I'd like to be added to the registry... although I have no idea what my kills are at the moment, but I did pull off a 7 kill streak with knives last night  I've been running scout for as long as I've been in DUST, 5+ months. Love the uses and diversity of what you can pull off. I'm a terrible shot under pressure so bringing knives to a gun fight is always fun. Get in drop links in key places, draw enemies out, hack fast and keep the slow people around the battlefield trying to do damage control to the disruption we scouts cause  could not play it any other way. |

had today an ambush match, tried knives on the first spawn and got so many blue shield swipes and died to a militia AR with not able to kill someone... switched angry then to the shotgun and got a killstreak of 19 without dying that match. strange that the knives didnt worked that game but the shotgun did...i had games where it was vice versa....
interesting how the dynamics of what you are up against can shift the value of weapon selection. Goes to show adaptability is extremely important.

I'm in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada and 34 yrs old. Ps your never too old to play vids so don't let them tell you otherwise. ;)
Also Canada, but the other side of the country, and 36 yrs old.... first video game was some text based pirate game on the comadore 16... it ran on a cassette... yeah awesome times  first "gun game" was duckhunt lol
Played a few matches tonight much happier with the match system now that... it you know... makes matches 
First off I never was a huge killer to begin with... i run knives because i am a crap shot... seriously firefights go poorly for me. Sniping i do fine, knives i do better than guns, which is why i use them, more interesting than sniping most of the time. Okay so now that i have established my lameness in shooting, most of my sp comes from the infiltrating in drop links and hacking... knives of opportunity contribute. Some things that I noticed.
- AR seems to be far more common now
- less MD... probably switched over to ARs but could not say for sure.
- for some reason i throw grenades at a 45 degree angle to the left 
- people seem to be far more aware of their surroundings, they seem to be actively looking on the screen for you.
- i had a few failed attempts to scan on me which seems to mean my dampeners are working (not maxed yet but i think that is the way i will go)
- the *you have been scanned* message makes me feel violated in some strange way... it's creepy
Overall it's going to take some trial and error to get back in full go mode again. never cared much how much i died before, and really not much of a difference in numbers. Though not frustrating me, it seems i die to easily, not just the one bullet rips me apart (which it does) but i seem to be making stupid mistakes i did not make (as often) before. Meh, give another go tomorrow. |

Blowing things up is always enjoyable and the more interesting ways you can do it the more fun it is... surprise placements are always great... when they don't know you were even there all the better. Experimentation is always fun with bombs. I wish you could actually put them in a LAV drive top speed eject and BOOM. Sadly this does not work, as they just fall off  |

I tested it by skilling Gallente Medium Dropsuit to 3 and Gallente Logistics Dropsuit to 2. It has 2 bonuses (also labeled weird) that show up on the fitting screen.
Results are that the ONLY skill that effects your bonus is the Gallente Scout Dropsuit skill. Taking the Gallente Light Dropsuit to 5 does nothing at all and is a total waste of time and effort.

I need to spec into ARs or ScRs. All these new maps favor mid-range combat. From the complete hate of snipers to the very long distances from one installation to another. There is just no way I can run around with a shotgun or sniper rifle.
Even the Research facility favors the AR. With long (20m+) hallways that are 2 person wide, even without aim assist you just shoot down the middle and guarantee hits.
Most of these facilities have multiple ways to access the hallways, look around and you can get behind the folks holding the choke point. Three dimensionally as well, so many of these maps have given me the opportunity to Nova Knife death from above. Often we are speedy enough to get there before they even realize it. |

Ran into them and we both had knives out. So I am thinking, awesome knife fight time. we face off, i am just about to make my move *BLAM* quickdraw one shot scrambler to the face and I go down.

Ghost Kaisar wrote: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.
I run Gal with knives and enjoy it
1. Yes it is noticeable and handy for me finding targets, catching those suits who think they can sneak around, and estimating success of maneuvers.
2. There is no usually for me, i run different based on game mode, and map.
3. Yes, do it all the time and only skilled at a 3, sometimes using hacked objectives as a means of luring in prey that i can see with passive sensors
Hope that helps, but my recommendation is always do what fits your play style |

More than anything, I want to be able to run two complex kinetic catalyzers and one complex endurance mod on my scout. I always see the minmatar scout be touted as the go to speed scout, but without being able to double stack kinetic catalyzers and at least one endurance module, I feel it really underperforms as the so called "speed scout".
I briefly tested a high-speed config over the weekend ... 2 complex kincats, 1 enh cardreg ~ 10.01 m/s sprint ... The idea was to play smart with an active scanner ... After 3 disheartening matches, I gave up. Speed tanking is useful for rushing the first letter. Other than that, it is still quite dead. Even when trying to play safe, there's no breaking free once an AR has a bead on you. Not to say it won't work for you, but I found being fast to be of little if any benefit. The problem here, is that you're using the active scanner
Passive scan is a scouts best friend, I find it far more useful than the active.
1. Passive does not give away your location
2. Passive lets you see around without having to switch equipment/disable weapon
3. Leaves space for RE
Active scanner used by my opponent tell me they are around, gives me a heads up that someone is coming towards the objective i am near. They can't see me on the scan so as soon as this happens i get ready for them. as soon as i have a number i make an assessment on my course of action. I place an RE, hide watch the passive till they are on it and boom, then i either run, or fight depends on the situation. |

Even if the scanner lets you know I'm around, I'll know where you are, and you'll have no idea where I'm at. Active scanners have over twice the range of passive.
I am pretty had to scan though, not scan proof but close I'll keep an eye out for you though |

Most of the time we are not necessarily "near" each other but close enough to run and assist one another. It's almost a silent understanding, almost instinctual when you run with people and know how YOUR role is in a squad.
This sounds great, I suppose if i ran with the same people regularly this may develop. With squad being broken at 1.4 i kinda gave up on squads. I'll throw a little effort into smooth running squad next time I'm on. |

I can't tell you how many times I've had AR rounds pass over my shoulder as I stalk an unaware target.
Seems to me "Shared Squad Sight" would mean that this annoying occurrence would become commonplace.
Am I missing something here or are these guys asking that the Scout buff benefit them more than us?
Well I think the idea is that it would be beneficial to the group, putting our role in the context of the group dynamic. Now if the damage i took transferred to the dumbass who gave away my position, I would be all for it, but as it stands I don't know. |

Its a nice departure from my run'n'gun lsr/plc/md/sg fits and its REALLY interesting to see what the enemy is doing behind that wall. Bonus is spotting uplinks and hives from afar and flanking when I get bored of waiting. Also learning a lot about approach pathways and which are hardest to defend or LOS...so I can use them later!
All entry points/chokeholds at the gallente facility are prime as are the new structures with internal stairwell, long window, and two entries.
No comms, listen for footsteps ( I suspect scouts can "hear" further), and learn to minimize own footstep noise.
This is a lot of fun, and how i spend a fair bit of time in battle. I like bringing Flux grenades to disrupt the supply/uplink lines, and cause panic. |

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" |

Bojo The Mighty wrote:DJINN Marauder wrote:Carthum pistol > all You must never have much fun You are an addict Marauder, an addict. I once too had the problem, the unclear vision, to see any other scrambler pistol than the Assault. I thought at one point too, that it was the ONLY ONE. Then I saw, I saw. 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.
This is exactly what I needed to see.
I have finally decided that i should carry a gun
Tried the Breach fired some test shots while alone and was.... crap this thing is slow, not sure about this....
But then i run into a backpeddling assault dancing his AR at me.... then I BLEW him in half with two shots I love the Breach
Still gotta try the Tactical though. |

Finding myself doing a lot more cQc testing out 4 proto range mods only to fail because aim sensitivity is to high I can literally empty 2 clips and not hit once.
Should I go KB/M? This is the first FPS I have played with a gamepad You should practice,, I have never use anything less than max settings for movement sensitivity, regardless of the game, you will get used to it, note, these turn speeds are much slower than both cod and halo, 2 popular fps games, I did 100% in both and my transition to this game made me feel as if itmwere slow, so if you have cod or halo crank them up all the way play and when you come back you will haven more control.
I have my sensitivity at 80/80, works for me. I was always jumping my gun around too, so i stopped using a gun and went First Person Slasher... never been happier. Recently started using pistols as a back up for when people get all jumpy, surprisingly Nova Knifing has improved my close fire shooting. Long range was never a problem. |

I decided to pick up some nova knives today, because I enjoy having a varied weapon pool to draw from for different situations.
I had my first nova knife kill.
It was amazing, I stalked and killed the same poor sod three times as he tried to hack our various blaster installations. I had loads of fun.
So, my new go to fit for the week is a Dragonfly with a CardReg, Profile Dampener, Precision Enhancer, and wielding a Scrambler Pistol and a set of Novas. I am alternating equipment based on situation, I usually switch between a scanner and links for this one so far.
I die with three AR bullets or a single body shot from a militia sniper rifle.
With pistols and knives I have a ridiculously stunted effective range.
I have not had so much fun since I started playing. Pistol headshots and shankings are delightful.
Does anyone else run a combo along these lines?
Very similar fits to what i use a lot. Dragonfly is my go to anti-proto fit, i make a lot of isk when people 'protostomp'
Just added pistols to my arsenal, was exclusive NK before, but AR use put me in a position of needing some range. Sticking in small sockets and areas with cover helps the survivability, |

Hmmm. Related theory: if you want to catch and kill a running enemy, it should actually be possible NOW, with the right workaround:
quit chasing his back... run up BESIDE him, then do an angled attack. Tricky, but if you can train youself, this should be... 90%? effective?
It will be subject to the latency between you and the particular server you are connected to.
This is somewhat similar to "leading" your shooting with a gun against a running target.
The angle you'll need to use, will be dependant on both your relative speed to your enemy, and your server latency. Since your enemy is going to be some small distance ahead of where he LOOKS like he is to you.
The extra tricky bit is that you need to run up beside him, but knife him before getting in front of him enough that you show up on his radar :-/
Then there's the whole thing about if he decides to do the anti-sniper wiggle and change directions randomly :-/
Most cases it'll be safer/easier to just shadow him until he stops somewhere.
I am going to give this a try. Thank you. The other day i was in a couple NK fight with a Logi, and he killed me from the side. When we were facing each other he would "strafe" hit me every time, and it was effective hit detection every time. |

Okay, Had an excellent run in FW tonight, good times. But the most incredible blueberry moment happened. Was stalking two mediums who had hacked an objective. Just as one was approaching my RE, I see a red dot on my passive right behind me. Before i can react i hear the bullet whistle past my head, and red berry disappears. Some Dot was watching my back, shot over my head and dropped the threat, without communication. Result I lived, Reds died, and I retook the objective. Sadly I missed the snipers name in the kill feed as I had some people to explode.

Yes, noticed this last night since it killed me being extra slow, my drop n dash didn't work as well as planned. Two weeks ago I dropped the scanner to not be dependent on it an went back to my bomber fit an everytime I do this I rack up mad kills especially on that map with the supply depot in the basement, get a bunch of twenty plus kill games in a row, then few days later they work like poop! I wonder if ccp does like a personal nerf thing sometimes to people that get a ton of kills weeks in a row using the same weapons, ie: get tons of sg kills two weeks later hit detection sucks but only for you, you switch weapons for two weeks then grab the sg again an it's perfect, this repeats. Anyone else see odd patterns like this?
Yep, did not notice last night.... i tend to pre set my explosives when the opportunity is there. But had a few improve booms tonight and they do take noticeably longer. Might be FW spaminess on the map? |

Well, I qualified for all tiers of the FW event yesterday and managed to do it iso positive Running BPO Dragonfly and Advanced suits. Like to say thanks to Smooth Assassin and the squad he ran for the victories that sealed the win cap
Did the majority of the event solo
I mostly play FW and the event really changed the dynamic of play. Curious to see how/if things change when the event is over. |

Active Scanners question. I don't use them so I have no idea.
When someone scans you and you die, when you respawn are you still lit up?
If the person who scanned dies do the lights go out? |

Nah, the way I see it scouts could use a little boost to CPU/PG mostly for easing fitting, i think slot layouts could be better just for diversifying fittings. If this game only had one standard way to play each frame i doubt i would play it.
Overall a lot of the problems don't really have to do with the scout suits. The way the player base in the overall game is moving. Mass stacking in order to "compete" in the damage/ehp of combat has created a deadly environment for lower ehp (light frames) or lower maneuverability (heavy frames). Some of the issues with how weapons are working, or not working.
I don't know just some of my thoughts. Also if I was as beastly as you I'd feel the same way |

Lightning xVx wrote:So I had a question for everyone in a Scout suit or at the very least "looking forward" to becoming a Scout:
Which suit will you be running and why?
I run both existing suits, I have std Min on this account and a full Minja alt. The alt is recent and was sparked by trying out the Min on this account, but I wanted to skill it separately from the ground up to get a better feel for how the suit builds and behaves. Totally different play styles and experiences with the two. Back in Open Beta i was an arbitor, which actually put me in lightframe for starter fit... this account has never set foot in any other suit This is my EWAR, troubleshooter. Love it for adaptability and situational awareness, and being where i need to be.
Minja i am still getting my footing with, but i find i can be more aggressive with it (even though I am lower in ehp) the speed makes a difference, not the sprint boost (though that is nice) it the base move that i love. Just enough edge to actually maneuver in a fight and not go down in an instant. Oddly my survivability is higher in this suit. |

If you have control o f the objective it may affect the range though, as objectives have their own precision, and range. It may be having an effect on your findings. This is mostly through observation though, I have no idea what the precision and range on objectives, CRUs, supply depots, and AI turrets are, but they do have some form of detection. Supply depots and turrets seem to be the least range, CRU seems to see further, and objectives are massive range(and perfect detection) What I have noticed is if someone goes for the objective across the map, and we control it I can see their chevron on the screen if the letter appears on screen. |

As far as I can tell, objectives and installations can perfectly detect everyone. Not sure about the range, but I seem to avoid detection as long as I keep the smallest circle on the tacnet from touching the objective letter and a little further out for the installation symbol.
I would really like to know if a scout can beat this precision, and if not I it would be nice if CCP could make it possible for us too. It would make infiltration better.
Though it is fun to use enemy letters as a lure |

This is true but I've found the range on objectives to only be around 10-15m and with my stacked range amps you can see people all the way in the basement, which is at least 30-40m below.
The precision on hackable structures is far too low and really doesn't give a hacking scout a chance - I think this needs changing to allow us to do our role better. Maybe make it 46db, so all light suits and well dampened mediums can actually benefit from their sacrifices and make stealth tanking effective.
I agree, 46db would increase the value of stealth, and actually add a better dynamic to the back and forth of matches. I

The crappy part is the other end of the spectrum where if the enemy controls the point, they can see you on their radar which makes being a stealthy scout pretty useless. They need to fix that for scouts.
Yes, this is true. This is why the 46db would be great.
Far objectives are usually good targets though. Been working at a few tactics that use our advantages though with some success.
Once the team has hit an objective most defenders will abandon post to get to the one being hacked.... jackals... this is when we hit the abandoned objectives. sometimes a fatboy stays (they hate running) so watch for them.
Create a diversion- I drop uplinks near one objective and move fast to the next one, this way i can use the team as a distraction and if things go well we have two objectives.
Our stealth still works for circumventing the reds movements, and i find hacking skill helps reduce exposure time... even at level three without putting in a module it makes a difference.
The objectives that give me the most trouble are the ones with a CRU right next to them. Once you off the resistance you can't take both fast enough. Even with a partner split on the two enemies spawn to quick, a third on watch would help.
More ideas and strategies are always welcome |

I've done a few bits of testing in that area. If you approach the turrets from behind and haven't fired a shot near that particular base, they done seem to notice you. So it seems like they have a fire detection system or something. Though if I approach them from the front, they stare at me and I hide >.> I could easily be wrong. You're absolutely correct. But what we're talking about here is different from turret target acquisition. For reasons unknown, we pop up on enemy TacNet when entering the proximity of objectives and installations (like turrets, CRUs, etc). This makes sneaking around a 'bit more difficult at times, but it can also be used a lure.
@ Koan - Yep, when that little laser on the top turns red i hear the Metal Gear noise and can almost see the  on top of it
But as Shotty said it's the Tac Net detection we were referring to.
@Shotty (or anyone) -- Have you noticed any difference in the detection range between Turrets, CRUs, Supply Depots. I watch my Tac a fair bit and it seems to be different, but i would like others input on this
And always worth saying... Scout community is awesome. My sisters, brothers, brothers who are sister and sisters who are brothers, and all in between, you make this much more fun. |

The way I see the incoming Amarr scout is more durable than what we have currently. It may suit the play style of a few of the armour tanking combat scouts out there, so we may see a few. That and Amarr RPers are amongst the most purist of groups so they will run them. Cal scout I am not sure about, though I am interested to see what direction it takes. Personally my style fits the Gal bonuses just well, though I find Min to work really nicely for hit and run, and general shenanigans. (Damn why did I not name a character General Shenanigans) |

OZAROW wrote:So anyone happy with this scan stuff cuz honestly I don't think any of it means dik!
No an sg should have been working since forever anyway an just cuz they say it's fixed don't mean it's fixed.
So scouts get 6m more cool for proto gallente scouts but that means u need a percision mod in your only high, a pd in your low, a range or two an get left with one or two slots to decide on, speed ,stamina, armor, reps.
Minja could rok a shield an percision an damage or w/e but your lows you have two slots to decide on range, pd, speed, armor, stamina, reps, or shield regs, hack mod.
Personally if this is their idea of a buff that's crap.
The gallente basically gets a double bonus for range an stealth an minja gets what knives an a weak as$ punch that nobody probably ever uses.
Ccp is s.a.F!
I like the scan increase, would have preferred 20m as a base, but 16m is still a good increase. For me it's useful, though I know not everybody will find it useful. Yes it will benefit Gal scouts more than Min, though I have a Min account as well and i know i was wishing i could see farther on the radar (particularly when hacking) so i still see it as a benefit to all light frames. 10m was not enough to cut a hack short and react properly to threat levels, 16m is better though extending it still seems a necessity, even if it's only the passive from skilling.
Still out on the hit detection fixes though, only way to know is wait and see.
Personally while i like the damage bonus for Minja, I think a hacking bonus would have been better. (or the ability to hack for damage on occupied enemy vehicles for scouts and Minnies getting a bonus to that... then we could call them Scrappers...stuck on this idea) |

It's "easy" to make that message go away. Skill up into Gallente, and your passive scan range skills :-D I wish i could, but I am Minmatar all the way. I nova knife/smg primarily, and I like being able ohk heavies in the back, among other things. I just look forward to the day when all the scout racial variants come out, and we finally get the love we deserve. CCP should thank us for sticking with the Scout so that this doesn't just become Point and Shoot 514.
This account is Gal, but I run a Min at the same sp level as you (actually a little less) and here is the secret to having no passive scan. Objectives, CRUs, Supply DepotsGǪ they give you a huge scan radius that is infallible. With the added mobility of the Min you can watch a huge area through these points, just by keeping in motion. Min in urban warfare is beastly because of this and the speed. I know we can't tank viably, but in urban settings we can out manoeuvre, out wit, and cause enough destruction to make the cost of taking these areas not worth it to the enemy.

But it helps. Cant believe they make you have a -1% for the ADV reactive. Ugh!!
I know it has kept me away from the ADV reactive, think I might just dump into passive armour boost and fit a Rep just to speed recovery.
I am with you on speed, can't stand going any slower, sprint boost is one thing but I need basic maneuverability to function, any hit to that and I notice it. |

True, still leaves the Mins in the dark though, but a lot of them seem to switching to Gal, and therefore could gain advantage running basic standard, until they get Gal 3. Didn't run numbers myself though. |

I like to set per-week goals for SP use.
With the massive cap this week, seems like I would be able to get either shields 5, or range 4 (or even 5, I suppose).
I usually run a gallente scout level4. Currently,
Shield 3
Range 3
(armor 3, precision 3, damp 3)
At this point would people recommend capping out shields, or range?
I'm thinking shields first.
I would say Range
In the current environment will shields even add an extra bullet to you? (this is an honest question) |

Thus other suits would have to choose between stealth and tank:
-dampening or armor/speed in lows
-tank or reduction to signature in highs
I'm a scout so loltank and I'm already maxed in ewar...so they will need to sacrifice damage mods and shield extenders to see me.
Same here, I would like Dampening to be linked to cloaks, it would make it more worthwhile beyond just avoiding scanners. Also the idea of a shadow war between scouts who can see each other in the middle of another battle is cool |

Yes, it would be cool to have two equipment slots again but just remember that it's not going to be just like we are with an extra equipment slot; we will have to sacrifice something pretty significant for it.

Nyain San are hard to even isolate so good on you for that. I have had to pull all sorts of bait tricks to pull that off.
Honestly i can only kill them with knives and remotes. Gunfire bounces of the tanking and the teamwork is exceptional. That being said, if you drop one, three come to pick up the suit, two cover parameters while one picks up and reps. This is where I started dropping REs on downed protosGǪ try to make it cost them, knowing they probably have more isk than it really matters but meh. Once I ended up on a team with eight of themGǪ. they even help the randoms. Pick up, rep, hell they formed a shield wall around my scout body just to pick my 20k ass up.
As to the issue of how to deal with the high dps impenetrable death squad idk, like i say remotes and knives have worked for me, but if you don't knock em down you are dead. No blinking, no second thought. |

The increased run speed is nice, but without my core skills up to snuff, no scout skills, and any decent non-AR weapon skills I'm pretty squishy. This was definitely not the efficient way to go..... I do have a caldari alt, and an amarr alt for their respective scout suits..... but without passive SP, it's probably just easier for me to spec into their respective suits on this account....
My third slot was commandeered by my wifeGǪ she runs an Amarr heavy i think i convinced her to try the Amarr scout when it comes out But yeah without the passive it's hard to start new. Personally though i enjoy the build from the ground up approach to get a feel for it. I have standard Min scout on this account too, but because I have so much EWAR and core built in it plays very differently than scratch built.

Here. It's silly how a med or heavy doesn't need range amps because the damn obj./cru/supply depot gives us away. What I can run atm is 1 adv precision. 2 comp range amps, 1 adv repper and 1 basic damp.
Yes, infallible precision on installations and objectives is ridiculous. We can work around it and use it to our advantage.
Example 1
Shotty had brought up a map design issue in the research facility, where Letter is at the top of the stairs. Scout assaults on this Objective are madness, unless you trick them. There is two sweet routes in where you will not blip. Up the Vent at the back, and the far bridge by the stairs on the side opposite the CRU, though you need to jump off the bridge and over the opposite rail to not blip.
Also height mess people up, they see you but they have no idea what level you are on by the map play with them a bit and eventually they figure out you are not on the level they thinkGǪ and RE are waiting.
Example 2
It's a trap
RE the approaches to the Letter and start a hacking, when they come for you stop and boom. This really works well, just watch for our bastardly kin, they can slip buy sometimes
Also brush through the field of one precision sink, hightail it to your true objective. The enemy cannot match your speed.
We work with what we have at hand

After you reach the objective's range, you are stuck in an open area with no cover.
I know, I prefer the bridge jump myself. If my team is pushing the bridge side I will take the vent route, because Red is distracted and I can more reliably get in behind and disrupt the Red defence.

Right now, in this build you are not in a position to support them the way you feel that you should, though I bet they will support you. It's not about dependence it's about interdependence.
If you say that you can't adapt, it will only make it harder to see how you are adapting. It is not always an active process, we adapt constantly in our lives, often without realizing it.
You are one tough scout, I know because my alt has rolled with you before (we even had a moment in the warbarge.
I think I can say this considering how much we have in common

So another odd positive to the Black Eagle event that I noticedGǪ
Non scout players who use them are fast.
What this means is the start of the match gives us experienced scouts free objectives. they get there with no back up hack, and either leave, or stay as easy prey.

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. SMG Profiency V, Sharpshooter V III in each is necessary. IV in each is recommended. V in each is worthwhile if SP isn't needed elsewhere. Swarms are getting boned. Wouldn't upgrade 'em at this time. I'd get these to V if not there yet: 1) Range extension 2) Armor Upgrades (plates skill) 3) Shield Upgrades (shield ext skill) 4) Electronics and Engineering (IV at minimum) 5) Nades. IWS mentioned SMGs as deserving of nerf...hesitant to put Amy sp into them or ar for the time being. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=120782

Jak'Saan wrote:Wow so I hate to admit it but thanks to the Black Eagle challenge, I tried AR for the first time since Closed Beta with no sp into AR at all. It was so easy that I was top of the charts by staying at a very far distance an ADS killing reds. It made me really see how OP AR is and how crappy all other weapons really are... even my beloved SG.
I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was that bad. It actually made me furious to see how easy it was. As a scout suit I was taking down mediums and heavies before they even knew where I was because I was so far. They would hide behind obstacles with their back to me and I'd finish them off. Hell... I was mowing down suckers from hip shots.
As a senior software engineer I have to finally say DUST 514 is a horrible piece of software. Their devs should be embarrassed. I wish I never tried the AR because for the first time since closed beta, I have no intention of capping out this week. It will be my first voluntary week missed and I'm not sure if/when I will feel like picking this game up again.
All hail AR 514... CCP you succeeded in convincing me nothing else was worth the investment.
To my scout brethren, I applaud you for continuing the battle. It is clear that CCP does not care, nor do they acknowledge a problem. If you've never tried AR, pick one up just to see what I mean. You don't even have to hide much. I shudder to think people are saying SR is more op than AR. If that's the case, I hope to never try it out. Ignorance truly was bliss in this case.
Had the same experience, Black eagle was an eye opener though my reaction was not the same as yours. Gaining the understanding of how the weapon works gave me some insight into how it works. I actually feel that i am pretty decent taking these folks out now with my NK and pistols
I have used the scrambler and it is very different from the AR. Learning curve on that thing is different, for example: there is one. Also you need to skill up in the SCR for it to be as effective as the AR. Unskilled AR is deadly, basic skilled SCR balances TTK through overheat.

Another 100 more, would reduce it further, I'd wager.
I love it.... scouts are so badass. Everyone else is like "TTK is so short, we die so fast now even with 1000 shield logi's and 1300 shield heavies!!!

He got me with the flaylocks too.

We should be able to see enemies and avoid encounters and engage most of the time on our terms. That should be our defense. At the moment you can still get blips outside of the range but they fade out quickly. Also the inability to sometimes not even see past light cover and then other times pick up enemies through solid walls is very strange.
What if as scouts we had a longer linger effect for visual contact than the other suits? Something similar to an active scanner for duration?

About 2 months ago ADV could drop most anything given double connect at full charge, sometimes requiring a quick swipe to finish the tanked out suits. With the heavy boost, this is not possible, they take some work to drop down as they should (Proto still works em over good though).With the ++ber tanked out Logi's it boils down to the same thing.
My current situation with knives on my Gal is mostly Proto Knives, with only one skill into bonus damage, it works.
High HP targets
- Hit them when they can't see you
- follow with a quick charge and strafe swipe as you move around them, while they turn.
- IF they turned the opposite direct of your strafe you get another higher charged hit and likely win
- keep going till one of you is dead
If I have been seen and have no escape, I sprint at them, jump while charging and aim for the head as i come down, and pivot while coming down. Killed a few with just that method. Those who don't die have trouble orienting to your position, and i often still have them in my sightGǪ
I find it hard to knife fight against Minjas, simply due to their manoeuvrability advantage over the Gal The damage advantage of the Min is mitigated against the Gal by the >300 hp.

I'm sitting usually around 280-290 ehp myself, kudos to you guys who run below 300!
My typical suit has just one enhanced shield extender for protection, that's what, 230 health overall? Anyone else go lower?
yep
My Minja runs one basic shield extender, and does not even have advanced suit yet.
Even my this account runs under 300. I just don't stack modules. I try to fit for adaptability over focus. (this is the reason you won't see me in Proto Gal, I don't like the slot layout)

I like Aeon as well, finding his information and approaches to be fairly level.
The impression I get is that he is speaking in the context of the rifles balance with each other. Clarification would be good in this area though, so good of you to ask this.

Your input is most appreciated.
Q. Are you saying that the AR should outperform in CQC (A) all other Rifles or (B) all other weapons?
A. Assault Rifle should outperform the other rifles. At current the stats are too similar to one another and there isn't enough variety in the DPS values. It's not even a difference in bullets so much as a shaving or sliver of HP. Paper DPS =/= Applied DPS though so, remains to be seen what becomes of it. I hear the Rail Rifle has more recoil but considering how many people still believe that visual recoil has anything to do with a hitscan system I think that belief is a little skewed and considering that CCP reduced the damage and increased the charge-up time, I'd say that's a good sign =P
My impression:
Sounds like he's more concerned with Rifle vs Rifle performance when he calls the AR "King of CQC" ...
Marked as Reasonable.
Your impressions?
Reasonable
Unaddressed issue being, how do we ensure balanced performance with other CQC weapons while dominating against the RR and CR. Not necessarily the idea being addressed here, but it is an underlying issue.

Shotty GoBang wrote:Vetting Aeon Amadi ... AR Apologist or Reasonable ... your input is most appreciated.
Q. What say you to the concerns over AR and ScR hipfire accuracy?
A. Hipfire accuracy is a make or break on a rifle. They're both very very accurate and I no less assume that the new rifles will be either. Too little and it's reserved for ADS (like a sniper rifle in some games) and too much it's suddenly a very very powerful weapon. I've taken a look at both and they have the same reticle as far as hipfire accuracy, which I suppose is a bit odd but assuming their accuracy is what makes them powerful is a bit of a misconception. If this were the case the HMG would be king, but it's not.
My Impression: AR Apologist.
Appears to me that he isn't concerned with the fact that mid-range weapons fire with pin-point accuracy from the hip. What's the point of close-range weapons if mid-range weapons do the job just as well, with far greater versatility?
Your Impressions?
If the HMG had the range of an AR it would be kingGǪ. part of the reason it does not dominate its niche is it is outranged, that and the Amarr Heavy is not designed to carry it, far to slow to press an attack for the kill, with little ability to cover against fast moving targets. Ever watched Medium and Light frames simply back away while hip firing rifles at an HMG?
I would like to hear from some Heavies who have started using AR's for their impressions between the two weapons.

Primary weapoin: TT3 assault sp
Side arm: ZN knives

Tactically I am running the knives similar to how I run my shotgun but a bit more causious. I avoid all direct contact and take off if spotted (usually). Sometimes I can't resist killing an ar user with my pistol. Any general advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Grenade: Basic Nades (want to switch to flux but maxed CPU stops me right now)
I run positive kills with this suit the majority of the time, and always positive isk. Be an opportunist, and pick your battles, boots hit the ground running and don't stop until I am dead. Kill the unsuspecting with your knives, silence helps you stay alive and engage from the back. When you are coming into an engagement where your team is hitting from the front, you have the opportunity to slice a few guys before you are noticed, if you get the chance toss down a couple of REs as well. the engagement zone is chaos, you would be surprised how long you can go unnoticed.
As a side note the ScP has improved my aimGǪ with the Flaylock I earned two Proto Flays in two matches I may have wiped out an entire Corp squad. Headshot with a Scrambler = Awesome Headshot with Flaylock = Epic Oh Cal logi why do you tank armour

And we will each carry repping stuff/needle case we need it. Or we can have one pro logi supporting us.

Why wouldnt you say "lose the extra slots"?
Well, a few reasons really
1. it's easier to convince people something is reasonable if you change things rather than remove them. People generally get upset more if you take away something (militia BPOs)
2. Changing the bonus works two fold, it mitigates the reduction to PG CPU, while directing logi's towards a number of open roles
3. This change would mean having to make choices about what to put in the slots, not just armour and armour
4. reduced slots on the Logi would make it harder to point at and say we need more slots on scouts.
Really I have not given this a lot of thought, just intuitive impressions
Someone would have to look at balancing numbers and what not for it to be viable.

