring whatever you want for the first foray into battle.
The moment you get scanned, fight until you die, and then switch to a more dampened fit.
Repeat until you stop getting scanned.
This often ends at the triple damp Gal scout, which is precisely why its so popular.
That being said, I still prefer my Min Scout in PC. I use it until a 2 damp scout doesn't work anymore, in which I pull out the 2x damp gal scout.

Overall Speed and Mobility. Stamina regen combined with speed makes it VERY easy to cover lots of ground fast.
Also: HACKS. You can't deny that the base hack speed of a min scout is useful. Even without breakers, compared to other infantry, you take points DAMN fast.
The Triple Hack Min Scout is also the primary reason you don't leave a point without at least one person within 15m of it.
If you overextend, they WILL take your point from you.

Try something new.
For example, I never knew that the Gal Assault and Commando could be fun. One of my favorite fits for fun is a speed tanked gal assault with a breach shotgun.
The bonus makes you have pinpoint accuracy and surprising aim. Record is 23-4

But I've seen Dreis (or are you him in disguise why are you talking to me when I was talking to Dreis) run proto everytime I play with him. In Doms, he is always running a Proto Min Ass with a Boundless CR or Six Kin ACR. And when he ran scouts, he ran a Scout mk.0
I'm not, I'm just showing that having a high W/L is more likely due to the fact that a player KNOWS how to win a match. They know what must be done and takes it upon themselves.
In that match, I had to solo hold 2 objectives and contest the third the entire game by myself while a few blues held the outside.
And I freaking did it. Good players have High W/L ratios because they run in squads and do what must be done.
If he wants to run a proto suit, let him. Those things are almost impossible to run for profit in pubs without supplementary income from PC. If he can afford to run it, why shouldn't he?
I run Proto Min Assaults and Proto Min Scouts.
Are you going to accuse me of only getting my W/L and K/D from pure MLT stomping?

Dude, I even said they were ridiculous. Am I biased? Should they be buffed instead because clearly as a biased Gallentean my opinion must be wrong? It's especially funny given the content of your threads are some of the most biased ones in GD, surpassed only by the likes of Sir Dukey. 1. Your original post calling me biased came before your sensible post that I +1'ed 2. Find me a biased thread Ive made in the past 6 months. 3. Those threads that you listed are easy to find with search functions. QQ Gallente sucks QQ doesn't provide quite as many results.
Let he who has no sin throw the first stone.
Seriously, all of us are biased to some degree. Some a lot more than others.
I would agree that Gav is a lot more biased than others, based on his posts in the past and having known him. At the same time, you've also put a lot of effort into trying to erase that.
Arkena is biased, but he tries VERY hard to work over it. Same as I do when trying not to sound elitist, while at the same time offering constructive criticism and advice.
So why don't we stop trying to yell at each other about who is worse, and instead try and use logical arguments instead.
These last few posts are literally the definition of "Ad Hominem"

If I were a GalLogi, I would.
Just carry 3 scanners and work in tandem. Standard Gal Logi loadout is 2x Flux, 1x Focused, and Uplinks. The point of running 2x flux is that it FORCES scouts to run damps, at least two. Focused is to scare them into dampening further.
Remember what I posted earlier about progression of dampening? You damp until the scans go away. Focused is made to scare you into running that third damp.
Gal Logi picks you up on objective with focused (He already knew where you were). Second logi pings you just before it expires.
Suddenly, you think they're spamming focused scans. They're not. But now you're running 3x damps and are less combat effective.
WORKS.
And now that logi can carry an AR and not be combat ineffective.

You still don't PC for us, and I have never seen someone in the field do this. I've taken down lots of Gal logi's mid scan, and I would know if one started pirouetting again.

Taking what I've said and taking it to the extreme. I just said I've never seen it happen.
Things that are viable typically end up in PC. What I'm saying, is that there has to be SOME drawback to this, otherwise, I would be hearing about this "Tactic" every time I formed up for PC.
FC's would be asking, "Hey, do we have any KB/M scanners in here?".
I don't hear that. All I ever hear them ask for is Gal Logi Scanners, and then they get told to run "X" for their equipment.
What I'm asking here is this: IF it is possible to run KB/M and Controller at the same time, and have a script to do instant 360 scans, WHY am I not seeing it in PC? It sounds great on paper, but I've NEVER seen it in the field.
It's probably one of the following
A.) Much harder to do/achieve than it seems to be
B.) A lie
C.) Has some drawback that makes it less viable
D.) Is a brand new idea that hasn't taken off the ground yet.

If you put two good knifers together we can hold down objectives like rabid beasts. I honestly miss the damp bonus because that fit the knife bonus. Damp > hack.
Leave the knives alone- it's the minjas greatest strength. don't tell nobody but it's also the best bonus in the game. You say keeping the knife bonus is holding us back and I say keeping the hack bonus is what is holding us back. I run minja more than any other suit. Personally I disagree about the knife bonus. I think it's great for flavour and identity. And it's just good enough to get me to use knives on nearly all my Min scout fits. But I don't think its a particularly strong bonus. In many knifing situations you would do just as well, or better with a shotgun. I would argue it is often easier to place two optimal range, direct hit shotgun blasts, than a fully charged nova knife double hit. On the other hand, I love the hacking bonus. I think, in terms of strategy, it gives the min scout a nice niche. It's not useful a lot of the time, but it's nice generally, and the strategic option to pull off that rare speed back is great. I wouldn't change the nk bonus. It's very important to the Min scout's identity and the fun / flavour of the game. I just don't agree it's particularly strong.
I like my knives.
But I would kill for a flat biotics bonus.

For the record, Llast, Pseudo, Mollerz, and I all basically run Minjas exclusively. I am sure there are plenty of others. Dries used to before he went FotM. I still run my Minja a majority of the time. Mostly because my Dust gun game has significantly gone down since playing Destiny (aim assist so strong in that game) and knives just seem to click with me. Although I do mix it up with the Cal scout and Min assault depending on how the match is going.
Minja is still my go-to PC fit.
Still the main fit I use in pubs, except for when I need to kill a LOT of clones.
Then out comes the Min or Gal assault, because they're fantastic at destroying hordes of targets.
I may not run a Min scout 24/7, but I still can make people fear the suit. I will flip your letter and force you to bring half the team to take it.

Double shot glitch
Melee, and hold down R1 in mid melee animation.
It will fire two shots at once. Empties the Breach Shotgun clip in one shot. I use it to OHK heavies.

Tell everyone so it might actually get fixed. That being said, I would love it if the Breach shotgun dealt that much damage and only had 2 shots. Would make it good for quickly mopping up two heavies if you have a good sidearm.
It works for flaylocks as well, possibly mass drivers. Just experiment a bit.

Two shots in one shot is still two shots.
But it literally fires a single shot with 2x damage.
Hence the "One Shot Drop"
Semantics all you want, but if you didn't know that I glitched it, you would assume I fired one shot and got really lucky with a headshot.
Or spike your controller in anger when I do headshot kill your Amarr heavy in one shot

i REALLY hope this isn't by design. ..this was just horrible If it started off well, it could have been a matter of people leaving early. For the most part, vacancies are not being filled, even when folks back out at the very beginning. Personally having mixed results today. Some good fights. Some really bad ones. Seems better fights are to be found in Dom and Skirm than in Ambush. I'm baffled at Scotty's insistence on feeding soloists to Kazuika Sniper's 500M-SP partyboy proto stompsquad. You'd think if I'd waited in queue for 4 ****ing minutes, I'd get something better than this. I faced Kazuika, I decided for the lulz of it I would use a Anti-Armor fit in Ambush, and I ran in to him. I killed him at least three times with a militia submachine gun.
Kaizuka and the rest of Carne Con Papa aren't great soloists.
What they excel in is using 6 people in ambush to quickly kill the team, and then proceed to spawn camp due to ambush mechanics.
Ran into them in skirmish once. Was not impressed. I'm convinced that ambush makes you a bad player.
You get so used to running around in a blob and having lots of support to fall back on. You lose your 1v1 edge.

You are just simultaneously firing two shots at the same time. Depends how you see it. I tested with Flaylock and BrSG. The clip drops by two, the recoil feels like 2 successive shots. But the animation shows only 1 pellet/projectile fired. Damage dealt in one impact with double the damage. Okay, let's just agree to disagree and get on with our lives. We both have our own opinions, let's respect them.

That being said, not being able to beat a ring team is your problem, not theirs.
Unless CCP locks corp battles to "Members Only", you will still have to deal with it.
And even then, there is nothing stopping them from joining, fighting, and then leaving said corp.

Varoth Drac wrote:The concept of ringers isn't a problem. The problem is there aren't enough battles. This means that a few elite players make up the majority of ringers. This makes it hard for less experienced players to get into and learn PC, as they will always be getting stomped by these elite ringers. This compounds the problem as it encourages FCs to pay for elites rather than use less experienced corp members. It also makes it difficult for corps to get into PC in the first place.
I'm hoping raids will help. In theory there won't be enough elite ringers to go round meaning higher prices for these elites and more battles for other players without getting stomped.
As long as people have ego's you will ALWAYS have corps willing to pay for teams to carry their name to victory.
I guarantee it.
Raids will help get new people into PC, I'm convinced of that, but you severely underestimate the power that an EXPERIENCED PC squad can do in a small pond.
People like to win, and I'm sure there will be more than one person with an ego to match his wallet.

Just step up and deal with the team. My issue is not with having to fight these ringer teams. My issue is with the concept. Don't you think it's ridiculous that corps are able to use ringers to boost the number of districts they can field simultaneously? I believe the number of members a corp has should reflect how many districts it can own within the same timer. If a corp can only field two full teams simultaneously at it's prime, it should only be able to own two districts within that timer. It shouldn't be able to use ringers to field six districts simultaneously, when logistically, it could only field two with it's own members.
Why not?
Its the whole point of logistics. If they are able to use ringers and hold more districts than their normal player count, all the power to them. However, over dependence on ringers is actually a huge weakness, if you know how to exploit it. If you know who the ringers are, you hit another district on the same timer and hire a team of players to show up there. The ringers will go to fight their own battle, and all the other team has to do is keep them there. Then you force the other team to show up with their own, or hire different ringers.
PC is war. Argue about honor and integrity all you want, but the bottom line is you are going to have to deal with it, no matter how scrummy it is.
CCP won't intervene. Welcome to the sandbox.
I'm not saying I don't agree with you. However, I don't try to convince other teams to change tactics so that I can have an easier time. I find a way to punish them for using the same team and strat over and over again.
TL;DR
Its a sandbox. Unless they are breaking the rules CCP will let you do whatever you want. You're going to have to deal with it.

Time to go back to my roots. While perfectly sober, I went double negative in a pub for the first time in years yesterday. Was running GalScout. Don't get me wrong; if I'd been running MinScout I'd have likely gone triple negative :-) Min Scout > all. But I'm a bit biased. Not sure about that, although maybe i'm not having the right fits. I would say min scout is the funnest one! At least, until it's not and you start swearing. I've found some maps are horrible for the NK non-hp based suit with speed and precession with a jump mod tossed in. I love that fit but it just won't work sometimes. So I start with it and see how it goes (usually dead fairly quickly to ranged fire). I've found the cloak to be exceptionally bad with the Min Scout. You can still use it with say a gal SG scout some to cross big areas. I have another min scout fit that is more tanked with NK and a ASC. It's meant to deal with those maps where you need some range but still want the NK fun if you can lure them in. It works well sometimes but you'll spend a ton of isk since they're around 50k a pop and you'll die a lot when facing Assault suits. Who knows, maybe i just have bad fittings :) Post your fit, and I'll post mine
Min Scout has the most utility.
In the right hands, it can be extremely useful. In pure slaying power, it still loses to the Gal though.

Sadly, won't be there this year. Guilty Gear will be though, and they're practically the same game. I still hope that Melty Blood pops up sometime again as a bonus within the next few years :(

I love blazblue. EVO 2014 had a great match if you want to watch it. Grand Finals game, double reset into the 5th game. Sadly, won't be there this year. Guilty Gear will be though, and they're practically the same game. I still hope that Melty Blood pops up sometime again as a bonus within the next few years :( I know ! I watched it, EVO was ******* AWESOME THIS YEAR !!!! A bunch of my friends made the trip to be there. Maybe I'll go next time? Man that match was totally awesome. Galileo is a hero. I love guilty gear too, theyre quite different though. I still look forward to getting my ass kicked by you in Melty one of these days !!!
I'm barely halfway decent. Fighting games are that one thing that I LOVE watching but can't really play well myself.
I probably just need to practice more though. I'm of the mindset where I believe that there isn't anything I can't do well if I put the time into it. Its just that Fighting games take a LOT of time to get good in.
Hell, I spent around 6 hours in training mode just learning the BnB's and mechanics for ONE character. Ain't got time for that.

Edge of my seat the whole time.
F*cking intense when it was Live.
He wasn't kidding when he said "THE WHOLE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET"
Dear god the electricity. The emotion. There's another recording of the final match where it includes the players in between rounds and afterwards. 10/10.
People who say video games don't make good sports are wrong. I've had just as much emotion and energy from watching EVO finals or LoL world series as I have watching Football or Soccer.

Also, just started getting into LoL with a friend who is showing me the ropes. I'm really bad at it so I end up playing support with him a lot, though I'm starting to get better with Ahri.
You're thinking of the "Daigo Parry". Probably the most important single moment of his fame. Instant celebrity right there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtuA5we0RZUFor those who may not understand what's going on exactly and why it's amazing: You block attacks by holding back, but you take chip damage. Chun-li tries to chip out Daigo with her super attack. If he just blocks it he dies, if he pushes buttons, he dies. So he parries EVERY SINGLE HIT, which is a very small window of opportunity where you have to tap forward the moment you get hit. A parry has many bonuses including reduced blockstun and no chip damage. It's absolutely incredible that he parried every single hit of her multi-hit super move.
Whats insane is the Chun-Li's first hit has 1 FRAME hit time.
He had 1 FRAME to react to it. So of course, he has to anticipate when it goes out. Nerves of steel.

My squadmates run scanners for me. My job isn't intel gathering, its ewar denial and lots of flanking. People are so dependent on scans, a double damped cloaked scout can wreck some havoc if he wants to.
Ishukone Cloak lasts so long too. I've actually waded into hell and just sat there with a cloak until 6 people walked by me. Barked on comms how many and what direction, then waited for cloak to recharge.

If you're looking for a cloaked scout, you can find him. But if I see you ACTIVELY trying to find me, I'll nope out the moment you turn your back the wrong way.
Most people just give a cursory glance around as they walk by. Thats when I wait and bide my time.
In short: Cloaks ARE useful, you just have to be aware of its strengths and limitations. Also helps if you are good at reading people.

Depends. If you have a combat rifle BPO, I would be MORE than willing to trade.
If not, I'll take practically any Min Officer gear. Not at a 1 to 1 ratio though.

Typically, they just end up scanning at me anyways. I feel like I'm contributing this way

Hit their flank the moment the other squad ran into them You know, with scanners you don't need to stand cloaked. If you used a a scanner the whole squad would know without you barking at them. It's more accurate too. Saves time too! This is probably because I don't PC, but in pubs you can flank without cloaks. It's pretty easy with a scanner cause the scanners tell you where people are so you just go around them. But you're the better player so your opinion is worth more.
Honestly, I still think its a matter of preference.
I dislike scanners for a few reasons. I am vulnerable while using them, they alert people around me that I'm scanning (Visual and Audio cues, along with the YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED), and they are purely preventative tools.
IF you do get spotted, a scanner does you no good anymore. It is used to PREVENT you from being spotted (the way you want to use it), but you still run the risk of a damped scout getting under it and lighting you up.
Cloak works on everyones eyes, damped or not. I've learned how to use general map awareness, alongside of friendly scans to be able to guess where heavy traffic is on the map. I then avoid those areas, use the cloak to get in behind them and kill them.
Other scouts? Just watch out for them and check your 6. They can't scan me (Double Damped), and if I do see them, I cloak and run. Min Scout is faster than most every other scout out there. Just get out of visual range, cloak and hide. Once the threat has passed, move on.
If scanners work for you, they work. I just don't like using them.

6 stompers queueing:
6-man squads: one stomp squad in queue, no other stomp squad to match them against 4-man squads: there are two stomp squads in queue, matchmaking should pit them against each other
Nice theory. Now let's pair it with observable facts. Most important, most relevant fact: CCP have shown themselves to be *completely incompetant* at match making. For years.
The logical thing to assume is that this is going to remain the same, rather than wishful thinking that it will suddenly be all better. If you start with that basis, then hopefully you can see that 4 man squads will still regularly be dominating matches, aka stomping.
Queue in.
See other people from PC corps that I know.
Make squad.
Everyone piles in.
Win.
Tears.
Repeat.
Even if I can't squad, I'll still find people that can WORK TOGETHER and travel with them. Maybe go on team comms.
Like it or not, squads are the most powerful force in Dust. They will happen one way or another.

Warlords 1.1:
PG MODS ARE HIGH SLOTS. MINJA JUST GOT A BUFF
Fit 2x Shields and a PG mod. 2x Speed, Proto Cloak, Proto RE's, Proto ACR, Proto Knives, PRO FLUXES. It's all proto! I may be able to be scanned by Gal Scans, but I now have 270 shields and a HUGE sprint speed.
I can now run High Speed, Decent HP suits for the Minja. It's time to GO GO GO FASSSSTERRRR.
3x Limit to Jump mods is good. Silly jumping was fun, but now the Minja is the best jumper. Nobody can stack higher than him now, and high speed will mean that he will be unmatched in his mobility.
LAV changes are nice. I wonder where the extra slot will go though? I'm skilling back into my LAV's. Saga-II is going to be the best form of rapid transport again. Fit buffer and regen, cause you got a built in free hardener XD.
Changes look good!

Someone posted in another thread that the standard cloak on the APEX scouts don't consume any CPU/PG so if you replace it or want to change the slot it's in your screwed over fitting wise. Just another work around due to the messed up way they did cloak CPU/PG.
Why would I change the cloak?
In all honesty, all I would do to the Tiger scout is give him a basic ACR, swap out the damps for proto and give him some more shields (If possible)
I need to play with it. I'll probably plug in and update dust later today.

Akhomi Cypher and Crazy Cat Lady never run solo...i stabbed them like 6 times in once...they returned with perma-scans 0uter.Heaven, FA and Capital Acquisition leave when they see opposition unless they bring a full squad Japanese corps stay in game (they so beastmode)
He's playing the wrong people.
I for one, will never leave a fight unfinished, mainly because of Battlefield. They should track quit percentage here, makes people a bit more honest when you can look and see how many non-PC matches you leave early.

You can always rebind. I know that puppeteer scheme has melee on the R2 button.
It just makes switching equipment hell, as you have to hold R3 to do so.

A few years back at the behest of a friend I tried to play Final Fantasy 13. After TWENTY HOURS of playing, the game was still running me through the same endless hallway. Couple that with the truly braindead writing and intolerable characters and it's a wonder I managed to even make it that far. That game was one of the final nails in the coffin of my dislike of JRPGs.
FFXIII was the first FF game I ever played actually.
I hated it. So much. I finished it because I like completing things, and I ended the story more confused than I started.
Combat was bad. Characters were bad. Plot was bad. Controls were bad.
Everything was bad.
Then I played FFI, which further solidified my belief that good gameplay transcends graphics. I had far more fun with that game than I EVER did with FFXIII.

The notable people in these matches were (to help me remember when I come to writing today's blog entry): Cuse Town333 (who I got to join NKU ), D4GG3R, Kardia Scorpio, Khloe, Emperor Averse, Banjo Robertson, Abdullah Muzaffar, Darth-Cabonite Gio, IAmBandit, Parth0k, GreenPaper and Diablo Gamekeeper.
TBF, not many of the people listed there are strong infantry players.
Dagger is the worlds best homepoint, Parthok is a great ADS, and Darth has some great 1v1 game (Mainly due to the ScR being one of the best 1v1 guns in the game).
Apart from that, not much. Cuse and Kardia aren't the best ground players, but they do handle logistics pretty well.
Just my thoughts on the match. My real question is this: Is this considered to be the average PC team nowadays?

Anyway back to your post...does ISK have to balance out, or can it be created without equal deficits? Does that make sense? I don't know if that's something an economy needs so that it doesn't over-balance down the line. If ISK can be made quickly by fighting tougher opponents, then the stompers will drop down a tier coz they want their hands on ......................... 3. I'm guessing PC 2.0 will be an ISK sink if they balance it correctly? 4. And tiericide may well change the face of stomping. 2. Stompers can't stomp the cassolo queue (they run 6 deep for a reason).
Depends.
Frost and I used to queue in the mornings together. Just us.
The carnage was unbelievable. We normally managed to clone about 60-85 Clones by ourselves, with an orbital every match (Post change).
MOST people can't stomp SoloQ. Frost isn't like most people, and I can easily kill things if they're all focused on him

Congrats on the new place and wrapping up finals week. Graduated 9 years ago (come December), and still have the occasional nightmare ... Forgot to drop a class ... Can't find the room where the final is ... Have to find the professor and explain/beg ...Lol. PC-wise, a few of the guys are playing Star Citizen. If you're interested, hit up Mollerz either here or off-site.
Star Citizen looks cool, might check it out.
God I love my new internet. Went from 1 MB/s to around 15 MB/s.
I can never go back.

