Just got my lvl 3 gal scout suit last night.
Getting there.
Seems that I rifle, sight a little quicker on my sniper than previous.
I can run like a mofo thou, but still easy meat for an AR even at distance.

But I'm surprised you have double repairer, rather than 1 ferroscale or something. for that little bit EXTRA :) I was originally going to ask about how you stayed alive that much. but with 300 extra HP, not too much of a mystery :-P When I slap double armor on my regular scout, i tend to stay alive a lot longer too! That being said, anyone want to share how they stay significantly on the positive-kill side, in lesser scout suits? Particularly since most of the time, I have to run with dampers rather than armor. I've occasionally had fairly positive highs doing the objective camping schtick. But man, I get SO BORED doing that... blah. So when playing solo, I mostly end up running around doing crazy things to experiment :)
Keeriam did just fine with that, and still ran like a mofo.
I will try once I get enough sp for complexes. |

FWIW, yesterday (?)
running with a great all scout squad,
we jump into a skirmish.
Nobody there but us, the squad.
we hacked up everything, mopped the floors,
LAV tag, Dropship bungee jumping, etc.
Crazy I tell ya.

I can not save the day. I am a squishy.
I found myself in matches in the last few days in pubs or FW,
trying to keep it all together when all falls apart.
But I have a dinner table cloth for shields.
But alas, I can not resist to attempt to try, and I die all the time trying.
Being new and have only 2mil= sp does not help. But, I try.
Just dump 700k sp in SMG instead of shields just so I can fight, make a stand against my foe.
Sometimes it works, mostly it does not. I am no match to an AR, or many others for that matter.
Still, I fight in defiance recklessly in my squishy suite.
Not an easy path for a upcoming scout. Dam rough actually.

I'm in a similar boat on one of my alts. I would suggest that, unfortunatley, you made a big mistake in putting that much in a weapon, before survivability. Plus, the whole ideal of "making a stand" is off. You shouldnt be standing, you should be running ! You're a scout! :D Instead of that last 300k(?) in SMG, you should have put it in armor. At least level 1. If you insist on going on non-ninja confrontations, then having a bunch more armor, will probably help you die only half as much ;-) If you have logi support,you can go double full armor modules. armor level 3 would make that 220 extra HP otherwise, you "only" get 170 extra. If you dont have logi support, make it 1 armor plate, 1 reactive. At armor level 1, that gives you 110 extra HP plus 1 point of repair.
Thank you for the observations, support, and tips.
You may not be getting what I am trying to convey.
I know all what you have pointed out. I know I have should of dumped it in shields and armor. I know this.
I know I should run and strafe. I know this.
I also know my prior SMG (militia), as it was, just a pellet gun to whom I am against.
Sure, I can kill with ease with my sniper rifle, but if I am being seeked and pounced on,
I have nothing to defend myself with. Sure, uping my shields, armor, may give me a little more flee time,
but, not really. any AR handling merc can willy nilly shoot threw a band aid paper towel 100m away.
Scouts, we die alot. This is known. If I have to make a stand, at least I want something to make a stand with
while I save up sp for shields, armor, knives, explosives, hacking, oh the list goes on and on.

Appia, you will be missed. You look great in the suit.
For the most part, I tested and tweeked a mousey controller system. It does good, I am sure it will do better when I have a correct pad for it to track on. But, being use to a PS controller for over 15 years... A new learning curve is what I was NOT expecting.
Mousey has it's merits, need a little more time with it.... maybe.