The truth is none of the role bonuses even provide that big of a benefit. So it's all about the fitting abilities of the suits, which is the root cause of the issues. That and the ability to stack so many tanking mods.
Scouts are really UP because the lack of pg/CPU and slots.
It's actually pretty rare people use a suit for its role bonus....and that's saying something.
Very good points
As to role bonuses for suits I really wish CCP had applied the bonus to the suits rather than the skillsGǪ then we could have suit variants with different bonusesGǪ

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.
Good luck on the Finals

Weaving between crates I get into the Obj, charge and cut down the Logi hacking the point, quick charge to hit the next suit. Gal scout he fires his weapon as I slash. Kathunk he panic shot his MD into me I got an assist though lol

Giving away the position and having an RE trap set could be fun to, if you can get by without the scanner.

Gushiness will happen in the field too, just in a more visceral sense
Good luck on the kicking the nic, not easy to do, do good on you for working on it. Play Dust sounds like a trigger, so take the time you need. I do some work with addictions and some of the people I have worked with say it is harder to kick than the Hard stuff.

Good point. but they cost ISK and LP
219 items in the LP shop are not likely to fill every bodies suit requirements though, especially running one or two factions.

I guess my stockpiled 80 mil isk will come in handy if I start FW.
With lower fitting cost gear in the LP store I think it would benefit most scouts to get their hands on some of this stuff.

No sidearms whatsoever in the new content
Khanid may be thereGǪ is actually very likely there
And we get all giddy about trading because this is an indicator that it is on the horizon (admittedly it could be a very distant one)
The funny thing is when we have trading I am likely to just dump my good stuff on people I like for nothing, and give away excess stuff to newberries.

A lot of those are AUR items, but they imply other changes were made to fit them into the LP market, wether that is just converted to LP and ISK pricing, or tweaked in other ways time will tell.

I can see this working against scouts in particular. We'd get to dance a bit before we die is all. But still, a cool concept that might save a quick draw scout. I don't see this working to our favor, guys. This'll be a buff to high RoF weapons. IF someone gets the drop on you it's usually death anyways. Sometimes I can get away in those cases. But it's so easy to get our shields depleted, and with armor lv 5 I only have 87 DP. Fighting multiple enemies will be far worse. However, most often I get the drop on people only to have them key in on me and take me out while I am still whittling down their armor. So my hope is having the jump on someone will provide an edge finish them off as they fight taking damage.
Seems so to me.
Yes it buffs high RoF weapons, but not against low HP suits like usGǪ. Stacked HP Logi is not going to dig thisGǪ Heavies they gonna suffer.

I agree with the above. I would be down for a boycott, but at this point our numbers have dwindled to the point that CCP might not even take notice. We need to think of an effective strategy. It needs to be large in scale and it needs to be done together - all at once.

There are some problems with a lot of areas, and there is no where to snipe. 3 point version, so this outpost on Skim Junction is the best. No sniping but excellent use of a shotgun and stealth suits. If we could get that change to remove 0dB installation scanning this would be a shotgun scout's paradise. I also have fun with my Imperial ScR. Only complaint about Ambush here is my complaint with ambush everywhere: spawning mechanics are horrible.
If the Reds have the interior SD pocket, two Flux in the hole drops the lag considerably. If your team spammed in there wellGǪ
I netted approximately 300 wp with two Flux in that spot from EQ destruction This is the worst spot for lag EQ spamming.
If your team has a hold on the facility sniping from a couple of spots inside actually works pretty well, if you have a team that will cover your six.

Unless you have adv, minimum, I dont find them worth it personally. you talk like this is a brand new alt. So I cant see you having unlocked those yet. stealth is so much more important to scouts these days! Just step away from the pills, Llast... nice and easy....
It's a few months old, got Adv reds and greens
And indeed stealth is important, I run dark on this account, if it weren't for the 15db and installations I would never be a blip
But the direction I took with the Minja is very different, and surprisingly working well. (having made half as many kills as my main already) Pirate Ninja for killing
Scanners are an issue, but I am working on that without sacrificing the current style.

A) Mass B) Acceleration (meters / second, squared) For all of you who didn't take Physics 101, which of these would hurt your face more? 1) Falcon Punch by 150lb Jackie Chan (tiny fist of dragon move so fast like the Lightning). 2) Falcon Punch by 350lb fat guy down the street (lumbering fist of ham smelling of Lays).

The tank you popped was been beat down to nothing, right?
I must see this for myself ... will test :-)
On Explosives:
1) Versus infantry, is the blast radius of wall-stickied RE's comparable to that of a ground-based RE?
^ We've had reports that "reach" of RE blast degrades when affixed to wall.
2) Versus tanks, are Proximity Mines profoundly ineffective vs armor still ... has anyone tested?
^ They're likely moving too fast to stop on prox-alert. How many are needed to pop tank on cooldown?
3) Has anyone run the numbers on Effective HP of a Tank while it's hardeners are up?
^ Wondering if my 6-RE Jihadi-Jeep will suffice if the "brave" tanker happens to have his hardeners up.
Nope full tank
He was on the redline, so RE could not deploy he moved forwards rather than back so i guess he did not know i was behind him. He fled to just behind a hill to get cover from his left (not guessing I was behind him. Thinking new to the way HAV design though, experts would not likely fall for this. never kicked in Reps, or hardeners. One flux dropped the shield too, so not shield tanked.

Okay a few observations after my first night with the update.
Played most of it on my altGǪ
Learning curve seems a bit harsh with so many changes not surprised by this.
Combat Rifle, is a nice weapon for me.
Controlled fire is great, damage output is niceGǪ and rangeGǪ not used to having range so this is good.
Also my favourite thing about it (besides the awesome look of it on a Min scout) is the sound.. it is quiet.
Sticky REGǪ AWESOME AWSOME AWESOME
Stealth at installationsGǪ nice for us, but expect more scanner spam because of this.
Now on my main (this account)GǪ only had a few matches before sleep time.
Wow i sucked my first match with the RRGǪ
Range is excellent, spool up is a non issue if you are using it from a distance and hidden.
It's loud thoughGǪ not sure I like this.
Part of my problem with the RR is that it may not be what I was hoping it would be.
I intended to use this for fittings to balance out the open area maps.
It may work for this but i need to get more practice with this, also I was not engaging in my usual way (the urge to surge forward was to strong)
Also in Gal FW watch for Appia, she has an S&M thing going onGǪ Pain and Punishment
Highlights for me so far
Flux and Flay HAV kill
Throwing a RE onto a LAV, leaping over it and KABOOM (killed the driver)
No FF kicks despite using RE (Appia did it on purposeGǪ not my fault, and no kick)

In CQC, dispersion is good because while you won't be hitting all of your shots, you have a larger area to keep on the enemy. Heavies have learned the hard way how invaluable dispersion in CQC is. However, at greater distances, you need as little dispersion as possible since the target will be easier to track but be a much smaller target.
This is essentially what is wrong with the HMGGǪ CQC no dispersion, and damage drop off at range prohibits the benefits.

They grab in odd ways to the Null Canon structure so they are not reliable. I started to use them less for Nulls because it was to obvious in many matches.

Edit:
How do you folks feel about the loss of 5% profile/level Role bonus for improved fitting cost on Cloaks? In my opinion, "Stealth" wouldn't be buffed by exchanging one vulnerability for the other. Surely, this isn't what Remnant has in mind.
Quote:The Scout role will get very high PG/CPU bonuses to fitting cloak equipment, making it just about the only role that can feasibly fit a cloak field without having to sacrifice the rest of its fit. Individual race skill bonuses will create opportunities for cloaked scouts to scan further and longer than other dropsuits, to have less GÇ£shimmerGÇ¥ as they move, and have lower innate scan profiles so that they can be visually and electronically invisible. Link even though we know where it came from.
The first line is the part that brought on this thought for me.
"The Scout role will get very high PG/CPU bonuses to fitting cloak equipment, making it just about the only role that can feasibly fit a cloak field without having to sacrifice the rest of its fit."
It's the scout role portion, that makes me think that the role bonus would change, in order to make the cloak viable. Perhaps the current bonus was simply place holding for this feature?
The mention of Race bonuses is interesting as well, because he mentions the lower innate scan profile, though this simply refers to the base db I believe. Does this mean we have a lower one and that is good? Or does this mean a future reduction to offset the loss of the bonus? "they can be visually and electronically invisible" indicates that the cloak will independent from Profile.
Also this tells us what the other two racial bonuses are likely to be
-Increased scan time for active scanners?
-Have less shimmer
Of course this is all theory and one can't hold the language used as full Dev disclosure.

-Increased scan time for active scanners = Ganja (btw Cass- until you explain why that is a bad nickname I'm going to use it -signed a minmatar) -Have less shimmer = Minja I would think? Of course this is all theory and one can't hold the language used as full Dev disclosure = build 2.4
While those bonuses would make senseGǪ I think that this may be indicators for the new suits (whenever that happensGǪ 2.4)
What would make sense is
Gal= scan time (as much as I hate the idea, it is Gal tech)
Cal= Range enhancement (they do like to remain at a distance)
Min= Combat Knife bonus (cause it should exist by then, and we don't want to take Mustards knives from him )
Amarrogance= less shimmer (cause they will be slow as all hell, they will need it)
Not my personal idea of what would be ideal, but something that makes sense. Which means it's not what will happen.

I wouldnt feel too bad, if we get the 5% damp BACK, with the cloak. That being said, I would feel incredibly ANGRY, if this is a ploy to allow logis to do the same thing. Which there seems to be a very high likelyhood that it is.
Since it is supposed to mitigated by fitting cost, unless the logo problem is addressed in a specific way, this will be a problem.

I certainly don't want to use a high slot for a cloak if it also means that I now have to use a low slot for a dampener and the other low slot for a range extender just to get back to the profile and range I have now by default.
I'd rather the tools I have now be buffed slightly so that I continue to have a challenging and intelligent hunt. I'm not as interested in an "invisible mode" button which allows me no other fitting flexibility if I want to stay off the TAC-NET and keep my scan range viable.
I like the Gal set up the way it is.
I like the Min as well, but it needs more to be on par with the Gal, maybe cloaks will make that gap less noticeable.
The new implied bonuses may just go to the Cal and Amarr suits, I hope that they do, and soon.
Wonder which would go where though.
Scan time to the Cal?
Shimmer to the Amarr?
Would love to see what they have in the works.

Since tanks are a thingGǪ
I started a for fun project with my Min accountGǪ
I am restoring a Sica i found after a battleGǪ fitting with salvage only I call it the Scrapyard Scraper.
Not buying anything for it skill wise or parts wise, just going to see what I can build from salvage.
So far I have armour and a scanner on it and it has loads of space leftGǪ
Might take it out for a spin just to see what is going on with these things. Mostly I want to see what camera view people are using because they seem see me if i get to close to the back to place REs on the soft spot.

Nice, epic end to a match
My most recent tank kill, I managed to get two REs on before it ran to the redline. (which was right close)
Then i see him, stopped. I peek over the ridge and he is recallingGǪ. with his face against one of my RE's

On Knives - how do the users deal with fov and losing their prey and getting disoriented?
Also how many swipes before knives dont do any damage? Part of the trick is not to get disoriented in the first place. lag can hit you pretty hard or the dropping of FPS. Especially if you are slashing and strafing and they are shooting at you and doing the same. The knives actually have a reticle to them that will go from HUD blue to red if you can strike someone in range, so if you are lost you can refer to that. You might find that you got every indication of hitting someone but they take no damage as well. You just kind of have to roll with it. I find that around the fourth slash the Sfx will play but the knife swing animation won't play and you won't hit anything. A charged swipe seems to count as two if you immediately start slashing. Try to refrain form repeatdly slashing, and you can melee to clear up the slash count. i.e. 3 slashes melee more slashes
This is exactly what everybody using knives needs to know. Most who've used them for awhile probably already do, but i know it seems to come up every once in awhile.

Almost impossible I would think, unless you manage to corner it in some sort of alley or confined space. ie: one stupid enough to come into a city without a fast exit lane. If they're that dumb though, would be easier to first scare them with the PLC... and get them to run into a pre-laid RE trap.
Most tanks i take out are in cities and confined spaces already, it's the out in the open ones that get away. That and the redline rails that I can't RE

Because man I ran out of ammo in my pistol and laser rifle today and was genuinely screwed. There was nothing else I could do. I found an uplink and meleed it for the 5 wp but other than that I felt completely naked. Scout melee = San Francisco Slap
I have melee'd my way to death before once. My most common resupply when there is no supplies to be had is the RE Nanohive. Find enemies place RE detonate, chose new spawn location and voila full ammo.

This DESTROYS all tanks. It's my go to av fitting
Looking to fix tank spam? Call in your own tank! Tell your friends to do the same! ... not to say I won't be following your advice, but this situation is pretty messed up. Question, Is that so bad. That tanks are killing tanks while infantry aren't as effective? I think as long as each side can field the counter to tanks....ala mlt sica with railgun. You should hit an equilibrium. I suggest next time you see tanks rolling around, bring out a mlta sica as described and use it as AV instead of the **** infantry AV that costs you 2x more. The truth is, right now the SP gap with vehicles is pretty small. A Mlta tank is just as effective as a gunnlogi, its a matter of how its driven that really shows who wins the battle. So you don't have to put any SP into running AV now. I feel dust might need this injection of more vehicle warfare. Otherwise its just an infantry game. Granted there are some maps where infantry can't get away from tanks, but I think CCP is going in the direction of infantry zones and vehicle zones. Don't get me wrong, running JJs are a ton of fun, but two sicas rail fit would be about 100x more effective. PS - Other registerys probably won't be very successful, half the reason was shotty was willing to put in the stat tracking efforts to show our changes between builds. But scouts also had a major reasons to complain. Other suits just don't have the negatives that scouts do. Heavy's are next up, but its more for their lack of variety than role.
While I believe Tanks should be an effective counter to Tanks, they should not be the ONLY counter.
I like having more vehicles roaming around, if it makes for a more dynamic battlefield. Right now what I am seeing is a lack of dynamic play, because the only effective counter seems to be another HAV. This is why I am experimenting with ways to take down Tanks without resorting to tanking. If it can't be done effectively then the imbalance becomes apparent. Though right now it's a fresh patch and people will be prone to using the new fun toys, the real test is how it plays out after the next patch. If people remain HAVcentric (as happened with the Killer Bees over several patches) then something really needs to be done.
I do not think that any one aspect of the game should be "only X should be able to killGǪX, please ignore that X can also kill ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYand Z as well"

A flux will detonate the RE.

Have had luck taking down heavily armoured tanks this way. Sounds like fun :) The one annoying thing, is actually having to HIT the tank, with the flux, though. The ones I usually attempt to take down, move around a LOT. Just placing 3 REs on target is pretty durn challenging. Actually hitting it with flux, without the auto-homing of the AV grenades, sounds challenging, to say the least. Side comment: Do you get a penalty if you blow up your own REs with weapon fire if, for example, you attempted to place on a tank, but miss?
I don't find hitting with the flux to be to challenging, as long as they are bolting directly away from meGǪ at that point I just wait them out and stalk them down. The REs are not going anywhere (unless they recall), and many HAV pilots don't actually run that far unless they are already damaged.
Cooking and tossing takes a bit of practice, Flux radius is actually pretty large so it's easier than regular Nades.
You can practice by taking out equipment with timed tosses rather than drop and forget.
And as Shotty mentioned, the rules have changed, no penalty for EQ destruction.

It only pays off when squadding with better slayers, but it's been greatly appreciated by those I've supported.

When WP whoring I'll run an uplink/sg fit and usually end up top 3, but after capping I'll run this alternate role and end up middle of the board. However, in this alt role I have more of an impact on win/lose and finish 10/0 instead of my normal 20/6 with my typical, more aggressive fits.
Sounds like a pretty valid role contribution wise, as long as you have fun doing it then awesome. I don't run slaying style on this account so my kills are pretty low, I don't mind at all as long as I feel I contributed to the team in a meaningful way. Seems like a valuable and viable tactic.
Never skilled into scanners so i can't say I'll try it out, (though I have a disturbing amount of proto scanners in my inventory from FW, I think i get one a match )

Whew. I need to practice more, clearly!
Shotty - I think as scouts we each need to take it upon ourselves to self-regulate; we need to decide if we want to cut ourselves some slack and be cool to each other, or not. Not only here, but in the various 'scout' threads that show up in other places. I have to admit I get tired of posting in the other threads because it's just too much to weed through, but I need to up my game on that.....
You know, we can cut each other to pieces on the field but if we start fighting here than it's pretty much all done. They say there is no honor among thieves, but there should be among brothers. We got so little going for us and we are so used to fighting against stacked odds we should be able to deal w/ some forum stuff without too much trouble.
We can't be trolling our own guys....
As for the whole shotgun thing.... I have about 10 kills using the shotgun so I've been skimming that stuff, but I wish there was less angst flying around there.
Happy Holidays all!!

I stalked you for a bit and went to flank you but you took a 90-¦ on me, and went up to the ridge of a crater. I followed and dropped your shields, you dropped behind a ridge and by the time i caught up you had slipped away. I backtracked incase you were counter-falnking me. But you were gone.

I wasn't sure if it was a scout behind me; I thought it might have been due to the dogged pursuit but man, trying to outrun that rifle had my heart pumping!! Good game!
Yeah,
I was solo too, i just took up residence at C and defended it to the best of my scoutly ability. Most of the time i was alone, managed to take a couple of HAVs, but I had no resupply so it got tight on ammo. Actually had one point where all I had left was KN, and two red HAVs rolled in

Cass Caul wrote:Manus Peak was and always will be my favorite map. I don't know why people say there is no cover on that map. The terrain provides lots of cover with the hills and peaks. I loved that map in closed beta. I loved the peak, had some epic battles up there. In fact it was me sniping in a corp battle in open beta on that map that let me meet one of my favorite people in the whole world. Epic battle where we both lost 2 Thale's And I finished the battle by switching to my shotgun and getting her in the back of the head lol it was the first and only time I'm the one that got her from behind . It was also the first map here I ever got more than 30 kills in an Ambush (back when it was 80 clones) and the first map I got over 30 kills running dual toxin SMG in a dragonfly scout on skirmish. Back when the peak was still there, it taught me the joys f the infiltrator gameplay style, hugging the peak to sneak around to capture [B] (though it was a different letter at the time) Manus Peak was the map that taught me that REs are the best sidearm and an appreciation of the Type-II/B-Series/VK.1 Manus Peak w/ Shotgun ftw EDIT: The fact that it only has 3 points is one of my favorite parts though. The map is large enough that one can sneak around, or use a dropship to drop someone off discreetly, and set up uplinks or hack a point and change the tide of battle. Some of the most enjoyable matches have been because 6-8 people actually worked closely together to capture a point. Seeing one side redline a team, only 5 minutes later to get redlined themselves was fun and intense. It just doesn't seem to have the same intensity on the 4 and 5 point maps.
First, I love your story.
I enjoy the manus map as well, plenty of hiding places, and i rarely have problems with that map regardless of which side I deploy on.

Yes this works, been at this since they fixed the EQ FF issueGǪ actually before RE were sticky my tactic was to pile them behind the HAV and through a Flux to drop shields. Most HAVs would retreat backwards and I would detonate the REs. Now it that does not work because they activate hardeners instead.
The RE/Flux works well though. I will try to put something coherent together for the guide.

It makes a difference where you land the Flux.
If you hit behind (where the RE are) the the RE will detonate before the shields are hit. if you cook and hit the middle of the tank then the RE takes the flux blast after the shieldsGǪ then you get full effect.

Monk touched on an important aspect and that is approaching your prey with care. How you approach. Who you start killing first.
Another aspect is my battlefield role. I'm more about infiltration, being an opportunistic killer, and generally being a nuisance. Also, I've been using knives on frontal assaults for so long this is easy street. I plain just don't like using guns as much. It's just a waste of isk and adds unnecessary cost to my fits. Plus, guns are just a crutch ;)
Are you short on CPU or PG? I know minmatar are short on fitting, but you can't just throw whatever you like onto your suit? because I can literally put any combination of modules on the Gallente Scout- given I use FW Specialist weapons for the light weapon slot.
I run both suits Casspia, and it is much harder to fit on the Min, I have much more invested in being able to fit my suit on my Min than I do on my Gal, simply out of necessity. Easily fitting Proto on the Gal, but struggle to fit Adv with my Min. The Specialist weapons are incredibly awesome for fitting scouts out, perhaps the single greatest aspect to LP store in my opinion. If only we actually had Specialist weapons for everything Specialist NK would be huge for the MinjaGǪ

Put my two bits on what might contribute to the lag there.
Had a simiar experience against Cubs and crew, but they had not bombed the specific areas, it was spread across the whole facility as battles happened, so rep hives were everywhere.

The implication that we may see all suits soon is pretty cool. (not having my hopes up on this as I know very well how CCP works)
And even if all we see is cloaks (which i doubt is all that is coming) I don't actually have a problem with everybody having access to them. As far as giving up the equipment slot, that is not a concern for me. It's just another tool, I do not require it now to function as a scout. The cloak will just add another dimension that I can use to accomplish the goals I have on the battlefield.

Yeah that's all luck
1. Yep agree with that 100%
2. Stamina buff would be great, sprint speed too but I would prefer base move increase over sprint.
3. I think you are right racial variant is more likely than adding it to all scouts (think it will be the Amarr one myself)
4. I think a simple boost to the passive bonus in the skill tree would make a huge difference for scouts. If that bonus was higher than 2% we would be set.

Trust me, getting them under is far more lucrative, if a little more difficult, than putting them on it's ass. Maybe this is my problem, placing them on back. All I do is annoy them, just before they swat me like a mosquito. A squishy scouty mosquito...
Paying attention to what the have has for shield and Armour helps too.
Two on the back and one on the side will pop a lot of armour tanks, but flux the shield for good measure.
Maxed out Shield Tanks I find harder to deal with, as one flux won't take the shields right down and the explosive damage does not always breach what is left. You only get one chance to flux them tooGǪ Had a bit more luck using the PLC on shield tanks with this procedure in Pubs (no FF)
1. Get three RE on the tank (best on the back for when they run)
2. Switch to PLC
3. Cook and throw Flux
4. Fire PLC
5. Switch to RE and detonate
This can take down heavy shieldsGǪ but not reliably as they can still get away, or notice you at anytime.

To be fair ccp has made the scanning system so damn convoluted no one really can test it correctly. Things change so frequently and often in a ninja nerf way we cant really track what is fact anymore.
Knives work one day and are **** the next....some days I'm getting instagibbed by ScR and owning with the shotgun next. But it's never consistent and I think that's what makes it so damn difficult to prove ANYTHING.......
But data/video always helps. Wait. They are for sure fixing commandos, and not scouts at all in 1.8? I missed that!? JAysus fuking mary keerist. #shittycoding strikes again. You know what, devs? I don't even care. Just fix knives and sprinting. it's embarrassing.

Or are they adding skills to the tree related to suits

Second game was much better, third was smooth.

What's your experiences with the SG and variantsGǪ Can a normal SG take a heavy/killer bee down quick enough? The breach is not good. There are just too many suits out there that can survive both shots from it. My 'Templar' Sentinel A-1 can survive both shots from the Allotek Breach and it is only worse with the ADV Heavy/Sentinel. I really love my Dragonfly Scout. I use STD everything on it except for the equipment which is a compact nanohive. Shield extender, shotgun, scrambler pistol, compact nanohive, dampener, armor repair. I can be pretty obstinate in my choice for suits on a map. "I'm going to run X suit next game." And I stick with that suit the whole match regardless of how well I do. So when I bring out my basic suit I'm prepared to go up against the most tanked out suits. It's all about hitting them once and immediately start circling around them. And it is very rewarding to kill a suit that costs 50 times as much ISK as yours. My proto fit, though, runs a complex damage mod for the CreoDron/Duvolle for that little extra oomph against the other proto suits.
Exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you
and your Dragonfly is similar to the Dragonfly I was running this on last night. though I had breach scrambler pistol and shotty, RE, Pr enhancer.
I have no sp in damage mods though, are they necessity? I find i have always gotten by without them even when others say they are needed.
@ Arkena, I know what you are saying, I run the CR/NK on my Minja in the open maps, maps with more cover are KN/FL
This account (Gal) is a different play style though when i hit the big open stuff i usually take residence at a good socket and own it, with pistols and knives, or go back to my sniper roots. I love it when people think the have the drop on me as a sniper because I can see them on my passive and my pistol skills are fierce now (yeah I am not in the redline)
What I am looking at though is SG info. Appia summed up what I was looking for exactly, Breach won't cut it the way I hoped it would.
mollerz wrote:Ok thanks! I didn't even think to put a precision enhancer on. I am sure I will be amused by how much more vis I get.
I see no one said much about running a damage mod? I kind of figured it would serve.
@quill- I always have flux because we take down objectives with them. We end up setting off way too many REs to give them up. On the knifer side, we use them as flash bangs of a sort. We carpet bomb as we run into groups, or into rooms. If you time it right, you are sprinting in on the EMP bubble as it is collapsing
I'll definitely check out the advanced scanner!
On my Gal i run the precision enhancer, and bring flux for the same reason you do, and as AV.
Scanner, I don't even have skilled because my passive is great for what i do. I can see some value in a group for lighting up targets, but i don't like the tip off. (that and i needs my KABOOMS)

By the Power of GreyskullGǪ
I asked about shotguns because I have not really used one for a long long long time.
The hope was to get feedback (like what Appia gave) for a reason.
This is generally what I doGǪ kay
I often talk in questions despite already having information because in my experience people are more forthcoming with information and their experiences in a pleasant friendly manner.
No matter what people say I will more than likely try it out myself, not because i think they are right or wrong, but because the variables of play style and approaches makes a difference in individuals outcomes with weapons, equipment, fittings. etcGǪ
All I was looking for was input I could apply to my style, which is differs from others sometimes drastically, sometimes subtly. What info my wonderful siblings share will be adapted to my style or discarded as not viable for the way I play. By discarded i don't mean that it is no good it just means that it does not mesh with my style, but certainly works for others.
What I did not want to do was reopen the scab of "scientific debate"
TL;DR *sobs* WHAY ARE YOU ALWAYS FIGHTING *slams bedroom door*

Do you anticipate that logis will be worse slayers because of the change? Not really. At least, not the way I use it. They aren't changing the slot layout, or making Logis carry Sidearms only, so Logis will continue to dominate, but I have a feeling it will be more like the Scrambler Rifle when it came out. It takes more skill to use, so people avoided using it. I think it will take more skill to fit Logis, and therefore more people will go Assault. But the Gallente Logi bonus is nice....
What they have done is half of what I was thinking they would do, if they implement the other half of that plan (CPU/PG reduction) would that affect the Slayer logi?
The way I see it, this would make things harder to fit Mods but easier to fit EQ. I suppose we won't know until changes to CPU/PG if any.

Okay,
Basic shotgunGǪ.
Last night, (after a skirmish with mollerz )
I fitted the basic SGGǪ
Got dropped late into a skirmish on the lightning tower map.
Dropped two uplinks in strategic places and went to take B
die
Respawn with SG
Go to take B
Kill two meds take B
They have uplinks on the towers that I can't eliminate so i know I am in for a protracted back and forth.
Two come back to take it
Nope they die
AgainGǪ
+50 +50
again with a buddy
+50 +50 +50
Again now I have 5 of them coming
+50 +50 + 50 +50 GǪ last guy stays up the stairs spinning and scanning, moving back and forth trying to figure which way to come down the the floor of death
then it happens
i see Dots all over my TacNetGǪ I set all the RE i have and waitGǪ.
Yep i count 11 coming in
Drop one medium one heavy, two more heavies blaze me down
respawn
detonate
Finished with 18 kills
and held B to the end of the match, all by myself

Much lower Db, much higher melee base damage, and I'd liek to keep the skills as they are. I can feel the logis on a respec tho, I might want on when the caldari scout comes to be- I am sure I'd rather go that route than ginja.
Well since the Heavies seem to be going in the direction of their description this may happen. I would not mind if the Minja Bonus was useful in both aspectsGǪ NK and Melee. Really a lower db is in order for the Min suits anyway most descriptions have them as stripped downGǪ which makes me think less electronics should = lower signature (db)

Heavies as far as the eye can see. Stay away from the beaches, guys. The main problem will be that scanner bonus. Heavies I can deal with a flux and flaylock to the face. A full team knowing my location for the entire match, maybe not so much.

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.
...
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.
That's only bidirectional balance, what needs to be considered is multidimensional balance. Part of the reason the damage vs eHP balance strategy does not work is the failure to account for the other aspects that effect the situation. Maneuverability, tactical awareness, range,dps, effective dps, and probably many other things that are not springing to mind right now, come into play in balancing multi-dimensionally.
Most analysis I have seen overlook these things in favour of linear balance strategies that work from just two aspects.

Using a rifle in conjunction with knives is a very nice set up.
I just have to say- no graphs, science, or buts about it. The shotgun is so inferior to knives, why bother? If you can get in that range you may as well.

Really, though More info on what is happening would be nice. Will we get a slot and CPU/PG increase, is base scan range increasing, is our base db decreasing, what else is happening to the frame as a whole? These things will affect us a lot more than the cloak in my opinion. If all we get is the "known" changes then Min scouts get absolutely screwed, Gal takes an arguably minor hit, and the new suits probably better off as they are designed around the cloak which (if nothing else changes) will be required equipment.
RespecGǪ this account stays as is (likely my profile damp would be moved into cloak), MinjaGǪ. probably everything would have to go into making things workGǪ and I'll have enough sp for basic knives

If scouts were getting a special slot for it, seems like he would have mentioned it then. I requested clarification from a dev on that thread. Unfortunately, while it got innundated by speculation by players, there has been no dev followup so far. I certainly admit that the above could be wrong. hence my particular wording. That being said... seems like my description above, is the likely current path. So. to repeat my poll question: IF it IS true.. .how many will switch to gallente logi? http://poll.pollcode.com/1537722
Thanks
Thought I may have missed something.
I can see those as reasonable assumptions, though i don't necessarily share them.
I still suspect the cpu/pg will likely take a hit on the logi, and hope ours goes up.

Lots of good ideas in the post about making scouts viable with a cloak, and I like the suit descriptions posted here and the idea posted on the potential alternate scout bonus of an increase in efficacy to electronics/biotics and a reduction in fitting costs.... I'd happily trade a cloak fitting reduction for that.... it's way more useful in my eyes.
I had a great moment in one game, something that has never happened before:
I was behind enemy lines soloing and I got scanned, so naturally I start falling back to safe ground but I keep getting scanned, like every 30 seconds! What's going on, here, I think - I'm running for my side of the map, and someone with a proto scanner is staying close to me... another scout, pacing my dampened, cardiac-regulated dragonfly???
I turn around and see a proto gal logi pacing me 20m back... damn dude must be running kin/cats, cardiac regulators and dampeners, and a prototype scanner.... and he's going for the kill on little old me! AND he's packing a shotgun!! This dude really wanted to prove logi's can steal anyone's thunder! So, I did the only logical thing I could, being without remotes to deal with this super logi-scout, running around in what must have been a 170k+ suit
I turned around, prayed for the best, and put two damn lucky head shots in him with my militia pistol. The last one he was only 10m away..... I was stressed!
But to him I was the man.... the boss. The dude that put him down like a rabid dog in his proto bear I'm a bad-ass suit. (no offense to dogs)
He did spawn back in the same proto logi and take me out w/ a rail rifle about 5 minutes later.
Guess you can have the suit and the EQ, but you still need the skill and the smarts to be a scout.... (or 'da luck!)
On your first point GǪ
I got your back if you got mine
On the Logi, yeah i've run into those on occasion as well.
Awesome job killing that one
I assume you were packing your pistol, which is handy against the SGGǪ. not so much against the RR

Here's my thought on what this may be aboutGǪ
A specific event to gather specifics on how scouts play as assign role with KN to compare with data after the cloak drops.
Incentive to hunt down scouts is a measure to ensure people are actively looking for them, in order to somewhat simulate the heightened paranoia that people will have when the cloaked scouts hit.
That or they just wanted to give us one last good kick while we are down.
StrikeGǪ what impact do we hope to achieve and will this action achieve it?
Why still tank spamGǪ. why still Logi powerhouses, long range weapons that outperform CQC specialists, why 5 orbitals by one guy in a pub matchGǪ who knows
Okay still tank spam because AV has little to no viability or even incentive. Why bust your ass to try to kill something that will just get recalled while you reload? especially when the best solution is to add more tank to the spam?