Betwixt void and I we have quite the fleet shaping up. Would be great to deal with some OG bastards over there. On the offshore I always announce LTI sales and their details. There are a couple more coming up this summer and then it will most likely be done until certain variants hit. I got one of the militarized fuel ships with LTI a short time ago. No bastard will ever pay for fuel if I can work it that way.. I'd just need some gunners/engineers to help out. Hell.. anyone who wants to give it a whip is welcome to fly it as well. it's supposed to involve flying through the atmo of gas giants to collect fuel :D How BAMF will that be? There has been zero word outside of talk by the devs about melee combat. I'm really hoping they come through with something cool. I'd love to be a minja in the SC universe as well What rig are you building/specs?
On phone, I'll just give you a quick summary of parts.
I5-4460 MSI mobo 8 GB Ram DDR1600 1TB HDD Radeon HD 7950 GB Ram 750W PSU Mid tower with three fans
Total cost: $488 + $10 S/H
Might have to pay $80 for a power line if I want wired in my apartment. Planning on shoehorning a router into a wireless range extender and then running a cat6 out of it and into my computer.
I get everything but the video card for $388 through newegg combo, a friend is getting me the 7950 for $100
Using my smart tv as a 32" monitor. 1080p 60Hz
It's a good deal in my book

Wouldn't you just run a wired cable direct from your Internet router to your PC's network card? Maybe I misunderstood what you're doing... [edit] PS you may have to get pretty close to your TV to see the comp display properly...a lot closer than if you were watching normal TV. That's one of the things I'm waiting to see the SteamOS / big picture solve...it just doesn't work at that small resolution and standard TV viewing distance.
Landlord considered a 100ft long cable a trip hazard. Next step is asking if I can staple the cable along the wall.
If he says no, I am limited to wireless options or a powerline. Powerline is expensive, so I'll shoehorn a router until I get the cash.
As for the tv, I'm aware of how closer I need to sit. I currently have my laptop hooked up to it with an extended monitor

Dual SMG is not pointless, it's just sub optimal.
If you are going to Waste the knives bonus, at least run an anti shield weapon as a backup. Especially since projectiles are 15/15.
Try AR/SMG on a speed and shield tanked min scout. Excellent glass cannon fit.
Edit: If you put armor on a min scout again, I will come back from the grave to slap you. Speed and damps are far more useful than a ferro or reactive ever will be. If you really want armor, run a different scout.

Talking to some dudes at various computer stores, I was told that Cat5 cables lose 15% signal strength every 40 ft. Is this true, or was Mr. Best Buy trying to make me buy a wireless adapter (Even though they only sell the crappy thumbdrive ones)?

Low slots.. Low slots for the min scout are (in my humble opinion) the most treasured and precious things in dust. My low slots are worth more than a lifetime supply of officer weapons.
Why?
Damps and Kincats.
But let's forget that for a second, you want to test having a chunkier buffer of armor on a minscout. May I suggest ferros instead? If you are legitimately worried about repairing your armor, just bring a compact nanohive with you. you'll have 3 armor fill ups stocked up whenever you need. Count how often you actually use all 3 of them, then decide if you really want to give up a low slot for 1 more point of armor regen.
Personally, I always die before I can make use of armor regen. If I don't, I got REALLY lucky, and I'm not going to get lucky twice, so odds are I don't need the armor I lost for the next engagement. with the scanners around i gave up on fitting a damp...its either all damps or nothing. edit: I use a cardiac reg, a kincat and a codebreaker in my lows....works great
2x Damps and a Kincat is practically all you need unless they have more than one Proto Gal Logi spamming scans.
If you ever have to use 3x damps on a Min Scout, you need to switch to a 2x Gal scout.
Sometimes I even had to run 3x damp gal scout because squads will pull out 3x focused scan logis. This is how I know I'm loved.
Short version of "How to Scout"
1.) Spawn in suit with speed and uplinks. Survive until death.
2.) Spawn in suit with 1 damp. Play until scanned.
3.) After death or depot, switch to suit with 2 damps. Play until scanned (You normally never go past this step)
4.) Spawn in 3x damp scout and murder gal logis until they quit to save their KD/R.
5.) Play safe: 2x Damps. Feeling gutsy: 1x Damp. Repeat steps 2 (or 3) through 5 until game ends.
Running damps harms your offensive capabilities, so you ALWAYS want to run as few as possible. This is why each suit needs a 1, 2, and 3 damp set up to rotate through as needed.
In PC, typical loadout is 2x damps no matter the scout. Only go 3x on a Gal scout. Min scouts can't compete with other suits at 3x damps, so you have to switch to a gal or amarr scout, or to a different suit. I go Gal if I need to still play scout, Min Assault if I need to slay.
Hmm. I think I might write a comprehensive guide on scouting before I finally say goodbye. I'm sure it will drastically reflect my own playstyle, but I'm sure more than a few new players could benefit from it.

You can fit whatever you want on any suit. That is the beauty of Dust.
However, you start to hit a point of diminishing returns. In order to really enjoy the benefits of a reactive or ferro on a min scout, you need to run MORE than just one. If you really wanted to, you could easily run a 1x Damp, 1x Ferro, 1x Kincat Min Scout. It's damped, has a little bit more armor , combined with a good shield tank on top.
However, at this point, you must ask yourself "Can another suit do this better?".
The answer is YES. The Gal Scout can do it better. The Gal scout will be a BIT slower, but have 100 extra total HP, more rep and better eWAR. Along with better fitting space.
Putting Armor on a min scout is a dangerous path because of how it seeks to emulate the Gal scout. Normally, this would be a matter of taste, but with the Gal having better natural fitting capabilities and eWAR, the Gal scout will always win out in that fitting battle.
That is why I fervently believe that you shouldn't put armor on a min scout. Play to its strengths, don't try and turn it into a watered down Gal scout.

If you can, get a custom cable made (properly or you lose the cat certification) to length. For your uses you won't even be phased by a 30% loss.. but definitely keep the cable clear of sources of interference such as near wifi/RF signals, power sources, etc as much as possible. IMHO, I would say go wireless with AC router/wifi card. Less hassle long term, and probably not too much more $ than a 100ft cat 5/6 cable.
Yeah, wireless might be my best bet. I'm only about 20m from the router (Through the floors though). How strong of a card do I need? I don't think I need those 5GHz monsters with three antenna's, but I know a thumb drive isn't going to cut it.

That Ferroscale often saves my life. That speed I get from being Minja has also saved me before. I did run a Gal Scout before I respeced, but I found that the Minja had the perfect combination of speed, HP and Dampening capabilities for me. Besides, there are other little things that I dislike about the Gal Scout. IT IS playing to the Min Scout's strengths to make a balanced fit of HP, speed and Dampening, as that's what the Minmatar do best; running balanced fits.
If for some reason you hate the Gal Scout, then by all means, do what you wish.
I've ran every single Minmatar suit at proto. Every suit can be either shield or armor tanked EXCEPT the Scout and Logi.
Logi is strictly an armor tank, and Scout is strictly a speed tank. You sacrifice too much on either suit to do anything otherwise. For example: Running a ferro on a min scout reduces you to 1 damp if you want to have any speed. If you want to not be scanned, you will be SLOW. The speed difference between an assault and scout without kincats is negligible, especially since a lot of assaults run kincats now with the extra fitting space.
But hey, if you don't want to run a Gal scout, I will admit that the build is the closest you can get to it.

Eh, I may be exaggerating the distance. My laptop has a wireless card and it still pulls around 13 MB/s (From socket it is 15 MB/s min, 20 Max).
The wireless card in it is a Ralink RT3290 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter.
Now, I'm sure I can pick up any decent wireless card and still get better performance, which is all I need. I'm leaning toward a Powerline, specifically this one.
WOW. 46% off. That wasn't there a few days ago.
Bought.
Good reviews, fits my qualifications. I had a bunch of friends recommend these, my problem was that most were $70-80. What a deal.

It is not like the damn thing is only on a single damned platform and optimised for it or anything.
If it was... lol. Well optimization usually needs experience, and given the Cell Architecture I wouldn't bank on Dust being optimised. Hah! Fair enough. Dust is on a single damned platform for which it is NOT optimised. Either way doesn't sound that great. And not so great is what the frame rate is. ^_^

VERY early in my Dust Career.
That time when I was maining Min Scout back in the Tac AR days and couldn't even run Proto.
Got really mad. Threw my controller. Then said to myself "That was F*!Y%_ing stupid", picked up said controller and sat back down.
Never threw my controller again.
However, that was anger, not rage.
I RAGED at FA once in a PC. With good reason. Playing OH way back when. Huge fight over point, we push them out and I run in to hack. I yell "COVER ME" to the three heavies near me.
Lo and behold, No Neck ran right through and shotgunned me in the back.
I WAS F*CKING LIVID. After a few seconds, I wisened up and just shut up and decided to yell after the match.
We won, but I spent a good 2 minutes chewing out those heavies, who had NO EXCUSE for letting him through. It was Bravo point in three point city (RE deathtrap point). They should have put one on each entrance on one right on my back. They didn't, and we got delayed on the hack point and lost a clone.

This is why knife fights are boring 90% of the time.
Whoever initiates has a huge disadvantage. Just dance around until they botch the range, knife them during the lull after they miss.
If I see another knifer, I actually run with knives out after slashing a bit. They normally chase. I stab them as they turn a corner.
Unrelated: Look what I found
Not as weird, but an awesome mashup.

#1 - Lightning #2 - Radar #3 - Musturd #4 - Marauder #5 - ...
#5 is a toss up :-)
Demzor & Assert Dominance running together are terrifying; individually, I'm not sure, but I'd rank them above any other Scout Pair in the game; they're scary like Jane and Annie were scary back in the day. Then there's Fusion Commander and Keeriam Miray; these guys are unnaturally good. Lots and lots of close runner ups. Too many to name :-)
Lightning is the penultimate pubstar. Dude could make teams run in fear with a shotgun. I don't think he ever PC'd, IIRC. Didn't have to. Made enough money from pubs
Radar and musturd were fantastic PC players and slayers. Marauder was just downright oppressive. In your face, 24/7 with a shotgun ready to kill you and your whole team. AE really made him shine, as they had enough slayers to take attention off of him and let him do his job.
For number 5, I'd have to go with Jacobi/Fusion. Both are fantastic scouts.
For me:
1.) Marauder 2.) Radar 3.) Musturd 4.) Lightning 5.) Jacobi / Fusion
Radar ranked higher because of FC abilities.

Usually those scrubby players get carried by the players who are better.
Corps that want a command points will be letting in (almost)anyone who can complete a couple missions. Isn't anything new, just instead of earning a little isk off people they'll be going for the few command points. The better players will still have their "pc channels" to separate themselves from the corp chat, while the newer cats are none the wiser.
Who hasn't had their PC channels separate from corp chat?
How on earth could you run a PC from corp chat, that just sounds painful

All you need is a commando with Hives, Swarms, and either an MD or ACR, depending on preference.
Sit where nobody can easily shoot you. Hit Dropships with swarms, and never take your eyes off the point. Hell, if you have a decent AV net or ADS yourself, you don't even need a commando. Just a Rail Rifle and rep hives. Best one for this is a Gal Logi with lots of self rep, Hives and Focused scanners. If someone takes the point from you consistently, you should probably think of quitting PC, its not going to get easier.
If someone can't do overwatch, they don't belong in PC. It's literally the easiest form of point defense.

F*CK the Amarr.
That's what I think.
But yes, that could work. Laser rifle makes it hard to deal with people who rush you up top though.
My favorite way of dealing with overwatch: Get my DS to drop links on the opposite side, spawn in, KNIFE TO THE BACK.
Jump down and speed hack if I can. If not, run to opposite side of catwalk, cloak and wait for the repeat.

The Lizard Merc wrote:What exactly does it mean to be a bastard?
I mean, what exactly does one have to do to achieve it? I am seriously asking.
Okay okay okay.
A "Bastard" is the epitome of a scout. Scouts are supposed to be fast, hard to detect, and squishy. With high enough skill (and game knowledge), you can abuse you strengths to FAR outpace your weaknesses.
A Bastard is that scout who always manages to sneak in and shotgun your logi.
A Bastard is that scout who always knives you in the back while you try to hack a point.
A Bastard is that scout who ALWAYS MANAGES TO FREAKING GET AWAY.
A Bastard is that scout who makes you paranoid, and always checking you back every few steps.
And so you get mad. You chase him. So do your friends. You all devote yourselves to trying to eradicate this stupid, annoying sh*t with almost no health who seems to be running circles around you and devoting his life to making your game miserable.
This is a bastard. A sadistic little guy in a suit who gets off on messing with your mind, making you paranoid, and making the game as unfun as possible for you. You wanted to play Dust today? WELL TOO BAD. WELCOME TO RESPAWN SIMULATOR 2015
Anytime you encounter a scout who just makes you think "What a d*ck" you've met a Bastard.
How can you achieve this status? Start acting like one.
Start picking on logis and heavies. I put a personal death sentence on every Forger and Gal Logi I see in the game.
Stand close to points that you know are about to be hit and WAIT. Then kill the guy who goes to hack. Run off. Wait. Kill another guy. Pick them off one by one, gleefully as they try to hack a point. If they all start chasing you, send them on a merry chase and RE them around corners. If the whole team starts to show up, RE the point and run away. Then set up at the next point.
Someone trying to hide and forge/snipe in the redline. Show them nowhere is safe. Knife them in the back even if it means dying to redline timer (I have a cheap suit for killing Proto forges like this).
MAKE PEOPLE TILT. They make more mistakes and are even easier to take advantage of now.
I sound like an a**hole don't I? That's the point. I may be nice on the forums, but I aim to be ruthless in game. This is a TEAM based game. Anything you can do that destroys that teamwork is beneficial. And a good scout can mess up so many things at once, its not even funny.
At least that's my take on this. OG Bastards were very much like this. With great eWAR and familiarity with their kit, people like Marauder and Lightning got godly at stomping teams into the ground with discord and chaos.

Whoever has the most PC experience as an FC.
Stress on the FC part. I may have lots of PC experience, but I can't FC very well. I know the general meta and can easily build a team, but I can't micromanage well. I'd just give squads objectives and direct them with goals. Like "Squad 1, take B." or "Squad 2, I need links in acid pit".
Good FC's are hard to find

It's accurate.
Listen, the thought of "Raiding" with MLT suits only works if you can ACTUALLY pull off the ISK difference.
If you're good enough to stomp a team in PRO gear with nothing but MLT suits, you wouldn't need to raid, you would actually hold land.
The power difference between tiers is too great to make raiding profitable. You want ISK in PC? Be prepared to make a meat grinder of proto suits, its the only way to do so.
Highest payout I've had in PC was around 4 mil I think..... We turned city into a literal meat grinder. Burned through about 250 clones or so. They didn't show up for the next fight.

Oh, side note: My PC just died. Damn PSU suffered a main supply short. Hopefully the rest of the components are okay. Thing wasn't even a month old ;_;
Without my PC, and without a PS4 (Sold it for PC), I'll be on Dust for a bit. Lag and FPS make me whine like crazy, but I still love the game and people.
Current favorite fits:
Mk.0 Commando: 2x Shields, 1x Energizer, 1x Regulator, 1x Kincat. Boundless and ACR. I'm in love with the extra slot. Mk.0 Assault: I have a shield and armor version. The PG slots to highs makes me able to run a 2x Ferro and 2x Rep suit with Damage mods. Shield suit is my standard fare. Legacy Skin for the Armor, Brutor skin for the Shield
Mk.0 Scout: 2x Shields, 1x PG, 2x Damp, 1x Speed, Six Kin SMG, NK, Stable Uplinks, Pro Cloak. My old SMG fit is back with the PG move again.
Mk.0 Heavy: 2x Shields, 1x Energizer, 1x Regulator, 1x Kincat. Boundless HMG, M209 Assault SMG. Fluxes. Once again, nobody expects the shield tanked speed heavy. I remember playing with an armor heavy, laughing as he yelled for reps. "I DON'T NEED NO STINKING LOGI's" as used my speed and regen to its fullest
Got armor and shield based suits for every proto suit except my scouts, which are tailored for roles rather than tank. Like "CQC" or "Links".
Overall, I really like the GAMEPLAY changes, but am still p*ssed about the lack of OPTIMAZTION changes. FFS, fix your terrain and FPS CCP.

That IS true at least. In CQC the wiggle is still pronounced, but severely less at range.
Then again, I'm used to both extremes. Played Scout in TF2 for a long time, and played lots of BF3 (What strafe?).

I had more than one match with horrible FPS last night. Reset in the middle of a match it was so bad once.
Towards the end of the night it was smooth and solid (As smooth and solid as Dust can be). America servers are capricious.

If I did not tell anyone the infiltration would not be successful.
You only need to tell one person, and that's Musturd himself to facilitate the infiltration.
What's that old saying? If two people know, it's a secret. If three know, it's a rumor.

Same price as the other skins in its class, around 40 Mil. Typically, the 19k Aurum Skins go for 20 Mil. The 23k Aurum skins go for 40 Mil, much like the Thukker.

Meanwhile the actual defenders get a couple hundred ISK each. That's ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad if raiding weren't pretty much EXACTLY THE SAME as a real PC attack, except that it's extremely boring and unprofitable for the defenders. End game? HA! Neither team is running Proto because they're trying to save ISK. Neither team is trying to win! You can't even claim that there are other benefits, because nothing's actually in the DK store yet, and we don't know what kind of stuff can be brought from there with 100% certainty. According to Aeon the defenders still made profits. Not a whole lot but why would defenders of a "raid" profit anyhow? And why would you want raids to be EXACTLY THE SAME as a PC attack, when you can still just launch a PC attack?
Because at the moment, they ARE PC attacks.
Exactly the same. If you don't show up, they can take the district. That isn't a raid, it's a full blown attack.
Attacks are met with a full team, in proto, ready to defend their district. Only to see a rag-tag team of pubbies with Apex or MLT gear running around with their heads cut off.
To us, its an Ambush OMS game with crappy payouts. To the Raiders, its a typical pub with better payouts.
I don't play PC to fight teams in MLT gear with the intention of losing. I play PC to have an actual challenge, because pubs are a joke.
Raiding right now is not a healthy mechanic for PC at all. It needs to be changed. Not destroyed, but changed. To something where both the raiders and defenders have something to gain or lose from doing so.
PC was supposed to be high risk, high reward. Well, right now it isn't. The raids have no risk, eh reward. The defenders have high risk, no reward.
And some people think this is okay.

KDR is a good statistic when determining the skill of a player though. I use it all the time when processing apps for FA.
Long story short: You want a good KDA for PC. Not dying is half the game, the other half is killing the other team. 2.0 is efficient, it means that you are worth 2 players on average (Since the ideal average K/D is 1.0). Cross reference with WP per week and W/L and you can sum up just how much of a "Team Player" an application is.
You also check monthly totals as well, mainly to check activity. Right now, I look for people with 2.0 K/D+ and a good W/L ratio. This typically means that they can carry their own weight, and know how to win games (Which typically means they are squadding with others).
Obsessing over K/D is bad, but its still a decent statistic to be familiar with.
For those who are wondering, my weekly is at 3.12ish

Agreed. What do you have in mind?
Two mechanics, designed to prevent farming, but intended to reward defenders for winning raids, and secure no-shows.
1.) Add a flat ISK bonus to any clone killed in a dropsuit. That ISK bonus is equal to the CLONE VALUE. This ensures that the only time you get ISK from clones is from killing them in the fight. Any excess clones from the raid do not count towards this reward.
2.) Attacker has to front "X" ISK to attack. ISK is refunded so long as total clone deaths on one side >= 100. If not, the ISK gets split into 16 and given to defenders. This is to ensure that people who no show can't do so for free.
In short: Defenders get payouts for clone destroyed, even if the opponent runs crap gear. Please note, this applies to the RAIDERS as well. More ISK for everyone involved = Happy defenders and raiders.
No shows now pay the defender for their time and vigilance. The 100 clone cap is twofold effective. Raiders now have a clone limit to reach. If they don't burn through 100 clones (Which is really freaking easy to do with 16 people), they lose the ISK they fronted. So long as they burn through 100 clones, the attack is still free. Win-Win again for both sides.
If the attackers no show, they lose that ISK, and the defenders get it. The 100 clone limit is to make it difficult to farm ISK. You would have to send ~6 people suiciding non-stop in the match to try and farm the ISK from it without losing the ISK yourself. Truth be told, farming might still be possible like this, so a more elegant solution might be necessary. However, if someone were to farm it, they would literally need lots of alts doing nothing but dying over and over in free suits. The effort would be real.