Now recently its seen a spike in popularity, certainly, but it has not actually changed or gained any power (save for the range buff in 1.7) . The perceived power of the weapon has far more to do with the (now declining) popularity of shield fits, which the scrambler rifle absolutely wrecks.
All that to say - correlation =/= causation. People cried over the Flaylock because it was actually broken. CCP fixed the Flaylock because it was broken, not because people cried. And now, word is spreading that the Scrambler rifle is actually good and thus victims are complaining more (which they do about any weapon they frequently die to whether its OP or not). If the complaints about the Scrambler had been consistent all the way back to Uprising 1.0 it would be one thing.....but the community accepted that it was fine at the time, and for the most part it still is.
As far as the future goes - too early to tell. CCP will watch how all this plays out with the new rifles, but Scrambler rifle users need not fear the nerfbat for the immediate future. Just because people are crying about it does not mean CCP recognizes it as a problem. If they do, I've missed a post or comment somewhere.
Heinrich Jagerblitzen wrote:
Yes, hit detection improved in 1.6, but this is NOT the same as the Scrambler rifle performance itself changing. Many weapons improved in 1.6, including the AR, SMG, and Scrambler pistol. This is what is causing the frustration over TTK, but it is generalized across many weapons not just the Scrambler Rifle.
While you are correct that a change to the rifle occurred, it was hardly one that suddenly broke the weapon, compared to the generalized "buff" that most weapons received when hit detection was improved.
The above sets of statements are perhaps both technically accurate, though they stipulate separate causation and arguably posit distinct implications. Kindly permit my paraphrasing (as attempt only to elaborate): Statement 1) Stipulation: Any observed "change" in the ScR's in-game performance is resultant of mercs' fits having changed, the popularity of the ScR having changed, QQ levels having changed, etc. But in reality "it has not actually changed or gained any power." Implication: CCP has dismissed your concerns about the ScR as unsubstantiated QQ.
Statement 2) Stipulation: Hit detection changes in 1.6 quickened the ScR's TTK, alongside those of other weapons like the AR, SMG, ScP. Nothing technically changed on paper. Implication: CCP is aware of the TTK issues, specifically as it relates to the ScR and other high RoF weapons (excluding the HMG).
Following Uprising 1.3, if I recall correctly, you wrote an article about "projectile weapon" performance improvements on your blog. This improvement we Scouts had labeled (incorrectly, I know) as an "AR Buff", as it improved the AR's odds of insta-gibbing us without having changed the weapon's base properties. Sure, other weapons may have been affected, but not affected by the same degree. Not even close. More recently, following Uprising 1.6, a similar phenomena was observed as it relates to ScRs and aScRs. While these weapons were not technically "buffed" on paper, they absolutely changed in that they acquired the ability to insta-gib a Scout whereas before they could not. When a weapon's in-game performance changes, "balance" is absolutely affected, whether or not that weapon's base properties were changed. If weapons were balanced in 1.0, and mechanical changes to follow affected some weapons more than others, then we have created a state of weapon "imbalance" by very definition. If we set out to impact weapon performance (through mechanical tweaks) each and every build, then shouldn't QA be prepared to tweak weapon properties up/down accordingly? How is it that we are seven builds in -- having undergone numerous mechanical tweaks -- without any significant adjustments? If we fly this craft uncalibrated, what can we hope to collect when checking our gauges?
Also, thank you for checking in (seriously). And thank you for your clarification. o7
damm! who is this "new guy".......

in regards to tanks since 1.7,
as a ded sniper,
and I am sure I am not the only one,
Less mercs on the field to be had
more or less, map dependents.
more snipers, more RR's.
The fields are less of tanks now,
again, map dependent,
with "costs" of finally hitting home...
But still, a big game changer.
another note,
I have dumped a lot of sp into specific positive allocations of CPU %'s
allowing me to fit up specific moduals and weapons. Nada. it is a sink hole.
Only a 1% positive value per huge amount sp investment yielded grief.

My weekly Sunday Kahn Scout report.
still ded scout, @ 7.5+ sp now, since my inception 9/2013.
I still favour the minja suit (adv.) over the Gal (adv.).
speed, hi slots, are trumping the gal 3 lows.
I do plan on bringing on back a Gal suit for speed, speed hacking thou, soon.
The combat Rifle... damm. Perfect for a scout, and still enjoy it.
Sniper rifle... I am still ded sniper. It is getting rough thou.
the animosity being of gets to me at times, but I keep at it
despite it's recent short comings and system nerfs, I keep at it,
have too much invested in it.
Next Sp investments for the future:
more up on Cardo regs
get into KinKats
More up on Combat Rifle
( I have given up on the SMG, I have a glitch, no auto reload, and CCP knows it, but does nada)
Prof 5 on sniper rifle, reload time.
Hacking
Nanos and uplinks
Basically an even keel across the board in suit upgrades.
Surprisingly I have kept to my role goal since the start,
speed, agility, Hack, uplink spam, field reports (when squaded), snipe/ counter snipe.
and
still having fun

My weekly on going ded scout report.
I just went above 8mil sp last night, It is nice feel, and getting there.
Still a ded sniper, but... It is getting harder to be a sniper these days in Dust.
It seems the sniper rifle / role of is being quietly nerf'd under the radar.
So many things have digressed, all well documented by fellow, really good ded snipers.
Dropped into a sqirm match last night, 9 on my team, 5 on the opposition. Great Time!
I was a Hacking fool running around willy nilly Mollerz style, it was fun.
I also encountered a new to me combo.... Heavy/ HMG/ Dropship.
This guy pounded me every time I cloned in and ran for cover. Brutal. Brilliant. Snipers had no chance with this guy.
Finally smarts kicked in and got out my BPO swarm launcher too out, and that abated Him from me for the rest
of the match.
Scrambler Rifle. Yes. My new toy. Since my character has a glitch/ bug on my side arms (no auto reload when mag empties)
and sniper nerfs, I need to broaden my horizons. I have "tried it before", but now I have a higher SP allocation,
The Scrambler is very nice for me, with the scrambler pistol as a side. I can run willy nilly.
We need a scout party.
thanks to all for support my bros and sis's.
Looking forward to see you out on the field, and in chat.