Sighhhh.. I'm guessing this is tied to the game engine. I have a hunch passive can scan through add-on (aka static mesh) terrain, but it cant scan through true background (aka BSP, aka "world floor") terrain.
This is how it seems to be behaving

Which is not something a Minmatar can do (comfortably). So when you have a tight scan radius you need it to work reliably. Quite often the tacnet just simply does not work. You can know a guy is on the otherside of a wall and he won't show up. You can know a heavy is right beside you and he won't show up.
It doesn't happen ALL the time but it happens quite often.
Some matches my scan works awesomely and I'm amazed at how far I can see. This doesn't always happen.
I am precision lvl 5 and radius lvl 5, I run an adv precision mod and a cpx range mod and I've noticed a few things. To be honest I think it is a latency/scan cycle issue. Why I think so is that, when I simply run without waiting, I run into baddies that were not scanned by passive. If I wait a fraction of a second, they get scanned. Which is why if you have cpx range, you will almost always scan them since it will take a sec for them to get to you. If you think about it, the active scanners have the same bug. Where red dots don't pop up as soon as you scan them sometimes. Instead, It's like it waits a second (even after your scanner is done scanning) and then pops up. To me, sounds like latency.
I have experienced this as well, but i suspect it is not only latency. I can be standing perfectly still in a socket and "see" dots all around me. Standing perfectly still in a ravine on Manus, and the sniper at the top of the ravine is not a dot unless I visual them first. (then they fade out afterwards)

Running knife on a Gal for awhile, I used to run Knife only fits for a couple months. They work fine, Proto is great, Advanced still effective, even without damage mods. Know your foe, keep an eye on your surroundings.
Full charges will obviously be the best at dropping people, it will take more quick taps than you would with a Minja for sure (Minja still owns the NK) You are not as maneuverable as a Minja, nor have the damage bonus. You can partial charges for effective slashes, personally I find not quick tapping,but a slight hold and release will get the job done on beefier suits.

Not a bad looking fit, I am guessing you do not have Min Scout skilled yet.
Shotgun is fun, just got back into that myself, touchy subject around these parts lately though
SMG is a good combo with the SG in my opinion. Pistol is nice as well but whatever you have more comfort and SP in will work.
ScannersGǪ. some people run them some don't. I am in the not run category, for the reason that I don't want anyone to have any more indication that I am around, also takes my RE slot. (I really really really like explosives )
Reactive plates - Okay on my Gal I love them, but just the basic. No speed sacrifice, and minor rep is handy for limited engagement and retreat operations. I don't run them on my Min at all, I run Kincatz and Card so no space, and I am relying on my shields (with 70hp in armour I rarely find myself damaged, if I've hit armour I am usually already dead)
Shields - I doubt i need to say anything here, you probably have a firm understanding of what you are doing coming from a Cal background. Myself I never stack two modules the same, I run one extender (type based on what I can fit on the build) and fit the other slot to suit need.
I am sure others can give you some good advice as well.

In a group of reds you have to choose which one is the most likely to die as well as the next target. It's like a game of pool, you really have to know your next move before you make the shot. I have been playing this game constantly since February. I have been knifed maybe three times (once in the last week or so). Melee got me once. I have died over 6000 times.

Ghost Kaisar wrote:Onesimus Tarsus wrote:Ghost Kaisar wrote:Just because a weapon isn't popular, doesn't mean it should be removed.
Case in point: Flaylock
Not too popular anymore, due to it's steep learning curve in using it. However, for some people (me included now) it's a go to sidearm for their fits, mainly to how it synergizes with their main weapon. I can kill people with it. I find it useful. Just because it doesn't kill you often, doesn't mean it's useless. So, how do you use the flaylock? 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.
I use it a bit differently, and somewhat the same.
*this is on my lower sp Minmatar account, who can't fit **** all
This is my Basic fit it is scaled up in Advanced as well for fun times
Basic Min scout
Adv NK
Adv Flaylock
Basic Flux
Enhanced Kin
Enhanced Card
Basic Shield
Basic RE
Flaylock plays this way for me
* Back peddling suits after a glancing/non-lethal knife hit get a missile to the face ( they pack peddle and so do I to not get owned by my own splash)
* Flux drops shield and the Alpha damage from the Flaylock drops most suits
* Once you have a handle on flight path you can snipe shot people with it
* Awesome on damaged suits from a flanking position
* Attacking from above/odd places this works wonderfully with the flux, and I there are more people than I want to deal with NK wise.
* Trolling HAVs (one flux, and a clip from a FL often causes reflexive activation of modules and fleeing)

thanks, i get what u meant about the reactive plates. I noticed that its insta kill once i lose the shields unless im lucky. might put another dampner or a regulator or cpu
The basic reactive may give enough to survive if you have skilled up armour a bit, it really depends on how far your "core skills" are. I like the basic reactive, but if you are not surviving the initial damage then it's just space lost.
The reason I run Catz is for the speed, it helps with the knifing. The Card while it is helpful in making my sprint last longer, is more for all the jumping I do. I often try to approach from unexpected place, and when I hit trouble I sprint, and leap to shake of any orientation the enemy has on me, helps get behind them (sometimes on top ) .
Adding a Basic Damp will get you under Advanced scanners at this point I believe, depends on your passive skill bonus.

Hackers are easy too (tanked up heavies can be knife issue sometimes )
Thought with snipers as practice is you can read the intel and get a feel for your damage rather leisurely, also for a newer knifer it offers a chance to test charge level damage, where to aim to get slashes in on two folks, and range of the knifeGǪ. this last one is important (and there is a reason that i mention it without saying what exactly is important about it )

Your observations held constant, I'm very much hoping for two equipment slots and a CPU/PG buff for Scouts. Let's hope Remnant has remained true to his original vision, such that Hugs for Scouts =/= Hugs for Everyone.
If a few changes happen,
CPU/PG increase for Scouts*
Second EQ slot would help scouts with cloaks, as well as versatility of roles.
1 more module slot
Decrease Profile to 40 (or nerf scanners to a reasonable set up)
Increase Scan range to 20 (25 would be awesome)
*with an Increase to CPU/PG a decrease to the logi's is also necessary not only to make the new Scout Role bonus viable, but to balance out the customizability of all suits. If the Logi remains high CPU/PG then Assault will still be meaningless, HP tanking will still happen, cloaks will be easier to fit than for scouts (nullifying the benefit of the role bonus) Heavies will struggle to find support.

Speed and Maneuverability are an advantage
Low health of the scout is irrelevant (vehicles damage potential is meaningless against infantry)
Having run sidearms for so long, it is not a detriment to "give up" the Light slot for AV weapon of choice.
I can be very effective at AV, but the rewards of it are just not there, and many aspects of AV areGǪ frustrating
Recall is too quick and readily available
AV weapons are a little UP
In all my playing around though, I feel that two scouts working together could effectively handle a lot of vehicles.

In my limited experience it seems as if the tankers are getting more RE scout savy. Esp with their 3rd person view and sound letting them know we are placing the RE. I get one on and am immediately backed over, or they take off. I have yet to figure out how to lay a trap and goad them.
Yeah, I've sen that too
My solution has been to place the first RE on the side (preferably their right side), toss the second near the back, and the third in the sweet spot.
Reason for the right side:
- if you only get two on they sometimes run to recall, the tendency is to stand on the right side to do a recall
- They don't often see that one go on, your chances of getting three are increased.

What if if wasnt "trade a grenade slot for an extra eq slot", but "cloaks are now grenade type items instead of eq"?
Unlikely, I know, since CCP really really wants to give logis an advantage with their EQ bonus. But for the sake of careful examination, can we compare possibilities?
The one thing I like about grenade slot just for scout, is that it's always a single button away.
Leaving room for "activate IMMEDIATELY at spawn", potentially.
The thing I like about it for non-scout reasons: logis would no longer get a fitting bonus for it :)
Things I DONT like about having it in grenade slot instead of extra eq slot:
... I could do some seriously wicked things with TWO EQ slots on a scout suit. Muah-ahahhaa....

No. 45 dB vs 50 dB is negligible as they both take 2 dampeners to beat proto scanners.

How about if the db were the proposed 35?

Which raises questions as to the place of a scout.
Add cloak to these fits, and there'd be no question.
Meaning, "the logi would rule all"? After all, ,if logi is better than scout now... logi+cloak will still be better than scout+cloak. Which also implies, you guys are fighting the wrong fight. you could "win" the scout suit battle, but still lose overall, "Because logi". Seems like the battle you should really be focusing on, is "cloak for scouts only".
Here, this somewhat addresses that issue.
I do intend to make a large post/thread outlining my perspective on the state of suits and changes but I have a busy life.

If the scout actually was working properly now then your "as is" set up would be great, but right now the CPU/PG, and slot configuration does not work well. The scout was viewed as needing a buff for a long time with the current set up, why would leaving it that way now be good?
The addition of an extra equipment slot would help scouts out, not just for cloaking but for a lot of uses. Adding a second equipment slot, without the removal of sidearm, and an increase to CPU/PG would actually be a great fix with or without the use of a cloak.
What I find interesting is the idea that because the cloak is being introduced, the second EQ slot with Light and Sidearm is now viewed as OP on the scout (even though nobody has actually seen it in action) but other suits that were preforming well (or too well) can remain essentially as they are, or even buffed. Do you see many people saying that the Medium, or Commando suits will need to be adjusted due to the implementation of the cloak. Logi in particular will be able to fit the cloak more easily than other suits, potentially more easily than the scout, but we don't see massive discussion about them giving up anything for it. One could say that they don't all have access to a sidearm, but this was done for other reasons than cloaks. So why are scouts supposed to be the only suit balanced around the cloak.
Make the cloak balanced, make the scout suit able to function without the cloak. I am of the belief that all the suits should be able to function, and allow you to fit them however you please without sacrificing balance, or requiring a single piece of equipment to function.

Exactly. The reason why scouts dont get buffs, is: it's all Shotty's fault (and musturd, and a couple others) You really want scouts to get a true buff, with no trade? Okay, all the top tier scouts take a break for a few months. Or mess around with just heavies for a few months.

Backpeddle counter nice
Use the FL the same way, it has more range than the SG, and has the added Flaylock This guy is ballsy or an idiot effect.
SG difference in effective range is only 2 meters from the NK. if you nicked them, you don't need to be in effective range so that would work. Blue shield thoughGǪ if he gets back beyond 5m on you, it's a bit more of a fight.

When the Geisha dropped me the first time i thought it a fluke range thing, but it was exactly the same the second timeGǪ this is what made me question the range.Honestly, I thought this was one of those secrets that was just not talked about by blade masters like you. And i stumbled on it.

I suspected it was part of how they changed the arc, or whatever they did to fix detection. interesting. I suspect that is a bug in the way kill distance is reported, then. (although I confess that was also how I was thinking I got SG'd to death from 8m) Particularly when reporting distance when both target and attacker are in motion. It's to do with lag in the round trip between attacker, server, and target, for "i killed you" messages. Thats why we can suddenly fall down dead, AFTEr we get around a corner and are supposedly safe from fire.
Thought about that as well, it's why I went sniper hunting.
Quil Evrything wrote: way to test:
stand behind a sniper.
Measure range with readout from a sidearm.
get to 3m. swing with knife. (you will probably miss)
step closer, to 2m. swing with knife. (you will probably miss)
step closer, to RIGHT where it changes from 2m, to 1m. you will probably miss again, but maybe not
Other way to test: slowly walk forward until your knife crosshair turns red. In theory, this is the maximum distance you can be and still hit.
Switch to sidearm and check distance readout.
But probably the actual swing test is the better test.
First test is what I did, then I replicated it on a two more snipers (admittedly in the same match but not a laggy match). It was 3m red each time and they died. Not sure if I missed any variables.

Longest kill I have gotten is 2.17m. Ive missed swipes at 1m before. I think its a hitbox thing, NKs have a real hard time hitting scout suits. While heavys I bet you could hit from 4m out because they have such large hitboxes. What frame was the sniper wearing?
When i was getting hit at 3m I was in my Standard Minja, and used the same against the sniper. Sniper was Cal Med Adv. (I could be wrong about the Adv it was in december.)
Something to note about when I tested as well the NK always seems to say 1m from target. Used my Flay to check rangeGǪ this may be a factor?

Hell, even medium frames understand honor!

The way I was looking at the Amarr was that rather than lose the slot as per normal Amarr builds, they received equal slots gaining the ability to add a bonus of their choice.

But the whole mantra of "Amarr has one less slot because HP" is gone away with. Look at the Commando and Sentinel, both have the same amount of slots as the other racial variants with a bonus equal in value as well. The HP is made up for by lack of speed. I could understand your argument if the same racial mantras of today still applied in 1.8, but they don't.
I had noticed the Commando, but thought that was because zero slots is ******** stupid . Honestly did not look at the Sentinel at all

Question
Don't know if this has ever been suggested, I know falling damage has been a point of discussion on the boards before.
Would it be a good idea (maybe already suggested) to apply stamina to falling damage before shield/or armour damage? not suggesting this as a scout only option either, but as an overall mechanic.
This would make scouts a bit more resilient in a fall (and give the Amarr less to whine about). Feedback and thoughts would be appreciated before I through this out as a Feedback/Request

I said it once Aero, the stamina bonus is good, and you should have something else, but it should not bring the suit to OP, I know you don't want that either. The thing is with a number of the other people pushing for changes are not seeing the potential this suit has, many of them seem not to have run scout before, and many seem to not understand what the changes they propose would actually do.
For example: A bonus to Scrambler Pistols dmg is not the same as a bonus to NK dmgGǪ I run both. (though i think a fitting bonus might work well)
And i am only teasing about the whining. I think you know I have advocated for the Amarr to get better balance in FW, parity in suits and many other things despite not playing Amarr myself. The HP potential of an Amarr scout is pretty high, and even without tanking them out they look to have a much higher survival rate than any other scout. It is not a bad suit, but the way some people have been talking you would think it was worse than the current Min Scout.

I agree that it is disappointing, but 20 percent per level would be nuts.
Then another equivalent bonus is required by the Amarr suit to bolster and determined its role of the battlefield as frankly speaking with the current stat of it, all it has is the capacity to run slightly longer than its counter parts who can equally hide better, passive scan better, and hack better.
Yes, another bonus would seem to be in order. The problem I am seeing though is what it should be, many of the suggestions I have seen are over the top. Fitting reduction for Scrambler Pistol is one of the better ones (they are brutal to fit on a scout), also someone suggested the Uplink bonus that the Logi is supposed to get, that has a lot of potential ( I worry that it would really niche the Amarr Scout though)

Aero, I can see where you are coming from here, and honestly i do not think that you are pushing this as favouring the Amarr. Please understand that I am not arguing against you, and I hope you understand that I am not against balancing the Amarr scout. The thing is having the ability to but two complex Card Regs on a suit without a stacking penalty will not be good for balance. As I have said before it needs something else, what that is I don't know, but most of the suggestions I have seen are not likely to be balanced either. The confrontational attitude that many (not saying you, but you have verged on it before) take is not one that will produce good dialogue on the subject so I avoid it. Also don't imply that I am slow and need things put simply for me, this is very much not the case.

You are actually someone that I have respect for, and I actually enjoy reading what you have to say. Then how do ou advocate allowing the Gallente and Caldari suit sit have profile dampening, and scan precision modules with no stacking penalties? Those are easily by far more beneficial than a stamina bonus.
Not all modules are the same, a non stacked penalty in precision is an awesome bonus as is the profile bonus. The suits do not have an inherent bonus to profile or scan range in their basic stats (comparable to other scouts), also neither of them are actually as easy to fit on a scout suit. The numbers as a base are also different, as is how they interplay with the other countermeasures that they are against. Stamina is not something that has countermeasures, unless something changes in active scanners the profile damp bonus is still nullified very quickly and easily unless you sit specifically to counter it.
If the Min scout had a built in Complex Kin Cat, so you could have two with no stacking penalty, would that be considered the same thing? I think that would be insanely OP. The Min already has an increased sprint, increasing it this way would make it over the top. They received a hacking bonus, which is really good and fairly balanced, coupled with the NK bonus which is great if you run KN. KN bonus however is not the same as a dog bonus for any other weapon in the game, and I don't think that needs explaining.
In my opinion Cal and Gal suits are put together really well, not just because of the bonuses but the package.

I personally think stamina is one of those things that is hard to explain how important it is to a scout so everyone is like "MEhhhh boring." Boring yes, but important to your survival it is. I understand how important it is. Its the key to my mobility, my jumping, my sprinting. I have a basic capacity and pretty fair understanding of this game. But you don't think the other bonuses aren't significantly unfair. To achieve similar performance in one field I would have to dedicated a complex module to my Amarr scout yet another suit would only have to deciated a Standard module. Now granted the Amarr do have a stamina bonus, however this stamina bonus is basic racial aspect of the suit, and not something to be bartered with for its bonus. That's like taking the speed from the Minmatar suit but making its bonus the equivalent of a standard Kinetic catalyser.
The differences that seem to be ignored is that the complex modules are different from the stamina bonus.
Damp bonus can be countered
Precision bonus can be countered
Hacking bonus works great in Skirmish, is okay in Dom, virtually pointless in Ambush
Not all modules are the same, implying that they are is misleading.

Trying to run up a scoring system that measures suit performance based on built in modules from a 'blank' suit which basically means takes the worst stats possible and round down. This is what I would call an adam suit if perfected, but for now since its just scouts only going to call this one the Cain suit instead.
The more I try to balance the scores out the more it looks like minmatar got the shortest end of the metascore of built in modules. (however I haven't counted speed into yet which probably would help ALOT) either way Ill post the results once I get done.
Could you post the Cain suit stats, or Adam suit if you can nail that down. I think it would be interesting to see how that looks.

I have broken down and skilled into nova knives on this character, my G-Scout, for the Shinobi event, and I have to say that I'm having a challenging time with it. I am getting some kills but overall the style is a pretty big change from my pistols. I hope that it's not making my gun-game worse....
Anyway - what are your thoughts on using knives with the 1.8 G-Scout v.s. the 1.8 Minja? I'm sort of on the fence regarding whether the knife damage bonus and speed will be the way to go, or if it would be more useful to have a lower base profile dampening and rely more on stealth and infiltration..... plus, having the armor repair is nice and will mean I'm always combat ready if I can manage the time between engagements....
Any experienced players used both and have any comments?
Please note that in 99% of my games I run basic suits and basic pistols; which I intend to continue in 1.8. For knives I'd probably go with the ZN-28's, with max proficiency skills and maybe a damage mod in the high if I choose Gallente over Min.....
Run both with knives, and the style is very different. When I have a chance I'll fire some info to you.

Amarr weapons are tough to fit

Laser weapons are tough to fit because of CPU. Minmatar and Caldari are shield oriented, which also uses CPU, so it can be hard for them to fit. Amarr and Gallente are armor oriented, which uses more PG meaning they don't get as much CPU. However, the Amarr when compared to the other armor race, Gallente, has more CPU in exchange for PG. So Amarr actually is already designed to fit laser weaponry fairly well. Hope that made sense. Also I'd hold off on suggesting any more fitting reductions until we see the fitting costs of cloaks. I've used the stats presented to make prototype scout fits of all races and all of them end up with a lot of spare CPU/PG for that cloak, so it's really hard to judge.
Follow that perfectly
Never have fit an Amarr suit before, so only have a rough idea from fitting the Gal scout, which in it's current incarnation does not have the capacity of the new suits (and is still way easier to fit than the current Min scout) so definitely defer to your wisdom on this.
The cloak fitting cost is a factor in a lot of theory craft, I wish we had that info it would be extremely useful to know.

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.
Do see what I am trying to say?
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 regular FL user here (and I have a dual wield FL fitGǪ but it's more for lol effect as the reload is not terrible)
I got good with pistols which helped with FL (though they are different and you have to really adjust to how they work, it helps learning to land the shots.
Essentially I agree with what Ghost is saying, it matches pretty well with my experience as well.
Splash damage is fine, upping that is not really necessary
Direct damage should be boosted for the reasons Ghost has said, but also raises effectiveness as a vehicle deterrent.

That being said, we have not seen the real revamp on medium frames, assault might actually be good at assaulting. Also we have seen the Heavies those are looking to be some solid tank now. Cloak is going to bring a lot of people to scout frames looking for an EZ way, but I think the masses will disperse into a few roles if CCP did this right.

Weakest class? Certainly not. You might be judging from the minja, but the other scouts are quite possibly almost as good at assaulting as the assaults. Except with cloaks, high movement speed, stealth, etc. They may not outshine the other classes, but they are certainly not going to be the weakest class.

Fitting a cloak already severely gimps their fits and expecting them to fit a bunch of damps (if the cloak didn't provide dampening) on top of it is probably a bit overkill. CCP wants the cloak to be difficult to fit on non-scouts, not pointless.
However, yes, the cloak's dampening on top of a scout's low profile might be too good. I was expecting cloak to cause profle to go up not down to balance it out with scanners. I actually thought at first it was and started fitting to account for +25% dampening instead of -25% dampening
I think that the cloak is intended to be the "active" counter to the Active Scanner. Where precision enhancement and dampeners are intended to work against each other.
This is not the way I originally thought it was going to be, but the more i think about it the more it seems that way.

I agree that the rifles all out CQC SG, also NK if they see you/don't die in the first .5 sec.
I find the RR more annoying, because the spool up does not mean anything with backpedle, it is not supposed to be good at shorter ranges
Backpedal nerf would likely fix a lot of problems.

I think CPU/PG will likely go down to align with the fitting bonus. I doubt slots will be removed from the Logi. I think assaults will get another slot though.

With the way the cloak looks, and my intended use of it, I don't think I am going to need to proto cloak. I suppose it depends on if a bonus is attached to the skill it may be useful. Right now just not seeing a point to going full out on it for me.

Scouts everywhere last nightGǪ
So much awesomeness I can't toss down some highlights
One match on the same side of a scout squad (yeah still being all solo despite my better judgement)
Next match i was against a scout squad
You folks had me running my scout but off to hold/take objectives, and anytime I stopped moving Arbitor knifed me
2vs me knife fight as well was fun Nyr o7
Could not take D for the death of me to many scouts holding it. So I went and popped a HAV only to get sniped by Shotty after getting it
With or against scouts make this game way more fun.

Played a match today where friendlies lag-bombed the Supply Room. Played another match where hostiles lag-bombed the Supply Room. No lag whatsoever in either case.
Experience in regard to equipment lag is similar to yours. It is much improved since the fix.
I need to explain my comment a bit.
What I experience now seems to be related to coms.
When I encounter organized corp squads, I experience lag spikes when I am near multiple members of a squad. Friend or foe.
I thought that this might be related to location, however this does not seem to be the case. As I can right beside people in New Zealand, Europe, (England as well, cause i know some can be right proper about that distinction ) or Russia and not experience this effect. I have even been in squad with Russians and no lag spikes.
These spikes occur when I am in the vicinity of squads who do use communication, if I encounter a single member of a squad (even from Japan) no problems, but if two are there there is a change, get more in the vicinity and i am stuttering like Dustin Hoffman on a sunday drive.
While I can't say that this is a guaranteed issue, I have enough reason to think it could be related.
I need more info really.

Seriously though, some people don't talk much or prefer text to voice. Plenty of reasons to not talk, plenty of reasons to talk, your choice. I see nothing wrong with that at all, talk if you want to don't if you don't. Personally I think you would have good things to say if you spoke, judging by what you say around here.

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p wrote:what would you guys think if nova knives had a ballistic function added to them? pressing L1 or whatever aiming button brings them up for throwing. you throw one at a time, and can charge them for a 3x damage bonus, with R1, or just tap R1 to release them. They would fly about 8 meters and then go on an exponentially lower downward path (similar to a half parabola inverted over the x axis). When the knives miss, they are marked on your mini map and on the ground with a blue glow like that of equipment, and can be picked up and retrieved. If they kill the enemy on the first or second knife, the knives fall where the enemy died. If not, they pop out of the enemy after one second for retreival. When you die, the knives despawn themselves. After throwing one, you must press L1 again and a short animation must occur before the second kinfe can be thrown, the animation duration could be on the order of like .1 seconds, just to prevent spam and keep them balanced. The knives are not a separate variant, but just gain another function. Any other questions and I'd be happy to answer them. Thoughts?
EDIT: also for those of you who like #'s:
max throwing knife damage with no damage mod on a minmitar scout=
200 (ishnoks)*1.15(profV)x1.25(min scout bonus)x3(charge bonus)=862.5 fully charged, and 287.5 with no charge
This idea comes up every so often in various incarnations.
You put some thought into it, which is nice.
Personally I prefer my knives to be knives.

Given the effectiveness of back peddling against shotgunsGǪ I think a better fix would be actually reducing back peddle speed of all suits. It's a problem for both these weapons
I used to run just NK fits exclusively, added a sidearm just for these occasions. This account I run a ScP (often Breach, but sometimes others), my Minja runs the Flaylock, cause it's more badass

If you are dealing with a stamina stutterer, they are easy to knock off just wait em down. But those marathon ladsGǪ I have had luck running up beside them get a little (very little) ahead of them turn as you charge. They will be turning towards you to figure out why they just saw and >snickit< and follow with quick slash. If you are Minja it will get most, if you are Gal with less than optimized damage, you may have to deal with back peddling.

Will depend on the 'final' gallente spec. I suppose I might also just use caldari scout as "caldari logi light", and nuke the full logi. Caldari logi is so gimped compared to others. I played around with fittings for Cal ADV logi vs gallente ADV scout, trying similar things: stealth, a weapon, and tank. The Cal logi only ended up with 100 more HP. (Since one slot had a proto damp) Mind you, it could also fit a proto scanner, which is nice.. but since they're getting nerfed anyways... Meh?
So what you are saying is the new scouts don't appear to be out scouted by a logi.

Part of my post implies that the "new scout", will out-logi a logi I meant more along the lines of, "what I already have, I think I'll keep anyway"
But in a Hobbity sort of way
On a related note, I want to see what they have done with the Med suits.
If respec happens, I am of the same mind as you, keeping what I have. I don't even think their is enough that I would change that would amount to anything significant.

Are ferroscale and reactive plates as nice as they look on paper? No currently ferroscale and reactive are garbage compared to regular plates whats wrong with them? I know regular plate gives significantly more HP but at a speed penalty I dont really want to incur (especially since Amarr is the slowest fattest scout to start with). Are the ferroscale just too expensive for the HP?
Fitting cost is high on Ferro, but that does not appear to be an issue for the Amarr scout, so the may work well. If you don't want to slow down it's a good option. A Basic Reactive is a staple on my Gal now, to avoid the slow down and give a little rep. Though with the Amarr being built the way it is fitting a higher tier Rep may be a better choice.
A lot of how to fit it really depends on your style.
If you are going full combat scout, really Marauder would have a better idea than me.

Really, this is about it.
I have more fun against and with scouts than I do in a match were I am the only scout.
If I play the way I play and enjoy it, I don't see a problem with more scouts showing up. I don't want the suits to be OP, or become FOTM. It would be nice if people just used what they found to be fun and suiting to their play style, and many people will do this. Some of them will chose scout, and that is great, I feel sorry for those who wish to dedicate to any role when a big shift like this happens though. Sometimes old school users of the suit will be weary of FOTM chasers and not be as helpful and friendly as they would have been when the suit was underused, UP, or just challenging to use. This applies to any suit not just scouts, look at the grief people take speccing into Logi, the assumption that it was just to be "slayer logi" was an underlying issue in many discussion.
I hope to avoid making assumptions of intent myself, but it may be hard.

I would add that running experiments with lower tier gear does not really mean **** if you are doing it with high levels of sp invested in passive bonus skills. I have to agree with the elelphant. Those people who rely on proto to do well quickly find their wallets running dry. If you have the skill to stay ISK positive running proto all day (like kingbabar or myself) there is no reason not to. If you play this game in squads it really sucks to be the only one is basic gear as it seems everyone steals all your kills. Solo, 30/0 in a dragonfly isn't that hard, but put at least 1 more competent person in your squad and it gets a whole lot more difficult to get those numbers- exceptions to when you are in vehicles. Though I personally get bored with that stuff fast, the only time you'll see me in proto gear in a pub match is right after I've deleted all my fits and forgotten to make new ones. But I can also keep up with my friends with like 5.0+ KDRs while in a dragonfly scout with basic shotgun The abysmal difference in skill level in this game is also why I can run around with a KLA Plasma cannon for a light weapon and ZN Nova Knives for a sidearm and still have a positive KDR at the end of the match
I understand where you are coming from here, but not everyone who runs Proto has the skill to do that. The idea that running basic or starter fits and still doing well, if you are actually a good player, and have all the benefits of well spent sp is simply does not translate to the reality of many other people who are not in the same situation. I can do well in my dragonfly and go up against Proto squads, still having fun. With my other account that has considerably less sp, i do not do as well. While my skill as a player is one factor the amount of sp on that account has an effect through passive skills. Not easily being able to get under scanners, limited passive scan, base EHP, essentially the passive boosts that the sp gives a character does make a difference. The problem I have with what was said is essentially the false representation that it is a level playing field, which it is not. I am not saying that it necessarily should be, but it is misleading to say that it is all personal skill, or all gear, or all sp, all these factors do play into it. It reminds me of when people say "This 'insert racial minority' is successful, so the ones who aren't are just lazy" which ignores the inequalities of opportunity that the majority of the 'racial minority' faces. It oversimplifies the situation, to validate the point.

Because I squad up with the same people I am dragged into the same battles against the same people I normally play. I have no problem fighting them on Appia, Priestess, or any other toon. Though that first 1 million was brutal. It's nice to have an extra 49HP on my scout or 57HP on my assault suits, But I really don't see that much of a differnce after you get your first racial suit to level 1 and an ADV weapon and a STD sidearm.
Appia, you are very good though, I would defiantly rank you as an above average player. Not someone to compare to the general player base.