Obsessing over K/D is bad, but its still a decent statistic to be familiar with. For those who are wondering, my weekly is at 3.12ish I know what you're saying, been in STB for four years now, the big difference between us and other corps of the time was the the 'anyone can apply, as long as you're willing to learn' mentality. This opened the corp to many new players, and I know for a fact that many great vets, here and gone, were made into fps ass whoppers not because they always were but because we taught them how to be. STB is a family that I'm proud to be apart of, we've been through much together. We raised money for a young, now old, STB's college fund. We got guys who was struggling with money back on their feet. We supported our CEO when his newborn was sick. And If it wasn't for STB I would have died, twice. That's why when I see guys being pushed away just because they're not FPS gods it makes me cringe, alot of these guys just need training, training that older players refuse to give in favour of stomping their faces in. Just my two isklets.
Yeah, but that's the difference between FA and STB.
STB is a gaming family. I've been a part of groups like that, its the game that brings people together. Sense of community is strong.
FA is well, FA. Most of us are crazy, like winning and competing, and find far too much humor in trolling each other than we should. FA was formed with the idea of being a top tier competitive corp and that's the bar for entry. If we deny your app based on K/D, its because you won't be able to PC with us and we know you probably won't like the fact that most of the corp won't play with you if you're bad (Remember the competitive and like winning part? Nobody likes dragging around a dead weight.). I don't hold it against them though, everyone who gets into FA knows what they're signing up for. Perform or GTFO. The only ones we keep that are bad are personal friends.
We do scouting too, but we don't try to pick up and teach people brand fresh new. We try to pick up those who already know how to play, and have the skills/potential to succeed. I was scouted by FA from being a nobody, and so was Frost Kitty and several others. It doesn't happen often, but we still do so. I've seen some new guys in corp that I've never played with or heard of before. I still squad with them and play with them, because they're in here for a reason. It's my job to bring them up to speed when I can.
I'm not saying that every corp or group or clan should be like this, just that they can exist as well. Every corp does not need to be made for everyone.
STB from what it sounds like, reminds me of the first gaming clan I was in. The Evil Gang was a BF1943 clan originally and spanned out over the years. Very strong sense of community, almost anyone was welcome. They're still going strong 5 years later. I've always kept my EVL tags (Check my PSN one day, or even my Steam account), because I've always felt like I should never forget those roots.
I may enjoy winning and competing far more than I did starting out, but I make a point to never let K/D or winning get in the way of having fun. Every now and then, FA goes and does goofball stuff just to have fun (Like when we all ran nothing but MLT Locus grenades. Harder to kill with than it sounds, you only get one and it's 300 damage).
Get my drift Sin? I love the fact that STB is like that, It reminds me of my first gaming clan. But not every clan needs to be like it, and having different values isn't something that you should hold against another group. Remember, Bronies probably have just as much fun at conventions as Outdoor enthusiasts. Who's to hold it against them?
EDIT: We kinda went off topic a bit. In short: For certain corps of different intentions and inclinations, K/D can be a valuable stat to track.

Truth be told, farming might still be possible like this, so a more elegant solution might be necessary. However, if someone were to farm it, they would literally need lots of alts doing nothing but dying over and over in free suits. The effort would be real. Honestly I dislike these two ideas. Free PC battles by CP for corps that don't have districts is a good thing. Sure there is an issue with no shows, but giving more ISK to defenders with districts is unnecessary. Many new corps would never kill 100 clones versus a good corp. The new split what you kill is a much better reward mechanic for PC's and prevents abuse. No showing also seems like a valid grief method :) As it is, you do get paid DK for noshows... and maybe one day it'll be worth something.
I think you are misinterpreting.
These mechanics are for raids. If a raiding group attacks a district, they pay "X" ISK up front as "collateral". If they LOSE 100+ clones and the match, the ISK is refunded. If they win, ISK is refunded. This entices the raiders to try and cause as much damage as possible, as they need to lose 100 clones to not lose ISK. This encourages AGGRESSION from the raiders. Their goal will be to try and take down as many enemies as possible, or to win the objective match through straight body count. Both teams benefit from the extra "Clone Tax" as the defenders now get ISK for defending, even if the other team uses low level gear. The Raiders also get more ISK per clone as well. It's a win-win.
So, with these changes: Here is what happens in raids
1.) Raiders get more ISK and more incentives to try and either Win or cause as much damage as possible. If they show up and actually fight, the attack is still free.
2.) Defenders get ISK for showing up to their defense in the form of ISK for every enemy clone killed. Only clones killed in COMBAT count. They now have incentive to show up and put as many enemies down as they can.
3.) No showers now are penalized for launching attacks and not showing up. They lose the ISK collateral, which then goes to the defender, as compensation for forming and organizing for the fight without one showing up. If you're going to attack, you had better mean it.
I literally don't see how these changes could be bad, apart from possible exploits for farming. The core of the ideas are to make raids beneficial for BOTH teams if played correctly.
EDIT:
Oh, and this tidbit.

Not dying is half the game, the other half is killing the other team. 2.0 is efficient, it means that you are worth 2 players on average (Since the ideal average K/D is 1.0). Cross reference with WP per week and W/L and you can sum up just how much of a "Team Player" an application is. Obsessing over K/D is bad, but its still a decent statistic to be familiar with.
Would my stats get me qualified or rejected to FA?
Read FA's corp description, I wrote it myself.
All questions answered there.

The reason Raids are low quality at the moment is because Raids are still being fought on landowner's terms. Of course the Veteran PC Elite find themselves bored by attacks like those from Jadek. Given their massive upperhand, it would be impossible for them to be anything but bored.
This is why we need true Raid mechanics.
Give low-end corps the chance to catch high-end corps off-guard or spread thin. Giving the little guys a shot at evening the odds is the most obvious and direct path to better fights. How else could we simultaneously achieve better fights and greater accessibility?
Listen and repeat after me.
PC HAS NEVER BEEN MORE ACCESSIBLE THAN NOW.
You get FREE attacks on districts if you have active members.
You can buy PROTO suits without aurum using nothing but LP.
Seriously, the bar for entry has never been lower. You can literally have 16 people who don't even have proto run a PC RISK FREE (Short of paying for suits).
And you guys are WASTING it. Why the hell are you attacking ESTABLISHED PC CORPS?
Go after the low hanging fruit. http://www.dustcharts.com/
Go to districts search, sort by clone counts. Oh look, Crazy Bad Boys has an open district at 144 clones with 6 PEOPLE IN THE FREAKING CORP. Hell, FA just took a district a few days ago because Terra Nova left a district with 0 clones on it. Free district, didn't even fight over it.
There is only 245 Districts in Dust514. There is LIMITED ROOM in PC. It isn't for everyone.
You want in, get some initiative and stake a claim.
I remember when we had to run Aurum gear to be competitive, back when I didn't have proto. We had to do corp taxes to pay for PC's and our tankers. You guys are being handed accessibility to PC on a silver freaking platter and are wasting it by making stupid decisions.
If you want to get into the world of boxing, you don't try to pick a fight with Mohammed Ali right off the bat and complain that nobody can get into the sport. You start with easier opponents and work your way up.

Who you attack isn't necessarily who shows up.
Who on earth has the ISK to pay for the same team to show up and fight for them time and time again?
With these BS mechanics, all you have to do is run crap gear the moment you see a ringer team. They get nothing.
Repeat until they don't show up. Fight for real.
And as for facing ringers, that's why you pick on the nobodies. If you consistently face the same team, it's probably a farm corp for another larger corp. Just go after someone else.
I don't think CCP is going to limit PC's to just the corp involve anytime soon, and once again, it was something we still had to deal with back then as well.

The fact farming corps exist at all tells me there are problems. Hopefully this will change.
I'm behind the time.
Talked to Himiko. Farm corps are practically dead, not worth the time/effort/whatever. Which means that corp I listed is probably a really good place to attack.
You should raid it.

The pros (at least some of them) are getting frustrated. Players like Ghost want good fights and definitely don't enjoy wasting their time. All things held constant, the pros may eventually tire of showing up everyday to defend their farmlands if it isn't any fun to do so.
You left out a part of it. Farmland basically doesn't exist anymore. The only corp I know of that even SOMEWHAT qualifies is Capital Acquisitions. They have 2 planets full of districts, aren't attacking anyone, not selling clones, and not even fighting their own battles (OH fields them all for some freaking reason). I talked to several people from corp (Who are a bit more up to speed on the state of PC than me), and they said farm land just isn't viable anymore. THIS IS A GOOD THING.
In order to make ISK, you have to own land, and sell the clones. This doesn't lock the district, and leaves you more vulnerable.
You can't lock districts by packs and farm the ISK from clone genolution now. It doesn't work since they removed getting ISK from clones destroyed (Now done by assests).
Now, how do you make ISK in PC now? The more pessimistic would say "You can't" but they're not entirely wrong. If you want to make ISK in PC, you need the following.
1.) A team good enough to defend districts regularly without max clones.
2.) A team good enough to win fights and get ISK through fighting.
3.) A team good enough to discourage pointless attacks that lock your clones.
Then, you have to just sell off batches of 120 clones whenever you get them. You don't just drain districts and lock them until they fill up again. There has to be balance.
You can't sell off too many, as you leave yourself open to an assault. If you sell off too few, you don't get ISK.
As far as I'm aware, this is whats making farm-land not viable. The best way to make ISK to control just enough land that your corp can handle, and skim ISK off the top of your clone count. Which is what FA is trying to do right now. Get districts and start selling off batches of 120 to get paychecks out to our players.
Lord knows I need it. I'm sitting on 3 Mil ISK because I blew it all on skins
In short, its a LOT harder to make ISK in PC now. It's still more lucrative than pubs and FW, but we're slowly inching towards the point where its no longer worth the hassle.
No risk raid spam is certainly not helping that "hassle" part. So long as most of the non-PC community keep living in the "Farmland" past, they will keep screaming to make PC less lucrative.
For crying out loud, check Dustcharts. As of 15:00 EVE, we have 19 locked districts out of 245, and a pretty decently spread out timer list (READ: Easy to launch attacks at any time of day. They used to all be early morning or midday, when almost nobody could field). If you ever want to see how much farming is being done, check how often districts are locked. If there is over 20% lock consistently, it means that farming is viable. We're only at 7% lock districts right now.
Side rant: Heck, there's over 25 districts right now that are OPEN and UNDER 150 CLONES. Seriously, if you want to get into PC, its so freaking easy. You might have to fight Latino lag, but you can still find fights and get in.
If you want to get into PC, USE DUST CHARTS. It's not that hard.

Adipem Nothi wrote:By "farmland" I'm not strictly referring to district locking. I'm referring to what has been in the past the at-rest state of PC. Long periods of (highly profitable) peace punctuated by the occasional conflict. If it makes the most fiscal sense for landowners to blue up or declare cease fire, farming in peace will become their at-rest state. Should a warmongering corp rock the boat or refuse to play ball, push them out and keep them out of farmland.
Everyone wants a paycheck, and everyone gets a bigger paycheck during peace time. If competitive corps are better off not fighting one another, why should they?
I understand what you're getting at, however....
PC is not "HIGHLY PROFITABLE" anymore. I used to get 30 Mil Paychecks every week. That was broken (Granted, I was fighting ~10-12 PC's a week).
I'm not saying that raiding in itself is a bad mechanic. It's an excellent way to check things from getting too peaceful in PC.
However, my problem with it right now is that you DON'T EVEN HAVE TO FIGHT. You can just launch attacks for free and never show up, wasting our time. Or show up in crap gear and make us play Ambush OMS with worse payouts.
As I said earlier, Raiding isn't a bad mechanic, but it needs a more elegant solution. Right now, its an unfun check to stagnant PC. The check is working, but they need to fix the unfun part. ISK for successful defenses and encouragement to keep raiding.
If you can make it a win-win for both sides, THAT is desirable. Non-PC corps (or corps wanting to join in) have the ability to launch attacks and check PC stagnation. If you make it ISK profitable for them to attack, they will KEEP DOING SO. Capitalism.
Making defending those districts and attacks ISK profitable reduces the monotony on the defender as well. Then, we have more reason to show up and defend. Right now, it feels monotonous. "We're only going to defend because if we don't they can take the district". That's literally what it feels like going into a raid. No excitement for a fight, literally going through the motions. Making defending ISK profitable gives another dimension to it. "I'm going to defend our district, and get paid doing so."
Oh hey, look. Suddenly I'm a mercenary. Nobody likes fighting a fight that isn't challenging and unrewarding. That is what needs to change with raiding.

If end-game participants were more interested in challenging fights than making Isk, then there wouldn't be blue donuts, cease fires, or otherwise stagnant play. War would be a constant.
There is ALWAYS a crosspoint between challenge and reward. It changes from person to person. Some people are fine with no challenge, all reward. Others are fine with all challenge, no reward.
However, this does not describe the majority at all. And you can't change the players. In a sandbox, you can't just say "Oh, these guys are only in it for the money, lets get them out". It's a SANDBOX. You don't just knock over someones sandcastle because you don't agree with the reasons why they built it.
You can totally regulate the EFFORT and REWARD in PC though. Right now, in my opinion, Effort/Reward is fairly BALANCED. You can easily turn a decent profit in PC for the effort required to hold and defend land. This does not hold true for RAIDING.
Raiding at the moment is horribly skewed on the Effort/Reward axis. For attackers, its Low Effort, Low reward. You show up, or don't, and just fight with no stress. You can get a pub payout from it. For the defenders, It's High Effort, Low reward. You HAVE to show up, and get almost nothing from it. You also don't get a good fight, because LOL MILITIA GEAR.
Raiding has a place, and its necessary to regulate stagnation in PC, as I've said. It serves as a check to those who like the no challenge, high reward players (Which will ALWAYS exist.). It makes them fight for their land when they would rather not to. This is a good thing.
But to teams who already have their hands full defending and attacking, it serves as a MAJOR annoyance. We're trying to optimize our efficiency here, and there's more fights thrown on top that we get nothing out of. We don't get the challenge we want, and we don't get the reward that makes it worth showing up.
Raiding changes are necessary to keep PC fun and profitable to EVERYONE. Not just the farmers, or the fighters, or the raiders. Changes in PC need to benefit all who are involved. Because its a sandbox. Everyone is in it for their own reasons, and nobody likes to be told that their reasons for being in it are wrong, and then penalized for it.

Told him if he actually goes through with it that I'd help, just wouldn't drop corp for it.
Mobius from FA (BEAST tanker) is on board as well, both us saying that he loses our support if he doesn't drop districts after 100%.
Going for 100% is actually a ton of fun. Fight anyone and everyone, then drop it all at the end and watch people pick up the pieces. Always interesting to see what happens in the sudden power void.

Perhaps raids should be staged on 3 point Skrim maps while full battles are on 5 point maps. That may be our best option considering the problems we've highlighted within both Dom and Aqu.
Yup. Nothing compares to skirmish. It's honestly the only decently balanced game mode in Dust.
Ambush has crappy spawns. Domination is almost always a stomp or be stomped. Acquisition is too easy to abuse and is too new to be completely bug free.
3 point Skirmish for new players. It gives them a homepoint to defend, and a point to contest. Good practice on holding majority points to win a match.
5 point is the real deal. Holding 3/5 is MUCH harder than 2/3. Typically boils down to holding homepoint and either
a.) Two points close to eachother
b.) Their homepoint and one easily defended objective.
It's also much harder to anticipate the flow of battle in a 5 point. 3 point is fairly linear. Hold their homepoint and ours, or a homepoint and city.

Exactly.
Besides, the best suit for PC sprint starts is either a 3x Kincat Min Scout (For distances under 400ish meters) or a 2x Kincat 1x Cardiac Min Scout (For over 500m).
We did the math AGES ago for when it was more feasible to run a cardiac instead of multiple kincats, and I think that 400-500m was the cutoff point.

If I'm not mistaken, Rattati has since shuffled Stamina Pool and Regen values. Pretty sure than MN Scout Stamina Pool took a hit. I read somewhere that a 4x Red AM Scout now covers long distances faster than 3x Red MN Scout, 3x Red + 1x Green GA Scout or 4x Red GA Scout. Have not tested / confirmed. May be a good time to repeat some of our old tests :-) This is a good point. Don't forget to also factor in hack speed though, which is another reason why Min scout will have an advantage. Who cares how fast you get to the point, if another suit can get to the point a second slower, but finish the hack two seconds faster. Hmmm wild idea just popped into my brain - what if there was a game mechanic that modified the null cannons' rate-of-fire? Could be related to mods (codebreakers perhaps) or could be related to how many mercs take part in a hack. /wildidea
In all reality, its all pretty non-advantageous.
The difference normally isn't enough to garner an advantage. In PC, scouts are on the ground first, but dropships arrive at just about the same time.
The real purpose of running both dropships and runners is so that you get links on ground and high ground simultaneously, making it hard to push you out right from the start. If they go for high links, you spawn ground and rush, or vice versa.

Otherwise a nice place to live. Strong economy, low crime rate, great food, peculiarly high ratio of pretty women per capita. This kind of thing doesn't happen around here or in the South in general.
Is there a list with this statistic on it?
I need to know. For Science.

He has had multiple threads asking for fitting advice over various suits.
Minmatar Assault, and now the scout. I gave advice for the Assault, and he decided to go and forgo most advice and pick and choose what he though he liked best, ignoring the reasoning why we built those suits a certain way.
Combine that with my Min Scout Armor rage, and you get that post I made. The link I gave has TONS of advice on how to fit multiple suits. Still helpful, even if the delivery was sub-par.

Now you lose the ISK. So people decided to show up to fights to harvest the genolution of the clones.
Then they removed that. So now people just don't lock anymore. Unless you are, of course, scared out your mind that you might lose the district.

Hopefully /r/buildapc can help. If not, I'll take it to a local shop and let them handle it. I don't want to destroy what I have.

Flaylock is for scouts that try to get too close. Well that's the fit I used to run before I picked up knives. The struggle in that is that the min assault can do that almost as fast but with way more hp. Plus I started Min scout back in the day before ewar was a thing and there were no flays or CRs and dampening wasn't a thing. LOOK I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE TELLING ME HOW TO FIT MINMATAR.

You have to confirm.
Also: If you change your mind after biomassing, you can ticket CCP to restore your clone. I'm fairly certain that all assets disappear, but I think the SP stays.
But why Biomass? There's literally no reason to. It's like watching a kid get benched on a baseball team, and then quit while tearing up his uniform.

Arma is fun.
Played my first mini-op today.
Spent 10 minutes getting to LZ.
Dismount, slowly clearing rooms.
OH F*CK A CHOPPER.
Team gets royally screwed over. My legs and arms are all torn to sh*t. Passing in and out constantly while they attend to people in more serious need. Note, that I can't talk to them while passed out, our comm system disables it. I can kinda hear them in bursts when I regain conciseness.
Finally get brought back up. Chill for a bit to get my bearings, start helping other guy when the medic that got me up gets dome'd. "Medic Down" I say with a kinda defeated tone, as I drag him away from where he was to get him out of fire.
We finally get everyone back up and running, minus medic and one other dude. Start clearing out hangers.
Chilling on the corner, giving cover for people in the hanger when I hear an engine. Ask the guy next to me "Hey, do you hear that?"
Dude comes running across the corner (Yelling "FRIENDLIES INCOMING" so I wouldn't light him up.). As he clears the corner he's just screaming "F*CKING TANK GET THE F*CK BACK".
We run. We get like 10m. Dude dies, my legs are torn to sh*t AGAIN and third person plays dead. After a bit, we get me up on my feet. Separated from squad with messed up radios (As we found out later, we just thought everyone else was dead), we slowly start to make our way to the exfil zone.
Just two of us. We can only clear so well. I cover her while she darts across, yells for me to go. I follow, get to the corner and get shot, screaming "I'M HIT" as I go down (Arma makes you go prone if hit while sprinting).
Guess what? Legs f*cked up. AGAIN. Whatever, tourniquet that sucker again, we need to get moving. Except we're out of tourniquets. Drags me to the chopper.
Finally find the civilians (Near a medivac chopper ironically). All KIA. We done messed up. Fix my legs and stabilize me at chopper. Exfil and debrief.
So, to debrief properly, we all need to suicide and respawn. I didn't know that. People are messing around and shooting AT rockets at random crap and my ears are ringing from all the grenades. I can't hear them yell at me to respawn. So they try to teamkill me. Emphasis on try. I got shot in the head at least twice before I realized that they wanted me to respawn. Respawn myself.
First words out of my mouth "Sorry, I couldn't hear you over all the grenades being thrown at me".
First words out of the medics mouth "Dude, wtf, how were you still alive. You wouldn't die all freaking Op"
In summary: Shot nobody, wasted a few clips of ammo. Spent a lot of time passed out or getting ready to. Shot and almost killed 4 times.
10/10
Can't wait for my next operation.

Llast 326 wrote: Wow that sounds really fun, and immersive.
It really is. I got messed up by backblast after the debrief (We were screwing around).
Someone launched a SMAW and neglected to follow procedure. First you ask "CLEAR?" to make sure that nobody is behind you. You don't fire until you hear "ALL CLEAR" and THEN you shoot.
Well he didn't. I was behind him. Was really funny to watch him turn around after shooting, and look at my dead body. Goes "Oh sh*t", and then salutes.
Anyways, with mods, the game is super freaking immersive. Everything from wind to weapon jams. We use a mod that turns teamspeak into mock radio. You can hear with proxy chat, but you can also use short range or long range radio (With falloff!) so long as you are all queued into the same frequency.
Combine with an AMAZING medical mod, and you got some realistic "fun" to have. I had to keep getting blood and plasma injections every 15 minutes due to my horrendous injuries (And the fact that we HAD to keep moving). You can use morphine to cleanse pain, and then use epinephrine to get their heart rate up if they go into shock.
It's crazy. There is a reason why the Unit I went into made me clear a rifle range and Basic Infantry Knowledge. I took tests and still felt unprepared.