I believe it is all weapons. Some days weapons of choice work better than others.
there is some kind of inconsistency going on here, be it servers of what not,
or,
CCP has an auto selectable random generator stupid switch for accounts
Ex. Friday, I use the Scrambler Rifle, awesome. Killin abandom.
saturday, same suit, Scrambler Rifle, I couldn't kill a fly with it.
Just one example of the plethra of weapons I have tried, same story.

- Cloak can be deactivated by selecting it and pressing fire.
- Once deactivated or it runs out it will start to recharge.
- Firing a weapon while cloaked will rapidly deplete the cloak field (a single shot from a sniper rifle, for instance, will decloak you)
- You can only fit one cloak field at a time.

Now that something is put on the table (lets play poker, and who is bluffing)
"they" are are all but hurt, but fine with there bullet spray guns over 100m

You know that better than most, being a vet for some time now Ark.
But,
where there is creativity, there will be OP no matter what is implemented.
It has been done a many time here on Dust and will continue to do so.
exploitation to the end result of near closest thing to OP is part of the game.
Plenty of smart 514 nerds to figure it out in two shakes of a lambs tail.

Since 1.7 deployment, passive scanning has gone to the toilet, for me at least.
I could see just about everything coming around me.
Now I might get a blip here and there within 10m.
I do not even see tanks, LAV's, derps until it is too late to do anything,

my week in scouting purgatory continues...
Today, comcast internet issues all day. Not good.
Had a window of time to play after in the eve and did well.
Perfect map, perfect timing, perfect uplink spot.
I went 20/0 with my CSR. awesome sniper moment for me.
I also tried another rifle, The R/R.
it is nice, but...
I have come to the conclusion that I do not have the dexterity
for one on one gun game.
Either my ADS just goes everywhere while I am trying to shoot,
or trying to shoot while being popped by one bullet and lay'd down to dirt.
Happens all the time. Wasting my clones and coin. I need to wise up.
I did enjoy using a shotty for a bit with my GAL suit, still, I am paper thin.
and they know it.
To compensate my lack of endevours to actually kill and make sp and isk,
I have resulted into spamming uplinks and hacking when opportunity knocks.
After that, it's off to keen places to snipe, counter sniper.
One bullet, one headshot, for whom the bells tolls, very satisfying.
I have noticed alot of mercs are running faster now... swapping shield mods for kinkats and regs?
Still a ded scout, still a ded sniper...
Thou, that could change when changes are upon us.... soonish.
Cloaks.
can be good for scout... Could. like others have stated, logi will benefit the most
if implemented as most stuff has that I have seen so far since 1.5.... geez.

Scout Registry wrote:@ Keeriam
In case of misunderstanding, would you be as deadly a Scout Sniper if you did not have a Sidearm?
@ Everyone
Keeriam is among the deadliest Scout Snipers in Dust. He is Russian, but his English is good.
1. As a ded scout sniper myself, the loss of a side arm would not allow me to defend myself.
And I do not want to stay in the redline to snipe, I need to go to my locations with some kind of backup.
Hip firing a sniper rifle against any other rifle, side arm, etc. is not a win, for me at least.
2. I have heard of the Keeriam fellow.... we were suppose to hook up sometime ago for some one on one
insight of the sport of, but alas, has never came to light

Being new here to this game compared to you true vet scouts, (I know who you are, you know who you are),
I feel I do not have much to say, contribute in regards of,
if anything, I spew my climb of trials and tribulations towards scout worthiness.
I admire and respect those who are trying to intelligently fix the role of,
and methodically bring the class to its intended stature to what it should be.
CPM's, I understand and appreciate the liaison work that you have done and the information you have provided,
But,
My thought,
It be nice if a round table of true discussion of the demise of the scout would be brought forth
with true full time scouteers, CPM's who are indeed scouts, and a CCP that has open ears.
Since my inception of the game, 4 months now, I have witnessed and experienced some heavy changes
to play, but wishful hugs and loves for scout since. I based my choice as scout because I was more less led
to think that it is only temporary to be semi gimped scout role. Better things around the corner for the scout.
So, I stick with it. Now the talk of is full on rampant with everybody all up in up.
Back on track, I think a round table type of event is in order instead of settling on what actually is reveled, tried, and soon nerfed or....
ain't we just a passionate bunch...
rant over. I can breath now.

what "We" got from you, and the replies from Devs

Big changes are coming, and for once, for the scout.
Thou I have seen lack of blogs, Dev's commenting on threads,
I am cool with that, patients. There is a lot to be done prior to 1.8
They will come back, refreshed with new vigor and determination.

even thou I might be new to the game, 11ml+ sp, 2ml+ sp banked,