Marad''er wrote:Why is there so much hate for people that run proto in pubs on the forums ? :(
People have different reasons for it I think.
Me, I actually don't have much of a problem with people running Proto, I have issues with some attitudes people have. Not everyone just certain personality types I conflict with these people would annoy me in Proto gear or not. I could define the attitude i don't like more, but really it does not matter, it's what bothers me and only really matters to me.
Appia runs Proto, but I like her (because she has a good attitude, and is funny as hell) You are a Proto monster but your antics are entertaining Plenty of people use it and it is not a problem, but they also tend to be people who don't mind messing around and having fun as well. J0LLY used to destroy me with his corpmates all the time when i was getting back into the game. I had fun, because i had to use tactics and adapt in order to the deal with them because they played smart, it was not just gear. The more kills I got against them, the more i realized I was improving. I fondly remember knifing J0LLY while he was in a Logi suit hacking, with a heavy pal, first thought was yeah got em. Second thought was they are going to get me backGǪ hide
For me when i see a red team stacked with a corp (or two alliance corps) I don't give up or worry to much about it. I still play to have fun, and rarely come out negative in ISK. But i can understand how it would be frustrating for some people to come up against that. Especially if all they see is a group of Proto redlining and spawn camping then come on the forums and read about how "awesome" some people think that they are for doing it. Because let's face it these actions are not really demonstrating how good these players are. Sure they may be great players, but this is not a demonstration of how they are great. Frenzied firing at anything that spawns is not showing the teamwork, use of tactical movement, cunning plans, innovative builds or adaptability.

Implementing all of these ideas would actually make things less balanced, or at the very least skewed in the other direction, in my opinion.
All weapons don't need a damage reduction, alpha damage weapons, and specialty weapons more often need an increase, or another form of buff. Rifles could have damage slightly toned down (exception being LR), or a decrease in AA may fix them as well. Specific changes to some weapons are warranted, example the RR is intended to be better at longer ranges, but still performs exceptionally in CQC. If CQC alpha weapons were performing properly then this would be less of an issue.
The lack of feedback you have received relates to the format (i know it's hard to lay things out sometimes with the limitations of characters, and really my formatting is not awesome either) Also, sometimes silence is the best form of diplomacyGǪ

Oh, that sounds neat. Writing 50'000 in a month would be a huge challenge, took me 2 weeks to get the page I have. I'm putting alot of thought into this. For once.
Had the privilege of reviewing and critically analyzing someones manuscript once, I believe it was her second and third drafts, and had been in the works for years. The author has yet to have it published yet, but it does actually seem promising.

I've brewed all sorts of different types, I really enjoy a good sour beer. There are some real bad sour beers, but I had one over Christmas that changed my life. Was called "the beer that saved Christmas". I've never brewed a sour....they take waaaay to long....talking 8months to a year for full flavor. I just don't have the patience for that. In terms of my favorite beer I have made....probably my pumpkin beer this year. Most commercial places go way overboard on the spices and I love a good pumpkin, so I made my own. Best part about brewing your own, you always have beer.....it's good beer, it's cheap, and it's usually 6-7% alcohol. I've never managed to knife someone in a jeep.....I've tried....a lot. :(
Local pub does an on site brew with seasonal pumpkin beer, not over spiced (at least under the current brewmaster I love it

I always find the concept of "girly" drinks to be strangeGǪ
Old past time of mine and a friend:
Story time,
Lovely tiled floor, pretty waitresses, well dressed folks sipping high end drinks to ****** ambient music. In the centre sits, two lads with mohawks up, studded leather jackets, sipping the finest fruity from from drinks we could order. Commenting on the uncouthness of some of the drunken business men behaving like dirty old men. The servers found us entertaining enough to give us free rounds.

Unless they are reducing Logistics PG/CPU to where using PG/CPU upgrades is mandatory nothing will change. . .
Not Django but here
CPU/PG pretty much has to change in order to make the changes they are talking about, otherwise it will actually be worse. With EQ fitting bonus, it will leave more room for stacking death.
The impression I have is that they are going to keep the slots the same, lower the CPU/PG, and if that does not work they will drop the slot count. We will see eventually though, for now it's only speculation.

Man, let's hope that they decide to improve the Amarr suit... I signed that petition that K.C. had made in the feedback section. As it stands now there is so not a reason to use that suit unless you go for "it looks cool" or "because it's UP".
Aero sometimes runs a scout.
Ran into him a couple times doing this, True as well. They both use Gal (and pretend they are Golden ) Closest thing one can get to the Amarr scout.
True in a scout suit is very clever and handles himself well, he will be a force even in a gimped suit (though I hope it is fixed by launch, as well) Aero is also a clever one, together i bet they work very well though I have not encountered them both scouting at the same time.
Though they have not Embraced the Death, they have a good style.

Not dissimilar from mine.
You should upgrade that Militia Card though it will help with fitting.
Without having a very low db you are going to suffer hard as a Min what do you have in Dampeners? Also passive scan range is your friend I recommend getting two (this is minimum) levels in that soon.
You will notice a difference.
Recently put my Minja under the scan db of vehicles without using modules (Min scout IV, Profile Damp III) made a huge difference in my survivability.
Passive range helps to find targets and see when you should run away, don't let this replace your situational awareness though. Glance at it when you need to or when you are hacking things, other than that watch what is around you.
I think if you stay Min it will cost less than switching over.
Though I would say do what you enjoy the most.

It is very hard for me to know how many Fatkids I have shanked
Though i had one that was just priceless last night.
Minja
Dom with pipes and the sweet L socket.
Sneaking around the back of the L socket after knifing a couple folks. Decide to go take the CRU so I went the long way around the back.
Heavy standing waitingGǪ For a HAV
Sprint inGǪ flash of blades, still standing he wobbles backwards from me. Quick switch to Flaylock BOOM
Normally i blow up a vehicle, on principle. But I did not have full resources at the time (only had one RE left) and the CRU was still not hacked.
Pretty sure the fat guy was coming back for me.
So I hacked the HAV and hop in.
Now this is only the second maybe third time I have driven one of these monstrosities, like i said i prefer to see them BURN. It seems you get the control layout that the owner has. While I am trying to figure out how to make this thing move the heavy shows up. Fluxes me, and starts shooting the HAV with his HMG, i suspect he was angry
I finally get a handle on this thing, and start trying to blast em back with the rail turret
I got the poor fellow (after a few tries)
Off for a joy ride
Drive around like a noob tanker for a few minutes enjoying an insane amount of invulnerability. See a few Blue HAVs about who no doubt are watching me with disgust ( definitely not a good driver, definitely not, no). Get another kill sniping infantry with my Rail turret Ran some sod over. Eventually Someone brought out a Forge and blasted me a bit, but not effectively enough, did not even have to kick in the hardeners. suddenly a new HAV shows up and BOOM my joy ride ends
Oh how I wish we could recall HAVs that we hack. I would ransom them back to their owners

You, would have had a field day with this, it was a tricked out HAV, not some unmodified Militia pile. Anyone with some level of skill would have enjoyed the theft a lot more than me.

The problem is you need to be able to throw them a decent distance to be viable to get on the tanks with less chance of being noticed. As far as activation time goes, not sure really. I have had moments where they take forever to detonate, or I've set them off just as someone turns and we both die. Eve hit the button once only to be killed by the RR of the guy I killed Don't know if that is Lag, spool time on the RR being faster than the RE or whatGǪ Just know that it has happened to me. I know that when i am setting them down I can be twenty metres away before they show as active on my Tac. Don't really know if that is to fast or not.

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.
Really, on the list or not it really not an issue. I was scout since beta, did not come to the forums for a long time so I was a little late to the registry. Yes many people take pride in being on the registry from way back, but I don't necessarily see it as a measure of ones scoutness. Most of us share a certain bond and sense of community, really one that should welcome those who chose this suit for the awesomeness that it is, and not because of the FOTM (anticipated or otherwise)
Something that i completely agree with that Shotty once said "If scouts become OP, you can bet that most of the vet scouts will be amount the most vocal about fixing it. We don't want to be EZ mode." (paraphrasing a bit, but you get the drift) This attitude basically ties us together a fair bit, in my opinion.
As far as i am concerned we are all in this together. o7

PS: Let me know if you change your mind :-)
Thanks Shotty. If this takes off it would probably be best to link to this post and the next. (Double posting like a Kaiser) I have to say that I'm torn now that I've read some replies here. The intent would be to dedicate a post or two of mine in this thread for an updated "scout registry" and also as a place to put any other relevant info such as links to cool scout info posts. This would be to have a record of current scouts, help integrate the newbros into the community, and basically minimize the number of continually growing scout threads to monitor... On the other hand I like the idea of keeping this somewhat underground and pointing serious scouts here to keep this thread more manageable, fun, and less prone to invasion by less than serious or troll scouts. Let any other threads pop up and die out as their authors can manage. I'm leaning towards just letting the newbros do their own registry and I'll post there when interested, while continuing to point other scouts here. But I'm willing to put in the time to integrate them here if *we* want (or, if we'd like an updated registry for our old timers who didn't post up prior to the closure). For compiling updated registry in barbershop: Against putting updated scout registry in barbershop: Mollerz
If you are willing to put in the effort to do this Matti, you know I back you up.
We will always have new scouts coming in and really this is a great place for them to get acclimated and bounce thoughts off people. I don't see a reason to exclude people, i am not about to just label all new scouts FTM chasers (Except Patrick he totally is a FOTM chaser ) And while the Registry is an entity in and of itself now, it should really be a place (i.e. storefront) for people to integrate, contribute and grow within it.
Besides everybody needs Appia to toughen them up a bit

From now on, I'll just be running Scout on my alts to get used to the feel, the flanking, and different ways or tactics I can use my Scout for.
Also, would it be worth it to drop the Cloak if I had the 2 Complex Damps? Would the Dampeners even get me around Proto Scanners? Or should I use a Scanner and Remotes? :o if your goal is to beat Gallente Logisitcs using a focused scanner you only need 1 complex and 1 enhanced dampener and activatived cloak. If your goal is to beat the standard proto scanner with Gal-Logi bonus you only need a complex dampener and no cloak. Single complex + cloak beats standard focused scanner.

Merit to this for certain.
Also, role specific section is really something I would like to see. CCP should not overlook the value of community building potential that it could bring. This thread is an example of that, good and bad at times.

I think the Proximity Scanners will be more useful than the others :3 10 second visibility, 20 second cooldown. Although it only has a 60 meter range, and I think it has a terrible angle.
I know the debate over scanners on scouts and sure they have usesGǪ
I am of the opinion that they are more trouble than they are worth.
Scan message is bad for business
You will have a good range and precision on a Cal scout.
I would go other equipment than the scanner, RE (I like the BOOM), Injector (useful in many ways... stealthy scan), Cloak, Hives. All these things have uses that are not replicated by your suit itself.

I agree it is really about how you are approaching the use of your suit. Though this is not to say that using a light frame as a light assault does not mean you are not a scout. Plenty of people use the scout frame that way, (hell the Amarr frame seems to be designed that way) there are a lot of ways to approach being a scout, it's an abstract role in my opinion.

Again on the topic of new registries, the latest epeen thread won't last - in fact, may have already died. Any new registry would just amount to a list of epeen wavers. Let us not forget that the reason this thread stood the test of time was because the original registry had purpose and meaning and then became something more - this awesome community. You can not do it the other way round - rounding people up does not automatically create meaning or purpose.
We know who most of the dedicated long term scouts are and most of them are in Nos Nothi and we'll vet any applicants there to make sure we only get the diehards, so we don't need a new registry. Anyone here who wants to solidify their place in this community is welcome to join and that's all we need. Does Nos Nothi have many active members to be in squad? Any North Americans in corp, specifically for late night battles. (I'm EST timezone) I recently joined D-Uni because there's usually active members for squad. D-Uni's tax rate is 7%. How much is Nos Nothi's tax rate? (Not a big deal, just curious) I was in R0N1N for about a week and would mainly be in squad with Lightning. Unfortunately there were few active members when I was on late at night. I'll still be referring new scouts to R 0 N 1 N, which should be popular in 1.8.

Most members have their mains in another corp, but it is easy to find people to squad with even if they are not tagged with the Nothi corp.
I am often playing with my Nothi account as it is taking over as my main account. Minja is way more fun, and I am rapidly closing the sp gap on my accounts

Any North Americans in corp, specifically for late night battles. (I'm EST timezone)
I recently joined D-Uni because there's usually active members for squad.
D-Uni's tax rate is 7%. How much is Nos Nothi's tax rate? (Not a big deal, just curious)
I was in R0N1N for about a week and would mainly be in squad with Lightning.
Unfortunately there were few active members when I was on late at night.
I'll still be referring new scouts to R 0 N 1 N, which should be popular in 1.8.

I've moved the passive SP to this character, adv Gal scout. BTW you've probably seen this, it's a looped animated GIF with sound of your Khan sig. http://animated.ytmnd.com
So you have done the reverse of me
Though my Gal is pretty well fine in where I have spent the sp. Happy with everything, with a respec i don't think i would even change much. (tidy up a bit of the tree is all)
I forgot about the looped KHHAAAAAN

What I have gathered from the various Dev comment (I like intel) is that they were individually assessing weapons for damage balanceGǪ
Not necessarily dropping all weapons the 10%
Theoretical assessment of implied language
Alpha damage and support weapons are not dropping in damage and some are receiving an increase (Mass Driver pretty much confirmed)
Rifles are getting a dropped in damage (RR, CR, but not sure about ScR likely, but no idea on the Plasma Rifle)
AV has only been mentioned as "aware of vehicle issues" type comments

Not only will they still make some suits fly majestically into the unknown, but they are my best HAV busting option.
They are the best revive counter option, toss on body and wait for a Nanite ninny then send both suits night night.
Blap a heavy down in health and finish them with one of the three other weapons in your scoutly arsenal.

That time taken to leave, and then get repped and get back in is probably more strategically useful than an outright kill as I'm just 10sec on the nearest uplink away.

Sister in law's birthday yesterday so we went out. managed to have a game before it was time to go.
Run to my first objective, run into a LAV trying to run me over. No problem toss some RE on the LAV.. they fall through it
He drives off to pick on someone bigger, and less explosive than me
Get to my objective, start hacking things moving on to get a couple other points.
Then this Noob pulls up in his Blaster HAV, smelling of tea and I have no RE
He blasts everyone around and then he says "this is my objective now"
I say "you can't have it"
He says "Do you have a flag?"
So later I am running about generally doing bad
And I get a RR in the face

With all these terrible things you post... at least you don't say that Scouts actually agree with you. Why? because the reticle is very difficult to gauge, especially when inside of the reticle there is only a certain unmarked radius that actually hits the enemy. And actually several scouts do agree with me, Djinn marauder and one other i can't remember actually made a video addressing this issue. All your posts are ill conceived and represent a complete lack of fore thought on your behalf, as well as an overly aggressive stance towards attacking anyone whose viewpoints differ in any way from your own, without actually taking into account the gravity of their suggestions.
Stopped there and you would have been fine
Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p wrote: other words, shut the **** up you stupid **** ill fuckin kill you in real life if you try to talk **** to me like that
Here is where you crossed the line dude
Yes, Appia disagrees with you, and yes in a less than diplomatic way.
You want to drag hollow real world threats into something this trivial?
As far as the SG fix goes:
The way the shotgun suffers in my opinion is that it's reticule does not match it's firing area across it's range.
Less dispersion as Appia prefers means that more pellets land in a concentrated area, (essentially throwing slugs instead of scatter) This means the existing damage model is effective, but the reticule should change to reflect it.
Greater dispersion would require more damage, either through a damage increase per pellet, or an increase in the amount of pellets thrown. If this cover the reticule in a meaningful way then the SG would have less problems, I think.
Why is it always the SG that starts things around here

I agree with Haerr,
Just to throw something in on the liar component though Mollerz.
(Sorry Appia, I am not saying that this is your reality)
Biological Sex is different from gender
Your gender can be different from your biological sex (transgender)
Sexual orientation is separate from both (but related)
Your biological sex can be different from your gender identity and you can be attracted to people of the same gender and/or sex.
People do identify as different genders and are straight, gay, or even not sexually attracted to anyone at all.
I never worry about the realities that people present in this context. They are who the feel they are.
Appia may or may not be lying about who she is and it really does not make any difference.
The opinions she expresses, the way she expresses them, her thoughts she shares, these are what makes Appia who she is.

The consequence I see is then you start getting into places where medium suits would start being able to scan scouts passively with fewer modules (and be more able to afford the loss of slots). Also, the lower bonus to precision is kind of a balance to make it harder to scan people than it is to hide. (which I kind of like, it's just perhaps been taken too far right now)
I see how that could be an issue.

The effect of TTK is why scouts have traditionally gravitate towards Alpha Damage weapons.
This is why changing the SG proficiency concerns me (if this is in fact changing and not a typo/oversight in the Devblog)
Going from speed change to higher Shield damage seems to be counterproductive to scouts.

I think thats a bit of an overstatement. Getting them past 3, takes ludicrous amounts of SP. To get just one of them from 3 to 5, you use the same amount as getting multiple other skills from 0-3 And the return is marginal. Getting them past 3 really doesnt matter unless you're attempting to run multiple proto modules on an ADV suit, as far as I've seen.

Do it now, well not a bunch, I rarely (virtually never) stack more than one of the same module on a fitting. It actually works half decent now. 1.8 it will be excellent. best results for survivability I find:
Basic Reactive (I hate movement penalties)
Rep (whatever level you want to fit, I find enhanced works good on my littler fits)
Then add whatever to suit the fit as you see fit.
Ferro adds nicely if you want to slay (but i recommend upping the Rep level to complex to cut time)
Codebreaker when working remote and defending Letters generally some stuff i use.
Edit: I don't mean "Marauder slay" so much as more combat orientated.

I meant when 1.8 drops, what with the reduced ttk and in-built reps and all. Like 23 armour/s or so? Currently, including the skill bonus to repper efficacy you get 25hp/s with 4 complex reppers. In 1.8 that would rise to 28hp/s. It's good but it won't keep you alive under fire.
Balance out the Rep with some Ferro and a cloak and you have your recovery time covered (in a perfect world)
All in on modules is not always the best way to go, spread around the options is sometimes the better option.

I've been getting pretty good at cooking my grenades, mostly for loving Flux to those high uplink spots, or chasing off persistent DS. The side effect is that I have gotten half decent all around with Nades. Even got a "Contact Nade using ****" mail once

I do occasionally blow myself up though

Yep, Rifles give you the versatility of engagement ranges.
The SMG still works in many situations as well. Mostly the older maps.

Anyways there been arguments that a cal scout may be the only thing able to scan down a maxed stealth scout while cloaked, I haven't sat down the math yet. We (Cal scouts) will need a small buff to precision to pull that off. I don't even think we have the CPU to fit 4....
[quote=Matari Scout] tell me about your CPU woes [quote]
Here is the question that is on my mind.
When we were arguing for scout buff part of the reason was that we were to easily countered by scanners. Essentially Scanners had no counter, ow that that is no longer the case, the discussion has turned to that the Cal scout has one counter?
Perhaps IWS can answer this (perhaps NDA no)
DId CCP intend for Gal Scout to be one counter to the Cal Scout?
We used to use the argument that if you had situational awareness you could still spot a scout, but we are forgoing that argument for the Cal scout, whys that? The cloak, would be my guess, but situational awareness is still valid in that situation to a degree.
So what is the priority amount scouts
Stealth > Passive Scan
Passive Scan > Stealth
I honestly don't know what should be the priority
Looking at this as what benefits all scouts
I am a Bastard above all else.

Though I am fairly certain Cal will make and excellent SG scout I'm not so sure. I'm definitely committing to Caldari Scout. The Million Clone event, if successful will net me 2.4 million SP with an active omega booster without passive. plus my 800k I have in reserve right now that is for cloak. I'll have my 3.7M SP for the 24th to get the proto cloak and protocal-scout day 1. As the patch notes come out a week before the patch, and they didn't come out this week. I'll be trying it out, but I think it's going to be my flanking suit for those new maps with waaaaaay too much open ground and the gal-scout my city map scout.
Med/Long range flanking will be pretty fine with the Cal
Greatest assets to my SG experience is radar, movement. Since these aspects are equal on the Spook and the Cal i figure it will work well, especially with the added benefit of "seeing" a lot of the other scouts. though it really depends on a few things, like the state of shields n 1.8

No direct changes to shields. That's a shame, but not entirely unexpected.
I had hoped for a bit of adjustment on the lower tier shield extenders.
Though I still think that we will see an indirect change through TTK adjustment. Not that this is as beneficial to scouts as to the higher EHP crowd. Regeneration becomes a lot more valuable if you live long enough for it to kick in.

I think that build is going to be a great shock trooper. Never run out of ammo.
If I were to go pure Amarr on a build I would go ScR and ScP over the LR and ScP.
The ScR has more versatility, can hit with some Alpha Damage or rapid fire on engagements. Also the trail of light from the LR gives you away and the Amarr is not the speediest get away scout. Though with that range it may be less of an issue.

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
The best argument I heard for weapon respect was for people who were leaving Heavy (though I can't see a lot of people doing that) No refund on Heavy Weapons is pretty much a sink

Only real issue I have with 1.8 is this - you can't use a cloak without level 4 or 5 in a scout suit. Not a problem for me but what about a new player. You would have to grind through a massive amount of sp before you could use your light frame/scout suit as it was intended. I know we've been doing ok without cloaks so far but I'm not sure a new player would see it that way when we are all running around with invisibility.
As for me, I really don't know what to do with my dropsuit sp refund.
I'm currently minmatar. I love the speed and the shield tanking (hit and run) and would love a hacking bonus. Trouble is I'm not such a bit fan of the look. Proto gal scout looks much more awesome as do the new suits. Also I love scanning so the cal or gal bonus would be awesome. Using protofits, on paper the gal scout seems best as long as I don't mind loosing a percent or two speed with plates.
Arrgh I just don't know! That's the same conclusion I've come to, that and the Cal Scout is a PITA to fit feels like CCP shorted it 6-8ish pg, other than that scan precision an adv gal scout can rival a pro cal scoul in all areas, still playing around with the amarr scout don't really know what I think of it.

My understanding is that the event will weigh whichever Booster is active at the start of the event. So the best course of action would be to activate it somewhat close to down time tonight- before the 13th rolls into the 14th. Also, since they are taking the rewards into context of the booster you have activated and we manage to nail the 1 mil goal mark- anyone with an Omega booster, and 10 matches under their belt will receive 2 mil SP. Correct? If they roll with upping it to 2 mil SP, and we manage to nail that- does that mean omega booster mercs will get 4 mil SP?
That is how it appears

I really don't think they will nerf it. Anyone with a brain will be able to figure out someone is cloaked hacking the point, unless they made it so you are stealth hacking it. By that I mean the letter won't flash and the opposing team won't be notified until the point suddenly goes to the other team. The objectives aren't going to be an issue. There's a very limited space where you could be hacking. The issue arises when you talk about CRUs and supply depots. Cloak scouts can very easily hack anywhere on these and you won't know which specific cru/depot is being hacked anyways. My analysis anyways.
Same thoughts here

Will be interesting to see how the transition to weapons works. If I can switch directly to my main weapon with no significant delay (same speed as weapon swaps now), then putting a NK in the light slot could be very effctive for kills out of cloak. This is my only issue with the cloak, which is mainly just an extension of my issue with the equipment wheel. I hate having to switch from a weapon to equipment in an intense situation, because a lot of times that damn wheel isn't sensitive enough. Sure, it audibly signifies I have switched to REs, but then I am still holding my rifle. GRRRRRR.
I only use the wheel to switch to equipment, everything else is quick tap to switch. Gotten pretty fast switch from EQ to Priamary, even secondary by double tap.

I hear that.
I have not Ambushed for a long time, and it's a strange experience.

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

Question is, what is really the minimum tank that is necessary? If you're going to do it at all, what amount makes it actually worth it? Would this be enough to stop me being one-shot by things like scrambler rifles? Shotguns? http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/0/1562 Minimum tank for me in my proto suits are 5-600 hp. Any less than that and I know ill just die a lot in 1v1 engagements. Minimum tank overall if you're a scout should be 450 hp. Any less and you can be killed before you can even react... Maybe that change in 1.8 though with nerf to rifles
I am at best half that amount of hp
Then again I don't produce nearly your kdr either
I am interested to see the dynamic shift with 1.8
One of the things i wonder about is, since TTK changes impact the lowest ehp the least (scouts) higher ehp suits should see greater returns on the TTK changes. Medium/Assaults should actually see some pretty decent durability now, but as people are used to low TTK those who switch to scout will feel the change less (and may remain comfortable with that dynamic)
I hope that that makes sense in wordsGǪ it completely makes sense to me but i know what i mean
Sentinels getting the added bonus of resistances in the new TTK

I have indeed tried a pure ewar set up with only 1 rep and no tank other than a shield extender and it was pretty damn hard.

Tossing a flux nade from a cloaked state. Does that kill the cloak AND put your primary weapon in hand? Switching to a primary weapon from a cloak- Literally, a knife might HAVE to be your LW slot. Is the switch tactically realistic in a fast paced encounter? The effectiveness of camping without precision enhancers. How realistic is it to switch to cloak a bit too late when the calvary arrives unnoticed? The effectiveness of being cloaked even though you were just successfully scanned. Can I really run from one objective to another cloaked safely?

I run Minja most of the time, but not with this account. This account has traditionally been Gal and is my money maker, financing my shenanigans.
Still have 350+ Proto suits from the Knifing event on my Minja so no danger of it really costing me much, but i plan on going back into FW now that it's fixed (it was so damn boring)

I've seen fewer than five kills on the killfeed from new sidearms...but then again I'm rather engrossed in running around in a precision/range tanked cloaked shotgunner fit, giggling maniacally.O
While I only used it once I can share some first impression observations
I have been a ScP user for a long time, Protoed and committed in reload and capacity.
The Scrambler is not the same as the Ion
Scrambler is pretty, elegant, and deadly this is a smooth operator weapon, like Monk.
Ion is a down and dirty, deadly and modified (by Minjas i suspect) to override overheat protocols.
Main advantage of the Ion pistol is the damage profile is Blaster, not as lopsided as the ScP towards shields. This lets you go all out without as much of a dip when you crack the shield.
If you are a scout (and i know you are) you are not engaging when they know you are around.
Against a shield suit hit em hard with a charge, the seize is short compared to the Amarr ScR and LR, you will be able to fire again sooner than many people even realize what happened, unless they were a light frame shield suit, they won't get to react they will be dead.
Armour suits take a bit more effort, spamming the trigger is not the way, timing out the shots a bit (very slightly) then hold a charge when you got them on the ropes.
The Gal Heavy I took out involved some dancing around a crate, two full charges and some plinking. I was aways ready to retreat.
If I ever put a non Matari weapon on my Minja, the Ion would be my choice.

You are invisible, and you think you might be spotted. The red is looking at you, but hasn't shot you yet.
Your knives are in your primary slot, so switching to them is not an option as the red is not right in front of you. Switching to my smg means double tapping R2, which would basically give me away before I could get any shots off, not that I am really able to 1v1 head to head with anyone (222 ehp).
Do you:
A) Remain still, hoping they didn't see you (aka T Rex/Min commando), and just pass on by. But risk them actually seeing you anyways, and just feeling like an idiot standing there while they shot you?
or
B) Risk moving or equiping either the NKs or SMG and making some vain attempt at pressing the attack so that if you die, at least you can feel like you died fighting?
All of these have happened, and sometimes I get passed by and can get the kill, other times I think they might pass and they just shoot, and I have ran head on into the attack without much success. I can't figure out for the life of me what tactics I should use considering being see through but not truly invisible. You hold R2, carefully select the SMG, then pull stunts. Don't double tap R2
I agree with this assessment.

I suspect that many things dod not make the market that were intended to. LP items, and new variants just did not make it in. Perhaps held back just based on volume of what they did in 1.8, stuff they are still fixing (just look at the content we got it feels a bit rushed, no?)

No dampening bonus to cloak:

Doesn't requiring the cloak to have >0 shields just encourage stacking shield extenders?

Here is what I a seeing at this point
To soon to make a concrete call on the cloak
many people are confusing what the issue is because they can not actually define a problem do to resistance to adapting to the changes.
Clack is a game changer
People are not separating what they see as an issue. Example many people have "no problem with the cloak, but have a problem with brick tanked scouts using the cloak"
Because so many are not making a distinction on what the problem is they are calling for changes that are not related to what they want changed.
Changes in a general way affect the strengths and weaknesses of different scout suits in different ways. Nerf the cloak to fix the "Gal Scout problem" and you screw over the Minjas and Amarr for example.
It's a mess

There's no good reasons for it. Seems pretty hysterical, really. Depends. Right now the ball is in the non-cloakers field and they're not happy at all. Fundamentally the cloak is very fine as is in comparison to other game's cloaks. But this is Dust 514. The cloak is almost there for dust 514. Almost. Anyways the cloaks are a blast for me and my usual skirmisher (sidelines) self. Since its introduction been trying my hand at vanguard scouts (front line) and doing toe to toe while dancing like hell in the meat grinder. Appia made a complete fool of me the other day when I tried to deal with her vanguard style tactics. She kept an entire squad from capping the nearest base available and while nobody else seemed to be looking for her (I was) she knew how to pick an entire pack apart that isn't paying attention.
Appia does that to a lot of us

Likely had to do with spending SP in Amarr scout under the messed up cost. It put a lot of people (Mount of people who chose Amarr scout being relative) in negative SP because of the way CCP chose to correct the problem. On a case by case basis they are doing respecs for people who submit a ticket because they do not agree with CCP's choice to place them in negative SP.

For the way I use it, Basic is good.
Still scouting as normal, engaging cloak for exposure when I have no hills, and getting away.
Basic functions great due to limiting use.
I find this most effective when Knifing, because the cloak disengage messes up my stabberyness.
Also find disengage to be cumbersome with charge weapons as a whole. Anyone else?

With the new RoF on the other ScP the Breach became more viable, though it needs a Proto variant desperately.

Can anyone explain to me why scanners are not used anymore
I know the loss of the 360-¦ scan has caused people to move away from it.
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.

The thing I find amusing is that the idea of having a cloak that you could shoot from got nerfed before it hit, despite the fact that it would have been better than the current situation. If it had been blow the timer down when you shoot and can't recloak until recharge hits halfwayGǪ or full. Don't know what the plan was there.
Sure the QQ would have been epic but in retrospect not exactly terrible compared to what we have now. Pre-nerf was a bite in the ass.

Going to preface this post with the fact that I only took out my SG for one match last night, so I have no experience with SG and cloak.
Before the cloak if I SG someone their tanked out ass would just turn and back peddle and shoot me with a Fine Rifle killing me, even though I had the element of surprise, and a better armour to shield damage ratio. Now with a cloak people don't do this?
This also brings a question to mind that has been brewing since the Pyrex Swarm video.
When you strip shields off with a weapon is it glitching out and counting the armour damage at the shield value?
Example: I instadrop someones shield with a ScR charged shot, instead of doing 120% to shields and 80% when it hits armour, could it be doing 120% to both armour and shields? Then when hitting straight armour it is applying the 80%.
The SG would benefit from this miscalculation as an alpha weapon, same with ScR and Ion Pistol when alpha charging. The ScP would be unless noticeable unless you are landing headshots.
Armour focused weapons would see a diminished return, like the swarms who are applying the shield penalty to their damage even on the hit that breaks shield, same goes for the FG, FL, and MD. On the other side the CR and RR would not notice this as you are dealing with a stream of applied damage so the shield/armour transition would be broken up.
Thoughts?
Am I way off base here?