I can run Ultra at 30FPS in single player. I probably get around 25ish on Very High in Multiplayer. Draw distances are huge, and that plays a large factor. I think at default, it draws up to around 2.8 km out.

Slayer team > scout team Not exactly. There is more to PC than kill. Like, links, and hacking. That's why we won, a few good hack got us the win. 2 from me, in my scout. Regardless, let us watch what we say. At least take it to the War Room. This is a post for scouts, about scouts. Not petty arguments, like the one we had earlier. Me, rexero, Bell GATOR (jap) and Nega Matix ran a fee matches...faced with mass drivers and shotgun scouts we cloned them all running assaults. Bell ran scout one match but mainly assault. Scouts die real easy and are screwed with their broken Ewar. They can't kill as good as assaults can. Assault squad > scout squad
Yeah, scouts only work in high target areas with good distractions.
I only run scout in PC when I'm in city (Lots of cover and good chaos), or when I need to speed hack something.
Bridge map? Assault, all day. Typically my Cal Assault, because range.

Runs Arma pretty well, I'm sure a GTX 980 and an i5-4690k would be able to run it fantastically. I was going to roll an i7 but I decided to hold back and see what happens with Intel's Skylake chips. I will mos def be doing 64GB DDR4 to start. As far as video.. I guess titan Xs, but if I can hold off a bit longer I would to see the new chips from NVidia, but that will be next year So not exactly a rush... I am making due with a pretty BAMF mac for the time being.
64 GB DDR4? CHRIST, are you trying to render the world with that thing? Also, I can't think of any real use for DDR4, not a lot of Mobo's support it.
I'm guessing you do lots of video editing if you're going to try for that much RAM. Screw my budget build, yeah grab a Titan X and never look back.
Yeah, get a kickass build. Best I could come up with only supports 32 GB RAM though.

Pick your case and cooling systems, but still this thing would be a MONSTER.
EDIT: Noticed your edit.
If you can find a motherboard that supports 64 GB DDR4 RAM go for it. I don't like to mess with the super high end stuff, most of it seems too experimental for my liking. For example: 2+ TB HDD's. Things get wonky after 2 TB, or so I've heard.

Total build wattage was around 470W IIRC, so you have a bit of headroom. 750 is what you want though.

Arma update 2.
Did another mini-op, since we don't do the large ones until the weekend.
Simple patrol mission. Humvee column with a car to protect. Retrieve supplies, get back to base.
Learned how to cover sectors in a column and spot ambushes. They put me on the gun in the front car
So, we basically spotted ambushes just in time to drive right into them guns blazing. I think there was only one where we managed to detect and set up from a distance and do work with the 50 cals.
Was overall pretty fun. Got shot a lot, never died, again. Actually managed to take down around 5 or 6 targets myself.
When all but me and squad lead was injured, I worked with him to clear a town by ourselves. Was pretty fun. Lots of covering and moving smart.
We actually failed the mission because we got "Arma'd". Driving on a road, hit a tiny bump and blew all 8 of our military grade wheels at once. We said "SCREW IT" after that and called in a chopper to get the goods. We were pretty done afterwards, since we kept losing people to disconnects or just having to leave.
Still pretty fun, learning a lot as I go.

Still pretty fun, learning a lot as I go. Dude! I started checking out youtube videos of Arm.. it looks so fun. Can you knife other players? Also- keep it coming. Can you capture?
Depending on the mods, you can have knives. Group I'm in doesn't. We like to shoot people BEFORE it gets to knife range.
If stealth is needed, they use their Special Ops forces, who typically like to just dome the guy with a silenced pistol.
There isn't true "Capture", like objective control. This is Arma. No little spinny objective light and points after having enough people there. You capture a point by sitting people on it and shooting anyone who tries to take it. You have no way of knowing if an enemy controls a point other than observation. Which is why we have sniper teams and reconnaissance. There are "capture" game modes, however. Invade and Annex is one, where a large group attempts to capture the entirety of Altis at once.
Maps are huge. You aren't told where you are on a map, I hope you brought a GPS or know where you are via landmarks. All locations are given through bearings and co-ordinates. Altis is huge, clocking in at almost 270 km2. Stratis is the smaller sister island, and is only 20 km2.
There are no carebears in Arma. Just the well trained and the dead. As an example, I'll use yesterdays mini op. We tried driving through an ambush, when my driver yelled "HIT" and I heard one of our tires pop. Since nobody else can hear us, I have to go to my radio to tell the convoy. We bring ourselves off the street and park in front of a house for cover. GTFO and set up defenses.
So the car we are protecting hung back when it heard ambush. The other humvee came up to support. They dismount and engage on foot as well (Humvee's are actually sh*t for protection. Bullet proof glass my ass.).
We decide to try and bug out with the other squad as support. Hop in gunner spot, waiting for driver. About 10 seconds pass. I hop out and sure enough, driver is dead next to car. Well sh*t. Squads break off, and they send the medic to us.
Now it gets interesting, we are both in cover, and there is enemies around, but we aren't really sure WHERE. I see movement from the north and yell contact and start firing. Drop target, all good. We connect with other squad via radio and then inform each other of our positions to avoid friendly fire. I mention more movement to the north and ask if we have friendlies in that area. Negative, open fire.
Chaos and confusion are only beaten by training and communication. No carebears here, marksmanship is mandatory. Idiots aren't allowed on ops. You play smart and careful or you get yourself and the whole team killed.
I love it. I don't have to deal with idiot blueberries anymore

WHY THE HELL IS 153 MS PING CONSIDERED NORMAL?!?! I think "average" is the important word here For example 2 people with ~40 ms 1 guy with ~100 ms 1 guy with ~500 ms Average = 170 ms.. That's the problem with "average" and "statistically" There's a "saying" here. Ass in the fridge, head in the oven, but statisically your 36.6 degrees hot ;)
Yeah, but in other games, people with high ping get kicked and encouraged to play in the right regional server.
I want to see mean, meadian, mode, and range for ping on these serves. I bet you the range is absolutely INSANE.

Totally agree, although I'm quite sure if you kicked all the lagging players that would cut half of the player base ;)
Haha, get real.
Dust only has around 400 players. The other 2600 are all bots.

My thoughts exactly! Every thing else has a little play. Those drummers have to be dead-on ... and half of 'em aren't wearing their monitors/headsets! Really cool video.
If you looked, the conductor had lights below him clicking the beat.
They apparently did tons of auditions, and since they were all decent musicians, they did their homework. They said on a reddit AMA that it REALLY helped that all the drummers were pretty solid.

Hate to say it, but if we are going to eventually port Dust would probably be better off on PC. Free to play games - it is up to the developer of the game if they want to require ps plus to access multiplayer or not. So far I hadn't seen a single one require it. (When taking about free to play games) Have a few people on my list that only play free to play games and they have said they probably won't ever get ps plus again because all they play is the free to play stuff. (Warframe, warthunder, planetside2)
Warthunder and PS2 are also on PC as well.
Along with Dirty Bomb, TF2, and really cheap steam games.
Seriously, I should have made to move to PC years ago, this thing is awesome.

Mini-OP 3 : Black Hawk Down
Outline for Op: Load into C-130 Black Hawk for paradrop. (C-130 was bugged to hell for some reason, Op name was changed for this ) Paradrop at night at rendezvous point around 1km out from city. Move into city, head to mosque to rescue POW's. Once mosque is secure, provide cover for POW Exfil, followed by exfil for squads. Debrief.
So, I've never paradropped before. Totally cool though, the other recruits had not either. We all get a brief run down of how it works. Interior light is red for prep, green for drop. On Green, the man closest to the outside of the chopper drops. You wait "Four One Thousand" to pull chute. After some drops, you wait 4-one-thousand to drop yourself, cycle continues until chopper is empty.
Control speed to hit ground at ~10 km/h, brace legs for impact. Radio that you dropped with status (If you did it wrong, you'd mess up your legs).
My drop goes just fine. We are told to rendezvous at blue chemlight. Get on hill, spot chemlight and head up, radioing direction so I don't get shot.
We form up and get into a column to head into town. Almost IMMEDIATELY run into patrol. We have a brief firefight on the hill, with me sticking close to another recruit. Good for him actually, he doesn't know how to patch wounds. I do because I read the entire medic training doctrine. I patch him up, and he covers me while someone else who knows how to medic comes and helps me.
We form back up, send a two man to the north to do light recon and head out. Moving in staggered column again, we move until I spot a Car. Radio call car with direction, whole column goes prone and investigates. Then someone f*cks up.
Fun fact: Laser lights show up REALLY WELL on Infrared/Night Vision. Which most of us were wearing. Including the enemies. He shines his freaking laser light AT THE CAR.
Thing stops. We basically all know whats going to happen at once. SL just screams "FIND HARD COVER" and we book it. I don't have much near me, so crawl to a tree. Dude behind me has NOTHING and gets lit up. After we get cover, SL instructs us to head to compound SW for regroup. I look at poor dude behind me, He's hurt BAD, and in clear line of fire. Truck is still there. Taking him with me would kill us both. I leave him.
Sprint up the hill, zig zagin like crazy. Regroup on hill, I help SL clear out the compound buildings. Regroup, get in contact with North squad and they provide cover as we move up.
Run into north team up the road to push in to city. We know they're friendlies. We even radio it in. Someone still shot them. Damn recruits (I say that like I'm not one ). Get him back up on feet, hit more contacts, slowly work our way into city.
Squads split again, 2 man squad to provide overwatch. We move NW into city. Then sh*t hits the fan.
Contacts EVERYWHERE. North squad reports heavy contact. SL and one other go to reinforce. Plex (My FTL), takes my fireteam and we keep heading NW to get to mosque and pull fire. Then Plex goes down, "No amount of bandages will fix this down".
Radio in that FTL is down. Silence.
Oh great. Time to step up.
Ask for a radio check from any who can hear, give status as well.
A few checks later, and yup. Everyone is down except for 3 recruits and 2 privates. And the privates are beta as hell.
So I take command. We move up slowly, heading to the mosque. Get pinned down by heavy fire, start fighting. We do pretty well, until the guy in the back got shot. I pull back from cover to go bandage him and see a target at the same time he sees me. I win the fight, but I'm f*cked up. So, for the record, the only two people who know how to bandage people properly are wounded.
I start to work on him, and he passes out. Bandage his wounds, but don't have time to administer morphine and epi until I PASS OUT.
And now for one of the funniest moments of the night. Other guys clean up targets. They come back and find us. I can hear them, but I can't talk.
It's like listening to freaking witch doctors. They had NO IDEA how to patch me up. Now, the OTHER guy is fine, he's just passed out from pain. He comes in and out of consciousness, and every time he wakes up, he says "I NEED MORPHINE".
Finally, Operation leader has some mercy. He lets a few guys spawn back in with fresh med kits. I get back on my feet, and then get my buddy up.
Push into Mosque. Long story short, Johnson and I get killed by a drive by 50 cal, and allowed to respawn because there is only a handful of people left (Started with around 9, down to 3 by the end.) Note this is the first time I've died in an operation ever. My wound/death ratio is insane.
More in next post.

Get pinned down at the door to mosque, I provide overwatch. Light some guys up, happy fun time. Run down to reinforce. Someone forgets 360 degree security, get flanked and wounded. Patch us both up. Peek around corner, find sniper. We use smoke to push up and kill him from cover.
Now the fun part. We have to go through the front of the mosque now. We are fairly certain they are watching the front. FTL says to push in after I hear the boom, he tosses a flashbang.
I run up. It wears off JUST as I almost hit cover. Go down, light up front door from prone position (they can't see me since they're standing behind the door with a windowhole.).
Team runs up. I'm hurt so bad it isn't funny. They spend a minute or two and 20+ bandages getting me up. Can't run, legs are messed up. Push into building, enemy throws a bad frag and kills most of the POW's by accident. FTL throws a bad frag into the room (Now that everyone important is dead) to kill target. Bad frag, ends up basically in my face. We are in a single column in a passageway made for 1 person at a time. I don't have time to get out of the way.
I TAKE THAT SH*T LIKE A CHAMP.
FTL: Uh... Kaisar. You okay?
Me: No.
FTL: Can you move?
Me: Yup.
FTL: What the hell.
So they clear room and ready for exfil. Hop on chopper, they bandage me tight. Lost a ton of blood though.
On our way back, we're chatting about the mission and stuff. Then I hear my heartbeat. Oh no, that means I'm about to pass out.
Mention I'm about to pass out, they can't hear me over chopper and conversations.
I pass out.
They keep talking for a bit, then someone notices. "Oh sh*t, Kaisar passed out. Yo, hurry up and get to base".
They land, I fall out the chopper right as we land, get dragged to suppy crate. Pilot comes to help with medical. And now for the funniest moment I've ever had in Arma.
"What the hell happened to this guy, he's a mummy with all these bandages"
"Uh, he got hit by a lot of fire and a grenade or two"
"How the hell is he still alive? Hell, he was even AWAKE for half the chopper ride"
"Ugh, he needs morphine and more bandages"
"GOT IT"
"GOT IT
"..."
"Wait did we all just apply morphine to him?"
"Yeah"
"Yup"
"SH*T, you're gonna kill his heart rate. Start CPR and get him some Epi."
"DON'T DIE ON US KAISAR"
"Screw it, get him a PAK"
For those who don't know, PAK's are Personal Aid Kits. Takes about 2 minutes, but it basically fully heals someone. The 2 minute struggle is where the worry is though".
"Check his heart rate and BP every 30 seconds, do CPR if he needs it. Don't give him Epi or Morphine though, he's had enough already, don't want to overload his system."
So I get 2 minutes of being told to hang on and told how long it will take to finish.
It works, I get up and start laughing my ass off at the whole situation.
10/10. Half the fun in Arma is the stuff that happens in between firefights and operations.
Can't wait for the FULL OP on Saturday. Gonna have around 30-40 people all doing this together.

If you want to be serious, replace the Myos with more Shield; Myos don't help at all, and they can often be more trouble than they're worth. #tryhard #hpstackftw #nofunallowed Hah! If you wanna be serious, use a Gal or Cal scout. Min scouts are for knives. /brandishes knives Say that one more time, I dare you. You disagree? If you're gonna use a shotgun, cal and gal is better because you're wasting the knives bonus otherwise.
For shotgunning, I put the suits as follows
Gal > Min > Cal > Amarr
You want speed and damps. Gal can be fast, damped AND tough. Min can only be fast and damped. Cal is damped. Amarr is just tough and damped.

You missed the bit where Cal exceeds at passive scans. Very useful with a shotgun. Get at least one kincat on there, fantastic shield recharge, better toughness than min. Min has to work so hard just to get useful EWAR. Honestly don't think Min is viable without knives unless desperate for best hacks.
Listen.
Scanning means sh*t on scouts.
Nobody in PC damps excepts scouts and the rare logi.
Since only scouts damp, you really have no reason to run scans. You would have to be so close for them to effective. Not worth it when you can run HP and survive.
eWAR is dead except for Active Scanners and Dampening. It's kinda sad actually. Your Cal fit would be destroyed. You need both of those lows for damps, otherwise you will be permascanned and destroyed.
Min scout is a great shotgun suit. You just have to abuse your speed and shielding.

Ares 514 wrote:SG Min Scout Findings:
- Decent amount of ISK was lost.
- Advanced fit I came up ended up being same as my NK sprint fit for starting, personally I think more fun can be had with the NK's then SG and it might even be a bit more effective.
- Proto fit did not perform well with three red jars, couldn't fit enough shields to survive being tapped.
- Changed Proto fit to have 2 red and one blue which allowed 3 enhanced shields. Personally found the fit fairly underwhelming. Although it was a sub 90k ISK which is cheap for proto, it didn't perform nearly as effectively as other fits I have. I also found although I could sprint forever, the reduced speed from 3 to 2 reds made me feel like i was going slow in a fitting that need to go faster for it to work. Although you could have some fun and kill some guys in this fit, against any decent players you'd loose a ton of ISK IMO.
Summary, shield and speed tanking a min scout was not very effective for me. Although some players can speed tank, at this time I find it personally under performing. I do wonder if a keyboard mouse combo would work better for speed tanking since you could insta sprint after shooting, however with a ds3 it didn't not work very well.
That is a terrible fit.
Here is the only Min Scout shotgun fit you need.
1 Red solves almost all mobility issues. 2 damps is far more important than speed. What you want is that MASSIVE shield buffer to keep you alive while you sprint away. You have decent regen and delays. You just need enough speed to get around a corner. Once you hit the corner, you will have all the time in the world to do what you want. Sprint down some stairs, set up an ambush, keep running whatever.
You will NEVER dodge bullets with speed in this game. That time is dead.
What you need is 1 red for overall mobility, and to stick close to cover 24/7. Damps so that you don't get permascanned and locked down.

It is sick. Never have to search for anything ever again.
As for the wallpapers, I'll upload my current rotation when I get off work. I just recently updated, contains mostly video game movie, and anime wallpapers, but nothing unbearably weeabo. Just mostly covers of show art or references to shows.

You should check the War Room, Superjoe is kinda giving all of DL a bad name. Wow. I wishI blew my life's load on being good at dust vs say.. something else. Anything else. I wouldn't sweat that. I'd feel hella sorry for him.
Reminds me of the Ghostt Shadoww rant.
"Some people race, some play sports. I play f*cking Dust"
For those who haven't heard the rant, it's still on soundcloud.
I was there for it. 10/10, muted my mic and laughed my ass off.

Christ. That's damn near suicidal.
I typically reset about 5 minutes before a PC, and then can play 1-2 matches out of it before needing to reset again. 3rd match will always be horrible with lag without doing so.
You used to have to load your fits in the warbarge as well to make you load in faster.
Not to mention deleting all your contacts and mails, as well as making sure you didn't have too many channels open.
This is why PC is such a chore.

Scrub, if you were smart you would use the serpent scout with a dren shotgun and Templar Scrambler pistol. Plebe, I am getting a Dren Scout and Shotgun. Serpent Scout is for scrubs. I use my Dren scout when I want easy mode.
I put a dren shotgun and Toxin SMG on my Tiger scout. Throw on two Kincat BPO's and another Shield Extender BPO and you've got one cheap death machine.

In Dropsuit Command I have all scouts and Amarr Ass at lvl 5. Any other suit I use (except for Amarr Hvy) is either lvl 3 or lvl 4.
Most everything in Dropsuit Upgrades is maxed at 5. The only two skills right now that I'd benefit from is bringing Shield Recharging/Regulation from lvl 3 to lvl 5. Only other things to do would be to bring Scanner/Cloak/Uplinks from lvl 3 to lvl 5.
Weaponry skills, if it is a Light Weapon I use regularly, Operation is lvl 5 and most support skills are lvl 3 or higher. The same goes for Sidearms. Hvy Weapons I don't use too much.
Which leaves Vehicle Command/Upgrades/Turrets. While I don't use vehicles often, I could work more on my Vehicle/Turret upgrades to make going Proto tanks more worth it. I could at least get the fitting skills to go from a decently deadly Gunnlogi to a super deadly Madruger. Plus more LAV goodness, "WHHEEEEE'S!", and explosions.
I'm getting Magsec Prof III just so that the Nanaki's Magsec can get some love.
I've never personally seen someone get a kill with it.
I've been running a basic mSec on a DFly Assault, I had a squadmate remark "You're the first person I've seen actually get kills with a magsec, and a basic one at that."
Surprised honestly. It's basically a mini ARR with far less range. Works great on a Cal Assault though, better than an SMG.

This fit gives you 485 EHP, a 24DB profile, and a 9.35 sprint speed. It is pretty much the perfect fit.
Alternatively, if you're not getting much use out of the RE, consider dropping it and upgrading the Ferroscale to Comlpex, giving you 513 EHP with no movement penalty whatsoever. I've only just come up with that idea recently though, so I haven't had much opportunity to actually test it out yet.
Excuse me while I vomit from seeing armor on a min. scout. It's effectiveness is undeniable. Since unlocking slots, I've got a Minja fit with armour too. The meta has changed, unless someone can tell me the original story of why armour on a min scout is wrong, I think that's probably a tired old story by now :) If you're happy with 24dB and 9.35 m/s, tell me what should go in that third slot? On the ADV suit, you already have to compromise with a basic rifle and an ADV shield extender. Why shouldn't I put armour in that third low? Coz lore? Or something else? Why are people so violently opposed to putting armour on a suit that has hi/lo slot balance? Many other fits don't go with the lore but I don't see people puking over that ;-)
Main reason why armor is bad on a Min Scout:
If you want to be competitive (i.e. Not scanned every 5 seconds) you NEED two dampeners.
So now what? You have 1 low slot left. Let me remind you that you have the HIGHEST BASE SPRINT SPEED IN THE GAME. Kincats are simply too good to pass up on the fit. 1 gets you to 9.35, which is insane compared to most other ground units. Speed and Stealth are the calling cards of the Scout, and the Min scout all the more.
But lets say that you need more health. Why not run armor? Because you only have 1 slot. Throwing on more armor is bad because you don't have a reliable way of regen on it. Base is too low, and reactives slow you down.
Not only that, but the MOMENT you put on a plate, you become a worse version of the Gal scout. Gal scout can run a higher overall HP buffer because of two low slots and higher base HP. He can run a ferro and rep with two damps. Or maybe even a reactive and kincat (my favorite). His regen is high enough to keep him alive, on top of a healthy shield buffer.
On you? It's simply sub optimal. Can you do it? Yeah. Can you do well with it? Probably. But be prepared to get your sh*t pushed in if anyone ever tries to punish you for it. You still can't tank a shotgun shell, and you're now much slower than all the other scouts, for little to no benefit. On the fit you have above? The moment I see armor on you, I'm switching to a damped speed tanked shotgun assault. I can tank a shotgun shell, and am just as damped as you, and faster. You'll get destroyed.
In all honesty, if you want more HP as a scout, go Gal or Amarr. They're the real fighters in the scout world. Min and Cal are more skirmishers. Get in, do damage, get out and regen. Gal and Amarr can practically live on the front lines with high enough armor regen and damps.