Got to the Letter, hacked it, then the CRU and SD. Spotted a Red Commando coming in hide behind a cylinder. Knifed him as soon as he had his back to me. Two other Reds show up less then ten seconds later. Knife one, then Flaylock the one hacking the CRU. Killed eleven reds stalking and dropping, then they stopped coming
Sniper
I go for a run, no more sniper
Mostly dealt with Sentinels and Commandos. Two Cal scouts came at one point, but they did not find me though it was a challenge to out maneuver them. Same Med frame showed up a couple times.
It was a good game

Before the cloak if I SG someone their tanked out ass would just turn and back peddle and shoot me with a Fine Rifle killing me, even though I had the element of surprise, and a better armour to shield damage ratio. Now with a cloak people don't do this?
This also brings a question to mind that has been brewing since the Pyrex Swarm video.
When you strip shields off with a weapon is it glitching out and counting the armour damage at the shield value?
Example: I instadrop someones shield with a ScR charged shot, instead of doing 120% to shields and 80% when it hits armour, could it be doing 120% to both armour and shields? Then when hitting straight armour it is applying the 80%.
The SG would benefit from this miscalculation as an alpha weapon, same with ScR and Ion Pistol when alpha charging. The ScP would be unless noticeable unless you are landing headshots.
Armour focused weapons would see a diminished return, like the swarms who are applying the shield penalty to their damage even on the hit that breaks shield, same goes for the FG, FL, and MD. On the other side the CR and RR would not notice this as you are dealing with a stream of applied damage so the shield/armour transition would be broken up.
Thoughts?
Am I way off base here? Imagine the first shot being a freebie and your secound being the true first shot.
If this is how it works though, it puts shield effective alpha weapons at an advantage and armour effective weapons at a disadvantage.
Particularly explosive weapons

But as all seemed lost, I got a very good feeling inside. I snuck around enemy lines with my dampened scout. I quickly made a run for a supply depot that was right next to the objective. Without anybody noticing because all the hostiles were at our redline, I took out all their uplinks and spamed the entire room with my links and hives. I grabed my second uplink suit and bolted for the back side of A. I layed all my uplinks in tight corners and had spaces between them. I then switched to my hacking fit and hacked the objective without any threat. As I was hacking, I saw that I was getting team spawn after team spawn. I then told my squad to switch to point defence heavy while I switched to my logi. The hostile team had a scout run to hack the objective but he stood no chance. we then held A the rest of the game and won. I feel like one man can change the course of the battle. 1 tactical move is all it took to pull it off. I hope to see more fights like this in the near future.
Nice
I like doing this though I tay in my scout suit, because all I have is scouts
They are awesome at holding an Objective.
Have had a lot of fun holding Objectives with a Heavy helper before though. Crazy times

Similarly, a gallente or amarr logi with 180 base armor, 3xcomplex(20%) modules, would be able to get up to a "huge" 286 armor total. Suddenly, more people start playing commando and heavies. No more slayer logis. No more brick tanked scouts. Oooo, fun comes back to Dust. who'da thunk?

Really I think the Assaults just need a balance pass (which really should have been done for 1.8) With a reasonable fitting capacity the Assault should be able to fit what it wants into a good selection of slots. Scouts, Sentinels, and Commandos got a buff, putting them in the right place for 1.8 TTK. Logi already were best fitting and slot layout, but the Assault really did not gain a proper retooling that they needed.
So we find ourselves in a place where scouts can easily outperform them, and out tank them. The increased fitting capacity that Assaults got through the Weapon fitting reduction is greatGǪ but they don't gain anything to really spend that bonus space on. Up slots (with corresponding fitting space) and the versatility of all the suits should be pretty damn close to where it should be.
Unfortunately this was done when the suit respec hit so that choices were fully available.

Contrariwise.. I think in theory, suddenly being able to fit proto weapons where you could only fit basic before, is a pretty awesome advantage! ... .. until you realize that some weapons cost 40k *each*. In which case, even if I can fit em, i cant afford to run them, in which case, (assault) Screw you CCP, because you sure screwed me(/assault)

Last night had a horrid time with my Minja NK/FL combo, very discouraged by that. Today I ran a couple matches because i had some time. Not discouraged now, went very positive in ISK/KD/WP all around good times. Stalked out some folks holding a point and just decimated them. Sat and watched them try to find me after Knifing two, before bouncing them off the ceiling with the FL. Then went back to picking them off with the Knife. had one close call with a Heavy who tanked a full Knifing, but FL finished him before he could get me.

Before 1.8
I could sneak up on anyone and shoot them with my SG. many times only to have them turn around and rifle me to the face while back peddling.
Now everybody complains that the insta die to the SGGǪ
Sneak up on someone and blap them with or without cloak, and it is different than 1.7
So is it
people running much less HP than before?
SG hit detection just better ?
SG received a stealth tweak ?
Loss of RoF should have affected how fast someone dies
Shield damage is calculated wrong?
Shear volume of people using the SG generates more tears?
Alpha damage weapons are actually effective in the new TTK?
Still finding that my Shield preferential damage weapons are more effective than my Armour ones.

On my Min fitting is the dominant issue
I have Electronics 5, Engineering 4, Sidearms 5, Explosives 4, Core 5 and my fits cannot compare to what I can do on my gal Account. Where I have similar skills for fitting with the exception of Engineering which is only at 1 because I have not needed to skill it up for fitting anything yet.
As a min I spend more SP just trying to make stuff fit than i do on things to fit. (And I run Flaylock ~ seriously the easiest to fit weapon)
Also the Min and the Amarr scouts are not comparable to the Cal or Gal in utility

I was feeling bad about hitting OZ with an RE last night.
I had just gotten hit by a Cal and Gal Scout at an Objective and laid a trap for them at the CRU
suddenly I see a Gal Scout standing on my RE I go to detonate
Nothing
Again
NothingGǪ realize I am on my cloak not my detonator
Switch to detonator and Gal is now Right in front of me
I thought that it was the pair coming at me again
Toss RE leap back and detonate
See that Gal has Knives out
It was OZ
Wish i had realized it sooner because it could have been a Knife fight.
And I never get to have those any more.
To many unrecognizable scouts out and about, it's hard to make a call on who will fight you. And i just made the line on that worse. Last time I ran into a scout who wanted a Knife fight a Tank rolled up and blasted me in the middle of it.
The Minja did attack her "friendly" HAV to show her displeasure.
the majority of Knife fights in 1.8 have just resulted in someone pulling out a weapon and shooting me
So it is getting harder to duel.
And now I contributed to that a little

I don't really expect knife fights, they happen if they happen. If someone has Knives out, I figure they may be up for a Knife fight, but plenty of people are not.
Lots of scouts didn't run Knives before 1.8, and now that we have an influx of scouts it's probably even less.
Just observation on Knifers in 1.8
I've yet to see an Amarr scout run Knives (and I do see a few Amarr Scouts)
Only one Cal Scout have I seen run Knives (See a lot of Cal Scouts though)

I know what kind of scout don't have those right, lol the same thing i think of scouts that don't have precision, range, dampening to 5
So many ways to actually build a suit, one of the things that keeps me playing this game.
I run so much EWAR on my Gal
My Min is more biopics focused, not to say I don't have my EWAR skilled up as much as possible.
But they run very different styles, that's why I did separate characters for them, and to see how skilling up the suits went. Once you have so many skills up it's hard to say what the progression would actually be like from scratch. I like having that sense of development to my suits.
That being said after the Sidearm SP is deployed I will start skilling Cal scout on my Gal account to see what it is like without going through the full development. (I think they are similar enough that it won't be as different as Min from Gal.

sadly, I run knives very very rarely myself now. Previously, I used to run ScrP+knives. but now I run cloak. which means shotgun. which means I also need some kind of ranged backup usually. So, SG+boltP for most fits. I still keep a cloak+SG+knives fit, for when I plan to go clean up a rooftop on the QT. ... or just when I feel like I want to... make a point to someone in particular. *cough*
Finding I use pistols more than before, but I still run Knives and ScP, because I love it.
Working on my Ion Pistol to replace my ScP on some fits, because i find it fun.

Did some testing of the jump on the Amarr suit.
It can get everywhere that my Gal scout can get, but more easily. Not because it jumps better, but because I can get to where I need to be with enough Stamina to make the jumps.
For example the rail-beam-beam-roof jump in the Facility, is done way quicker with the Amarr than the Gal, due to having a lot more stamina on arrival, and recovery between jumps. Also they can clear a few of my long jump gaps just as easily as the Spook, not sure if I land any further but they are not noticeably shorter on the jump.

They are easy to fit and make some nice builds, without having to invest a lot of SP.
Spouse has run Heavy for awhile, and she added Amarr scout to her suit list. Even with 3 Electronics and 3 Engineering it's not hard to fit what you want on their and make a durable fit. Legacy of her Heavy is a Armour Upgrades to 5 so she has a pile of HP no matter what, leaving a lot of room for EWAR in the slots and solid weapon selection even high fitting cost items like the ScR.

- Lower RoF than the Gal SG?
Combat SG
- Armour/Shield profile as projectile
- More pellets than Gal, bigger scatter?
- Higher alpha?

I just find it interesting that the jump distance seems to equal, it is only a .20 difference in speed. other than that running and jumping in game play works out better than the Gal scout, not a surprise with the Stamina base and bonus.
Most of us were saying that about the slots and Fitting ability during the lead up to 1.8 when the shouting was happening.

Something I have noticed since 1.8
When you go about sabotaging someones LAV, you can now place RE inside the LAV seating compartment.
This did not used to be the case.
What this means is you can (and I do ) place one in the driver seat and one in the passenger seat. Destroys LAV kills everybody involved, and is not accidentally spotted while the Red waddles up to the LAV.

Seriously, you'd think that a seasoned scout could use an AR and a shotgun to at least a level of mediocrity, right? Well, not so much for me.
I'd rather face a GEK user using my militia pistol than have to go up against him with a GEK of my own.
I actually have trouble with most of the light weapons as well.
I am competent with the CR because you can use it in a controlled fire way. Shotgun i find good because again it's controlled fire, I don't spastically fire as I find some folks do (I think these are the folks who are not used to the SG, and still have a fair scatter because they are not skilled into them deep)
Full auto weapons tend to mess me up, though I find the burst or breach variants to be easier to use.

Not all the Heavies are tanked right out, which means a lot of them can be Knifed down on a charge. The neutral damage type makes a huge difference as well.

I only fit them on my Proto Minja, and it does make a difference. Though not a substantial difference from Enhanced to Complex, I do get back in a fight quick before they even no I retreated. Fall back behind corner, sprint for the flank around and full before they know it, but I am coupling them with Energizer to make me full.
I imagine they would be much better on Min and Cal Heavies.

The ScP just about outranges any dangerous HMG fire these days; you just gotta be real careful on that gap closing even just a tiny bit.
I agree
You can even engage if you have enough cover to hit and hide. I did this last night to some success. But the engagement started with me landing two head shots and having to retreat. Fatboy's shields were back up before i could get at him again, and it was a real challenge to get him back down, fortunately he was not reping armour at a high rate. It was a four minute tense engagement though. Luckily he was defending a far objective alone so neither of us had back up.

The only time I'll engage a heavy with the ScP these days is if i have a good piece of cover between us to work around. So generally I'll be closer to 20m than 40 so they show on my more modest Minmatar scan range. Pretty much instant death if someone else turns up, but I'll win 4 out of 5 as long as my ammo holds out.
Still I find the best way to take out the Honey Glazed Suits is with my Knives
ScP still works, but as you say it is a very tactical situation.

Django Quik wrote:And finally, to cap off my morning commute of Barbershop posts, had the following idea in another thread about passive scanning...
Scan profile should affect the distance at which you can be scanned. E.g. each db should add a meter to the range at which you can be passively scanned.
A 200db would be able to be scanned by someone with 50db precision at 150m.
A 50db assault could be scanned by a 20db scout at 30m.
A 35db scout would only be scannable by players with precision less than 35db, like currently.
However modules and skills would still play a part. So if you have range amps fitted or precision mods (these effectively become the same thing) and relevant skills, you can scan further.
A 35db scout might then be scannable at 10m by an ewar skilled logi running precision mods. It's not much but it's better than the current situation for non-scouts and with the right set ups, you'd be able to push your suits to the extent of being able to do what ewar you want to. (ewar mods will likely need some changes to make this possible).
What does ye all thinks?
It would be interesting, though as you say an overhaul of EWAR would be needed (range amps/precision enhancers) not to mention Cal Gal scout bonusesGǪ
Not sure if it would ever fly with CCP, but i do see a lot of merit here.

Find RE and cloak to be the single most effective AV against HAVs and LAVs, Swarms and PLC for ADS and DS.

AV Nades (boost damage vs HAV, and LAV damage)
RE (HAV, and Matadoring LAVs)

Thinking I may put Proxies in my second EQ slot just to round it out.
I find that if I set Proxies in certain areas ( near Objectives mostly) people tend to roll up to the same paces, then I get the occasional WP boost and a few +50s randomly letting me know if someone is going for an Objective. Place them a hood length away from the wall, LAVs zip in so fast they don't get the warning and BOOM
That spot where the CRU used to be in the small sockets, or the door lot in the "parking lot" at B on Fractured Road are prime places for accidental kills and bonus WP

I'm thinking a full AV fit, takin advantage of a complex Kin Cat and cloak (Damp and extender too)I can expect to get into a position to just spam swarms and AV grenades at close/mid range before the tank can react - the range also means I can keep up the pressure, or kill tanks fleeing other threats. Actually, typing that, I've realised I do the same thing with infantry (with my scout, they may as well be tanks too...).
Solo, Blaster Tanks/Dropships I have to just harass and keep occupied (with STD gear at least they rep too fast to finish). I'm starting to think if I had just another scout in a similar STD fit, we could cleanse the field of heavy armour.
EDIT: You've just reminded me to skill demolitions.
RE Flux is virtually all of my suits, It's an art for me and the cloak has only made it easier to get HAVs
I have few problems dropping a few HAVs a night and LAVs are easy pickings. The above fits come out when an ADS is camping an area, or being problematic, or when the vehicle spam hits overload.
Get that Demo up, it really helps because it counts for explosives and Grenade slot two to three times the savings depending on the fit

Similar to your fit but no cloak, I take REs and a nano hive instead. Concealment normally isn't an issue, but ammo is for the Swarms, REs and grenades. And ScP now that I think about it...
If I've got the right terrain to work with I can keep 2 or 3 tanks occupied looking for me, but rarely get any kills from it.
Tanks tend to come back even if you kill them, just the RE Flux situation will take care of enough to be useful though.
ADS pilots is where i need the Light Slot AV (though I have gotten a couple ADS with the Flaylock, it was more luck at them crashing through overcompensation) Fortunately they tend to hide at the slightest hint of resistance, also once people see an ADS take infantry damage they clamour to get the kill shot, so the Swarms come out everywhere

Might try a swarm scout for a bit. Clack, kincats and just race around. Might need 2 of us.
Swarms a shyte
But they scare off ADS pilots who actually have a financial risk to the rig they are flying.

The clack (are we not calling it that anymore?) is for evading infantry and vehicles who might follow the trail looking for an easy kill. Will need a decent side arm as well. Probably go with SMG.
Pre 1.7 my AV fit was a LAV and forge doing a similar thing of chasing vehicles all over the map. But now thats too visible.
That WP thing is interesting. I wonder how much you can make a match just doing that. Spent a whole skirmish map shooting a Maddy with 2 reps 1 hardener. Each clip gave me 75 WPs. Had proto nanhives. went 2 kills 3 deaths. The kills were from an LAV. The deaths were because a Large Blaster Turret has longer range than Swarm Launcher. Got over 5k WPs Even with rapid reload lvl 3 and using my commando suit, the shields on the Madrugar were back up to full by the time I finished reloading, locked on, and launched the next volley.
Time between shots really hinders AV.
Same applies to PLC reload, Forge charge times. Even maxed out it's just not fast enough, multiple people makes a difference, but even then it on;y takes a second to zip away and recall

I always find that interesting in polls, (almost all contain this little trick of wording) it actually serves a purpose though. It tells you a few things about the respondents, such as negative/positive outlook, truthfulness, how seriously the poll is taken, gives an indicator for margin of error.

I played since the announcement, I think it will be awhile before CCP gets Legion together and I can still have fun for now. Long term goals have somewhat gone off track.
Different matches though, you run into less scouts... it's a different meta. Also encounter a few people burning through Officer gear.
I did manage to get one NK kill on mustard on my Minja, which is actually accomplishing one of my long term goals. Sadly it was one of only two kills in the match for me. Mustard was a slashfest however. I love seeing him work

Even if they transfer enough stuff to make it "worth while" I don;t trust the info they put out. Legion info and PR looks good, but i still remember what my DUST Beta and Beta promises looked like and that never really happened. What reason is their to believe Legion would be different?

I haven't played for about a week and recently got a PS4 on Saturday.
The transition from Dust to Warframe and Battlefield 4 isn't too bad.
The controller sensitivity is a big difference.
I had it on 100 for Dust, but have it on 15 for BF4.
Conquest is similar to Skirmish, but way more epic.
Anyways, I might play Dust if they announce a new and interesting event. o7
New Dev, who is "Dust focused" is being introduced this week, so news on events and such will probably come with that.

However, engineering V is an absolute must for a minja scout. The suit is very low on pg to begin with and every bit you can get is very important. Roger. I guess I'll be going back and forth from Minja to Engineering, whichever's less SP for the next level (after Minja 3, which is actually 100k higher right now). Will prolly splurge on Adv Knives in between somewhere, too. Stabbed an Adv Amarr heavy in the back of the head with standard knives on full charge once, then had to dance around him and stab him uncharged three more times. One of my most satisfying kills to date. Would be nice to have better knives...

Just kinda feeling out where I need the most work as far as "getting good". I already know I need to work on my approach and probably increase profile dampening skill (peeps seem to turn around at just the last second when I'm creeping up on 'em a little too often for my tastes). 8.2m sp and so many skills I still need to train. The weekly bonus SP cap makes this game take longer to skill into a specialty than Eve, even.
Actually I pistol whipped him with my Ion Pistol R3 style
But when it comes to Knifing I find if I've got the charged hit in first it's a quick dice after that to take most suits down. But My Gal Spook has Ish NK and proficiency 3 so tanked heavies are just Ham to carve with that damage arc. My Minja has suit bonus Ish NK and prof 2, I can even carve down with the ZN if i run an Enh Damage mod (which I often do because I run dual Sidearms so more bang for the fitting cost) But I am crazy because it's Nova Knife/Flaylock.
What I did long ago to get practice with Knives was run no other weapon on my suitGǪ We had no cloaks and Tacnet gave you away anytime you were near an installation, it forced me to be patient, quick, and maneuver. I suggest playing around with your controller sensitivity as well, generally Higher is better for Knifing. I have mine at 80 if i remember right. Speed is your friend, run someone down and Raptor Leap towards your target. Charge when you get in the air, no slowdown and you get a hell of a hit if you nail em with both blades.
When carving up a fat piggy, dance and stay close, round their firing arc and keep tapping. When you have your NK skill and Minja up in level you will drop them very quickly.
What time are you usually on? I hit about 5 ish Eve time, we could put together a Knife squad (warning I rarely if ever run a mic, kids sleep pretty close to where I play.)
Anything J0lly, Moody, Mollerz, or Mustard says overrides any Knifing advice I give

Jaceon Pale-eye wrote:Llast 326 wrote: Charge when you get in the air, no slowdown Holy... I hadn't thought of that. The damage value in the knives' attributes - is that with or without charge? Is there a resource/page somewhere that gives the info on damage difference with or without charge? For that matter, anyone know the uncharged damage of the Charge rifle (or is the 315 the uncharged damage as well?) As for play time, I'm out of work right now so I get on at some pretty erratic times. Anywhere after 5pm EST (which I think is 21:00 Eve time), sometimes I'm on pretty late, like early morning Eve time up until downtime. If I should see you in that Scouts United channel, I'll definitely holla! When it's late night for me, my gf is sleeping a few feet away so I avoid the mic as well, but I use her bluetooth keyboard to communicate between matches. I run with TrueXeroz in D-UNI any chance I get, and he's never complained when I'm not verbally active but still managing to keep up with the squad so I guess I'm not too bad in that regard (you should hear that guy sometimes when he gets aggravated :p )
Damge value of the Knives is single blade no charge, so if you connect with both blades it's double. Full Charge is at least double damage (I recall Mustard saying 2.3 or something like that) Both blades and a full charge with tricked out SP investment puts you around 1400 damage I believe. Worth noting that Nova Knives are pure damage with no reduction vs Shield or Armour and no Sentinel resistance applies to them.
I am not the number scout though (Haer or Appia probably have calculations or can do them in their heads for exactly what NK do for damage) I just know where to stick the pointy end
I'll keep an eye out for you in Scouts United as well. I am often on my Minja alt KelcGǪ which has turned into my main, but I have the channels on both accounts.

Just curious, do you find yourself using the shotgun or the knives more for CQC? I've used the shotgun twice and decided it wasn't my thing, so 2/3 of my fits have a knife instead. Unless you're crazy good with it, the nova knife is very situational, but damn is it effective when you get the chance. Detials on knife damage below. Listed damage is per-blade, and you swing twice (once with each hand) per attack animation. Charged damage is 2.5 on base damage, per knife. So with no additional skills or mods. Standard normal - 90 per knife/180 if both hit charged - 225 per knife/450 if both hit Advanced normal - 150 per knife/300 if both hit charged - 375 per knife/750 if both hit Proto normal - 200 per knife/400 if both hit charged - 500 per knife/1000 if both hit Throw in the bonus from the Minmatar scout and the proficiency skill, you can hit over 1400 damage for a charged hit from both knives... So with full skills you should be able to sink all scouts and mediums with a single charged shot, and heavies with a chraged shot plus a normal swing. Hit detection non-withstanding. And just a word of advice, knifing ain't easy, so don't get discouraged. Target hackers and stationary targets to start with, and work your way up the food chain. Here's some basics tips from a friendly whiskey fuelled merc: Knifing 101

Reds went on Proto rampage and I saw a few tanked out GalsGǪ some Proto Heavies (Mando and Sents)
Said **** this time to stab
Used my cloak to pick my targets and only killed the Proto suits
Several times I literally ran through a group of starter fits to Knife a Proto Heavy, and slipped away in the confusion of the newbros.
The second match i made a personal challenge to cause no newbro collateral damage, it was actually very fun to do.
I think one of them even understood what I was doing. I killed a Proto in front of him, and he switched to a hive and crouched in front of meGǪ and sat there until I ran off.

Using the Tac AR as my quasi Urban Sniper Rifle, but mostly relying on the Ion for my kills. Bust out the Tac to take down unsuspecting targets of opportunity. Works fairly well on many maps. Tac damage is somewhat lacking in comparison to using the ScR in the same way.

IWS is also an adopted scout for his work to keep scouts viable when we received our buff to be useful. He is not full time scout but uses all roles to remain adaptable. He has good ideas and bad ideas just like the rest of us.
Genuinely cares about the state of the game, though his posts sometimes attract hate it's often due to his delivery.

Jaceon Pale-eye wrote:Bayeth Mal wrote:While I'm trying to stay relatively neutral, despite it impacting my suit directly, I'll be watching Alpha very closely and assess success or failure when it drops.
As, to be honest, it's what I'll be basing my decision whether I stay in Dust (or even bother going to Legion for that matter).
Anybody else feel this way? Yes and no. My main is Havohej Anyone with an Eve-O account can look him up and see that I've been playing that game since 2007. I feel I kinda know CCP because of this. Rattati isn't a unique thing, as far as CCP devs engaging directly with the community and trying to figure out their game and what it needs. CCP devs are notorious for not knowing what players know about their spaceship game, and now their shooter as well. They have a certain meta in mind when they design a suit or ship or weapon or module, and then we do the theorycrafting and come up with **** they never intended, and they don't know what to do about it so they don't change anything until the QQ of the vocal minority on their forums reaches critical mass. They may break us with Alpha. It's a distinct possibility. I say us meaning scouts in general. Because they want to nerf the shotgun scout, they're going way far with it. Fortunately, it looks like the latest iteration of Alpha is closer to the mark and may not actually destroy our role as we know it to be. And ****, I'm just scratching the surface of learning the role to begin with. But if they DO break us, they will at the same time inadvertently make something else overpowered. And they'll nerf that, and we'll take the role we adapt into Alpha through to Hotfix Bravo and we'll be something like 'okay' again. IVVS blew a lot of wind about numbers not being the thing that should determine advantage. But you know what? In the real world, every single video game must come down to numbers, because that's all any of it is. When they nerf one set of numbers, another set of numbers must inevitably step to the fore. Because we don't have the sort of technology that would really, truly let player skill be the be-all, end-all. "It's all a game of this or that, now versus then. 'Better off' against 'worse for wear'." In other words, video game balance is a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Nerf Bat. Even Blizzard, the king of the MMO, has not found a way out of this trap. So yes... Alpha will determine some things for me. Mainly, whether I spent money on Aurum for boosters or not. It won't determine whether I keep playing, though. I will. Just like I kept playing Eve after I skilled into nano-HACs only for the nano-nerf to land two weeks later. Months of skill training... suddenly marginalized. Fortunately, I was already specced into the meta that rose to the fore after that (I was an assault ship pilot before assault ships were cool). I'll keep playing Dust until the servers are so empty it's not possible to even get a decent match going. If that happens, I'll just be playing Eve. Two or three years from now, we'll be in Legion Beta saying "We were scouts before scouting was cool." With our proto knives and ACRs and shotguns and our Complex Damps and our proto REs. And who knows, maybe we'll even be carrying bloody mass drivers like a bunch of 200 eHP hipsters. But we'll be there, because nobody else will present us with a shooter possessed of anywhere near the complexity of this one. And because, even though they're ******* drunk college kids at heart, they do genuinely give a **** about putting out the best games in a niche they've created. They do listen and at least try to give us what we seem to want. At the end of the day, given that my chosen way to waste my time and money as a 31 year old male is vidya games (instead bars and booze and hookers and blow), that's good enough for me. Because like Mayo in "An Officer and a Gentleman", I got no place else to go. (Until/unless somebody DOES come along offering a better spaceship game and/or a better, more complex shooter... you've been warned, CCP).
He's one of us already

I'd ask them in their respective threads, so one response won't unintentionally influence / bias the next. If responses are in direct conflict, we could post a debate thread and invite the parties at odds. Debates are fun and fluff-free; this could be a chance to lay groundwork for a good fight later :-) What do you think?
Well it has no "right answer" as it's a definition to an abstract concept, but the answer is fundamental to how each candidate determines approach so it is unlikely to cause a fight.
I do agree that individual threads are the best place to avoid influencing responses. Excellent point.

Questions are good, and sometimes general questions which are asked to each of us are even better than the specific ones. Gives us a chance to get to know each other as well as state our own views. After all you can't 'lone wolf' an effective CPM term. So no reason to feel guilty IMO 0.02 ISK Cross EDIT: Responded to your question btw
I like your response.
We have a similar view on community.
The idea behind the question was to get a feel for how we define this term. It is an important one to the position, and each of us have a definition for what it is, though we may not all have it defined in words, we recognize what is similar to our own definitions.
So by defining this term everyone can see what Community means to each CPM candidate and feel out which matches to them. Or not if they don't care

As said in the other thread, politics is the art of compromise. Advocating one thing does not necessary mean that I don't want sacrifices to come from other areas.
At this stage in the game, what need have we for politics and promises? Before I vote, there will be no question as to whether or not my Candidate can (1) prioritize problems, (2) make tough decisions and (3) exercise sound judgment. You have to remember that, even after elected, a candidate - well, representative at that point - needs to be able to act in a professional manner and work with the other six representatives and CCP. A lot of times there will be disagreements about proposals because it's very, very rare that there are unanimous, mutual decisions made within the community (which is why candidates that say they will "represent everyone" will always be making disillusioned promises). To that end, having an ability to know how to compromise to get what you want is a great thing to have or you'll just be stubbornly butting heads with everyone for an eternity.
I think "exercise sound judgement" is part of the ability to compromise, though sometimes the decision to not compromise is necessary, rarely though.
Aeon would you characterize your work in groups as taking a working with approach or as an assertive approach, or flexibly in between the two?
For example: how would you approach a situation where the majority of feedback from a number of sources conflicts with the direction your colleagues and or CCP is discussing?
(This is open to all CPM candidates who come in the shop)

SW: Toxin SMG
HI: Cmp Damage Amp (x2)
LO: Cmp KinCat (x2), Cmp Dampener (x2)
GR: Adv Flux
EQ: Std RE, Adv Cloak
Applications (Ambush)
Dropship - Stalk indefinitely; avoid hostile infantry. Wait for a friendly to hit it with Forge Gun or Rail Turret. Fire 2-3 volleys; get +75; chase away bird. Do not fire at bird until someone has engaged it, lest it trace your AV origin and prioritize killing you ... generally, with one missile (249 HP).
HAV - Stalk until HAV has come to complete rest beyond the range of infantry support. Wait for HAV to begin firing sequence. Place REs (generally one, sometimes two) until tank begins to move. Flux tank. Pop REs. Fire swarms as it retreats. Low odds of a kill; high odds of +75; even odds of getting blasted.
Infantry-supported HAV - Do not engage.
Dual HAVs - Do not engage.
HAV+ADS - Do not engage.
Expectations (Ambush)
If you're lucky, your "prey" will farm fewer kills due to your having chased it away from friendlies all match. Even so, your "prey", more likely than not, will still go 10/0 and will still make money. You, on the other hand, should budget to lose 300,000 to 500,000 Isk per match. Invariably, your "prey" will kill you once or twice, you'll be spotted by hostile infantry or you'll be sniped while volleying swarms.
Could not have put it better myself
I don't even Run the AV most of the time, but keep my RE/Flux as a standard on most fits. This way I can dal with the Infantry at my full capacity and be just as effective against the Ground Armour. Switch to AV for the Birds.
Though some times I will relentlessly go on HAV Hunts, if they are spammed or certain names are floating over top of them

I am already liking the new xcode, and am liking swift far more than objective-c. swift is kind of a slippery slope, because developing solely in swift is a good way to only have your products on apple devices. That's not too big of an issue right now. I was glad to see Unity was already working with apple on utilizing Metal. Metal is going to be awesome for game development on mobile devices... metal is basically a graphics/shading language like openGL.. thankfully, since unity is adopting it, I won't have to go under the hood :D At least not until I have issues with it. There's also sprite kits/scenes.. basically take a 2D scrolling/candy suck game and you can easily dev it. but swift is going to be a big deal.
I think i might need to go with swift, have no idea why i was unaware of Metal. But this is good news to me.
Looks like I will have time to do some "hobby" work while I am at work and Metal will actually be something I could use.

I'll have a chat with CCP Ratatti and we can some numbers. That might actually work better, not to mention it would be closer to the Amarr and Minmatar scouts which also have module/weapon efficacy bonuses as well. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2194274#post2194274 Not sure where they're going with this. Or why. GalScouts getting better damp bonuses via modules won't solve anything. Presently, I have to run two damps on my Gal to beat competitive scans. If I could get away with one, nothing would prevent me from doing so, then stacking 3 plates. It'd be Invisible Monster allover again.
Unless, what they're trying to say is that the GalScout nerf was insufficient. Its too early to tell whether or not that's the case, but I've observed a decline in their prevalence. Godin is moaning about a brick-tanked GalScouts. Again, fix Assault Frames and solve the problem. These should be the go-to slayer suit. Not the GalScout + Brick. Not the Heavy + Fine Rifle.

If it were not for the word "Viable" what you are describing is the Minja.
Cal scout would actually be a good suit for this kind of play as little can sneak past you. Even though you cannot hide from another Cal scout you at least will see them coming as well. This allows you to fit Kinz or range extenders (I would go one of each at Proto) Cal has the fitting capacity to work with that the Minja cannot match.
Gal can do it as well as the Cal, but at the negative intel level as opposed to positive intel. (though if you put two complex Precision Enhancers in i think you get to see everybody but Gal scoutsGǪ)
Amarr would work well because you have all the slots you need to adapt to whatever scout situation you need.