To be fair, I've only had their food from 2 or 3 different locations, all within 120 miles. Disappoint every time. Could be that the franchises around here are all owned by the same sammich-ruining a**hole.
Firehouse subs is also very good in the Midwest. Them and JJ are my favorites around here for sub sandwitches.
In my opinion, they're the best for both cost and quality. I'm not going to spend $11 on a sandwitch, but I'll gladly spend $7 if they make it worth it.

IAmDuncanIdaho II wrote:Varoth Drac wrote:I agree with Ghost on Min scout fitting doctrine.
Two complex damps not only puts you under 21 db Gal logi scans, but also under 20db inner scan rings (the most common precision, if I'm not mistaken).
Now, on my advanced fit I run an enhanced + complex damp, which gets me to 20db. Perhaps it would be useful to drop one and go armour, but as someone who can't not run uplinks, I just don't have the PG available. I suspect that with most fits, the PG could be better spent on shields, equipment or weapons, rather than armour.
A kincat is almost always the best option for the third slot. A Codebreaker is a potential option too.
Speed and stealth, as Ghost says, is what a scouts are about. Otherwise you'd be better off with something else. Just wish Ghost would listen to what people are saying a little more. I did say * if you are happy with 24dB and 9.35 m/s* Pretty obvious he doesn't really see much else except end-game, and there's nothing wrong with that, just that's not what was being discussed. The question was, if you're happy with 24dB and 9.35 m/s, what would you put in the 3rd low?*Obviously* that is not an end-game consideration, which is why I made it clear in the first place.
Missed that part. Here's my answer to that.
I'd put in another dampener.
Now I'm even happier.

That is without the varying "extra" numbers of the 100s, only 1000s I will not be satisfied until the main 3 reach a 50k combined total.
Well between these two you only got around 10k left to go.

Marauder preceeded to place second, using only a Thale's. Ramp in first and Ari in third. TBH i have seen very few OG AE players on now....and even less AE that have gun-game tbh. Some from PFB I see are in AE, other than those and the OG AE guys everyone else is tarnishing there name. But Marauder is back, hopefully he shakes off that rust and gets used to how we have no E-war
He's fine without it.
Back when scouts were trash, he actually used an Amarr Assault with a shotgun.

Pseudogenesis wrote:Cloak buffs?!?! YES! I will definitely look into this.
Make the cloak into a perfect visual camouflage.
Literally invisible standing still.
Barely distorted moving.
Largely distorted sprinting (But still less visible than it is right now).
Buff total charge, increase drain with speed. Skill provides recharge bonus.
Weapons CANNOT be fired from cloak. You must MANUALLY deactivate it (Which then requires you to switch weapons.)
You can keep the decloak and cloak sounds. Knowing that someone is around is healthy, but they still don't know where you are.
Scouts can couple this cloak with proper dampening to become VERY hard to pin down without powerful scans. If a large force is moving through, they can stand still and keep cloaked long enough for them to pass. Right now, if you have the misfortune of having a large group run by you, you HAVE to risk running it. They very well might stick around longer than your charge. New changes make it easier to slowly and carefully maneuver away from danger.
While I have my wishlist out:
Buff scan range modules. I want meaningful passive scans again on scouts.
Cloaking reduces scan range by 100%. I wish I could underline this twice. Its an escape and movement tool. Not an observation one (At least outside of comm chatter).
Not sure about the numbers, but I would like 2x precision scouts to be able to pick up most scouts in the inner ring again (not sure about the range on that). Would make it useful to carry a Cal scout around to sniff out cloaked damped scouts again.
I'm trying to tailor these to make sure the follow happens:
A.) Cloaks are properly used escape and infiltration tools
B.) Re-introduction of useful eWAR without going back to permascan days.
C.) Giving incentive to upgrade cloak to 5 and use it on scouts again.
I'll be honest. I don't run the cloak anymore. At all.
I run uplinks and RE's.
Because cloaks won't keep you alive (Against smart opponents), and the team can use my uplinks and RE's even when I'm dead.
Ghost out.
EDIT:
Oh, and fluxes disable cloaks.
That is all.

Did that senior year as well.
Try the Nuzlock challenge. Lots of fun on an emulator.
RULES:
Any Pok+¬mon that faints is considered dead, and must be released or put in the Pok+¬mon Storage System permanently.
The player may only catch the first Pok+¬mon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pok+¬mon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances. If the first encounter in the area is a Double Battle in dark grass, the player may choose which of the two Pok+¬mon they would like to catch.
While not exactly a definite rule, the general consensus is that players must also nickname all of their Pok+¬mon, for the sake of forming stronger emotional bonds.
Also not a definite rule, but the general consensus is that a black out/white out is considered to be "game over", even if there are Pok+¬mon left in the PC.
Strongly implied, though not explicitly mentioned in the comic, is the stipulation that the player can use only Pok+¬mon they have captured themselves, meaning traded Pok+¬mon, mystery gifts, etc., are prohibited. Trading and retrading the same Pok+¬mon (for the purpose of evolving a Graveler, for example) is something of a gray area, and may fall under optional rules.
As of White: Hard-Mode Episode 3, it is implied that the player can accept Pok+¬mon that are received freely from NPCs.
Also strongly implied is a prohibition against voluntarily resetting and reloading the game when things go wrong. Being able to do so would render all of the other rules pointless.
OPTIONAL RULES
Starter Pok+¬mon is based off the player's Trainer ID number. If the last number is 1-3 the player starts with a Grass type, 4-6 is Fire type, 7-9 is Water type, 0 is the player's choice.
Species/Dupes Clause: Adjusting the first encounter rule to prevent the player from having to catch multiple of the same Pok+¬mon, for the sake of variety. Generally this means that the trainer can keep fighting Pok+¬mon in the area until one is encountered that has not been caught yet, which then immediately counts as the first encounter.
As an extension, setting a limit on how much Dupes Clause can trigger in an area. If that limit is reached, no Pok+¬mon can be caught in that area (alternatively; the trainer has to settle for the last allowed duplicate to trigger the clause).
Not officially enforcing the rules until the player has Pok+¬ Balls and can catch Pok+¬mon. For example, the PoochyenaRS/ZigzagoonE that the player has to save Professor Birch from is not counted as the first encounter on the route, and not counting any other encounters as such until they can catch. Likewise, in the games where the rival battle is immediately after getting the starter Pok+¬mon, the "any that faint must be released" rule is not enforced at that time.
Use the same amount of Pok+¬mon as the opponent during a Gym battle or rival battle.
Going to options and making the battle style "set", leaving the player unable to switch out.
Releasing the starter Pok+¬mon after the first wild Pok+¬mon has been caught.
Banning the use of Potions and healing items, relying only on Pok+¬mon Centers for healing.
Banning the use of Pok+¬mon Centers, relying only on Potions and healing items for healing.
Limiting Pok+¬mon Center visits to a certain number per town.
Banning the use of held items.
Limiting the number of Pok+¬ Balls to purchase per Pok+¬ Mart.
Banning the use of Master Balls.
Rather than releasing the Pok+¬mon, it can be permanently boxed, migrated, or transferred with Pok+¬ Transfer should it happen to faint.
The player may not evolve captured Pok+¬mon, but evolved Pok+¬mon may be caught.
Turning the difficulty on to Challenge Mode if playing Black 2 and White 2, which increases the levels of opposing Trainers.
No catching/using Legendary Pok+¬mon.
As a mercy rule, allowing 1-3 "second chances" or revives of fallen team members.
As another mercy rule, if the player runs into a Shiny Pok+¬mon, the player may still catch it, regardless of whether or not it is the first encounter in the area. It also does not need to be released if it faints.
As another mercy rule, each Gym Badge acts as a checkpoint. If the player gets a game over, they can start from when they got their previous Gym Badge.
If the player has no Pok+¬mon that can use a certain field move that is required to continue through any given point of the game, they may catch another Pok+¬mon that can learn said field move. However, it cannot be used in battle for any reason, and must be released, permanently boxed, or migrated as soon as the player gets another Pok+¬mon that can use said field move.
Modifying the "first encounter only" rule for the Safari Zone, sometimes allowing one encounter for each area, or until they catch one Pok+¬mon in the entire area, and vice versa.
Banning the use of Pok+¬ Marts.
Disallow fleeing.
Setting a level limit based on the next Gym Leader's/Champion's highest leveled Pok+¬mon. What must happen to any team members that surpass that limit before taking on the Gym Leader or Elite Four is up to the player.
Banning Pok+¬ Balls entirely, any Pok+¬mon obtained must be either given to the player or hatched from an Egg.
Banning use of the day care to breed or level up Pok+¬mon.
Turning off the Exp. Share.
Banning use of certain features that make the game easier, such as Pok+¬mon-Amie, the DexNav, or Super Training.
Some of the best fun I've ever had in pokemon.
I underlined the optional rules I used. I did it on Emerald, and I think I might actually do another runthrough now. I never actually finished my last one. Got to Fortree city before life picked up again.

Because of this, matches are decided solely on who hosts the server, in an effort to have the lowest ping.
The server joining metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide PC's.

Or a jump MD PLC which those i don't mind much.
The only practical use for gallente is to avoid duvolle scanners or brick up & grab a rifle & be a slayer scout. I'd honestly rather brick a gallente then to put a shotgun on my min assault. I dont even like saying im a shotgun gallente scout anymore.
MA with SG & REs > GS with SG & REs MA with SG & uplinks > GS with SG & uplinks
For all the people that say 'Gallante scout with SG & REs is OP!' I'd say, 'Min assault with SG & REs is STILL OP even with the movement nerf!' Rant done.
Zor for a fun PC I'd say militia ion pistol only. Maybe with a militia flaylock to go with it. Park, I fully understand what you're saying and I wonder if you're saying it from that PC we had a bit go vs SKILL OF GOD. Didn't help we were 4 man down that battle. Seriously though I was fighting min/gal assaults with Bons SG's... it was ridiculous. I'd hit them then they'd two hit me before i could finish them. Didn't see a single scout on the other side running SG's, only assaults. Then when we went outside almost all of them was running jump fits... sigh, bs for those that say that's not competitive and game breaking in some ways.
Listen and repeat after me: "Scouts are not slaying suits now"
You WILL get destroyed by a shotgun assault if you try to 1v1 to the face. He will tank your shot and kill you.
You wanna pop them? Get the drop on them. They damped? Avoid them, you're still overall faster and harder to pin down.
Your job as a scout nowadays is to destroy uplinks and equipment, flank the target, place your own links, and set up assaults.
Don't think that you need tons of kills to be a good scout. I consider a good scout one with 8-2 and 1.5k WP.

Adipem Nothi wrote:Above average risk. Below average reward. Sound investment?
Hang in there, Park. Keep working on those flanking routes, shenanigans and backstab techniques. I don't think that Rattati subscribes to the "scouts are supposed to be bad" model. If our efficiency relative to other classes is down (and it probably is) I suspect he'll do something about it rather than make excuses for it.
Dust is many things, but first it is a shooter. We're all here to kill things, and if Scouts are overly inefficient enough at killing, I believe changes will be made. So keep doing what you're doing. Or skill GalLogi and ride out the storm with more reward, less effort and far less frustration. Like me ;-)
Logis routinely do well averaging only 2-4 kills in PC.
Scouts aren't bad, just not able to take on tanked assaults suits up front.
I would hate for someone to buff scout HP or something to compensate for the lack of killing. The LAST thing we want is for scouts to become viable slayer suits again.
I think we all hated that time a little on the inside. It was such a mockery of how this game was supposed to be played.

Lol.
Lowsec roaming in EVE.
Pop through a system as forward scout in a fast tackle. I see someone in local say "Hey Ghost Kiasar, I know your Dust account"
MFW
Sadly he did not stick around to fall victim to our Talwar fleet. Just chatted with him as we bounced from gate to gate.
Overall, we had a good roam. I think we got almost a bil in total destroyed, only lost a single talwar.

Ares 514 wrote:So I think this game is finally pay to win.
I know many argued about certain items you could buy etc... but I never really considered it pay to win until this stupid warbarge damage bonus factory. I hated it when they announced it and I still do.
Apparently you can get it to level 8 now which means 9% bonus to damage. It's impossible to get to this level without buying components for aurum. This damage bonus has a large direct impact on TTK in game and directly makes one player stats wise better. Another dark day in Dust.
I wonder if that bonus is applied flat, like the commando bonus.
If so, you could potentially have a commando with 19% increased BASE damage, with the possibility for another 13% with two damage mods.
Throw in some profile bonuses, and things get scary.
I'd do the math, but I'm still entirely sure how it's calculated.
My gut says that It would be lumped into the base, meaning that you would have 19% increase before anything was subtracted.
I checked protofits, but I'm not entirely sure how they calculate things. I work backwords, and my early proofs seem right.
Then I try the whole things and get leagues off of them.
All I know is that 19% increased base damage without stacking penalties is VERY scary.

I am also the DM for the DnD campaign.
If you want to join, contact me via skype. Elgost105 should bring me up. I got a picture of swagnemite as my profile.
RULES:
Don't be a loud obnoxious idiot.
RP somewhat decently. Meta is discouraged.
DON'T TRY TO BREAK MY WORLD.
DAYS:
Friday, Saturday, or Sunday; open to discussion.
It will be weekly.
CAMPAIGN INFO:
Will start in a single "Province" and will start at level 3.
Party size will be 4 to 6. No bigger.
Limited to 1 Warlock/Sorceror/Wizard per party. In my campaign, true magicians are RARE. More info on specific campaign details later.
GAMEPLAY INFO:
I play things by ear a lot because I HATE keeping track of things. I'm not going to make you keep track of item weight, but don't think that I'll let you carry around 3 cows, a ladder, and a canoe in your backpack. BE REALISTIC.
I LOVE when people get creative. Literally ask me if you can do something if you're unsure. I'll tell you if its reasonable, and ask if you want to do so. You tell me what you do, I do some rolls, and tell you how it turns out. This also holds true for ANY SKILL. If you want to persuade someone, don't just say "I roll to persuade him". Be specific. "I'm going to try to persuade this guard to ignore our crime, telling him that its necessary for the greater good of the town".
I'm okay with you doing stupid things in game, just be prepared for the consequences. Some of the best things in DnD happen because of idiotic ideas. Like when I decided to persuade a party member that some mushrooms were safe to eat. Hallucinogenic night was great.
I'm not here to kill you or make your life hell, I'm here to help you make a story worth playing. That being said, I'll kill you if you're an idiot (DON'T EAT GELATINOUS CUBES), and if you play my game, you need to realize that death is a very real possibility. I'm not happy go lucky everyone lives and gets a happy ending. PC's will die, Party Friends will die, NPC's will die PEOPLE WILL DIE. Be ready for it.
I'm also not a huge fan of boards, I do a lot of my gameplay orally. I can make a quick combat board if really needed, but I prefer to describe what you guys are encountering.
Direct all questions to me either here or on skype. Skype preferably.

Or, at the very least the TEAM is doing something wrong.
If you are dying 20 times in a scout suit speed hacking, you had BETTER be getting at least 15 successful hacks off.
Which means that your team should be securing 15 hacks.
Which begs the question; WHY ARE YOU FLIPPING A POINT 15 TIMES?
You need one of the following:
A.) Better Defense in the case that you are flipping those points
B.) Better awareness of what you can safely take if you're dying after the hack
C.) Better sense if you keep dying on the hack.
Why do I say this?
Because I had a friend who is the PRECISE REASON why I made these posts to begin with.
Gavrillo Princip was the worlds worst speed hacker.
He died 15+ times in a fight getting hacks, often only having the team follow up around twice, and securing it once.
That is a MASSIVE problem.
15 clones from a single player every match is a problem in the long run. In a 3x fight to flip, that's over 45 clones from a single person, or around 10% of the total if you're launching 450.
10% of deaths, from 6.25% of the players on your side.
Bad math. Be more efficient.

Tips? Lets say i am sent to take the mushroom map thunderdome map solo, two in three out. What would i do?
Defending two points is easy peasy. Formula stays the same no matter what map.
First, links. Put links outside of the city. These are "Emergency Links". If everything goes wrong, you can spawn back on these and try again.
Second, put links in the city. For reinforcements and your own pleasure.
Third, identify the least defended objective. Don't try for an objective with more than two people on it.
Once objective is found, taking it is simple. Run around the point, try to find out what you're up against. MELEE any link you find. Sweeping links is the first job every time. Figure out what they're running. A heavy and a logi are engaged differently than a scout and assault.
1 guy on point? Kill him, sweep links, flux objective, hack, defend. Simple. Don't leave until the point flips.
Two guys? Depends on who is there.
If there is EVER a scout as part of the two, take him down first. You can't hack a point with a scout around. It's suicide.
If its a heavy + Logi? Logi first, heavy second. Lone heavies are easy kills. Lone logis are more slippery.
Two heavies? RE bait.
Before you start shooting, kill as many links as possible. You want to force them to spawn on the point. Kill the guy farthest from the point first, then QUICKLY try to kill the other man. Speed is of the essence here. Once both are dead, start hacking immediately. Make sure to flux the point first.
PROTIP: After the first guy is killed, you should be heading towards the point to find the other guy. Toss a flux at this time on the point. Saves time.
Once hacked, CLEAR LINKS. KILL ANYONE WHO TRIES TO SPAWN IN ON THEM.
Once links are clear, and point is hacked, defense is the next step. Defend it until it flips. Then put an RE on it.
Head to next point, rinse and repeat.
If you're fast enough, you should ALWAYS have one point contested at least. If they try to take the previous point, hack the other, put an RE on it, and then head back to the other one. If they defend that one, you get a free point. If not, you play ring around the rosie, but you are far faster than them.
If you start running into a squad in the city (Like around 3-6 people), just harass them. You've done your job if they sent 3-6 people to deal with one guy.
Hope that helps o7

If the former then you could say that it greatly changed how people worked. After the industrial revolution the number of people working for others went up and those working for themselves went down. "But Spade, why did that happen?" Shut up and stop interrupting me you little ****. Ahem, beforehand the primary way of generating wealth was to own and work your own land. But afterwards that land was either sold to those that wished to construct factories or a particularly wealthy landowner became one of those. Without the land to make ones own living off of there was little choice but to work for someone else. #DoTheRestYourselfYouLazyBum.
I don't really need the info.
I just thought it would be funny to see if anyone would actually help someone with something that sounds like homework.

Oh, and let me remind you of the actual definition of a scrub.
"A Scrub is a player of a competitive video game who adamantly believes that his or her "house rules" should apply to everyone to promote his or her view of "fair play". If a scrub sees a move or strategy he doesn't like (or can't beat), he bans it (if only in his own mind), and complains that anyone who uses it is cheap."
Re-Read the OP and tell me who is the scrub here.

I don't run a shotgun with it.
I run 3x Shields, 1x Precision, 1x Kincat, 1x Damp
Assault RR, Bolt Pistol, C-7 Flux, Cloak.
That's it.
It a hilariously effective flanking suit. You can sit back at range to pop a guy or two, then fall back behind cover. If they start to advance, light them up a bit, cloak and re-position.

Since Amarr scout is the topic of the day: How I would fit it.
Slayer fit for when scanners aren't an issue.
Utility fit.
With only 75 shields, yet decent regen stats, I consider the extender necessary. Its a quick, and effective way of keeping your overall HP higher, since shields still regen much faster than armor.
Biotic is another one of those items I consider too good on scouts to pass up. Just one gives you tangible benefits, due to your high base speed.
Slayer fit has one damp so he can fit more HP and regen. Damp fit uses two to avoid detection, with a reactive and kincat to keep his speed and health up.
AScR + Flaylock is for flexibility in engagements. You can easily handle other scouts in CQC with their meagre health, provided you get the drop on them (You should, Amarr scout and all). Also gives you the ability to operate at range if need be.
Slayer sacrifices secondary equip for more fitting power. Utility uses links to support team.