I don't know how that goes over in this crowd, many of us chose the lowest eHP suits and that had speed that was ineffective for ten + months. Aim Assist, and Bullet Slowdown negated speed, but we had stealthGǪ except every installation gave away our position, and 360-¦ Active Scanner spam negated that. A scout suit does not function without a huge SP investment either, particularly Min Scout, as it requires a lot of SP investment just to be able to fit modules as needed. Admittedly since 1.8 that got better if you don't fit a cloak.
We stuck that out, forged a strong community and honestly in my opinion are weather the worst storm yet being FOTM. Most of us just want a decent balance in the game, just like you. Of course opinions on balance differ for a multitude of reasons. You'll find a few of us that prefer to be slightly UP because we prefer the reward of the challenge above all else.

Going to toss a hypothetical battle at you
Assume teams on Coms
Team A
Comprised of anything you want and One Cal scout per squad
Team B
Comprised of same as Team A, but with Minja and no Cal scouts.
Hows that going to go?
Really I would like to just see them add an Active Dampener. Make it a Cloak Variant, with Dampening bonus tiered and no Invisibility. Let us have limited opportunity to Damp regardless of suit.

Double Posting Like a Kaiser (I'm old school)
The Minja currently sits in a state where we were with Scanner Spam
We are currently facing 360-¦ scans that we reasonably cannot beat.
Sound familiar?
Couple differences though, like no warning that the Cal scout is about, and less chance of seeing them on TAC than of seeing the Med Frames of dubious origin who packed those scanners.
Constant Active time with no downtime (Okay with the cool down cycle and active time of Scanner 514 it was pretty much permanent as well).

Core Dampener Cloak
Because I think it should be a Minmatar adaptation of the Cloak
While offering an effective blocking of electronic signature it does not reduce the users visibility.
Basic Core Dampener Cloak - 10% reduction to Profile for 10 Seconds
Advanced Core Dampener Cloak - 15% reduction to Profile for 15 Seconds
Proto Core Dampener Cloak - 25% reduction to Profile for 20 Seconds
Fitting cost should be lower than the Cloak. It and as an active piece of equipment could not be active at the same time as the Invisibility cloak, leaving the choice as what to run or what to activate if you chose to fit both.

All the good Scout stuff is in the lows ... ewar, codebreakers, biotics, cpu/pg chips.

Thoughts?

68PG for four Complex Kinz and a Ish NKGǪ that leaves 9 pg for everything elseGǪ with maxed out Engineering
Problem with the Min is not slot layout. Everything that the suit is encouraged to use is not cost effective on the suit. The Mods that are cost effective don't play to the strengths and are done better by the suits that are designed for those strengths.
PG needs a buff
EWAR needs to not function on static numbers but fluctuating numbers.
Imagine if instead of dampeners we had Profile Stabilizers that lessened the fluctuation of your Profile on actionsGǪ

While I'm pleased as a plasma rifle lover for the AR buffs I'm concerned that this is too much too quickly. The TAR DPS will be mostly paper DPS and it won't be quite as bad as Uprising 1.0 but it's going to be an incredibly nasty weapon for sure and that kind of huge change concerns me.
As you say it is paper DPS rather than in game practical DPS. I think the heavy kick of the TAR will keep it in line for making those shots count, but we'll see.

I'm simply balking at the proposed figures.
Numbers like these scream: "Wolfman, Remnant, QA: You guys weren't even close!"
I'd like to think they were close; so big numbers like these make me nervous.
Perhaps I can allay some nervousness about the TAR. If ROF is not increased it is a semi auto rifle like the ScR but without the spam abilityGǪ looks like they are bringing the shot damage in line with the charge shot from the SCR. The kick even with operation 5 is still very high on the TAC, this should keep the TAR in line as reasonable.
Right now using an Advanced ScR with one Damage mod I can charge shot someone in the head results:
Light/Militia = Dead
Tanked Lights/Meds = one or two spam shots to kill after Charged Shot. (Hipfire and with no readjustment of aim, just drop out of ADS)
Tanked Logi/Heavies = Two spam shots, pause half charge. Armour tanked heavies often require a switch to Sidearm to avoid overheat)
Proto TAR with Two Damage Mods
Light/Militia = One headshot and often a second body shot to finish
Tanked Light/Militia = about the same as above
Tanked Logi/Heavy = The only Heavy I have taken out with the TAR was three headshots but this is limited experience on them. (usually i don't engage Heavies with the TAR not worth giving away my position better off dropping a RE on them)

Edit: Of course if they are as limiting as the Overheat remains to be seen at that DPS. Don;t get me wrong if it ends up being a rapid fire death machine I will be front and centre on curbing it. You're quite right - you can't quite rapid fire the TAR with the same ease that you can the ScR - but it's quite possible to fire it fairly quickly nonetheless. Maybe it'd be OP with that damage. Maybe not. I think the safe thing to do is take it in increments - instead of a straight 80% buff, a 40% buff in Bravo then if it still needs it another buff in Charlie, for example. I don't think it's in such a dire state that it needs something so massive as an 80% buff, though. I had a few goes with it this evening, generally pulled 20+ a round, so it's hardly so unusable that it needs almost twice the damage. I doubt an 80% TAR buff would actually be just a straight damage buff, though. I imagine it'd have at least part of it applied to the RoF.
Good points Arkena. It would be better to go slow, and I am looking at this as a straight damage buff. Without a RoF increase (possibly a decrease) or touching the kick i think it could be reasonable as a short range precision strike weapon, which is what I would like to see. It has potential as the Quickscope go to rifle, but my thoughts on where this takes the TAC may not be what they are getting at.
Limited RoF, decrease in clip, and quick ADS speed would be good for designing it reasonably, but it will need some stopping power which it currently lacks. This proposal had my hopes up in that respect, but as alwaysGǪ we waitGǪ we seeGǪ we accept the failure of CCP designGǪ then lobby for months

And as for vehicles being easier to pick up on scansGǪ it's in Beta. Though the wording is "increase to vehicle profile" Which i don't think is the actual problem. It seems more related to where the profile is measured from, makes vehicles only show up when the driver gets in range not the vehicle.

Range normalizationGǪ i wonder why they went this route? I have no feelings one way or the other on it just curious.
Tossed some thoughts in on the PG for Minja (including the thing that bugged me about the Amarr slot changes, not that I think they should be a slot lower.)
Amarr design was always one slot lower, and slower suits.
Minmatar design is lowest eHP and lowest fitting cost.
They dropped the slot penalty, which is good because the Amarr scout would have truly sucked.
Minmatar did not get adjusted

So this is some of the ideas that I have seen that I think are feasible and may work well together. I am not digging back through stuff o cite or credit the brilliant folk who come up with these ideas but you know who you are and be proud If one of your ideas is not here it's not necessarily because it is bad (though it might be) it's because It did not fit within the concept, or i forgot about it.
Always feedback, tell me I am an idiot (yes Appia I know )
*Assume the balance numbers that Appia and Haerr have/are working are applied.
Preface - I believe that Precision and Dampening are the most powerful tools that scouts have and many of the problems we face revolve around these bonuses. For this reason I feel that the Gal and Cal scouts should only have one bonus while the Min and Amarr scouts can have two bonuses as a balance factor.
Gal Scout - Dampening bonus as per Math folks (Tied to Module use)
The Gal scout has enough intrinsic bonuses to not warrant the range bonus, Dampening itself is one of the most potent bonuses Scouts can have, couple this with a fitting capacity that most easily accommodates the Proto Cloak and Gal is in a good place still.
Cal Scout - Precision bonus as per Math folks (tied to Module use)
Without the range bonus the Precision becomes more balanced, while the ability to increase range can be achieved through modules. Shared scans can likely remain without being a shutdown to all scouts, as every scout would have a viable way to counter Precision, though not without making sacrifices in fitting choice.
Amarr Scout - Stamina bonus as is now (not tied to Module bonus), Range Amplification bonus (tied to Module use)
The reason for not requiring the Stamina bonus to be tied to Module use is that really the Amarr does not need a Jar to function, and keeps it's fitting versatility this way. Fitting versatility is one of the strengths of the Amarr suit that is overlooked, I do not want to inadvertently nerf this aspect. The Range bonus gives an EWAR Bonus to the Amarr scout, something that many feel it is lacking. This also plays to the group function of the Amarr, and helps it support it's team.
Min scout - Hacking Bonus (tied to Codebreaker?), Nova Knife Bonus (Obviously tied to Nova Knife use)
The question of 'if the Hacking bonus needs to be tied to the Codebreaker for the Min' arises because the NK bonus already requires a specific fitting requirement to be usefulGǪ so input? The other problem the Min faces is the ability to fit what it needs, hence the calls for a PG buff. This does not need to be a huge buff in PG, but the strengths of the Min suit requires more high PG items, coupled with the slot layout this creates a PG deficit that needs addressing. I suggest the same PG as the Cal scout, which would be a 2/3/4 for Basic/Adv/Proto.
I think this would place all scouts in a good place internally (Scouts to Scouts), But i would appreciate and remind us to look at how this would be Externally (Scouts to Everything else)

They can remove the damp bonus from cloak, so they could add one to a Variant, right?
Theoretically they could remove the invisibility (set to zero) on said Variant.
They could adjust the active time on the Variant

I like how you're thinking, but I don't know if this part is possible. Don't think that there's a server-side value dedicated to shimmer intensity; shimmer presents as off/on then high/low; shimmer does present along lines of gradation. Could be wrong though ...
I know I debated this point in my head beforeGǪ
It really depends on the way it is coded. I think it's possible as a hot fix, because i believe the shimmer is an applied texture that can be ignored with a command line. Also the Cloak bug where activation did not happen after switching suits at a Supply Depot indicates to me that it is possible to accomplish, and if i recall correctly that was fixed in an Hot Fix.

OK ... pick this apart, you devious Bastards.

I know, I know ... the Gal and Cal only have one racial bonus and everyone else has two. Question 1) Is everyone OK with the above structure? If not, please elaborate. Question 2) Do the Gal and Cal need a second racial bonus? If so, what should be?
1. I think I am okay with the above structure, though Min still need a PG boost especially if they have to fit a Codebreaker for the bonus to apply. Amarr become solidified as a Combat scoutGǪ not sure how that will go over with the A-Walls
2. Okay with single bonus to Cal and GalGǪ the synergy of Range and Precision on the Cal is to high compared to other suits.
Little less sure of the single bonus on Gal, Damp is a powerful bonus, Range is alsoGǪ but not equal to Damp. Still I think it is powerful enough to warrant single bonus.

The one we have I have found to be of less and less use on my Minja. For the Amarr a cloak bonus could work because it is a very cloak friendly suit through Fitting capacity. I think Appia pointed out that it is the easiest to fit for new scouts.

And you should get rid of that signature; its awful.
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.
And that is how you pitch an idea Gav

It was more based on muscle memory. All the frames had different turn speeds. Not just heavy. I would swap between all three frames in chrome and it was very frustrating to swap. Thats the only issue I see with changing the speed caps. Its really difficult to relearn how to aim. Go from 100 sensitivity down to 20 in a single game and notice how difficult it gets.
Having a single frame turn slower like a heavy probably wouldnt be too bad as long as dispersion was increased on the HMG. ITs still way too accurate. You don't need fine aiming if you have an HMG with decent dispersion as well as slow turn speed. You don't need to be accurate, aka have fine turning like you would with a rifle. Would make heavys utilize their own weapons more as well. Could be beneficial overall.
I don't know that I agree. In my mind, equivalent rotation speeds between a 250HP character and a 1,500HP can't be justified, even "its difficult for a merc to adapt when he switches between frames."Pirouetting Heavies fly in the face of reason, balance, physics and llastronomy :-)

I got some okay footage by using a tripod camera in front of the screen but I still can't tell if there's a difference.
This is a Mk.0 scout with three kincats vs a Gk.0 sentinel with 4 complex plates.
Also, this is sensitivity 60. I'm not really sure what the complaint could possibly be about heavies turning slowly in any situation. I also think that nerfing turn speed isn't really going to do much, as you can just boost the sensitivity.
On the plus side, I've figured out an easy way to counter heavy spam.
It involves a six kin burst HMG.
Thanks for the effort Aunty Ark

Still two out of three points on the changes
I still think only one of the changes would have sufficed ~ Activation time would have been fine on it's own
Still a bit pissed at the "Min scout does not need more PGGǪ BTW we are going to raise the PG on RE (Min tech) to protect Heavies who can fit everything at Complex and Proto."
The Heavies saying "Buff Assaults then their will be no problem" kinda bothers me too. Not because I don't think that Assaults need the buff, but they talked a different talk when we discussing Scout Nerfs, and scouts were saying the similar things.

Vicious Minotaur wrote:GD has become a cesspit, so I figured I come back here to this old place from my dreams, back when I mained a Minmatar scout, to ask a simple question (because I am curious if I need to reevaluate my thoughts on the subject of "scout vs. sentinel balance").
If you, In your preferred scout, wielding a CRG-3 shotgun, came up behind a sentinel, which sentinel would you rather it be?
If it is no problem: List each of the four racial heavies From : 1 (most preferred) to 4 (least).
From my own experiences, but mostly from the perspective of an HMG wielding Minmatar Sentinel:
1) Minmatar. Low health values mean it gets shredded before it can really react.
2) Caldari. Shields go down to fluxes/HMG fire, and paltry armour goes down in an instant. Has time to react.
3/4) Amarr/Gallente. Bit of a tossup. Resistance against projectiles that protect their massive armourHP permits time to kill me.
I would think that a shotgun scout would have a similar list, but I can't assume anything.
Anyway, in lieu of a needed HMG nerf, some of my thoughts on helping my fellow enemy scouts directly:
Buff the shotgun in some fashion. Assaults will be getting looked at, and I would not bet against EHP values increasing as a result. Simply looking at heavies would not make shotgun scouts fair well against our new Assault overlords.
Make an armour biased shotgun variant. Weapon profiles should matter. Bringing an AR/SCR against armour tankers is not ideal as-is, and bringing the current shield-biased shotty against a Gal Sentinel ought to continue to be less than ideal (even in the event of a buff).
Are my thoughts disagreeable? Am I an idiot? Do I need to reevaluate things? I figure the barbers 'round here would know.
YouGǪ
I like you
Posts I've read by you have been good, and thoughtful as my memory serves.
I only SG on my Gal scoutGǪ and not since 1.8 droppedGǪ because i went Ion Pistol on this account. Only bring out the SG for special occasions.. like 14/16 Heavies on a team
Amarr Sentinel - The original HeavyGǪ Pain to take down with a SG, Knives work better. Dual Tanked ones are ridiculous. Rarely can finish them with the SG, usually have to switch to a Sidearm ~ SMG works well, ScP as well, but I headshot like a Bastard because I've mained sidearms for most of my career.
Gal Sentinel - Almost as bad if not as hard as the Amarr, only way to take out a heavy rep Gal is Alpha Damage like the SG. Shield preferred damage of the SG makes it a challenge to drop them just as the Amarr.
Cal Sentinel - Don't see many of them honestlyGǪ Calmando I see more often.
Min Sentinels - Every time I kill one it saddens me a little, I love these suits. Don't think I've Shotgunned one though. Usually Ion Pistol them with my GalGǪ I think that says a lot
When I Minja (which is way more common for me)
Gal is worse for some reason (maneuverability?) then Amarr. Others are not appreciably more challenging than a tanked Logi
When using my Cal ScoutGǪ I run RRGǪ not much of an Amarr, Gal, or MinGǪ but engaging at range soGǪ Cal heavies are actually harder to drop with the RR, because the Shields are high and a simple duck behind cover is all they need.

There are clearly implications here but if, for example, the current Amarr had this as part of their "hey I'm mobile" package would that create a new racial niche to play in or just break something? I love the idea of the diversity it offers but clearly making a new FotM isn't desirable, thoughts? If there was a skill that gave a bonus to walk/strafe speed it would become a mandatory skill. Strafe speed is the cornerstone of rifle vs rifle combat. The gameplay of DUST is heavily focused on Hip-Fire and DDR being the most powerful tools of combat There's already a large difference in experienced players vs new players that even the new people using proto and experienced people using starter fits can't overcome. This would really, really push the gap between players further apart.
I was thinking it would be a fun addition, but Appia raises a valid point. Ultimately I think it would just be an SP sink for a short term gain for those of us who have been around and don't need to save SP for essentials, while it just widens the gap for the new folksGǪ

Madness I say! um... actually thats almost false six kin burst, 4 damage mods is 1400 damage per second min scout unranked has 170 hp 170/1400=.12 seconds so yeah, they are super underpowered And you get it on suits with the most HP in the game...get out of here. How is this even a viable role? TBF, you're comparing the Highest DPS weapon in the game with 4x Complex Damage mods against the lowest TTK suit in the game with no extra tank slots or even passive skills. Not exactly a very good comparison if you want to argue balance. It's unbalanced from the beginning. IK hahaha its a joke I'm just saying that it can theoretically kill a suit in about one tenth of a second Not saying it doesn't need a slight nerf, but yeah that was a joke^^^
I completely agree a slight nerf is needed
Min scout should max out at 100 HP say 30 armour 70 shields

A few thoughts
Gal ~ The rep bonus concerns me. I believe the 3hp/sec was a large contributing factor to the move to FOTM, granting a 5hp/sec at Proto does not reduce the problem. On the original proposal for 1.8 I thought a 2hp/sec on the suit would be good.
Cal ~ Precision and range has shown to be a problem combination, not sure if this should be a thing. Moving the range bonus to the Amarr seems to me as a nice choice for adding a valid scout role to the Amarr scout.
Min ~ Strafe speed but I think that has been addressed. Anything about fitting so many PG intensive modules? GǪ also I see no nerf to armour/shields that hp still to high

I'm getting the impression that the my chosen format is difficult to follow. I'll try to work on it. What do you think about the knives?
I have knives on all my scoutsGǪ. (except Amarr because it's not really my scout )
The knives look good as an all around boost to everybody, and while they will be excellent on the Minja they will also be very good on the Cal as TAC also is extremely useful to knifingGǪ though i warn you this statement was made a few times in discussions about changing the Min bonus long ago..

The fundamental problem the Min scout faces is it's bonuses tax it's resources.
To maximize bonuses for scouts this is how they stand.
Cal Scout: Precision and Range use only CPU it works even with low PG
Gal Scout: Range and Damps only use CPUGǪ leaving a **** ton for fitting
Amarr: StaminaGǪ don't even need a mod, but really they are a whole other issue
Min Scout: Knives, they cost as much fitting as ScP, Code Breakers also taxing on Min Scout. Nevermind trying to add speed Cloak, a solid weapon besides NK. Shields are also resource taxing, but unlike the Cal fitting to your bonus means you can't fit shields as easily.

We'll wait for our number to come up when he gets to KinCats, Codebreakers and Knives. As for our proposal, I'd prefer to point the bonus to efficacy vs fitting efficiency; I think this way would be more helpful for the Minmatar who run a single KinCat. What do you think?
As a Min who runs a single Kin, it may help. But I am already running just one, and struggle to fit for any Codebreakers, and have any ability to dodge scans or be invisible. At least if I was a bit faster I might be able to get in and Knife that Warden before he Shotguns me, or the four heavies in his squad gun me down
I would not mind being faster, but am okay with the speed one Kin offers, as long as I am able to do something else effectively. I'll give up HP to Hack faster, so moving Codebreakers to the Lows is good, but I still want to be able to fit my suit to stand a chance without Spooks or worse yet ******* Logis doing it better.

Would it be so bad to just work towards reducing the cost of Codebreakers?
What would that look like in the grand scheme of the game?
Logi could fit them easy, but they already can.
Same with Spooks and Amarr
HeaviesGǪ only those who like to experiment would use them and they can fit anything they want already.
Commando, not enough slots to steal the thunder of the Minja
Assaults - working from this base stat not really worth the sacrifice of the slot

PS: Similarly, you'll be able to get in closer to wardens before they know you're coming since their range is lowered. And fewer CalScouts will serve as wardens, as running 1-2 cPEs will no longer cut it.
@ All
Shifting Gal and Cal bonuses from Base Scan Range to point to Range Extenders. Minor changes in value.
Thoughts?
Codebreakers are Lows, was implying that I would not oppose the move to Highs.

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

I don't really like the new cal/gal changes. It will require 1+ precision enhancer to detect a dampened gal scout. A balanced solution needs to rely on cloak. So a 1:1 module fitting then a cloak to remain hidden. What is the better advantage, staying hidden or being able to see? We all agree that staying hidden is more powerful. 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. I really like that logic That would require client side fix. What changed your minds? Remember when cloak provided real damp power. Thats what made the minja usable. 1. The cloak is entirely useless if fit for "visual camo" its just not very good at it. 2. The cloak is only useful at racial level 5. 3. Cloak is the least effective use of an equipment slot. I've entirely stopped running cloak after the hotfix. Its not worth the PG/CPU.
I think it can be done without client side fixGǪ but not 100% sure.
Adjusting the CPU/PG of the cloak should happen
Hell drop it by 80%GǪ It's not that effective if you can't drop your profile, so why not allow everybody to use it easily scouts still have the advantage.

yes the shared vision needs to go. we agree on that.
a cal has to sacrifice 3 high (precision) to detect a minja using 3 low (dampeners) sounds fair.
you then add that the cal is in a squad and that makes it not fair. if your solo it was never fair to begin with. yes without shared vision you would have a chance but you still have a better chance than a solo cal scout as they have less options to hide than you.
squad with a cal scout to run with you they are your short range eyes as you hack under cloak. add a gal scout to your squad for long range passive and now all the bases are covered. you are the speed hacking ninja with cal precision and gal range. so you know when they are coming, when to attack, and when to run. that is the best option i can see as I don't see shared passive going anywhere soon and as far as balance IMO 1v1 the min is in a good place and in a small squad with a cal and gal would be pretty deadly as well. most of the time in pubs if i see a cal scout alone he has a gal or min scout running with them. min has more chance solo than a cal scout.
So what you are saying is that in order to be competitive, I need the help of a gal and cal in my squad, whereas a cal or a gal, can be effective without a squad. Yeah, nothing wrong with minjas... Go run cal solo and tell me how effective you are at staying off tac-net, lol I said a minmatar has better chance solo than a caldari. For the same reason you think minmatar is gimped the all seeing tac-net. Cal is UNABLE to dampen enough where you only choose not dampen enough
I do run a Cal scout solo on occasion.
Being unable to Dampen does not play as much of a hindrance as it does on my Min. Why, because I can see what is around me and gauge my engagements before they even happen. For me Solo is easier on my Cal than on my Min.

I dislike dual tanking. I've always felt that things should be tweaked so people are encouraging to primarily use a single style of tanking and then use the other rack of slots for utility modules - for example, shields and then kincats/dampeners.
If I were to rebalance DUST I'd give the tanking modules high PG/low CPU usage, and vice versa with the utility modules, then tweak suit PG/CPU values. You could avoid things like battle logis or scouts while still giving them plenty of slots by giving them low PG and high CPU, then.
I'd prefer % values to healthGǪ the with distinction given as they are now on suits. This would allow for pg/cpu dynamic to still allow for interesting mixes and suit builds.
But I agree with your idea

WellGǪ
Last night I decided to take the free Gal Heavy out for a spin.
Quick stop at the LP store to pick up some Republic HMGs and threw on an Enhanced shield and Complex Reactive plate and off to the Dom match I went.
After mowing down four people and not seeing my shields break halfway. I saw First Name Family Name (same team) at a supply depot loading up the PLC, so I switched out to my PLC. Canon madness ensuedGǪ good times.
Going to try the heavy again but first impression of the Gal SentGǪ even without resistances it's solid. Only time I was really threatened was a SG blast to the back, spun around and mowed the lawn

Oh common it's an interesting read 813 pages of intrigue, bastadlyness, epic strugglesGǪ. fun stuff
Shared passive scans should go in my opinion. Removal would help balance.
We have seen the problem that the shared passive scans give throughout this thread in many forms.
-Installations used to give away Any suit in range: Anytime someone approached an Objective, CRU, SD, or Turret gave away every suits position on the map. This removed all scouts from being stealthy and contributed to scouts being UP. We positioned about this problem because it invalidated the scout and EWAR as a whole.
-Active Scanners allowed for 360-¦ scanning: The majority of the community was up in arms about this because it caused invalidated so many tactics through a simple wall hack. At that time scouts could not avoid the 15db scanner no matter the sacrifice to fitting, and the scan angle was irrelevant. So broken.
-Cal scout is the current wall hack, benefits the entire squad with 360-¦ shared scans. Remove the squad vision and it will be more balanced.
If Shared Passive Scans are removed it will help to make more suits and fits valid, not just for scouts but across the game. This is a good thing. However I would caution that the Active Scanner needs to be revisited at the same time. Spin Scans are not entirely fixed from what I hear, just not as fashionable or easy as they once were.

Thanks for now Actually, one thing while we still (hopefully) have your attention. Are you able to look into fall damage application? Currently a relatively minor fall can put a scout into half armor, while heavies can fall from the MCC without dying. Can be a real issue as I'll often lose most of my shields just jumping over a slightly raised barriers. Moving to % based instead of a straight damage amount, or reducing the fall damage for scouts to be more reasonable level would be much appreciated. Has been an ongoing concern for us, as one of our main defences is mobility. o7

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.
Unless you are squading with Blueberries (and if you are I commend you) they do not benefit from your shared scans. The fact that a well coordinated squad that contains a Cal scout will trump a well coordinated squad without one may be an issue to consider as well. Does the shared vision play a role in marginalizing the other scouts uses? Seems that it does, if you have experience running against this problem.
PC is all squad playGǪ what is the preferred Scouts for PC?
Cal scout for finding and sharing those locations, as a passive "Active" scanner the Cal scout proves to be invaluable. Gal scouts can undermine the Cal scout so they see much use,
I agree that scouts are for providing intelligence, but I feel that the Shared Scans actually inhibit that role in a couple of ways.
- It's a passive action, by virtue of proximity you are "scouting" rather than communicating the intel in a meaningful way
- By having scouts that are better in range, precision, and dampening it creates imbalances in Scouts usefulness. Removal of Shared vision works to decrease the disparity between Scout types.

I am not too comfortable with giving the CA both range and precision supremacy, I believe you have to make a choice.
If this is because Shared cans are not removable thenGǪ
I've always liked the idea of the Amarr having range it suits the Amarr style of ranged engagements and compensates for the slow movement, by adding a Shared Scan to the group since they are not far advanced field scouts but squad support scouts.
Concern that this edges the Cal scout out of EWAR is valid, though Precision will remain the most powerful form of Ewar. Dampening is a close second but it is countered by LoS (Cloak does not grant true invisibility, and requires commitment of an EQ slot) Gal will still be solid for reasons stated above.
MinGǪ I need some clarification here. Dropping the Knife bonus for Kinz? While I love the idea of fast hacks and fast movement i am a bit concerned about having two good bonuses. Knifing and Hacking works because Hacking is somewhat situational (it only really shines in Skirmishes, but it is damn good) and Knifing requires the fitting of NK so it is only a bonus if you Knife. This way two bonuses works while everyone else has one.
Will Speed and Hack be considered OP?
Will Kinz be adjusted to be realistically fit?

CA Scout "The Hunters"
These squishy players will be hit hardest. At ~300HP and reduced scan range, they'll find themselves well within insta-gib range before shooters are picked up on TacNet. Many will migrate from precision+range to shields+regulator (or possibly another suit).
Maybe it's just me, and my crazy way of fitting thingsGǪ but my Minja are squishier than any Cal scout I run into, and have the range that the Cal will have. It's not as much of an issue as one would expect. The fact that Cal will still be able to see most people coming will keep them viable. Yes outranged by rifles will be bad, but only in open areas and when you don't choose your routes or engagement areas.

Anyhow, little changes can be have big effects on interplay among Scouts ...
Let's say you're a post-Charlie Scout AK.0 running 2 cPEs and an ScR. You'll see a CA Scout long before he ever sees you, and it'll only take one charged shot to bring him down (unless he's running plates).
Let's say that CA Scout committed 100k from his wallet and all of his slots toward maximizing his role of "Scout Hunter". Well, that'd be some funny sh!t, wouldn't it? Who is hunting who?
Let's say the ineffective bastard respawns with two damps and manages to catch you offguard. How many seconds will it take him to cut through all of your massive HP? Those plates of yours are oh-so-heavy, but do you have the strength to insta-spin? Yes, you do. We all do. Which is why you'll win.
Because HP > All Else.
Just ask Nyain San.
When we last nerfed EWAR to fix brick-tanked Scouts, we saw a major shift toward brick-tanking among Scouts. The point I'm trying to make is that nerfing our EWAR again will only serve to encourage more brick-tanking.
Don't make me brick-tank my loadouts to keep up. It isn't fun, it requires no skill and it makes me feel like a f*cking tourist in my own bar. I'll gladly declaw my CalScout to benefit other Scouts, but don't dilute EWAR to such a degree that all Scouts are best suited HP-tanking. We should be decentivizing HP tanking, not reinforcing it.
Agreed,
One thing though
Even running plates the ScR will wreck you.

Scouts were not "incredibly overpowered", the Gal and to a lesser extent the Cal scout were incredibly overpowered. The cloak was also a problem, in it's delay and fire capabilities. When you nerfed hammered the "scout problem" it was all scouts, placing the Min and Amarr into worse positions, and placing the Cal in a better position.
Fixing one thing can easily have a detrimental effect on another, interaction between every aspect of the game has an effect on all parts of the game.

The base scan range is pretty good and they could still augment it with range mods so long as they are willing to sacrifice damps. It will still be a powerful bonus, just more difficult to deny large areas of a map to min and Amarr scouts.
Amarr with a range bonus is preferable to a plate bonus since this is actually a bonus to a scout speciality rather than hp which should be the domain of medium and heavy suits.
Assault scouts are a seperate issue which won't be resolved without assault suit buffs or possibly harsher penalties for scouts fitting hp. If anything, removing range from Cal scouts will discourage assault scouts as the scan range is an important part of those fittings/role. What if range was a high slot? Cal without a bonus could still have the best range but would have to sacrifice precision. Amarr with a 25% range boost and 2 range amps wouuld make them really good mid precision scanner and could still fit 3 dampeners and a reactive plate min could run a precision range codebreaker (if codebreakers also moved to high) and still fit 3 dampeners. I know on my gal scout I would then run 1 range and 1 precision on my ADV/PROTO leaving me with 1-2 low slots for kincats, reactives or cardiac. I know not that great but like the codebreakers more scout mods need balanced out of the low slots.
Shuffling around some of the modules could work well without changing a whole lot of things.
Like to see what Appia has to say about that moveGǪ she has a knack for finding the OPness of module shifts on all sorts of suits.

Seems like the CalScout is going to take a big hit regardless. I think that swapping Precision for Range would soften the blow and permit CalScouts to continue culling the ranks of the undampened Scout. I can't imagine Low Range / High Precision being effective for anything other than following around Heavies. Plus, the GalLogi is under-utilized; this would give it an opportunity to step forward; if focused scanners break the game, we can always lobby to get them rebalanced. If such a change does come through one of the hotfixes, and it's having gamebreaking effects, be sure someone sojourn out of the shop to throw a bottle at me so that I know about it (in case I'm either not around here at that moment, or not noticing the issue myself... hopefully neither of which will happen, but... sometimes things happen when I've been drinking ) Cheers

There is no 1 for 1 black and white straight trades between bonuses. Clearly, some bonuses are worth more than others. To be even more granular, some bonuses apply 100% of the time, and some much less due to being completely situational. Then further down the rabbit hole than that, some bonuses require very specific player specific skills outside the game itself (knifing). you could give most people 1000% bonus damage with a charged orbital strike, and it wouldn't help them.
There's no way to take someone seriously if they don't get that.