Joined another one, played it out, and lost. Imagine my surprise to see the win 30 battles mission increase by one. Checked my wallet, saw two payments for finishing battles within a few minutes of each other. One win, one loss. I assumed that the win was the battle I had the glitch with.
So I thought I would try an experiment. I joined a new battle and left the battle after deploying to the MCC. Then I joined another one. I completed the 2nd one, and took a look at my wallet. Two payments for finishing two battles. It wasn't a result of the deploy glitch at all - it appears to be repeatable and easy to do.
No idea if I could do this say, five times in a row, but considering the current event, and the fact that wining 30 battles in ten days is a tall order for me, it seems a little crap that this is exploitable. What's to stop me just queuing up over and over to get me some free wins that I don't even have to invest much time into?
Even the standard daily missions that require wins can be exploited this way, and it is gonna screw with Scotty.
Sooooo...is this common knowledge?
PS. Don't hate me for intentionally leaving a battle, I'm not a good enough player for that to have caused imbalance lol, and I decided it was an important experiment to determine whether it's an exploit that needs to be reported.
Known bug, easily exploitable

If you only have 20mil, how can you afford 200k a pop for as many Nothi NN's as someone has? Hmm... perhaps i should test this theory. I have been offering 100k a pop for Nothi NN's (even though i've never used one). I'm surprised you pay 200k haven't seen many people wanting them. On a side note, dang, you guys are not nearly as rich as I would think. FYI, I need a district to test a theory. Will pay a finders fee of 2 mil to whoever helps secure me a quick district.
Because making money is easy and I don't lose Nothi's often.
Not only that, but I doubt most of you have over 6 of them. 5 for a mil is a decent price for me, and it gets people to part with them quite often.
As for not being as rich as you think, I would have thought that was obvious. The people you hear about that have 300 mil+ have done one of two things:
A.) Been very good at saving ISK B.) Have been exploiting ways of making it.
PC was super exploitable in the past. Ark and I didn't take part in it.
The most money I've ever actually had in the game was in DNS era, when I was paid 20 mil a week to basically be on standby, PC ready the entire week. I blew most of it in PC's back then, and gave the rest of it away. I had at peak, 300 mil, which I blew on learning to fly ADS's and giving it away.
Came back to dust with 140 mil. Spent 120 of it on skins.

I must not get too many of them dropped then. I've only just recently started buying them, I had around 8, and most sold them to me in 4's or 5's.
I'll pay 6.8 mil for those. I'm at work, so you'll have to wait for it though.

4.8 mil for you if you send them.
That will be all I can buy for now though. I only have around 20 mil on me, need to save some ISK for PC proto suits.
EDIT: It's actually cool the way FA runs PC.
Against certain opponents, I get to reimburse lost officer gear through FA. Only certain gear is reimbursed, mainly higher tier weapons.
Hence why I have to buy Nothi's myself. If I use them, they don't get reimbursed.
My Bons do though
And our CEO will laugh if you try to reimburse officer from pubs. You run that outside of PC, its your wallet, not his.

Never enough officer gear.
Officer matches are fun as hell, I wish every match was like it.

I'm in this camp. Officer stuff in pubs used to be ultra rare, at least for me. Now it pretty much shows up in every match, often being fielded by multiple mercs. Scotsman + Bons. Seen it multiple times... been back..... 2 weeks now?
To be fair though, the Scotsman+Bons total ISK cost is actually in the ballpark of 1.3mil. The suit itself goes for 750k, not including the bons and other modules.
Fusion runs them in PC, Himiko told me he dies a little every time Fusion dies, as the ISK cost is enormous.

At least 3.
I died twice because basic Amarr scout at lvl 1 is REALLY BAD.

If you're having trouble making friends, it's probably a social issue rather than a sexual one.
And if you hate human existence, I highly advise seeking professional help. On the internet, all we can really do is show sympathy and help in what little ways we can. That probably won't solve the problem however.
If you don't like the way your life is right now, get help. Any step forward is a good one.

Oh God, no ******* joke, I just had over 15 individual fap sessions within 20 minutes. Seems I fap to calm myself down.

Oh, dear Lord. Okaaaaaaay, alright. After a bit more probing, it seems that this list of 'facilitating subjects' is more of a suggestion of subjects to take for people who don't actually know what they want to study at university and want to keep their options open, rather than a definitive list of subjects that must be taken to be accepted into the universities. These are the subjects that are most commonly requested to have been studied at A-Level. I know that I want to study an undergraduate degree in Law though, and for this subject there are no specific subject requirements, meaning that I should be fine to carry on studying English Language, alongside History and Government & Politics (BTEC Law on the side but I'll drop that after a year ). THANK. GOD. I fapped way too hard for this... I mean, I've rage-fapped at DUST before many times, though never on a scale such as this. But seriously, this all should have been explained to me prior to me selecting my A-Level subjects. Effing useless English education system. Take some science subjects. Just in case - you know - you're an amazing scientist.

But yeah, Science is a really rad field. Tons of applications, and its nice to be able to observe the world from a scientific standpoint.

Back then, if you ran Minmatar or Amarr Scout, you are caught with your pants down since Caldari can see everything but Gallente scouts, and Gallente scouts could see a lot with the proper use of modules while still hiding from everything.
That part I remember all too well. Worst build for Minja's ever in Dust.
Its also the only build I refused to PC in.
I'm still bitter about that time frame.

I was prepared for the Swarm change, already have Calmando skilled up.
Holy crap on the Gal Assault bonus. RR kick reduction is gravy.
Breach shotguns FINALLY get their clip increase. Magsec is gravy. I will be playing my RR/MSEC Cal assault more.
FUSED NADE BUFF WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
There is so much in this hotfix. I can't wait to go Drive-By dropshipping with Derrith again. PG on Kincats reduced, shield changes, OH MY.
Seriously, this looks to be a great hotfix. Hats off to the new CPM and Devs for pushing this through.

There goes what? 3million SP down the drain.
LOL, I saw this coming ages ago.
Cal Commando skilled up to proto already, you learn over time in Dust to predict how the meta swings.
Funny actually, since I also have prof III magsecs as well as Cal Assault to proto recently as well.
Oh, and MD's will be glorious. Full damage remember? Protofits says I deal 800 damage a shot to armor and 531 to shields with a 2x damage mod minmando.
With a 6 round clip and rapid reload. Now, I'm probably not going to be nuking tanks from halfway across the map, but imagine getting 800 damage thrown at you practically every second. That's 4800 damage if he doesn't move and I get a full clip in on target. That and I don't have to lock now. I can pop in and out of cover to blap him.

Think it's +20% damage and -30% RoF when compared to the Vanilla Shotgun. CRG-3 base is 42. KR-17 is 50.4. IIRC our last experiment correctly, the CRG-3 aimed center mass hits for an average of 450 shield dmg at 4.9m. CRG-3: Effect of Pellet Loss (within 5m)12/12 - 637 dmg 11/12 - 584 dmg 10/12 - 531 dmg 09/12 - 478 dmg 08/12 - 425 dmg We'd concluded that inside of 5m, 8-9 out of 12 pellets hit target when vanilla shotgun was aimed center mass. Breach will behave a tad differently. The tighter spread potentially means less pellet loss within optimal range. KR-17: Effect of Pellet Loss (within 5m)12/12 - 765 dmg 11/12 - 701 dmg 10/12 - 637 dmg 09/12 - 573 dmg 08/12 - 510 dmg * Calculations account for hybrid profile (+10% damage vs shields) and assume pro(5) operator (+15% shield dmg). Calculations do not include damage amps or account for warbarge bonus.
Oversimplified Rule of Thumb: Hits for about 100 more damage per blast and deals damage more reliably at range. Personal Expectation: The new breach will make for a decent gun, unless you're blasting an armor tanker. I guess i'll have to give it a go and see. I feel like it will still underwelm but be usable.
Breach has always been fun for BLAPPING people. The expanded clip size will help it greatly.
Especially if you know how to double shot glitch it
Instakills everything in the game.

I wonder if it'll be fixed by the increased clip size.
It won't.
It applies to more than just the shotgun. It works with Flaylocks, Sniper rifles (But is useless on it), Shotguns, Tac Ar's, etc.
It works with a LOT of weapons for some reason, you just need it to have no charge up time IIRC.
It's also REALLY situational and hard to pull off.
Here is how to do it.
1.) Equip Weapon.
2.) MELEE
3.) In mid melee animation, press and hold the fire button.
4.) Profit. If done right, you should fire right as the melee animation ends, firing 2 shots from your clip at once. Splash radius is unaffected, damage is. It literally fires two shots at once.
You can't "Hold" the charge either, hence why its hard to use effectively. It is AMAZING for assassinations though, especially when combined with melee damage. I do it on a Min Scout with a single mybo and a normal shotgun. Melee + 2Shot kills almost anything.

I skilled into min commando for ONE thing, swarm AV, not for freaking mass drivers! I doubt MD's will be very useful as AV in all truth even if I wanted to run MD's, which I don't. There goes what? 3million SP down the drain. LOL, I saw this coming ages ago. Cal Commando skilled up to proto already, you learn over time in Dust to predict how the meta swings. Funny actually, since I also have prof III magsecs as well as Cal Assault to proto recently as well. Oh, and MD's will be glorious. Full damage remember? Protofits says I deal 800 damage a shot to armor and 531 to shields with a 2x damage mod minmando. With a 6 round clip and rapid reload. Now, I'm probably not going to be nuking tanks from halfway across the map, but imagine getting 800 damage thrown at you practically every second. That's 4800 damage if he doesn't move and I get a full clip in on target. That and I don't have to lock now. I can pop in and out of cover to blap him. I know some mentioned it but i could never find any CCP post confirming it and i needed an AV fit yesterday not in 4 months. I mainly use my min commando for dropships not tanks, so that's why i don't picture a MD being a very good AV weapon.
Well, there is nothing stopping you from using swarms on a Minmando still is there?
Its not like swarms are un-viable on anything but the damage bonused suits. They still hurt like hell no matter what suit uses them.
If you used it only for AV, you're missing out on one of the FUNNEST Commandos in the game. Get an MD and go to town.

I'm still kinda miffed that in Hotfix Foxfour, Min Scouts aren't getting buffed up higher. Instead of 40 melee damage more than the others, we are still sitting at 120, which is only 20 higher.

I only do it for fun now in my Calmando (And love every last hatemail for it), but you have to be god-tier sniper to not be considered a waste of a player spot. Any good reason why not to increase movement speed while crouched? Always aimed with two sticks when sniping in every other shooter I've played. Why not (1) reduce sniper rifle sway while crouched and (2) increase movement speed while crouched?
How about we get rid of such a stupid mechanic, and instead severely reduce initial scope sway. I don't see how crouch speed needs to come into this at all.
I understand they don't want quickscoping, but 100% sensitivity being too slow and the horrible hit detection make that non factors. If I'm going to snipe and not be an immobile, useless player, I NEED to be able to quickly identify, aim, and kill targets without fighting the game itself to do so.
You want to snipe on the move? Now possible, but your range is limited due to natural sway. You want to be careful and line up a long range shot? You're going to have to crouch for a bit to line up the shot.

Why do you think I don't play anymore really?
After playing Arma and other games on the PC, I realized just how much I HATED having to play Dust.
I literally feel like I'm fighting the game itself to play decently.

Yeah me also a long time ago - not heard a peep out of when it might be playable.
This fall supposedly.
They have betas running at video game conventions, and so far reviews from players have been pretty positive. Its a really well polished beta.
Hell, people were saying that you couldn't play without Symmetra because she was the only viable way of returning to the battle quickly after death (Via Teleporter).
So then they created and released Lucio, who has an ability that MASSIVELY speeds up everyone in a radius around you.
I honestly can't wait to play it in beta. Trying to get FA involved as well. Skeletor Voltron signed up for beta as well, so at least I have him to play with when it drops.

Electric drums have come really far in recent years, but I would still prefer actual hardware for the cymbals if possible. Dream kit would have actual Bass and Cymbals, with electric snare and toms.
Best thing about electric is volume control however.

For CA scout, I'd probably actually run RR+MSMG. Take advantage of huge shield delay buff to make him better at long range flanking. Scout around, mow a dude or two down, cloak and run. Shield regen lets you pop in and out of cover at different sides of a flank to engage.
Higher speed and stealth lets you dictate range. They start to move up? Cloak, fall back and repeat.

Did the CA Scout actually get buffed? It was my understanding that its shield properties (excluding dmg threshold) were held constant; I'm pretty sure the floor was raised around it.
It gained from the changes.
All caldari suits got buffed in terms of delay and depleted. Cal scout's regen amount didn't change, but the downtime is decreased significantly.
Damp+Kincat is still the way to run it though. On a flank fit, I'd probably run 3x shield, recharger, damp, kincat.

Personally, I want to see Commandos on the same kill counts as scouts.
Weapon kill distribution is skewed just so you guys know. HMG's have the most kills because almost every single Heavy kill is with an HMG (Just around 93% actually). Even with 50303 HMG kills, assaults still have almost 70k between the four rifles.
I really hope that CCP takes a hard look at the races that don't even show up and buff them in some way. They are obviously either under-performing or lacking a useful role.

You haven't played PC in quite a while.
Link changes make running the Amarr un-necessary, since their links are only a little bit better at most. Better to just carry LP Viziams and run a suit that has a better bonus, like the Gal or Min.

So I've not actually looked at the data but it's not as simple as this is it? If a role is under-used, couldn't it just be that nobody has bothered to skill into it? It could be as good as other roles, but if you've already got something useful, why would you skill into another? Thinking previous FotM components and the like. Now I re-read your post...yeah so lacking a useful role might make sense, but that doesn't require a buff, it requires a lower-level role rework.
Buffing them in some way refers to the role re-work. Forgive me for not wording that well.
In short; they need changes. In some way, shape, or form. They are out of the meta because someone does their job better, or because their ability is not useful at the moment.

If he's going to put those posts anywhere I'd rather it be the War Room. WR's practically his true home.
I'd rather not have posts like that anywhere.
That hurt to even read, and I apologize for reposting it here.
But bringing it up in the war room is just asking for the trolls to come out in full force.

First few thoughts:
1.) I love the new Magsec.
2.) I REALLY love the new Assault SMG.
3.) I'm mad that the Min Scout didn't get any of the sexy melee damage buffs.
4.) As an avid shield tanker, HELL YES. Min and Cal suits feel a lot more regen-y. I'm actually considering running shield buffer Min Commando's instead of tank, since they have naturally good regen now. Slap some armor on it.
5.) Feels a LOT more laggy than usual.
My new favorite fit for this build, I'm so happy its viable again.
Min Scout MK.0
2x Complex Shield 1x Complex Mybofybril (More for mobility than anything)
2x Complex Damp 1x Complex Kincat
Ishukone Assault Submachine Gun Ishukone Nova Knives Core Locus
Proto Cloak. Looks alot like my go-to MN Scout fit! Running a lower end cloak so I can squeeze in a compact hive. Hadn't tried a single myofib yet; I've been alternating between 2 shields + precision, sidearm damage or another shield. Edit: Also running M8 nades. Tougher to place, but when they hit, they really hit. It's like a mini-game. Lol.
I stopped running compact hives when I realized I can just take a supply depot if I need ammo

He probably will.
My first match back I went 2-11
Granted, I had it back up to normal by the end of the night. With that scout suit, my last match went around 16-2. First death was in my cloaky damped calmando with melee mods. Got myself around 8 kills with that thing
We call it "The Predator" suit.
EDIT: Brief transcript of the match
Kaisar: *Gets destroyed by a basic breach AR, starts laughing his ass off*
Himiko: "Kaisar, what the hell. What suit are you running?"
Kaisar: "Amarr scout. I had SP leftover and didn't know what to skill. This is the only scout I've never played"
Himiko: "Kaisar, why the hell are you running the amarr scout, that suit is trash"
Kaisar: "I think I can make it work. Once I get it to proto, I'll run 2 damps, 1 kincat and 1 reactive.
Himiko: "Making that fit work is easy, all you have to do is run it on something that isn't an Amarr Scout"
Next match; still running the scout
Kaisar: "Why do I feel like a squishy amarr assault with only slightly better eWAR and a sh*tty scrambler rifle?"
Himiko: "BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE"

I'd just like to ensure people understand this: If you bet against me, it is because you believe that there will be no news of a port by March 1st. If you've mistakenly said "I'll take that" when you actually thought that you were betting that there would be news, I'm cool with you going back on your bet if you post clarification. Within a reasonable timespan, obviously - if you don't say anything and we suddenly get news of a port and you go "I TAKE BACK MY BET" I don't think anyone will be impressed.
I'm still going through with mine.
If I lose, I lose 10 mil but dude, PORT NEWS.
If I win, I'm sad that no port news, but at least I'll have 10 mil to make me feel better.

I already tried every combination of fit possible, and this account (even if it's an alt), also got several suits. I think I've tried every gameplay possible on dust.. probably the reason why I got bored of it tbh ^^ GalMando with 2 PLC is by far the most hilarious suit to play with !
Only suits so far I haven't tried is non-min logi's and the Amarr suits (Barring Scout).
Mainly because I don't like the Amarr, or the logis.
I might throw some SP into dropships though. Those were always fun.

Galmando is possibly my favorite suit in this game, I should've specced into it when I got that respec a few months back instead of speccing back into Gallente Assault, despite me being good with it, it is not as fun. It is an easy suit, whereas the Galmando is more fun and flexible. When I get those 514 kills, I am definitely going Galmando.
My favorite way to run it:
2x Complex Light Damage Mods 1x Complex Armor Plate 2x Complex Armor Rep
Federation Specialist AR Duvolle Specialist Shotgun
EXTREMELY tight on CPU, but my god.
700 DPS to shields and 585 DPS to armor with AR.
1200 DPS to shields and 980 DPS to armor with Shotgun.
You have 648 armor with 312 shields to buffer. Coupled with 23 hp/s armor reps.

I am so running that...
Its even more fun when you learn to double shot glitch the shotgun and insta blap heavies who try to turn around your corner.
My Gal Assault fit for maximum pain:
1x PG Upgrade 2x Complex Light Damage Mods 2x Complex Plates 3x Complex Reps
Duvolle AR Creodron Ion Pistol Core Locus.
640 armor with 33hp/s reps. AR deals 751 DPS to shields and 532 DPS to armor.
Comparable to the Commando in all honesty. Notice how the RoF bonus makes it better against shields than the Commando, but worse against armor, due to how the flat damage bonus works.
Overall, I'd still say the Commando comes out on top for CQC slaughter, but the assault gets the edge in sheer regen.

So yeah I run it as close to a scout as I can. Can have good results. Only at L3 so room for improvement. Though that's pretty much a CQC fit. Should probably look at damage mods instead of PEs, but that dampener, I feel I need it.
That is a horrible fit.
1 Profile damp doesn't even get you under advanced normal scans.
Two kincats makes you sprint only slightly better than an assault.
You have 812 HP, a 10% damage buff and no repair.
You'd literally be better off running an assault or a scout.
I'm not surprised that you're getting results in it though. I've said it several times, so long as you're somewhat decent, you can run whatever the hell you want and do well in it.
That doesn't mean its good though.

That doesn't mean its good though. I only care about avoiding passive scans and I think that puts me at 40dB, so just under non-enhanced assaults. The speed is coz I want to run it as a scout and a fun fit to see how it goes. If I need or want to avoid active scans, then only a scout suit will do. But running around in an 800HP suit and blapping people like a scout can be good fun. The HP is 3x times what I get on my scout fits and it's always interesting to compare how that works out in practical terms. So yeah I didn't say it was good / optimal either ;-)
Just damp an assault suit and slap on damage mods.
2x Precision 1x Damage mod 2x Damp 2x Reactive 1x Kincat
You sprint faster, scan better, damp better, and still have around 700 hp with 10.5 hp/s rep.
The commando is one of the WORST suits to try and emulate others, it doesn't have nearly enough fitting power, with 5 slots and limited CPU/PG.

Game 1: Skirmish. Everyone on my team quit except for one dude. So, me and him took on a team of 12, including some big name corps. My only objective was to not die and hack lots of stuff. Went 0-2 and made almost 400k ISK despite losing.
Game 2: Got plopped into an officer royale domination that we eventually won but I was sorely outclassed - I refuse to run high end gear just because everyone else is doing it. So, went 1-5. Seems everywhere I went someone had an awesome scanner or spidey senses.
Game 3: This game was awesome. I turned off the PS-3 and tried to have breakfast without waking up my wife. I won this game easily!
I played a few games yesterday too.
Game 1: PC vs. SOG. Ran a kitchen sink team and won HARD.
Game 2: Gal FW with friends. Can't remember the specifics, but I'm fairly certain we didn't lose.
Game 3: PC vs. SOG. They didn't show up to their own attack when we had 160 clones.
Game 4: Gal FW with friends. Ran into some AE, RG and others on the other side. Had a great freaking fight. Props to them for not giving up. They still lost by about 70 clones, but I died 6 times as a result. Had a great last stand with a friendly from AE on a point, the two of us forced them to send about 8 people to the point. I was running that CQC Galmando and he was in a Min Assault.
Then I logged for the night.

Heard about this guy that went to a gym & he tried eating pizza every day for a month while working out the same. He'd lost more weight than anyone there. Seriously pizza for every meal especially breakfast, you have your bread, cheese, & meat. All you need to do is put eggs on it.
You can eat whatever the hell you want if you burn enough calories.
Weight gain/loss is primarily controlled by making sure your net caloric intake is negative.

Now all we have to do is make sure Madonna never tries to remake any of Adele's songs, and I think we will be safe. ok, so Idk if I was the one who brought it up, but regardless. Nightcore needs to be done well, if not it will either be too fast, or just sound off. it is also a rather specific genera, so I am not surprised that some people dont like it. If you dont like it, ok thats fine, I dont like the majority of modern hip hop or pop, but I can still respect it, and understand why some people like it. and that is all I would like from you. the presence of mind to appreciate that others enjoy it, and while you have a right to do so please aware that others may have differing opinions , and may even enjoy this kind of music.

Nightcore is like anime.
90% of it is utter shit. Like "What the hell, who would watch this?" type shit.
5% is decent, and the other 5% is actually pretty awesome.
Here is one I like, with the original version for comparison.
Some songs really just need to be distorted and speed the fuck up.

Some Trivia on the Tiger Rag:
This piece surprised many musicians; and Art Tatum won a piano duel in 1933 playing a rendition of Tiger Rag probably similar to this against many famous jazz pianists. It also scared Oscar Peterson so much that he didn't touch the piano for two months.
This is what the piece looks like when played. This dude had to code it for three hands to get it to work

Don't even think about reducing seize duration. Damage and Seize exist as balancing points for the weapons strengths. Find different avenues to buff it. I have to make it different from the Amarr Assault in some way, I mean the Amarr Assault is literally better than the Commando in almost every aspect.
Amarr Commando deals far more damage. 10% base increase is huge, you get more out of one damage mod than an assault gets with 3.
Personally, I think the Amarr Commando needs a 1-4 slot layout. Let them be more tanky. I've always heard people complain that a well fit Amarr assult is harder to take down than a commando, which is the main problem.
My Minmando fit for shields is amazingly tanky. Like 500+ shields, 300+ armor and speed/regen to boot.
Amarr can only really get a bit of extra tank and regen with two slots. Letting it run 2 plates 2 reps might be a huge boon for it.
EDIT: Two plates two reps gives it 250 shields as buffer, with 900 armor and 20 HP/s to back it up. Run a damage mod for 17% extra damage on your laser weapons.
Bring it.

XxBlazikenxX wrote: You realize that the Amarr Assault deals about 500-700 more damage with the laser rifle before overheating? I think it also does more damage with either variant of the Scr before overheating.
That's due to how the laser rifle works, since its damage is based off its heat percentage.
Scrambler is affected in a similar fashion, but only in a perfect environment. It lets you shoot off more shots before overheat. You won't realistically hit that cap without some damn impressive trigger fingers or a modded controller.
Idea: Change the Assault bonus
Amarr Assault gets a reduction to laser weaponry charge time and cooldown. In short, it can charge up quicker and cool down faster.
Amarr commando gets a bonus to damage and heat generation. It deals damage better and longer, but requires longer times in between fights.
Commando gets to be amazing with the LR and be better at dealing with hardened targets (Being able to hit harder for longer).
Assault now thrives in being able to rapidly engage and re-engage targets (matches the idea of assaults being faster and more versatile).
Sound good?

If you are genuinely attempting to use a 'fast trigger finger' to increase laser rifle DPS I am going to go and sob about the failures of Darwinism in our modern world. Thirdly, if you would like to make proposals for your suit of choice to be heavily buffed, in future please do us all a favour and deliver multiple counterpoints rather than tunnel visioned one liners.

With my Min scout I always have trouble deciding whether to go with 2 codebreakers and a dampener, or 3 codebreakers. I'm using the first one at the moment.
I tend to use the Min scout for outside points where I am less likely to come across a Gal logi, and where a rifle will be useful. I fit shields, knives, combat rifle, flux, cloak and uplink on it.
I don't even try speed hacking in min scouts anymore.
You will be scanned and killed before you get within 20m of it.
2 damp 2 breaker gal scout is the only way I can do it now.

More Tinfoil: The original EWAR 2.0 system Rattati envisioned would've put high-risk / high-reward assassins back on the map. CPM2 (excluding Cross) rallied to ensure the system didn't see the light of day. Instead, EWAR 2.0.1 will introduce two new competitive units: EWAR Assaults and EWAR Logis. Who's going to be "ticked off" by the changes in Warlords 1.3? I'll be shocked if it isn't us. While Rattati has largely been silent these last few months, I have to give him more credit than that. I still have confidence in Rattati, but we've witnessed firsthand what a single CPM member with an anti-scout agenda can pull off. Realistically, I don't see things getting better for us balance-wise any time soon.
That's because scouts are overall doing well.
The suit doesn't need changes. At all (Short of the Amarr who needs a decent bonus).
Active scanners need a pass.
Range extenders need a buff.
That's it.
Scouts are not slayer suits. eWAR and utility.
I've never once pulled out my scout and thought "I would be better off in another suit", except for when my goal was simply to slaughter people. I pull out my scout when I don't want to be scanned, and when I want to do sneaky stuff. Guess what? WORKING AS FUCKING INTENDED.
They have a role they excel in, its just one major aspect of that identity is being encroached on HARD by another single suit. They don't have their eWAR aspect as well as they should.
Right now scouts are really low HP. I'm fine with this. They need to stay that way. If you want to have good eWAR and be hard to scan, you CAN'T have competitive levels of HP. Being unable to get point blank is also beneficial. We don't want 1.6 slayer scouts again. Giving assaults and logistics ways to fight back is a healthy system to keep the scouts power level in check.
Also: the tirade I keep hearing about "a single member of the CSM ruining everything" is getting super old. You're literally just using the CSM as a whipping post any time changes you want don't go through.
Listen to me: They aren't the end all of game design. They've had things they want to go through get shot down by CCP, and also things they DON'T want to go through get thrown in as well.
They're a voice of the community and soundboard for CCP. That doesn't guarantee that they will have any effect though. CCP can ignore them if they freaking want to.
So don't just yell at the CPM any time something happens that you don't like. CCP gets half the blame as well.

Adipem Nothi wrote: As for CCP being equal parts to blame, if Rattati had given Zatara what he asked for, CQC Scouts would've been crippled and EWAR would've become the domain of the Logi. Instead, Rattati compromised between our position (the right) and Zatara & Co.'s (the wrong) and we ended up with what we have today: underpowered Scout EWAR, overpowered Active Scans, a terrible AM Scout, Logis with better scans than Scouts, etc.
Without Zatara's white-tagged red herring "blame it all on Scout EWAR", Rattati would've focused on fixing the actual causes of Assault Lite. So yes, I hold him responsible for the mess he left.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying.
CPM CAN have influence on CCP.
However, CCP is just as much to blame for what you don't like.
Do you honestly think that ONE guy strongarmed Rattati into making those changes?
Like everyone else was against it, as well as Rattati and he just kept insisting until it went through?
As for the rest: Strong Active scans are still necessary to keep scouts honest running damps. Scout eWAR was overnerfed, but rightfully so, I remember the Cal Scout permascanning hell very well in PC. AM Scout has always been terrible, Logi's only became super strong passive scan machines AFTER fallout was implemented, and even then, almost nobody runs it. Only ones I can think of are MIn Logi's who follow fatties around.
The current situation is an amalgamation of various changes over time.
Pinning it all on one guy is a tad extreme. Sounds to me like you want a scapegoat.

Still, my qualifier took pictures, and I posted all of these to our forums with the title "EOD Kaisar, reporting for duty"
For those wondering "How can you not see it?" its because he has his grass and terrain effects turned off. I don't, because I won't have mine turned off during operations. It was actually fairly hard to spot, as the terrain itself covered it up to the orange top plate.

Put on your critical thinking hat and ask yourself how much worse it would've been if Zatara had gotten 100% of what he asked for. Compare what pretty much everyone here (except you) said would happen to what actually happened. I understand that he's your buddy, but he also championed changes which brought about substantial harm to EWAR interplay.
Coming from the dude who's been brewing and drinking his own for ages.
I honestly think you just need to come to terms with the fact that we just have different ideas on how scouts should operate.
I am PERFECTLY fine and happy with the state of the scout as of the last time I played.
Can things be improved? Yes. Amarr scout for sure. Range extenders need a buff, Active scanners need tweaking. I'm loving that they are making cloaks more viable to lower SP guys as well.
But the overall THEME of the scout right now I'm fine with.
You're a fast, damped little terrorist with high alpha weapons and you benefit from powerful (If short) passive scans that let you detect enemies without alerting them. Your main goal in fights is to disrupt the enemy by destroying equipment, HVT's, and capturing lightly defended installations and objectives.
I don't feel like any suit can come CLOSE to the scouts power in this, not without severely gimping their capabilities elsewhere, or squandering their own potential. Trying to fit an assault to do this ultimately leads to you to say "Why not just use a scout?"
To me, that's role perfection right there.
I'm not stepping on anyones toes, and they're not stepping on mine. To me, that's balance.
EDIT: Listen, if Zatara really wanted changes to benefit him, he would have buffed Core nades to deal 900 damage in a 10m radius

Let's assume that he didn't know what he was doing when he shafted Scouts and created an overpowered GalLogi. When he realized after the fact that he had replaced one form of imbalance with another, did he set out to correct it? If it had been you or me or even Breakin who accidentally gifted ourselves with something overpowered or, for that matter, inadvertently did undue harm to another class or unit, we would have made it our mission to set things right. No doubt about it. We'd make it a point to fix whatever we broke. Did Zatara put his white tags to use and make things right? Or even try? As far as I know, he never parted with a word about it. It has been an entire year, and everything he broke (knowingly or unknowingly) remains broken. Not a word from Zatara about fixing the OP GalLogi he created. Rather odd, given how much he had to say about Scout permascan. Not a word about undoing the overdone cloak nerfs. Not a word about righting at least some of the EWAR imbalance he'd championed. Not a word. Best I recall, he spammed his overpowered GalLogi for a while, then left DUST to play Destiny. Probably sick with himself. I know I would've been.
Nah, he's spamming League of Legends right now.
Literally played 10 hours of it yesterday. Not kidding, he played 18 matches of it.

To me, that's role perfection right there. I'm not stepping on anyones toes, and they're not stepping on mine. To me, that's balance. I understand that you're happy with the general state of scoutplay, but specifically, which Scouts are you happy with and why? Sure, Shotgun GA Scouts still have a place in PC, but are MN Scouts holding their own in competitive play? Are CA Scouts providing the competitive long-range, low-intensity recon their racial bonuses tell us they're designed to provide? What of AM Scouts? What's their job again? Say we buffed Range Extenders. Would that fix AM and CA Scouts? Would a proper Field Commander then field an AM or CA Scout for passive scans? Would their passive scans be much better than the nearest precision-enhanced Logi's, much less a GalLogi's actives? What's you're take on the effect of inner rings on knifeplay given that scans are now shared up to 16x? And how 'bout that cloak?
1.) Yeah, Min scouts work well in PC. You have to damp like crazy, and the Gal scout is still better, but it works. I'd like to see all scouts have the same level of dampening at 2 damps (READ: Bring them all up), but Gal scouts would go crazy if that happened.
2.) AM scouts have always needed a fix. CA scouts need that range buff, and then yes, they WOULD provide some great long range scans. Even now, a single range amp gets you 50m scans. I want a single range amp to get you to around 60m long range scans on CA scouts, which gives you 30m normal scans and 12m Short scans. 2 Precision mods would get you 31 dB at 60m, 24 at 30m, and 12 and 12m. That's some eWAR right there. Flip side, 1 damp makes you easier to find and you only have 307 shields and no speed. Acceptable losses.
3.) Nobody in their right mind would field a scout for intel. Intel is limited to squads, not teams. Active scans go to teams. If we get back to the point that a dedicated eWAR scout is in each squad doing perma scans, we've taken a step back. We've traded Gal Logi cancer for scout cancer, and at least we were warned when we where detected by active scans.

Not really, I think he just lurks around anymore just in case Shotty says anything that remotely looks like he has insulted Ghost's boyfriend Zatara, then its Ghost to the rescue!! (You know, because Shotty was complaining about CPM2, which is not far removed from CPM1, which Zatara was on, so he must have been insulting Zatara.... Ghost logic) And of course, scouts are ok, because they work exactly how Ghost thinks they should work, and who cares about what everyone else thinks, because Ghost is elite (he was listed at the top of a couple games and is not an elite PC gamer too!) so everyone else's opinion is moot. But what do I know, I am just a scrub who played scout and enjoyed it since open beta, but haven't been able to enjoy the game since ridiculous nerfs (I am looking at you cloak blind and a 3 second delay, that is really only supposed to be 1 second, but whatever, its working as intended), and Assault suits who have 8 module slots at all tiers (given pre real Assault buff, and left in long after they have become somewhat OP) so my opinion is worthless.
You obviously aren't reading.

Gal Logi needs a pass, but I wouldn't say its OP. I can easily hide from that thing. Scout suit with damps. Easy peasy. Does it need a pass? Yeah, uptime and strength could use some tweaks. I'd personally like active scans to be moderate strength and team-wide, while Scout scans are powerful, but personal. But thats just me. My opinions don't apply to everyone.
And if you've carefully read, you'll notice that my problem is mainly that he likes to blame Zatara for everything that has gone wrong with eWAR, ignoring CCP and rest of the CPM.
The "It's all his fault" is the part I have a problem with. That's it. Everything else is differing opinions based on what we think scouts SHOULD be like.
But don't let that stop you or anything. If you post this enough, people will eventually believe it to be true. Goebbels did it with a whole nation, I'm sure you could do it to a forum if you tried.

Read the thread, Ghost. It wasn't CCP or other members of CPM1 who were peddling convenient falsehoods (i.e. Marauder doesn't armor tank, assault-lite isn't the problem, etc). It wasn't other members of CPM1 or CCP who were championing new imbalance. It was Zatara. Every new form of imbalance we enumerated came to be. Everything we said would happen did happen. We were right. It wasn't CCP or the other members of CPM1 who were in that thread mocking us and telling us that we were wrong. It was Zatara. If all of this was one big accident, at the very minimum, Zatara should've owned up to his mistakes when he realized that one form of permascan had been replaced by another. He didn't. He championed imbalance -- which just so happened to suit his personal interests -- and he left it in play without a word of acknowledgement or effort to correct.
Zatara's horrible PR on the side; the point I'm making is that the changes went through.
That means that SOMEWHERE along the line, Zatara wasn't the only one championing this. CCP wouldn't put something in the game they don't agree with, and he had NOWHERE near enough clout to push it through on his own.
The rest were silent. That doesn't mean that they didn't support it.
Share the blame is all I'm saying. Trying to say that Zatara, himself, pushed an idea that only he agreed with through CCP is flat out stupid.
No way in hell is a company going to radically change the game based off of ONE MAN's input, from someone who isn't even paid .

1.What should go in the low slots? I usually run two kin cats on with two damps for meatgrinder maps or replace a damp with a card reg for open maps or skirmish. I was also thinking of replacing the card reg/damp with a ferroscale. Are armor modules on a gal scout optimal or necessary?
2. What about high slots? I used to run precision enhancers but passive scanning is wonky so I switched them for extenders. Would it be better to use damage mods, myofibs or mix it up?
3. Are cloaks recommended? I like cloaks on my hacking suit but the switching delay and decloak noise get me killed too often. Lately, I've been running uplinks to help the blues and an active scanner to make up for the crappy passives. What scanner should I use?
4. Shotguns only? I've been using the shotgun a lot but I still can't aim with it properly. If the guy moves, I instantly lose track of him in CQC and get murdered. I was thinking of using an assault rifle but I don't think it has enough alpha damage.
I could just ask for a fitting but I want to know the reasoning used by the masters of the scout craft.
The only two Gal fits you will ever need for pubs.

I like cloaks simply because of the mindgames with them. Cloaks have saved my life countless times, you just gotta know when to use it, and when to turn it off. Be judicious with it.
Shotguns Shotguns Shotguns. AR's are nice, but you shouldn't be engaging from range. If you're seen at range, you run, not fight. If you're not seen at range, GET CLOSER. You can't beat the sheer GANK power of a shotgun. Put em in the dirt, and fast.
I like a single precision just because it gets you 25 dB at 15m. Catches sneaky assaults who run a single damp. I prefer it over more shields, but that's up to personal preference. I consider that second high slot a "utility" slot. Run whatever you think you need on it. If you need damage, go for it. Shields? Get it. I only consider a single shield extender on the Gal Scout "Mandatory" when running a ferro and rep, so go hog wild.
For pubs though, these fits should be fine. Nothing you shouldn't be able to handle without success. If the team is getting wrecked, just cloak, run around and hack undefended stuff and throw down uplinks for points. Works every time.
That's the beauty of the Gal scout. If you don't want to fight, you don't have to. With a good brain, cloak, and proper damps you can avoid engagements, no matter how hard they want to find you.
I ran a 3x Gal scout against a team of 10 FA in a pub once. I died ONCE and that was because I took a bad fight. I literally ran circles around them all match. I never left the city.
It was awesome.

If you have 3 damps and a cloak you should be able to avoid people. It won't be easy, but its totally possible.
Stay in areas with lots of twists and turns. Rings map is great for this. The city there is convoluted with tons of cover. If someone sees you, just start turning corners until you find a place to stay still for a bit.
Don't immediately try to go all Jurrasic Park on them. If they think you stopped moving, its easy to check nearby areas to find where you could be. You want to create doubt.
"Did he stop and hide, or is he still running?"
And then you run while their back is turned.
If there is a HORDE chasing you, don't bother twisting and turning. Instead, lead them away from objectives. Most will stop pursuit.
Its not that people won't SEE YOU. It's that they can't CATCH/KILL YOU.
The best scout is like that.
They know you're around. They've seen you darting around.
They try to chase, but it just frustrates them.
Then you start picking them off. One, by one.
They get angry. Out comes Gal Logi.
They still can't find you.
You kill their Gal Logi while he's furiously scanning (Easy to do. In that FA match, I killed Doc Hollidays Gal Logi twice before he stopped bringing it out XD)
You RE his body and kill his friends.
You keep running.
They will probably get smart, which will make it hard to kill them and take points.
But that's the goal.
At that point, you just keep the pressure. Keep 4 of them there, on their toes, constantly checking their backs and objectives.
You've just created a 15v12 on the other 3 objectives.
Good Job. That's how a scout works.
I swear, people have forgotten how to be a bastard. You don't need to drop 20+ kills.
All you need to do is grab a good handful and not die too much. Your goal is to create a numbers advantage elsewhere and annoy the p*ss out of the poor souls who have to defend that city.

There are lots. (Being a bastard has always been about backstabs and shenanigans. Good scoutplay should be sneaky, smart, fast-paced, high risk, high reward with little (if any) room for error. It should be difficult to master and brutally unforgiving, but it should be also be exhilarating, violent and -- most importantly -- fun. What we have now is not good scoutplay. Today, we occupy a space which shouldn't exist; a space where high risk meets low reward. What used to be "outsmart and kill the enemy" has gradually become "avoid the enemy or be killed". What was "brains over brawn" is now "run and hide". What we have today is not rewarding, exhilarating or smart assassin play. What we have today is far from fun.)
To those old Scouts who miss their fangs and those new Scouts who have yet to drink the Kool Aid, don't give up your rightful claim as DUST's Assassin class! We are designed to kill, just like Assaults and Heavies, but we are designed to do so differently. Don't let Ghost Kaiser, CPM or anyone else tell you that killing is not central to scouting. Don't forget what it really means to be a Bastard, and don't settle for anything less than a fair shake. Keep your blades sharp. Keep your wits sharper. Keep your victims guessing. And remember your roots! If ever in doubt, hop over to YouTube and watch more Jolly and Moody.
Yeah, fuck this.
You aren't listening anymore, you aren't reading anymore. You're just taking whatever I say and twisting it until you meet your own agenda.
Seriously. Read this again.

What part of this isn't sneaky or smart?

I don't think we should get kills? Did you even READ the words afterwards?
Running around and shotgunning logis in the back. Dragging them out and away, picking them off one by one. Remoting, assassinating, aggravating and accomplishing objectives. The strength of a scout is the ability to CHOOSE your fights. That doesn't mean you should avoid them completely, running around trying to make sure you aren't seen. You want to take fights you can win, and then reposition.
That has ALWAYS been the essence of scouting. You are outclassed in HP by a longshot. To pay for it, you're fast and stealthy. Mindgames have always been an essence in how I play, and Its always been how I've told people to succeed. You want to be a clever, sneaky little bastard.
But you don't see that in my posts anymore.
All you see is the people I've been friends with. The people who I've agreed with.
And you've let that twist your mind, and thus, your words.
You've seen me play. My scout is ANYTHING but passive and avoiding combat. I'm always in the middle of everything, riding thin line between life and death and using the abilities of the suit to survive and overcome. I've never told anyone that your job is to hide, run around and do nothing (Short of games where you're going to lose anyways, which I've always pointed to easy ways to get WP without breaking your bank).
But I might as well be talking to a wall.
I've been in this thread since almost the beginning. The first 50 pages, and I want to say post 20 or something is when I've joined.
My input has almost always been valued, or at least considered. I've been playing this game for a long time, and have had an excellent track record.
But that all changed when I said I was supporting a friend. I've watched almost everything I've said get discounted you. And as I've pointed out, a lot of the advice I'm giving is actually IN LINE with what you want to say. But you don't see that.
So I'm hiding your posts.
First person I've EVER done this to, by the way. I can live with people disagreeing with me. I'm fine with people arguing with me, as most of you have probably seen over the past 2 years.
I'm not fine with people twisting my words, ignoring what I'm saying, and trying to paint me as a villain, especially when the advice I'm giving is effective in teaching people how to play the role in a way that benefits both them, and the team.
I honestly hope you read this and take a good long, HARD look at my last post, and the post from yours I'm referencing.
I don't need or expect an apology.
All I want you to do is actually read what I'm writing.
And if you can't handle that, I won't even bother reading what you're posting. I have a nasty habit of wanting to argue nearly everything, so hiding those posts will prevent me from bashing my head against a wall that simply doesn't want to budge.