I was to approach a few women and make a statement in french
The statement used
Quote: Je veux vous battre avec un pieuvre morte
The subjects were then asked if they found the statement sexy.
Results
An overwhelming majority found the statement sexy.
Two of the subjects understood french, and one found it funny, the other still stated it was sexy

That'd be civil, but it's pretty much guaranteed not to happen. Brawls are the norm here; words are seldom minced and punches seldom pulled. If a regular thinks you're wrong, he'll call you out. If you don't take kindly to being called out, try harder to not be wrong :) The point is that i'm obviously only here because of the blue tag, but i simply gave my feedback, like i do in many other threads. I play most of time as scout, i use EW and of course i'm interested in what will be the evolution of my role, all the community should be involved in this discussion. I've posted here and i've been personally attacked for no reason and i can't bear it. If we're being honest here, most "old-time scouts", are bittervet elitists. Yes, that includes me. But that's what makes the scout community fun, when everyone can be elitist together and scoff down at the FoTM chasers equipment spammers and tourists. I may or may not be joking. I do not take any liability for damage caused by this statementAnd further, the whole exchange between Shaman and Spademan is a collective headbutting of egos and silly, in my opinion.

What do you guys do to avoid running into this?

You can try to delay after the charge before sprinting but it's hard to avoid that. Really crouch then sprint, if you get fast at it it's alrightGǪ not a great solution.

One halloween we all put on face paint, wore the same outfits, set up shop in a new building under construction and proceeded to nail every single car that went by on a busy street with eggs. In advance we had moved dumpsters to block every alley along the way to the next busy street. So when the cops finally came we all took off.. about 30 of us.. ran between yards and through alleys.. the cops didn't catch one person because of our road blocks. I am afraid to have children.

Roman Candle fights were the norm for me as well

So, given my hot streak of making CCP predictions here is two more.
1) Legion is going right back down the same dark dev path dust did, and I think it will ultimately fail.
2) CCP will have a new CEO within two years.
Same thoughts on Legion right from the get go.
You have no idea how much the "PC Master Race" threads made me laugh. Doesn't matter what the game is made for if it is made badly. I play on many different platforms, and good games are goodGǪ bad ones are bad, some could be better if the work can be done right. I just can't see Legion delivering what the promises are, never mind the expectations. Sure they have more wiggle room for coding (meaning transfer shortcoming to higher system requirements) but in the end I can't see the development going in the direction they promise.

Pale Eye,
I have received your letters, though it seems a few messengers died delving them. Nords running out of the woods at me tend to get an arrow to the face. Skyrim is indeed a place of violence and hatred, i found that killing came to easily to me. As you found peace in helping out at the Temple of Mara, i found that adopting a child has helped ease my bloodlust. Though I have made many enemies already. This can't be helped as to often others attempt to impose their ideas upon me or others, this tends to end in bloodshed. The Thalmar have decreed that I be killed on sight due to a couple ofGǪ antagonistic incidentsGǪ
In a remote mountain pass I crossed paths with one of your people. Surrounded by the corpses of Shadowcats he was awaiting a good death. I had hoped that he would join me as, travelling with me seems to attract a lot of deathGǪ alas this was not what he wanted to do, though I gave him a good death. I believe that he went with honour.
I have encountered a strange group of people known as the Foresworn. I've been watching an encampment for some time now. they intrigue me, I may attempt to contact them soon.

90% is good but it won't make a significant impact across the board.
I know 85% would be a harder sell though

I know 85% would be a harder sell though Can you explain why 85% is your magic number? Why do you think 10% reduction to backpedal speed won't make a significant impact? Can you elaborate what you mean by "across the board" in this context?
Quick rambling drunken response so don't expect much clarity here
85% makes more sense to me in the context beyond just NK/SGGǪ
I know as a tendency we look at back peddle in the context of those two weapons, because this is where the 100% is glaringly apparent. It is not as noticeable at greater distances, or at least not recognized as much. The greater the difference in back peddle speed the more tactical the value of a weapons effective and optimal ranges become. The RR is a great example of this.
I can back peddle and maintain optimal range against virtually any opponent who is not similarly armed easily. At 100% or even 90% you will kill anyone before they can cover ground to be effective, even in CQ the RR works well because back peddle nullifies spool up. Take the PLC for this example, I can charge and fire while back peddling out of the splash radius in my Min suit with ease. A greater penalty to back peddle would curb that somewhat. A greater reduction would affect faster suits more so this choppy mechanic would not be as exploitable.
Across the board is essentially a reference to the variety of weapons and variability of the speed of different framesGǪ
Plain and simple a 90% is not a bad reduction but I don't see it as being enough, and tweaking later tends to happen in a Flaylock kind of way if you follow my meaning.

As a long time mins out I get kind of tired of hearing other suit loyalists bitching. It's not the suit. It's the operator. Every time.
Out of all the scouts it actually has a clearly defined role, yet we never get the satisfaction of achieving that role because other suits complain about us getting there. GTFO with that b00lshite.
I have had proto gals out for a long time. It's always been better. And for fuk sake... Min and gal are supposed to be allies. help us brothers out instead of bitching about us getting better when we aren't even equals. It's ******* petty as fuk really. Agreed. In my mind, a bonus to knives or hacks is nigh useless if your position is being broadcasted to nearby hostiles. As this overlaps a 'bit with Gallente's "infiltration" role, I'd prefer to see something like Bor's idea implemented, such that Minmatar actively manage their scan profiles using cloak ... god-d*mn "waves of opportunity" allover again :-) Minmatar (dampened) * Plan * Cloak (TacNet immune) * Hurry In * Hurry Out * Decloak (TacNet vulnerable) Gallente (dampened) * Plan * Infiltrate * Linger

Minmatar (dampened)
* Cloak
* Hurry In
* Hurry Out
* Decloak
Gallente (dampened)
* Not on TacNet (cloak optional) I see no problem with that approach - except that it's still assuming pro suit with pro cloak. It's kinda sad when I'm having more fun on Skyrim replays, and now checking out this XCOM and being content to let passive SP accumulate for a few months so I can log in, unlock all the proto stuff and feel like I actually have a chance with scouts on the enemy team. I'm waiting for Charlie, when my 2x cDamp on the ADV suit might be more survivable. For the record, it's not the 'hard mode' that's got me down - that's fine. What's gotten more aggravating than I can ignore is getting under 200k ISK out of a winning match where I have 10+ kills and over 1500 WP, but took 7 or 8 losses to get there... losses costing me 61k ISK per suit. I die 4 times, I'm not even breaking even. And when everybody sees you coming but you can't see them, you die. Often. Unless you're sniping. I'm tired of sniping for 10-15 matches to buy enough suits to play 3-4 matches the way I enjoy (run around, stab all the mercs, shoot the other ones, hack all the things) playing. And watching all the NS, FA, ML, DL, ERA, etc. with all their ISK from the old PC running all PRO, all the time because losing 10 PRO suits in a match doesn't even impact their wallets - yeah, that doesn't really help, either. The jimmy rustlin' is intense. Speaking of XCOM, I don't wanna spam the Locker Room with a third XCOM thread, so I think I'm just gonna post my XCOM AARs in here.
The disparity between newbro resources and old folks resources is actually a huge problem, you raise a valid point. I quit the game shortly before Beta moved to Alpha because freezes cost me ISK to the point where i could not run a scout suit so i did not play. When i did come back i found they sold my assets and that made the game viable again for me. Why devote time to a game where i feel i am making no gains, and fun is interrupted by hard freezes?

I'll give credit where due the moment you bastards and scoundrels quit stealing each other's ideas :-) But just so I have this straight ... You proposed idea, we said ... bollocks! <--- practicing my British Borimir proposed same idea weeks later, we said ... f*cking genius!Gav waited two days, attempted to call Bor's idea his idea ... we called him an arse.

Really if it get's implemented I'd be happy so don't care where the idea came from originally.

That was a mixed bag of matchmaking
a few randoms vs single squadsGǪ netter than two squads i guess

I got three of 'em solved, working on the last FGer in an ak.0 when some jerk in a Minmatar commando COMES AT ME BRO with his CR. I have my Charge SR and a State Wyrkomi Schwarma. **** just got real. So, with no recourse available to me, I swap to the Wyrkomi and proceed to dance with the Minmando, jumping and weaving and punching him with the handheld SAM launcher until he died, with me at about 15% armor remaining. Threw my compact hive down, repped up my armor with it, and proceeded to score the final blow on that ak.0 on the far tower - he'd been weakened by the door gunner of a brave Viper pilot. Then the match ended and one of my squad mates was like "Jace, you killed that commando with a melee??" I'm like, "Yeah, dude, I got a Charge and a swarm, couldn't do nothin' else." He's like "I was watching y'all dance around each other on tacnet, that was awesome!" feelsgoodman.jpg

It worked for meGǪ but after 4 matches i got the lag and rendering problemsGǪ switched to EU no problem for a bitGǪ
**** needs fixing though

Cross Atu wrote:Okay bastards sharpen your knives, I've been thinking again and we all know what that means In an effort to broaden the value of eWar without touching current scout values, and to make the medium frames more diverse I have been playing with the mad science of changing the profile on the logistics frames, reducing it a bit so that there is more incentive for logi to run damps (and not brick tank) while trying to avoid having them mess with scout play. Alright, general notion having been framed here are my opening thoughts, tell me what y'all feel about them and help me polish this up so it is worthwhile before I show it to CCP. Reduce logistics base profile from 50 to 45 or 46. Aim is to have 3x damped logi hitting a modified profile of 29 which (correct me if I'm wrong) would still make them show up on proto scanners (even without the GalLogi bonus) and most non-bricked scout fits. However let them be under the scans of most medium and heavy frames promoting a reason to run more non-bricked logi fits. In addition to the general question above (and telling me if my math is wrong as it sometimes is) I am wondering your thoughts on the following. 1. The GalLogi has 5 lows, would the added value of damps 4 and 5 be problematic in this context despite the stacking penalty? 2. The CalLogi has room to max buffer 5 complex shield extenders while still running 3x damps, does this added eWar potential (if their base profile were shifted 5 as suggested above) directly hinder scout play in some manner as it is not coming so directly at the cost of tank? 3. Is a net profile of 29 (when triple damped) a bad or good number to shoot for in the interests of bringing some medium frame eWar play into the picture without damaging the scout role? Why/Why not? Looking forward to your input Cheers, Cross
Oddly I was looking at this the other wayGǪ as in Logi having a better Precision in order to catch light dampened scouts thereby reducing the Brick Tanking Slayer ScoutGǪ but never put the numbers to it

We have spent a lot of time focused on the interplay between the different scout suits, and balanced them fairly well against each other. However it seems we really need to balance them against everything else know. I think EWAR certainly needs to be at play with the other frames, otherwise it really is a game of scout vs scout and that is in my opinion not as fun.
During the MCC I actually ran a Basic Minja with NO HP MODS AT ALL and no Damps it was Hack and KinzGǪ i averaged 8 deaths per match and my ceiling kills were in the 20's
Why did this workGǪ Because the basic Min is OPGǪ nope
I could see other scouts on Tac because they had **** for EWAR and a hell of a lot of HPGǪ few could see me despite no damp (I do have maxed Damp skill though) Never saw a scanner come out, no Logi running EWAR mods. Not up against low SP players either I saw Vets in the roster and many a match against Corp squads.
We need to have reasons to run our EWAR besides as a counter to ourselvesGǪ or else we are just HAV protectionist douches who don't want AV buffed

Quick Flaylock Note
The Breach has a minor issueGǪ. Damage is great direct hits however do not do enough meaningful damage relative to missile speed. Before you could get that second shot off relatively quickly from flight to next shot. Due to the missile speed increase the first shot lands sooner than you can get the second shot off, because the RoF was not increased.
Other than thatGǪ. loving the Flaylock changes, not over the top so it will still remain relatively below the radar (Thanks Bolt Pistol) but certainly more viable than before.
had over ten fits that were broken with the PG increase to the FLGǪ After I put in the NK Ops only had to tweak two fits :D

The Light Weapon event would have been interesting as Militia thoughGǪ I think Sidearms are closer to balanced against each other (Except Bolt PistolGǪ. because ) Light Weapons are not as balanced against themselves in militia or each other (partially due to the variation in purpose) Kills with a Militia SR would have been a challenge before the fixGǪ particularly against tanked out suits.

Whether or not AM/GA stacking armor causes problems is debatable. But I see no reason whatsoever to penalize CA/MN for stacking shields; they aren't causing problems. I feel that 3 and 4 above would widen the gap between best-in-class and worst.
I would say the people asking for the "Generalized Nerf" to scouts need to sort out what the actual problem they have is. The tendency is to say Scouts are OP nerd themGǪ but what is the source of this OP and is it all scouts? So often i see people just use implied problems without actually identifying the issue they have.
Seriously I think if the Backpeddle/Strafe speed were adjusted for all suits to not be at 100% Scouts may be seen as less of a problem. Something many of us have been talking about anyway.

They 1 shot any suit, regardless of role, size, race or sexual preference. The phrase "God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal" comes to mind
Remembers when Knives blue shielded almost as often as they hit
They are good now

The last three books aren't by Jordan but by Sanderson writing with Jordan's notes - Jordan died before completing it. There's mixed reviews on how Jordan handled it, but it's more than worth the time you'll spend in the reading. Rand al Thor is a compelling character. I warn you, early on his two brosefs ***** a lot, especially the blacksmith. But they man up enough, and it makes for good character development. And they don't whine as much as Frodo Baggins, so really, it's not so bad to begin with. GREAT series. Stands up with LotR easily among the greatest fantasy epics of all time.

+1 Ewar is broken, they already "fixed it" But PLEASE continue the circular argument we had two months ago. Unless passive scanning is removed the *smirk* "power projection" a single suit can provide to its squad is too great. In the mean time, the only real solution I see is that if you fit ewar mods you should be getting a negative bonus as well. That way if you want to see everyone, everyone can see you. If you want to be tac net invisible, you can't see anyone either. Only way to make it fair and helps to balance the equation Appia talked about.
That would change the dynamic somewhat so that EWAR is less linearGǪ which leads to the continued Precision or Damp should be better.
I agree with Appia's explanation as well.
Personally I still think they should add dynamic EWARGǪ but I know that is perhaps a little out of the real of "working with what we have"
Do away with Cloak Bonus for scouts, return to Profile Reduction
Reduce the fitting cost of Cloaks - ramifications of everybody fitting a cloak?
Introduce Cloak Variant that lowers Profile but not Visual Visibility to create waves of Dampening countered by Active Scanners Waves of Visibility.
This would require a full re-juggling of Profile across the board though. I think.
Hell even just introduce the Variant so that we have up and down Profile periods would make things more interesting.

What do you guys think?
Don't forget that cloaks and precision are defensive items as well. I often use both to escape and completely avoid tenuous situations. Yes, I use it for attacking too, but am not and have never been a true slayer. I would much rather see a combination of penalties to armor plates, sprint bug fix, with a second delay between decloak and item usage. On an unrelated note, what would it take for an Assault to be invisible to scouts who have precision maxed, but no mods yet show up when they carry a precision enhancer, provided that they are maxing, or near maxing their dampening? If there were a sprint bug fix, and that delay to post decloak item usage what would you guys suggest regarding armor plate penalties and/or cloak scan debuff? Would Active Cloak set Scan Range = -50% have the same sort of value or does that defeat the purpose? /breaks out notepad

Nerfing any of the others would have too much of a ripple effect on other roles. I don't think the shotgun is the problem itself, but nerfing it seems like the fastest and least intrusive way of eliminating the problem.

I have to say
You and the team have done an incredible job working out some real balance to weapons. It is actually not easy to spot what the worst weapon in the game is.
I am sure if you asked you would get many different answers.
I'd still say the Breach FlaylockGǪ only because the missile speed needs a slight tweak up. currently you can't get the second shot off until a little after the first one explodes. This invalidates the small clip size, lowers the benefit of Rapid Reload, and because it does not OHK leaves you very exposed after that shot.

I promise they aren't getting siren songed off this forum this is THE place to interface with Devs (CCP Ratatatti) and CPM (Cross and IWS). That won't change! However, they are welcome too I come off as critical of dust, but I have no ill will towards it. In fact, I really want it to succeed. I hope strengthening our community and preserving the cool culture we've cultivated only serve to resolve the will CCP needs to get it done. Not only that- but yes.. .Destiny's forums blow dogs for quarters. Literally, only one front page of our group is useful. And I think it kind of inappropriate to arrange Destiny (soon GTA online) stuff on CCPs forums, ya know? This is also a way for us to still communicate and play other games. Also, for me it is a fun hobby, and I am really enjoying converting our culture into a forum. Spademan is going to get an A (whatever the top grade is ) in his coursework.. lots of positives.

Lucky enough to live near the river so I have great soil and a good compost heap to supplement.
Let's see I have
Cilantro
three varieties of Mint (one tastes like chocolate mintGǪ that **** on lamb is fantastic )
Dill
Coriander
The holy trinity of spices Rosemary, Sage, Thyme

If there wasn't such a thing, let me be the first. Do you do your own canning/jarring? My GF has an Aunt/Uncle in Montana we hang out with every summer and their garden is awesome. They do their own food preservation too. Their pickles are so good. Every summer we go they have different stuff, and sometimes even better the same. They are so amazingly self reliant.. I am just in awe. Wish I had a "river" :D All you need to grow is garlic! So.. are potatoes a euphemism? I got potato seeds too.
I have not tried garlic in my soilGǪ one of the folks at the farmers market has insanely good garlic, so it's not been a priority.
We have done a bit of canning preserving in house, but my mother-in-law does crazy amounts of canningGǪ and she has fruit trees. Cherries, peaches, pears and apples.
First run of pickles we did from all our own stuff (except the garlic) and they were so goodGǪ father-in-law stole three jars from us lol

And lets be honest for a second. If you are running plates with more than a 1% speed penalty on a scout, you're kinda fucking yourself over.
Because there's no logic to the thought process, and doing things because it will shut up the idiots isn't sufficient justification. If tanking is in the domain of the heavy, then Ewar is in the domain of the scouts. If one gets penalties for using modules in the others domain then logically it should work both ways. So where are the penalties for heavies when using ewar? Where is the logi penalty for using weapons? The Assault penalty for using equipment? Nowhere because it's stupid to stifle diversity.
I want to know why an Amar Logi can get away with running other equipment besides UplinksGǪ it's an uplink suit it should have to fit them for balance

As it stands, if I have 2 Damps and a proto cloak, I have to have my cloak active for an Amarr not to pick me up.
If we made this change, I would simply just beat the Amarr. There would be no penalty for deactivating cloak or running out of juice.
Am I reading that wrong? Good question ... let's work it out: With 2 cPEs, the AM Scout scans at 18 dB. CA/GA Scouts currently need 2 damps to dodge. MN/AM Scouts currently need 2 damps and an adv cloak to dodge. Proposed system: All Scouts need 2 damps to dodge (as cloak bonus is removed).
MN/AM Scouts retain the ability to beat his scans using two slots. If we required them to use three, that'd be a serious nerf to MN/AM Scouts. I agree it would be an issue if we had to have 3. But that is the current metric if solely relying on damps. If changes went through we could use two damps and beat them without the use of a cloak. I don't know what that would do to be honest. In some ways that is a buff to us. Particularly those that don't use cloaks. At the same time, it does mean the Amarr are getting less for the same sacrifice that they make now. I hate the Amarr, so I don't know how much if any that effect would have on them, but AM scouts might not like it. I see walls of text from them in your future

I think I prefer some of the other suggested changes if things need to be done. Such as medium suit profile reduction or scout armour plate penalties and shield regen reduction.
Very clever idea though. Might be fun dropping cloak to activate scans, then re-cloaking. I'm also a bit worried certain people would go for the cloak nerf but not agree to all the necessary profile and damp buffs that go with it. It's all very well giving Rattati a well thought out idea but what if he's under pressure to screw it up?
Rattati holds his own when it comes to looking at ideas, at least from what I have seen.

I like this blog, because 1.9 (which by the way is a large part of the answer to the question asked of me a long time ago - "why would you buy BPOs") but the 'rough draft' from before polish was added could not IMO have been called half assed. That being said, this blog should in no way be taken as a "Legion is dead" thing, it is simply a focus on trying to take the life in Dust and make it an ongoing sustained thing. That's my best understanding. Cheers, Cross Legion is dead and really the beta for dust then. lol, yeah something like that

The shotgun scout is balanced. People just need to realize that alpha weapons should be able to kill them, and that it isn't a scrub tactic. The cloak is either highly visible or impossible to see, depending on lighting conditions. Still a great tool even in dark maps if you time your movements according to when enemies are looking.

Savvy? Actually, I think a good compromise would be to seriously reduce the scan radius when the cloak is active (something that CCP Rattati hinted will be coming, perhaps in 1.9?). This would mean a scouts role would be to provide Intel to its squad, but have to be uncloaked to do so. I have to admit I sometimes run a Caldari scout (proto) with boosted precision and shotgun for the giggles. Running around invisible and 20/20 vision on everybody else (even some cloaked scouts) is fun.... Broken, but fun
The compromise you speak of is a very solid idea. It originated here in this thread from a Scout named Haerr, and discussed a fair bit. I can actually say I feel confident in what Rattati and crew take from that and apply in game. A few balancing changes have happened this way (feedback - Rattati - Dev work = idea a little different but fairly balanced - tweak as needed) I like this system.

I was doing quite well in them. But if Rhada says they're useless then they must be. I've seen his youtube channel. Anyone that makes youtube videos is obviously better than the rest of the player-base.
Anyone with a youtube channel should always be taken at their word, never questioned with and never discussed about.
We got such great precedent, like KingThunderBolt and Pyrex.
And no one has every made a video where the other side was 14 people in NPC corps, played with a full squad, and laughed about how amazing they were when they did well with the weapons they were using.
They certainly wouldn't use montages, cutting out the "boring" parts where they had to run around looking for someone or when they died either.

That being said the logic on both Logi and Commando is to make them the regen side of the eHP coin within their frame size while the Sent/Ass are the buffer side. The less directly identical they roles are the more each can be honed, and since the Assaults just got a buff to raw tank... The notion that the Assault should have more eHP (not talking HP, but eHP) than the Logi is in my view untenable when it comes to role balance. The medium frames need equivalent eHP attained in different ways. Back to the sheet, unless/until I'm shown some metrics which contradict this I am of a mind that the Gal suits should have a wider margin on native reps, the current advantage they have seems inadequate to me. Having said that there was some buzz about looking at a module efficiency stat for suits so if that is happening the dynamic changes completely and my current assessments go right out the window.
I have to say I have yet to find one of your responses to be lacking or hard to understand
This makes sense to me as you have explained.
Now do you see this as a move back towards Slayer Logi, or has the Assault buff made that less viable as an option?

If my knowledge of Irish law is up to snuff, discussing a topic which is agreed to by both parties as being private (which I'm sure you do somewhere in the fine print) with people uninvolved is illegal. It's only really enforceable through written documents and the like.

But is does end up protecting those "holding power" more so than those who are being modded against.
Particularly if moderation is not being handled equally across the board, nothing protects those that were moderated as they are not even able to discuss the moderation with others to compare for fairness or equality.

I was also playing FW with some of the Nova Knifer United scouts, and we were running up against the same Dust Brazil squad two times in a row, and then a whole Qsynced set that was very well coordinated consisting of Otera (?) 8213 and others.

You mean saying "Come here, I promise I won't hurt you," with a hand behind your back has actually worked for someone? Let me clarify. The driver is an ally, he drives at full speed towards an enemy, but tries to just barely miss him. You, as the passenger, time your swipe perfectly. Simple, really.

CCP Rattati wrote:Manipulating market sales data willget you guys nowhere :)
The Assault buff was more than enough, and they don't need anything right now. Many players even swear by the CA/GA assault bonuses so wary of changing them, maybe just buffing the number. Gallente Assault is the worst right noe, but dropsuits often suffer when their primary suffers, such as sentinel until hmg was buffed.
Commandos as lone wolves and high ehp can use a little buff, so high native reps fit well
Logis need a little buff, and I think it makes a lot of sense to give them higher native reps than assaults, "who heals the healer?", unless armor hiving himself, noone. I don't think Assaults having less than Logis is at all stupid.
Combining MM/AM was necessary to make the progression not too steep. And the arguments (hybrid vs armor, both had a point so making them equal is also fair). A lot of fuss over something that will not matter much to 90% of the playerbase. Native rep should imo have been the same for all races from day 1. Again built in bonuses are not good, EWAR should be efficacy as well.
Gallente may end up getting a 0.5 or 1.0 on Monday, but I also saw this as an opportunity to debuff the GA scout a little. Overall the racial bonus should be approximately a single modules worth, so basic rep mod or so. I am exploring efficacy but it's a huge change.
Scouts are not getting nerfed as a class, but Cloak as you know is getting nerfed. No matter how many scout threads in GD. It would be good to hear thoughts on sentinels, because I believe the proliferation of scouts in PC is a symptom to sentinel/hmg spam, and pretty much RE or shotgun is the only hard counter. Assaults are coming back slowly into PC though.
And for the love of god, Slayer Logis...are not a problem, nor are they likely to become a problem with these changes.
ASCR is not competitive, one of the worst Rifles atm, ARR needs a buff too.
2 grenades is not an option because of the single button grenade throw, no way to switch grenades (at least not right now)
For boats we need water
Finally, a question, opening up the Assault and Breach variants at Standard, plus lowering their prices, is there any reason not to? I would welcome the diversity and maybe prefit the logi (Medic) starter fits with them.
Damn that was thorough
And informative
Agree that the Gal rep needed a drop
Not saying Slayer Logis are a problemGǪ but their was a time when a Logi could be a better choice for both Assault and ScoutingGǪ it was long ago. Honestly had no idea how well the Assault is doing.
ASCR needs a buff, but what about the changes to the regular ScR? is that for unification or are they also worse after the last changes? Personally never found the ScR to under perform, but had not used it after Delta hitGǪ so I really can't say much, more curiosity.
On EfficacyGǪ Are we talking Suit Bonuses, Passive Skill bonus, or both?
Thought we established that for boats we need wine
Assault and Breach variants at standard is something that many have wanted for some time. If they are balanced I can't see an issue with putting them on the Medic Fit, gives the opportunity for everybody to try them out.

If they have concerns for shared passives while cloaked, I would rather they just remove shared passives altogether.
Otherwise, they should just come out and say they don't like slaying while cloaked and at least be honest.
As it stands, my hacking capacity will be severely diminished as I have no defensive options, particularly around CRUs with Reds spawning in. Fan-freaking-tastic.
I hope it all works out for the best in the end, but I don't look forward to it. Hacking will be a little more dangerous but I don't think this is a big change. Installation hacking won't be much different as the enemy still won't see you. It will just be risky escaping once the hack is done. Objective hacking will be interesting. I imagine it would be better to decloak first as the enemy knows where you are anyway. However you do loose that extra second it takes people to target you whilst cloaked and hacking, so I don't know.
Not too worried myselfGǪ
Remember when we used to hack **** slower and without cloaks.. and the Installations broadcast your position to everybodyGǪ hell we did it then we can still do it now.

I hear you King
Understandable concerns
CRU are the most vulnerable hacking point especially near a Combat ZoneGǪ where people are more likely to spawn.
Basically we have the choice to be uncloaked and see what is coming, or be cloaked and not see unless it is right up close.
Cloaked - we are not immediately visible and with higher hacking speed have a better chance of getting the job done before being noticed. Blind to the Reds that do know we are there and are moving in on us, but they have to find us at least. If they have us Scanned (passive or active) it does not matter anywayGǪ
Uncloaked - visible to anyone spawning in (and they always seem to spawn right behind you) but you can see the Reds moving in on you and gauge back out or counter-maneuversGǪ
It's not easy on us at allGǪ does it adjust the way other scouts have to play enough to validate the challenges faced by Minjas?
I can't say until I see it in action for sure.

Gimme a sec, I'm gonna come back with a waste of 40 Mil Skill set. The very fact you have to go make a concerted effort to completely waste 40 Mil SP proves my point. Yeah, I know The only real way to waste tons of SP now is to do stupid stupid things. Almost all weapons are okay now except for the Sniper Rifles. You could get all frames (Light Medium Heavy) to V, which is a waste. Then go and get all Specializations to II (NO FARTHER) Max out Corp Skills Max out ADS skills (Bonuses aren't worth the SP anymore. 1.2mil SP for 3% ROF is a joke) Dropsuit Command V Dropsuit Upgrades V What else?...

I lay down some Proxies (Yeah i use those sometimes) fire one volley at him to remind him he missed me.
He come rolling up all hit n run BOOM
Then he comes back again but I've moved on a little further along the map.
One of my Proxies had not detonated when he tried the first time
+50 Proxie killGǪ same guy
Go over to see his LAV sitting there empty and only slightly damaged
also managed a few old school HAV kills and Knife the Turret taunts before blowing them up
Took out a few ADS and DSGǪ but they always bail before you can get them killed, or more than a few getting away. Interestingly though it is not a cue of soloing the ADSGǪ because other people are using SL now as well.

Apparently it has something to do with the disc drive. People are reporting that if there's no disc in it, their PS4 boots up fine but I don't know.

Hello
What kind of scout you looking at?
As you mention the resetGǪ How much SP will you be working with?
Always recommend Engineering, Electronics, Core, Damps, well any EWAR really, but Damps are a priority.

Garin Caldari wrote:I think the hardest part is that I am so new and the majority of the information is from years ago. I've been looking for basic skill builds to start with (eg the core, elec, eng recommendations) as well as scout specific stuff. I was able to find the Logi code post which had a skill progression for the first like 5 mil points or so. Is there anything like that for scouts in a handy dandy faq type read?
You can go so many ways with a scout suit it's hard to say what the best way to spend your SP on is, so we don't really have a clear cut example like the Logi Code.
Different suits kinda need different investments, and then different play styles require other investments. Really you need a feel for what you want to do, what is in your style.
A few things already mentioned
Core
Electronics
Engineering
Profile Dampening
These get you going
But how you spend on them depends on the suit you use
Min scout you need all the fitting abilities you can get your hands on
Gal/Amarr you have a lot more wiggle room for fitting
Cal/ is kinda in between
If you plan on Knifing or close quarters stuff you really need damps up pretty quick
Prioritizing your skills is dependant on what you are doing.
One thing i can safely say not to bother with is Armour and Shield base skills past 3. Not worth the SP/HP on Scouts.

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.

Actually I believe that he has mentioned running Gal Heavy though I don't think that is his only suitGǪ he has also indicated that he is aware that Heavies are over performing.