I don't know what made me think of this, but I had an idea.
We had more than a few talks about how scout uplinks should be harder to scan down right? I've been playing EVE and been playing with Covert Ops ships now for a while.
Uplinks are basically Cynos. They're easy to detect and lets people jump from one place to another (Spawn to ground).
So shouldn't scouts have access to covert ops uplinks?
They would be a new item with different stats. Huge CPU/PG to fit. Scale CPU/PG and skill so that Scout I lets you easily fit Basic Covert Ops uplinks, III lets you fit adv easily and V lets you fit proto easily (And by Easy, I mean comparable to normal uplinks).
They would be very hard to scan. I'm talking sub 20 range for the basic, with proto being as low as 13 (Math needed, I want passive scout scans to pick it up at close range). They also don't have the stupid sound or beam of light. Just a hunk of metal on the ground.
It would have high spawn times and low spawn counts. To counter, the scout carries quite a few of them. They're made so that a scout can wander a city undetected, and drop spawns that won't broadcast where he's at or going. Since Gal Logi's won't be able to sweep the links with their scans, strong scanning scouts would be needed to counter their links. A Cal Scout would be well suited to sweeping these links (And probably be able to find the scout as well).
What do you think?
Can we even make new assets in this game?

Jolly's rise of scout vid is a good example of scout killing. Moody's 60 bomb is a prime example of what went wrong. This is what assaults should be best at. A scout should have to rely on stealth. Completely agree. Just watched the duration the "60 bomb" (skimmed over it earlier) ... looked like 1.8 at its worst. Grabbed that one in response to Ghost's "all you need to do is a handful". There's no good reason to limit high kill games to other classes. If a Scout is good enough, there's nothing wrong design-wise with him posting 20+ kills. I agree with this. So long as stealth was necessary to achieve the kills, there is no reason a scout can't get a high kill count. They will not generally get as high as assaults though by design. That is because stealth kills are less efficient. It is much quicker to point a gun at someone 60m away and blast them, or to run directly at the enemy with a cooked grenade, than it is to stealth through a flanking manoeuvre and perform hit and run. This is particularly true when farming noobs like in Moody's 60 kills video. The trade-off for that efficiency is a scout's greater mobility and stealth, which brings it's own varied strategic value. Though we must not forget that assaults also bring a lot to the table that scouts don't, without involving killing. The ability to absorb the enemy's attention, tank damage, create a numbers advantage by grouping up, mutual cover and support. These are all things that assaults bring to the table to balance a scout's disruption and ganking ability. When I decide between assault or scout in a given situation, it is not the question of whether I want to kill the enemy that informs that decision. It is about whether I want to fight with solidarity, or misdirection. The system will really be working correctly if the combined kills of a scout and an assault are greater than that of two scouts or two assaults. I like to think of scouts as a specialised suits, whereas assaults are more generalist. That means that assaults will be the best option in the largest number of circumstances, and therefore will perform the best on average and attract the largest number of players. This means scouts are free to be good at what they do, their "particular set of skills", whilst still being less common on the battlefield.
I've never said that you shouldn't be dropping 20+ kills, just that its not needed to do your job. I drop 20+ myself from time to time, and I don't feel that the scout is under performing at all. In some scenarios, scouts can be far more efficient at slaying than assaults. Typically in environments with lots of cover and objectives that are fairly close to each other. Cities are scout havens for a reason.
As for the underlined, I agree completely.
They are made to walk into almost any situation and be able to handle threats with their mobility, arms, and health. That alone helps make them the mainstay suit. There is almost no situation where bringing an assault is a BAD idea.
In some cases though, bringing a scout is far, far more deadly.

Varoth Drac wrote:So are we considering the triple damped Gal scout?
It's not a worthless suit, I've got one made up in my armoury. BUT, it is hardmode, there's no two ways about it.
I'm quite a fan of scouts being difficult to use, to a point. As a player who has been using scouts since beta, plays near the top levels of competitive Dust, and is specifically asked to run scout often because of my abilities, despite being skilled into and practiced with, a number of other roles, I can say that it is very difficult to use a triple damped Gal scout, even if it can still perform some critical roles well, the game always comes to combat, and combat with the suit is very difficult.
The PC meta has changed a lot over time. It is more balanced than ever, but the city sockets are ruled by speed tanked shotgun assaults, and the outside points are ruled by coordinated groups of rifle assaults. Some maps are ruled by high ground commandos and forge guns. Logis are always useful for their equipment, but the rep+sentinel is suffering a serious squeeze from the biotic shotgun assaults.
This is not pre-1.8, where scouts were as rare as people's understanding of how to fight them. People know how to fight scouts, and are prepared.
On outside points, this means that angles are covered, flanks and rears are watched, cloak shimmers are spotted, players cover each other.
In built up areas the assaults are fast. I can no stress this enough. The speed and regen advantages of scouts are minute compared to what they were, or non-existent. These assaults can not be caught, or escaped from. They will hunt you down. The age old adage that you shouldn't chase a scout no longer really applies. A spotted scout must run and hide and hope the enemy gives up looking.
Myos give suits, particularly mediums, excellent defence from alpha weapons. This is a major factor. In the city my logi will scan any scout around a corner, including the 3x damp Gallente. It will also tank a shotgun round and one-shot the scout with it's shotgun. It is also negligibly slower than the scout and is equipped with a myo providing excellent defence from alpha strikes. And that's just a logi. On outside points my assault can jump onto creates with 360deg view of the surrounding area, outside of knife reach, difficult to hit with a shotgun.
A single damped Gal scout is difficult. A triple damped Gal scout is very situational.
As I mentioned earlier, 1x damp and 2x damp are all you need for 90% of scenarios.
But that last 10%, the 3x damp gal scout makes Gal Logi's RAGE.
They get so frustrated when their 4x Focused Scanner suit is useless on you. They keep thinking that they just haven't hit you yet. While they spam scans, you shotgun them in the back
Oh, and you can't scan 3x damped gal Scouts.
With skills on a Gal Logi, the Proto Focused active scan only gets 15 dB. 3x Damps gets you 14 dB.

Scouts are definitely not more efficient than assaults at slaying in a city. This was the case for a long time, but not anymore. Strategic city control and assistance with killing? Yes, good and complimentary to the main force. Slaying efficiency in a city socket? No, get an assault. Scouts can slay in the city, but they are definitely not as good at it as assaults. Not that i'm complaining about this. As we have been discussing, slaying efficiency doesn't equal usefulness. And scouts certainly can kill in a city.
It really depends on how much scan they bring. If they're smart, they will make you run 2x damps which really hampers your defensive and offensive capabilities.
If they don't make you damp, you can really abuse your speed and regen.
But yes, against MOST teams, Assaults are the way for slaying.
Against guys in pubs who don't scan? I'd take the scout any day. That 1x Damp Gal Scout fit I linked is nasty in those scenarios.

What do you think?
Can we even make new assets in this game? I like it, sounds like a fun addition. I've often wondered how the game would be if uplinks were drastically changed. Imagine if there were two types of uplink. One was carried and allowed players to spawn on you. If you die the link would be lost. The other type was deployable, but only allowed you to spawn on your own link, and only once. Perhaps this could be your covert ops version - scout only. You would not be allowed to carry both. The game would be very different. No more uplink spam to control areas. Vehicle transport would be more important. As would movement across ground, taking the focus away from CQC environments. edit: I think your idea is probably better.
Equipment would be a local jump portal. When activated, signature bloom makes you a LOT easier to scan. I'm thinking it could would like a rep tool or something. Hold down, have a charge time. At full charge lets, someone spawn in. Has a brief cooldown after a spawn in.
Or you could go the passive route. Once again, sig bloom on use, but you can just flip it on like a cloak, but have it running while you have another weapon out. People can spawn on you, but you're essentially the uplink.
Lots of cool things can be done with both, but I highly doubt they would be made.

My dad is a prime example of this. Damn near killed his marriage with drinking.
"Sorry Honey, I was drunk" turned out to be a horrible excuse he found out.

To be fair, i absolutely despise alcohol, my grandparents are alcoholics. I know exactly how horrible it is. Yes, it is an absolutely ******* terrible excuse, but sometimes it actually is an excuse. I am no alcoholic, i am 24, second time i have been drunk in my life. But i am out of weed and a bud of mine yaegerbombed me, i have trouble saying no sometimes. I do apologize greatly for my actions while under that, but I don't remember **** from yesterday at all. I was telling John in skype and he was like "i bet you went 90/0 last night and don't even remember" Again, i do apologize, glad i am getting more weed. Sorry about your dad man.
He's fine now. He went through some REALLY tough times when I was going through high school. Half the reason I played Dust so much.
But ever since, I lost a lot of sympathy for anyone who claimed drunk as an excuse. Forgive me for sounding like a tool about it, but its just a product of my upbringing by now.

Dump the CB for a Damp and you'd probably have enough.
Heck, I'd personally go Proto Shield Extender, Advanced Shield Extender, Proto Sidearm Damage mod. 2 Kincats, Damp. Add whatever equipment you want.
As for the Ishukone Assault SMG, there's actually a story behind it.
Amarrians used to use Vitoxin as a way to control their slaves. It was a poison that required daily antidotes to prevent complications.
The Caldari Ishukone corporation developed a cure for it called "Insorum". They mass produced and distributed this. Since Vitoxin was a slow, painful death; the Minmatar praised the corporation for it.
This is why the SMG is named after the Ishukone (Or so I've been told).

The Division will appeal to a different audience. I find the two only slightly comparable.
The Division looks to be similar to Dragon Age in the way it plays. Full control with emphasis on tactics and abilities. It'll feel like an FPS, but play like a tactics game.
Siege is very similar. While FPS is a core design of Siege, the tactics are far more important. Good breaching and CQC etiquette will net you more kills than your FPS prowess. That's where the similarities end.
Leveling and Weapon acquisition will play a HUGE role in The Division. Looking at "The Dark Zone" I keep seeing thrown around, it will feel quite a bit like WoW or other games with dedicated PvP areas with better loot. A large part of the appeal for The Division will probably come from people who want to get a group they're comfortable with to go do some "Dungeon Raiding" and killing other players they come across.
Siege on the other hand, just goes deeper into tactics. All the game modes are 5v5 with different objectives, and only a handful of maps (Around 7 iirc). However, these maps are STUDDED with versatility. Most maps are 3 story with everyone capable of rappelling to the top. Multiple entrance points make it impossible to stop attackers from entering the building by barricading. Thus, most of the tactics come down to finding a defensible area, locking down routes to it, and trying to funnel and anticipate the target. Made very difficult by the fact that a LOT of walls and areas can be breached. Defending requires a keen eye for lines of sight and possible breach points, while attacking requires a strong sense of CQC tactics and mindgames.
It's like CS:GO. It's a defined niche with TONS of depth. I fully expect The Division to appeal to a larger audience, but games like that don't appeal to me as much. Destiny was fun for like a month. EVE retains appeal solely because I can switch up playstyle at the drop of a hat (Roaming, Exploring, Market, Small Gang, PvE, PvP, etc). I expect for me that the Division will be very similar to Destiny in appeal, and be fun for about a month or two before I drop it.
Here's to hoping that it isn't. I'll still probably rent the game and give it a go when it drops.
And yes, Lizzy Hale has an amazing set of pipes. I love Halestorm.
Love bites is still one of my favorite songs by them

I already have it on PC.
Important things to note: It has a season pass if you want to buy it. Tons of bells and whistles.
Has promised a monthly patch cycle (First one out 15 days since release)
Year long development cycle.
No paywall, immediate access to new content
I've stopped supported EA for the stupid paywall reasons. I'll happily give Ubisoft my money for this.
R6 will always have a niche community. The hardcore one will survive no matter what happens, if Ubisoft has any brain whatsoever.
There is quite a bit of issues, but I wouldn't say any are truly game breaking, although the server issue is annoying as hell. I have to restart the program a few times until I get a US server. Ubisoft is aware and is going to let players choose their server as a fix.

Well, you see, that is hardly logical, he could simply just upload his wins and only those. I just can not understand how in Hell that uploading more wins makes you better, if I upload only wins and have more videos than say for example, yourself, does that make me better? I would argue against that, as anyone who has seen me play in a squad knows I am not some excellent player who hits 66/6 every bloody game. I have my moments and all where sometimes I happen to go 48/11 and such for several games in a row, but getting sidetracked. That just isn't logical, and I struggle to see how it could be believed so, even in the worst moments of weakness of ego. Am I just missing something or is it just plain illogical to everyone else too?
It is illogical.
I tried to explain it ages ago.
I found out that arguing with a wall was more productive than arguing with him.
So I stopped.

You can also throw AV grenades on the ground and they'll explode when vehicles run over them within a few seconds.

I'd argue that the old tech isn't yet sufficiently outdated. MGS:V is huge, beautiful and complex. Check out the the side-by-side PS3/PS4 comparisons; it runs smoothly on both systems, without noticeable differences. I'd also argue that pay-for PSN was a bad move for a number of reasons. That's the problem. New games are being held back by old tech. Think about it this way, if the PS3 is able to keep up, how much is the PS4 version behind held back. I too am annoyed that I have to pay to play with my buddies and I don't really see many benefits from paying vs free on PS3.
PC is best.
Sold my PS4 for PC.

Just woke up, that post was from just before I fell asleep.
Hangover did not happen. I did drink a lot of water in those two hours before sleeping. I am also 21, and my sister told me hangovers would be damn near impossible.
I feel bad for my other sister though. She felt obligated to be my drinking buddy. She threw up as we left the bar
I also lost a game of tic-tac-toe in my experiment of drunkenness. I still had the state of mind to quickly destroy the evidence however.

I wouldn't say its hard, it just has a large learning curve. Its technical skill is no different than any other shooter. Wanna be really good at the game? Learn how to prefire. Like hell! Any other shooter I could play with my eyes closed. With Rainbow Six if I'm not on my toes, music muted so I can listen for noises, checking corners and cutting off sightlines and riding on quick reflexes then my performance is severely limited. The skillcap is enormous. I don't think it's even close to being the hardest FPS out there, but it's definitely hard. I also disagree with that last point, most FPS games don't emphasize headshots nearly as much as R6:S. I've seen high level players tear through entire teams like they're warm butter because they know exactly how to hit headshots every time.
Implying I don't play every FPS like that
Yeah, the headshot game is strong too, but that is still part of prefiring. You open fire just before turning the corner and firing where you THINK someones head might be. If its a popular camp spot, I'll waste the ammo if I have to. Most of the time, nobodies there.
But that ONE time someones there, you get a kill and get called a hacker
I'd say the hardest part of this game to learn is proper reinforcing. Attacking is easy, just hit the point from as many angles as possible at once. Use abilities, grenades, etc to try and split their attention and create crossfires.
Defending is a whole different game. ONE misplaced reinforcement can literally cause you to lose a match. You never want to isolate yourself as it makes that attacking part easier. You need to have everyone on point, communicating, reinforcing and covering different sectors, while remaining flexible enough to shift attentions as needed.
I've played against some of the best teams in the game, their defensive game is FUCKING STRONG. eMp clan in particular. Hell, I've scrimmed against my own groups A-Team and gotten my ass kicked (CRYO). It's the competitive games that I live for in this game.
I'd play ranked more, but sadly the hacking is pretty blatant now in there. I mainly do pubs and scrims.

At that point, Damage per clip for each weapon will be identical.
Damage per shot is heavily in the Breaches favor, but raw DPS still favors the normal shotgun.

That's some quality drugs you're on there.
This game has always been as fun as you make it.
It's not the suit, its the player.
You can fun in any suit if you throw caution to the wind and just enjoy the chaos.
For example, I used to fit BPO Gal Scouts with only Core Locus nades.
I would die 10 times in a match, but would have a literal BLAST doing so.

Guardians of the Galaxy had everything you need to make a hit movie nowadays.
Excellent Soundtrack
Likable Main Characters
Sparodic comedy in good taste
Easy to understand and engaging plot
Seriously, combine the above with even decent actors and CG and you'll have a hit.

The part where they're confused about rockets and Gl's not killing is a feature, not a bug.
Rockets and GL's have a MINIMUM arming distance, to prevent accidents. If they collide with an object before the minimum arm distance is reached, they stay duds.
Those guys are also pretty horrible, in multiple ways. How can you get enjoyment from watching that? They literally just walked around, did nothing, spewed rasicst stuff and then teamkilled in spawn.

It's entertaining and surprisingly dark once you start going down the rabbit hole.
Ferris and Ryner make for a damn entertaining duo.
One of my favorite scenes from the show has them finding this ancient relic, and then getting pissed at the fact that the king even sent them out to get it after so much hassle.
So they throw it. Cause screw you Mr. King (Who they are both friends with).
It lands in the dirt and lo and behold, turns into a dragon.
They then decide that such a fight isn't worth their effort. They literally leave it for someone else to deal with (With some side characters mentioning that they should clean up their messes because they're supposed to be heroes and ****.)
Take that predictable shows. OUR HEROES BARELY MEET MINIMUM EXPECTATIONS.

The rest of the world has moved on and isn't fooled the the dog and pony show they trot out every year with the same problems.
Not really sure how anyone could think Nova (even if it is ever released) will be worth the time to play. It's bastardized unreal tournament code with dust skins on them.

So you completely literally don't understand development. And honestly, not a biggie.. You just really don't understand a kickstarter development as they put forth... and can't follow the necessary business building they had to do to get to 2.4. If you had any concept of it, you'd be impressed. Trust me ;) Chris Roberts is > to the fiftieth power > helmar. No worries. You are just a kid. Get some paychecks under your belt, some life experience, and the internet won't be jacking you so hard. And to be honest, CCP likes suckers like you. o7
"It's really cool dude, the vision is there, they just need time to do it!"
I may be the sucker for CCP, but you're the sucker for every kickstarter campaign ever.
I'll believe that the game is happening once its fully released. So far its been nothing but "Oh hey, we can't hit this release date because we're working on this COOL NEW FEATURE". My biggest fear for it is that it will repeat this over and over and eventually find that they're trying to do too much at once, and then release an unpolished game.
I'll be honest with you. The game has me intrigued. If it ever DOES come out, I'll definitely try it. But they aren't getting a dime until then.
But hey, ultimately its your money to spend. If you're having fun and enjoying the alpha, that's all that matters.
I just found it hilarious that you're saying the ship has sailed on Nova after a few months, when you've been waiting on a game for a few years.
That shit is hilarious.

As for games; Arma and DnD for the most part. I play single player games when nobody else is on.
Alien Isolation is a masterpiece and every horror fan should play it. On Hard.

PUBG is a few steps away from becoming a game I would regularly play.
They already made First Person Only Servers, which is good. I despised playing it with friends when playing first person was literally handicapping yourself.
They need to enforce foliage on all clients. Once again, handicapping yourself if you aren't doing it. Being able to actually use concealment would be nice.
After that I'd personally just enjoy a meaningful stamina system and more realistic damage modeling. I want to be able to pop someones legs and watch them try to crawl to cover.

I forget, but did Arma 3 have such settings? I remember having to play at low some for the most advantage.
Yeah, but I don't play Arma against players so its not an issue.
The group I play with does missions against AI with a DM-Like guy creating and tweaking a scenario on the fly. Lots of fun.

Yo if you guys haven't already, you should hop on the Dust Vets Discord. Invite link here.
We talk Nova stuff on a regular basis and have a gaming lobby to chat and stuff. Organize some PUBG games maybe? I'd love to see Shotty, One Eye, Mollerz, Jolly and the rest of you on there, since I can't talk to any of you outside of these dust forums (which I check infrequently). I check discord daily.
If you want to play with me and not go through discord; my Steam is here.
Been ages since we chatted and hung out together, I'd love to touch base with you guys again.
EDIT: LMAO my steam page. I had a buddy buy me Nekopara as a joke and I promised to at least try it since he spent money on it. Jesus that game is weeb incarnate.

If anyone gets this let me know, spent a couple hours last night killing some old dust peoples on it.
Duck Game is fun, but only for like 3 hours.
Once you've played all the minigames it gets boring. It was free on Steam once and some friends and I played it for like 4 hours and had a blast, but had no desire to purchase it when we were done.