GR: Flux
Ambush. Hit the hills at start. Shoot and move. Eventually, someone comes looking. Usually pick 'em up before they spot me, thanks to Cal bonus and range extender. Time to cloak up for some sneak and peak. If he turns out to be a slow mover, I try my damnedest to shank him as he looks around for me. If fast mover (or constantly checking six), I try to escape/evade/relocate.
Lots of fun to stab a guy who thinks he's going to get an easy kill ... and the hatemail is delicious :-)
When out of ammo, I relocate, drop a hive, fill up then toss the fluxes 'til they pop my hive. Nothing screams "look around here for a sniper" like big, glowing deployables.
Not going to get tons of WP, but always tons of fun.
Edit: If OHK'd by counter sniper, I downgrade SR to Adv Tac (to save $) then get to hunting, which usually involves attempting to cross the map undetected and occasionally involves shanking the shooter :-). Sniper v Sniper is quite fun as a 250hp Scout ... just don't get hit!
I actually run sniper in a similar wayGǪ except I fit Proxies to eat up my hive and lay a surprise on some maps. lay a nest of Proxies and lol when the LAV corollas up to run me down. If I've moved on I occasionally get a +75 or +75 +50 +50

What is the risk currently for scouts dropping their cloaks to attack someone if they can often immediately recloak if their attack fails?
Sounds similar to the pre release cloak that was nerfed before it began. You could fire from cloak but it drained the cloak downGǪ nobody knows exactly what the drain level was beside "one Sniper Rifle shot would deplete it" so essentially one shot gun shot. Once depleted you could not reactivate cloak for the cool downGǪ or so the legends say.
I'd like to see how things change with Rattati's EWAR shake up and the 2 sec delay before I seriously consider anything else. If only because those are slated to happen soonish. Not that further ideas are not good to have incase those things don't have the desired changes. Although I think at this point so many people have different ideas on what the desired outcome isGǪ

Damage threshold would likely encourage more hp on a scout to keep you invisible under fire or alive while under fire
Personally I run pretty low on hp and the cloak does not keep me alive if I am under fire (some fits I have no hp mods at all) this would encourage me to put a hp mod on those fits.
If I get away from someone and around a corner it is likely that I am not cloaking up but rather keeping my weapon ready to hit shoved is left and coming after me.
Sorry if this sounds like a smarmy response typing on phone not my strong suit lol

(thanks, Cross)
In case you missed it:
Today's decloak-fire delay extension seems to have overwritten the previous instant-visibility-on-decloak fix. I can fire about 0.5 to 0.75 seconds before I become fully visible. Or so it appears on my screen.
Is this because of what Rattatti was explaining as reintroducing the decloak animation?
Adding the delay but also reintroducing the decloak animation was mentioned few times. Is the animation a slowdown to the dropping of cloak?
Or
Do you remain invisible if you are not movingGǪ much like the spawn invisibility. It stays for a few seconds if you don't move.

As much as we get frustrated at redline snipers putting some good areas open to sniping from the side of the map wouldn't be inappropriate. Went over to one place and realised that of the three levels of the facility I could only fire at people at one specific location for that entire region of the map.
Though watching ADS fly through the facility is pretty funny and kinda cool.
First time i that beast was a DomGǪ
So much fun running around in little mazes of doors and catwalksGǪ then i found this spot
Went back to it with a SRGǪ popping domes was great inside the socket.
It was level with the higher main routes that the reds were using. And since the blueberries were frontal on them they did not notice me right away. 18 headshots and then someone levelled a RR at me (yes it was close enough to be a problem)GǪ i just backed upGǪ activated inertial damps and was gone before they could sort out where I went
In other news I got a couple games in last nightGǪ
I don't mind this cloak change, but it is in line with the way I was using my cloak before.
Llast had a bad match, and a few good ones. Delay did not change much of anything for meGǪ still sucide run as much as before so
KelcGǪ I only got two matches in one Dom and one FW
Dom is pretty much hit and run outskirts fighting for me, mostly hacking and disrupting in a tightening spiral. Cloak works to cover those open areas, being slightly less visible helps. But I am only engaging when I have my back covered and people are not likely to see me anyway. If my knives had not been so hot they would have been dripping clone goo.
FW was a slaughter despite the Amarr side having a squad of Lord British. That squad put up a fight, but only for the first half of the match. Heavies in LAVs kept trying to take outside pointsGǪ I had a collection of three Red LAVs in front of my D at one point Hurt a HAV bad but not destroyedGǪ Proto Heavy got out to recallGǪ Core Flaylock kill at the end of the match 8 Knife kills 1 FlaylockGǪ I literally killed every Red that I saw. The only Blue I saw Shot me with a Militia Plasma CanonGǪ I don't even know whyGǪ if he was AWOXing he was doing it badly

OkayGǪ so a little intentional fiddling with the Cloak delay and different weapons got me somewhereGǪ but as usual raised more questions than answered
Observations
Switching to Automatic Weapons is affected more than single shot/semi auto weapons * unless charged
~ Reason seems to be that if you hold a trigger at or immediately after switching cloak seems to "lock" the weapon from firing.
~ spamming the trigger seems to side step this.
~ Shotgun, ScR (uncharged), Flaylock, ScP, Ion (uncharged), SMG, all get shots off sooner (seems to be before cloak drops but did not have 3rd person verification.)
~ Charged weapons suffer from the same "lock" as Automatic Weapons (Probably due to hold down non-spaming of trigger)
~Ion Pistol seemed to randomly charge as if I was holding the button downGǪ while I was not This might be a Ion Bug as I think it happened without using cloak onceGǪ Spade Looking at you to confirm
Other than that had some excellent matches
Frost Kitty pulled of an very smooth kill on me
I was running Code/Kinz with Precision on my Quafe and got scannedGǪ saw her coming so I bolted could still see her on my Tac chasing me down

Glad you're here. I would love your take on what Zatara's up to should you have a moment.
I have no clue. He's been busy with CPM things. I was on with him today, but we mainly talked PC stuff. I can look at what he posted and try to guess his mind, but that's all I can promise. Thanks, Ghost. Its on Page 5 and 6. In a nutshell ... * Continue with HP drawbacks (expected) * Buff MedFrame EWAR (expected) * Gift Scout Precision to Assault or Logi (surprise!) ... at least this is how I've interpreted him.
Essentially
Yes
though not concise in delivery this is what Zatara seems to be getting at, with a lot of Politico Pandering in the midst of it. This makes it hard for Zatara to be concise because the community is not unified on what the problem is, his responses simply are around what is believed to get the most support. So it seems to me.
If all of these things come in though what would that look like?
Also I am annoyed that Zat keeps going on about "scouts" when really it's about Gal/Cal scoutsGǪ please be specific as to what the problem is damn itGǪ but that does not appeal to the greatest number of people i suppose.
If we look at rebalancing any role in this game, we have to look at what is over performing and under performing and whyGǪ there are four variations of suits, not all are over performing and not all are under performing.
When Sentinels receive a rebalanceGǪ should they take a blanket hit? or should the over performing ones get looked at?
When Logi need a buffGǪ are they all performing the same? Likely not.
Zatara is looking at "fixing" one "problem" without addressing the problem itself, because it is not defined concisely.
This of course is not an uncommon approach, nor unique to Zatara

On the 5300 (7120 Shield EHP) buffer tank I often run in Pub Skirm and Ambush OS-whatchamacallit you can sit their and plink away at AV much more accurately than with a blaster or Missile turret though you risk blue dots nicking off with your tank.

If you follow through with the movement penalty process.
I may suggest that the first module in shields does not affect movement but each after that would.
Particularly if Reactive and/or Ferro will not give a penalty. Pure shield users do not have alternate options for adding HP.

I would rather see the penalty happen to just regular plates to start with rather than shield extenders and regular plates. Especially since pure shield tanking is not really viable outside of pubs at the moment. Doing regular plates only may actually encourage shield tanking a little more or people will just switch to ferro and reactives to avoid the penalty.
I think the reason behind including Shields in this was to discourage Duel Tanking.

This goes for Role Buffs and Nerfs, if one factional suit is doing much better than the others and you buff the role as a whole, we end up with the suit that was good before over performing, we nerf a role because one or two suits are over performing and the ones that war okay or under performing become way less viable.
Factions all function under different principle as well, and some aspects of the role lend well to functions. Look at Commandos, Min Commando does great at AV(better than most suits), should all Commandos take a nerf to AV (assuming it were OP) or should the Min be adjusted. Arguments could be made that they have OP Wallhacks with the new Vehicle detection rangeGǪ and Commandos should not get that crutchGǪ (No i am not seriousGǪ but one day someone will say it seriously)
Maybe sometimes we (Dust Community) should look at the bottom performer in the role and ask "is this working? Should we bring this up to the others or the others down to this? It may work better than nerf the role because XFaction is OP.

Looking through that thread, made me laugh a littleGǪ but it was a sad laugh
So much focus on this "fixing" scoutsGǪ and yes it is a good solution to brick tanking scouts. But even in the OP it is stated as to address scout super strafe and tone down SentinelsGǪ I wonder how many realize how much this will hit Sentinels, they are so focused on Scout and Calscouts, they seem to overlook how it changes things for ALL suits. Certainly some realize this, and even suggest just changing to db penaltyGǪ because that would hurt scouts and not assaults. Though that does not address the heart of what Ratatti was getting at with SentinelsGǪ so I don't see that happening.

I agree. Perhaps revert to the prior nerf, but make the kick a little less crazy. Kick wasn't that bad, then again I have fully maxed RR skills I have a petition to get the RR back to the prior nerf, maybe you could sign? Click here for the thread
I early use the RR, just not my style. I don't know how much the kick is now.
I was under the impression that they could adjust kick in HF or ADS separately, would it make sense to seriously reduce the kick when Aiming Down Sights?

Nobody but the courts, subjects and immediate families of those involved should interact with the case, period. Until we see some laws prohibiting the media's sensationalization of court cases (yeah right), this is going to keep happening.
I don't really have enough faith in the State for that to seem like a viable option.

That awkward moment when you're 'recruiting' someone with a view to collecting the entry fee and they ask what sexual orientation means.
I am distinctly unconvinced this fellow is 18. IF he is 18 I feel just a wee lil sad for him. X( I feel sad for him anyway. I was going to be all brutal and demand entry fees, then put him in a feeder corp with 50% tax, but I'm not sure I can quite bring myself to that. I'm laughing myself sick though.

Scrub sniper checking in! Its not the sniper that counts, with that many damage mods your tactical sniper is pretty good! Not Thale tier but is still pretty good. I used to use a tac on a medium with damage mods and could pull 30 kills with the standard =ƒÿÇ. Its mostly the user not the weapon. Also, 1k armor sentinel, damage mods, logo behind you with a defend order. Many lulz
I find I'm getting an average of 15 kills this way, probably because I spend so much time crossing large areas of land.
Closest kill has been 2m
On my Gal Scout, I use the same mobility theories, but pack an Ion pistol, Precision Enhancers and a TacAR instead of a SR.

Pretty clear on one thing though. If the values are moved forward as presented, then the Logi will replace the Recon Scout.
How so? Amarr scout looks to be exceptionally strong at scanning. Its scans are unavoidable while the logiscans can be avoided by all scouts. 18dB is all I need to keep my blob safe and Scouts honest. I can get 18dB from an AM Scout who can do little else but scan. Or I can 18dB from a Logi who generates constant WP, provides reps and EQ and revives and whatever else Logis do. Why would I ever field the AM Scout?
To stack HP and Assault

I usually just come from above... or below... or beside... anywhere you can run from.
I don't even know where to begin with this
Many people, particularly when they first start Knifing go for the Static style
Cutting up the stationary targets
Victims are Snipers, people hacking objects, standing in doorways (why they do this I will never understand)
Speed cutting is probably what I do mostGǪ Never stop moving. Around corners, off catwalks, constantly hunting people down. Damage is huge for this because It's not often you get a full charge hit. Lot's of run up beside and angle slashing. Quick turn for the hit after getting a bit in front of them. This requires using their field of view against them. People packing Plasma Canons are easy victims from the right side.
Raptor is a great move chasing down those suits who move fast, and are all alone. people know this one pretty well i think
Opportunist strikes are pretty common as well. This is just relying on stealth and victims simply being unaware of your presence. I think this happens a lot and is the natural progression from the hitting stationary targets. Many a Gal Knifer uses this technique, and can be accomplished without speed fairly easily in large socket settings.

Pondered the idea of removal of cloak bonus, and reduce the fitting cost to be accessible. (a cloak without Damp is limited in usefulness)
Replace Scout Suit Bonus with Damp Bonus
Give Cal and Gal different bonuses
????
Also thought drop cloak bonus, replace with Active Scanner bonus, thus tying scout play to recon and team play. Give Gal logi a passive scan bonus.
Just odd thoughts here though.

Arkena Wyrnspire wrote:On 'everyone needs the damp bonus'. If there is a problem with the base profile that means that all scouts need lower profile, then the base profile should be decreased rather than tacking on bonuses that only help vets. The scout is already painfully vet-oriented given that you need level 5 scouts to fit a cloak decently.
Well that is an interesting point, about the base profile.
And also true about Vet oriented class. Can't think of any other class where the bonus is actually meaningless until level V

Check either Downstairs or the off site facility for details.
And Duncan, I think you missed my point, somebody was shocked that people would think the Min scout is good, I was saying it is good despite what people here claim. Actually, I was shocked (O_O) that someone would say the phrase: "Nobody uses minscout just for the knives" The min scout is the best scout in my opinion because the satisfaction level is above and beyond anything else in this game. Adrenaline is OP. Edit: I also believe the min scout has plenty of fitting space, I never have trouble fitting anything I want. Might have to do with the fact I feel 1 enhanced shield extender is enough. If you max out skills fitting the Min is easier for sure, and currently the fitting space is about perfect for me. I have to make choices about fitting. I have all the scout suits on one account or another, fitting the other scouts is much easier, and i really don't have to make choices about fitting with them Min are in a much better place than they used to be. I am of the opinion that all suits should have to make hard choices in fitting. It shouldn't ONLY be about slots, pg and cpu need to mean something. Maybe my time in EVE made me feel this way, but I think the min scout is the most balanced and in tune with the New Eden philosophy.
I've not played EVE, and I feel the same way about fitting choices.

True
Generally I don't look at the Knife bonus the same as Damage Mods, because it only applies to one weapon, not all sidearms.

Vitantur Nothus wrote:Happy Holidays Bastards! Since we're in the Locker Room, thought I'd share with you guys the project I'll be working on today :-) Last month, the woman of the house decided that it was time to refinish our ancient and ill-weathered oak table. A test, no doubt, of this newlywed gamer's masculinity. Two weeks ago: The piece o' crap, stripped and sandedShe wanted a black stain. Researched a ton of different dyes, stains and "ebonizing" methods (iron acetate (rust+vinegar) is freakin' neat but looked like too much work). Opted to use India Ink; supposedly, this is what folks use to refinish/restore pianos. Last weekend (1st coat, India Ink) BaseTable TopTable Top ProfileThe wood absorbed much of the first coat of ink; got the look she wanted after second coat; applied a third to the table top for good measure. You can see the table and base at two coats in the sample images to follow. Next, had to decide on a finish; she wanted low gloss; we needed something which could withstand abuse. The table is to be positioned alongside a large window (UV) in our dining room (moisture, water rings, splashes, drops, writing, heavy use, etc). Narrowed options down to a few water-resistant products; started with the most durable of the three, a marine-grade spar varnish. Figured it best to test on samples before moving forward. Earlier this week (Sample) 1st coat spar varnish (wet)2nd coat spar varnish (partially dried)After a few days of curing, I beat the hell out of this poor sample. Hot coffee, ice water, writing, scratching, dropping plates, slamming bowls and beer cans. Unable to produce a water ring or streak, dent or scratch. Endured every form of future abuse I could conceive (bar chewing) and faltered only under extreme abuse. More than satisfied. Yesterday (1st coat, Spar Varnish) Base (partially dried)Table Top (partially dried)Applying second coat of varnish later today. We're traveling through the new year so it'll have plenty of time to off-gas before the third (and hopefully final) coat. Will follow up once complete come January.
Looking good.
Also I agree with most of your choices
I used to run the wood finishing devision of a paint manufacturing company for the interior of BC.
Couple warnings/things to note
Spar varnish will have a gradual colour change, likely nothing anyone will notice over time, but the top (higher light exposure) will not be the same as the base in at the long run.
Cross linked 100% solids coating would have been bulletproof and best colour stability, but damn that stuff is a challenge to work with.
Depending on how many coats of spar you plan to use, I would recommend using a high gloss for the next two coats. Sand at a 220 grit between coats and finish with two coats of low gloss. Higher durability that wayGǪ still would not chew on it through
Ink is awesome to work with. I also like alcohol spray stains, because they active a depth variation even on older hard woods. But you need a spray shop to get that on properly, and likely a licensed applicator depending on local regulations. (that **** goes BOOM real easy)
Keep us posted, I want to see the final pics

(that **** goes BOOM real easy) Keep us posted, I want to see the final pics Should've picked your brain sooner, Llast! May have just screwed up, but chose to sand using #0000 steel wool instead of 220 between varnish coat 1 and 2. I'd used 220 between coats up to this point, but opted against continuing with it when it left significant scratching in my sample's base coat of varnish. The #0000 left far finer scratches and kicked up a good 'bit of dust; I'm hoping these finer scratches provide sufficient "teeth" for a mechanical bond. The steel wool definitely cut through any peaks and/or raised grain as the surface was slick as ice when I applied the second coat of varnish (just finished): 2nd Coat Varnish, very wet BaseTableTable ProfileFYI: Brushing on McCloskey's Man o' War at 100% strength. Options 2 and 3 were Waterlox and Behlen Rockhard. There were a few extremely durable bartop products I'd briefly considered, but these were super glossy and she wanted as low gloss level as possible. Rockhard Tabletop was my first choice, but Behlen apparently tweaked their formula to comply with recent changes in VOC standards; the new stuff sounds like modified poly (I've never found poly to be durable).
VOC changes hit stability of products pretty badly in the case of clears.
#0000 is a beauty for smooth finish, on multi coat the 220 gives you the tooth for the first two coats and the last two go as fine as you can get your hands on. Keep a tac cloth handy. Got in the habit of avoiding steel when Waterbornes became the meta (VOC) GǪ Rust stains started cropping up in fine finishes
Teying to remember the eastern Canadian company that made a fantastic cross link polymerGǪ damn used to use their chemists for for sounding boards on tough problems. They had some nice tech in their productsGǪ
I've been out of coatings for about 5 years now.
Edit: the solvent in your product will re-bond and reconstitute most (non nasty)scratches in the first few coats. They will not show, in the long run. multiple light coats always better than a few heavierGǪ blah blah. I'd say minimum 4, but avoid going over the recommended film thinking by more than one coat. You will get hairline cracking in the long run. Fixable if it happens but a pain in the ass to do.

I take care of it at like 5 something in the game with an re of my own. The things don't show up when you ads on em. I have no clue if that re was basic, adv, proto because I don't recall the enemy getting a kill with them during the game. But I mean I looked at it within a few feet and then ran over it then looked at it again from a different angle. No clue what the scan profile is of remotes, I don't run precision mods on my suit. Personal preference I like it the way it is obviously. The things are easy to see on the ground, easy to hear when they are tossed (unless tossed from up high, wouldn't mind some kinda height limit or distance traveled limitation. the distance thing could screw with killing tanks though) and easy to destroy. 1 thing I don't really dig is standing up high (top of building, pipes) and dropping down water balloons on top of people. Is there some kinda way of limiting that I wonder. Yes I have done it, but I'd rather not being able to. There is zero danger to it.
Well that about sums it up for me too

You were absolutely right about the steelwool; sanded between coats using #0000 instead of 220/320; thinking the surface waviness has more to do with insufficient sanding between coats than brushmarks. Perhaps both. Battle PlanI intend to sand through as much of the surface waviness as possible. Hand sanded once with 220, wiped down with mineral spirits and sanded again with 320. I can now see the grain again. The waviness remains though it somewhat less pronounced. Intend to continue hand sanding at 320; thinking another pass or two should suffice. Just in case brushmarks are to blame for the waviness, I purchased a lambswool applicator yesterday. Thinking I'll thin my finish by 20% for a smoother application, then see how it looks in the morning. I'd like my topcoat to be full strength, but not at the expense of cloudy or -- heavens forbid-- gloppy finish. If it looks good after the 80/20 I might leave it at good enough.

Sorry for the delayed response
At work and it is insanity this week (sadly due to my profession when i say it is insanity i mean it literally)
On top of that I am starting a practicum, and a second position at my job all in the same week.
Part of that new job may require me to pick Void and Spade's brains a little but I'll leave that to the subbasement.
Okay to original challenge on the vertical surfaces could be caused by a few things.
- Sloppy brush work, or a shite brushGǪ because you are using spar I would recommend a high end natural bristle brush. meaning a real animal hair brush. Purdy makes a very nice one specifically for clears. more split ends on the brush the betterGǪ or go THE LAMBSWOOLGǪ. seriously that is awesome stuff. Used a lambswool mop for finishing my floorsGǪ gorgeous finnish.
-Recoat was to quickGǪ not likely the issue because you did not complain about tiny bubbles in the coating. (basing off gets trapped between coats.
-Possible that the temperature/moisture level affected your finish. Given that you were travelling and the project appears to be in the garage, regulating heat/moisture may have caused some issues. You would see no problem on the horizontal surfaces, but you would see sagging and possibly fogging on the verticals. Caught soon enough and you could have done a thinner wipe to help. But Spar is slow dry quick cure. (Waterborne are quick dry slow cure. Dry is tack free, cured is hardness.)
At this point it is elbow grease to get it all fixed up. I would sand and refinish with the lambswool. Best bet.
I should have recommended a sanding sealer from the start (or makeshift sanding sealer through 50/50 mineral spirits/Satin finish.
But i'm rusty.

CCP Rattati wrote:Backpedal speed, please explain in detail why it "needs" to be reduced.
Scouts do move faster than everyone else.
Well aside from the fact that moving backwards as fast as forwards does not make much sense, there are a few mechanical issues with it.
Most often around these parts we look at the up close and personal viewpoint, Knives and SG, because it is most appear ant in that range but it affects all engagements to a degree.
The fact that scouts are the fastest (except the Amarr scout who is a tad slower than the Min Assault I believe) gives us an advantage moving backwards (yes many of us don't believe that is fair) but it also proves how much of a problem it can be if we are out maneuvered by a back peddling heavy
Going to try my best to explain this without videoGǪ because no capture card.
1. CQC - Shotty and NK is trumped by even a RR as soon as the enemy starts to move backwards. Even as a Minja my forward movement does not cover 2m quickly enough to counter spool up time of the RR and full backwards motion of the suit using it. Now if they are using a weapon that requires no spool up I'm sure you can see how that would go. Yes you gain ground on someone slower than you but not fast enough that HP don't trump speed. (this may contribute to King HP, or simply be a symptom of it.) And yes I have back peddled and killed people with a PLC because I can back peddle out of my own blast radius
2. Long range - If I am at a distance I can take say a LR or RR and back peddle to stay in my optimum keeping my optimum time open for a very extensive amount of time. The faster my suit the better this is. An open area with no cover and a basic ability to lead a target means I win any engagement regardless of the speed of my enemy. Domination maps are a great place to try this one out. You can actually fry a squad if the have no cover or vehicles
3. Circle Strafe or Figure Eight Strafe - this is why it is the most effective form of strafing in the game. Because your backwards movement is the same as your forwards movement you have no need to compensate your aiming while your enemy is left to either do the same or try to out alpha damage you. In which case you are looking at them getting in close, which you can simply back up to delay their effective range.
Essentially if scouts have the best advantage through speed and we complain about this as a problem, should that not indicate it as an issue?
Anything else I may have missed, or anybody find this lacking in explanation or experience?

Nice to see you back
PLC is thoroughly enjoyable on a scout suit. Recommend running it with Kinz. (How is your Biotics looking?)
Laser Rifle is actually pretty good on the Amarr Scout, but the overheat is a brutal punch to low EHP. That being said I think you know how to handle overheat.
And as my focus is almost always SidearmsGǪ Flaylock manGǪ Flaylock.
If you want to go Massdriver on a scout suit, Sinboto is a better person to talk to. I do it but not nearly effectively. Still prefer Knives and Flaylock

If you want an example, simply walk around you room. You walk backwards at a reduced rate to forward. They never changed the walking rates in the barges or rooms.
Check that out and let us know what you think. I still stand on the grounds that I don't want them coding on this issue (Non-Issue). I will make a post below this one to get people back onto the cool idea that has been kicked around in this topic.
MQ backpedal speed sure does feel ridiculously sluggish. Jeez. You'd think they'd have had the foresight to code it more flexibly than "choose between 100% or ridiculously sluggish" ...
If i recall correctly the backwards speed was actually decreased further in WB at one point (1.3?)
The reason i remember this is because a couple of threads popped up with people complaining their WB molesting was nerfed.

I frequently run kin cats because I find the new scan range stuff a bit meh and armor plates don't really fit my style much (I'm trying to avoid being seen in the first place, not too great at it yet but every death I get a little better). I've dabbled a little into each weapon but never highly. I'm looking for something that can deal high alpha against just one or two targets, and then be ready to strike back if they respawn. Keep in mind most the time I'm running with base HP (x1.25) so I'm really skeptical of say the mass driver or flaylock which seem much more attrition like. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong. And I guess attrition isn't necessarily bad.
I'm mostly running Min Scout bare HP with a Breach or Specialist Flaylock trust me when I say I'm not using it as an attrition weapon

That sounds odd, but what if all the Assault suits got a plus to a module they are dependent on? Amarr could get a bonus to armor, Caldari a bonus to rechargers, Gallente a bonus to armor reppers and Minmatar a bonus to shield extenders. Would really help them out.
I think they are on the rise already though. I don't know the numbers though. If they need another boost I would rather see a tweak to the existing racial bonuses for the lower performing factions. Failing that I think your idea has merit.

All got healthy boosts in the last balance hotfix and it clearly shows, just maybe not enough. If Assaults had one more bonus it would change everything. That sounds odd, but what if all the Assault suits got a plus to a module they are dependent on? Amarr could get a bonus to armor, Caldari a bonus to rechargers, Gallente a bonus to armor reppers and Minmatar a bonus to shield extenders. Would really help them out. I think they are on the rise already though. I don't know the numbers though. If they need another boost I would rather see a tweak to the existing racial bonuses for the lower performing factions. Failing that I think your idea has merit. They are in a great state. The only thing that will be happen is inter Assault balancing.
Good to hear
Now can you tell people that just because you are vaguely considering something it does not mean that the entire development team pulls up everything they are working on to look at that one thing
People listen to you
You are kind of a big deal

Poor Aero. I've seen Aero fighting in AFW. (Who I still have 11k LP and am still not sure who to side with.) He was in a HAV, I hid behind a red's LAV hoping he didn't just destroy it. I realized it was him and began jumping to catch his attention. The funniest part is in the end he never killed me, a BrAR assault did. (This was in BrAR514 :p)
Aero is one of those fun opponents. I used to run into him some times, and they were always good matches with good interplay.
When on opposing teams we seem to have the same ideas, because we run into each other in the strangest places.

Second, I always go isk positive. Always. I've never understood how people struggled with ISK. I wasn't here for the Uprising refund, and PC has been a total net loss. All my ISK has been running pubs. I was a hardcore ISK saver, saved up 100mil just grinding pubs alone over 4 months.
I burn ISK in FW
Used to play it before LP existedGǪ it was better then. Matches were really fun and not as hard to instigate. Though I like the LP now, and loved the introduction of Friendly Fire, I don't like the way it is used as a farm LP or as a "PC Training" concept.
I think Adamance and I are on the same page for this. If you are familiar with his disappointment about FW then it is about the same as mine.

Never really understood the point of hoarding ISK.
10 mil is a good safety net incase I get the urge to do incredibly dumb things (this happens a lotGǪ i like fun more than being Gud) And really don't see a point to holding on to imaginary money, it does not make me special or make the game more enjoyable to have a stockpile.

I don't know how much you know about it, but the gist of it is there's a lot of new content coming in the form of warbarges and PC changes. It looks like it's gonna be a doozy, so it'll probably be quite a bit longer than most of the patches have taken. I predict it'll arrive mid to late February. These are the ideas on the table currently: WarbargesSalvageSkill point award changesReduced squad size/platoons and what have youPost-proto weapon archetypes (FW and Warbarge rewards)Vehicle changesThose are the major upcoming changes. Comparatively minor things to look out for are marketplace improvements, tweaks to salvage/strongboxes/ISK rewards, myofibril stimulators giving bonuses to jump height (possible), backpedal penalty (unlikely), and a recruitment tool. Thanks for this, great info, I haven't been keeping up to date on what all this new 1.0 stuff is....and wow there's a lot to take in there. Phase 1 Merc barge - Experimental Laboratory - creates a random number of weapons, up to officer but also new Experimental weapons, meta level 9, better than proto, need level 5 primary weapon skill. I want a "Mr Musturd" module to plug into this to make me Nothi Knives instead of random. Holy crap though - CCP are seriously looking at massive additions. It looks like they're trying to reboot planetary conquest. What the hell....anyone noticed that we are firmly on the "we can also do server-side changes now" roadmap? Maybe I missed that detail. Now I think I know where Iggy's bastard barge talk has come from. Hell yeah I'm on board that barge haha. Reserve me the cannon fodder quarters.
I don't know if the return on Nothi Knives would be worth the cost of clones trying to keep mr mustard in the sweatshopGǪ every escape attempt would cost you hundreds if not thousands of clones

With two Enhanced Damage Mods (might be one basic and one enhanced can't remember the fit I used exactly) I can stand in front of a wall and shoot itGǪ the splash does not kill my basic Minja. But if I recall correctly it does more direct damage than the Core Flaylock.

With Scanning changes, they became less effective, but I want all styles, even niche, to be able to flourish if they want to. It's not my personal style, but I appreciate it and get killed by novas every 10 battles, maybe. Stats say the same. We should be proud of our NKers if anything. I tend to think "good kill", versus "**** you" for most other kills.
Fair enough
@Void
Dude I can back peddle out of my own PLC blastGǪ That is not right in my opinion.
As an alternative to slow back peddle I would think killing instant directional change (100% to 100% instant movement) would have the same effect. Death of the wiggle wiggle in all directions would probably make more people happier.

How did you arrive at this figure and why do you think it is fair and reasonable ?
It's like twenty questions tonight : ) It was just a guestimate. There is no way for us to know how each will play, so we discussed and came up with a moderate number that can either be further reduced if it wasn't enough, or increased if it was too much. I think the general consensus was that backpedal should be 0.8 for starters, and then adjusted accordingly.
0.8 was the number I tossed out awhile agoGǪ It seems reasonable
Still stand by the idea of non-instantaneous movement reversal would benefit the game more as a whole.

Had a PLC duel last nightGǪ That was awesome
Llast vs MinAss and we were CQC Plasma Canon duelling. So much funGǪ then Proto Breach AR messed the whole thing up. Both of us kept up the PLC for the match and exchanged a few long distance shots but never got the duel back in place.

I judged you for being a filthy poor and now I am judging you for being a terrible cannoneer. I am disappoint. The difference between a standard placon and a fully specced Galmando allotek is vast and glorious. Neither of them can kill a Gunnlogi unless it's bad though.

Just now I should've had the minmando...should've had him dammit. I screwed up...he was launching schwarmas....I flanked him, he moved backwards, I missed a swipe, he pulled out his other weapon and ended me. If I'd attacked from the rear, been more patient, it might've gone differently. If I'd kept closer to him...anticipated a surprise and been ready for it....it might've gone differently.
I don't know if it's luck, my following Arkena's gal guide and getting some better situational awareness, or what, but I'm doing pretty good with em the last few days. I took three mercs out inside 3 - 4 seconds just now. Yeah two were hacking but still. No other weapon will let you kill that fast.
Several weeks back I did a double-kill on two mercs - got congratulatory mail for that one from both victims.
Also agree with Mollerz...really gotta use protos - need that alpha. That said, if you're learning how to use em, then perhaps you would use something cheaper to get a feel for how they work, how the fights work, all the different dynamics before expecting to kill with them. I guess that might make sense. But you should not be expecting to stay alive with anything less than ishnoks imho. Personally I won't run em on anything but a minja, but others have had success in different suits.
Oh **** yeah and I also shot a LAV driver out of his wankmobile with a PLC today too. I love it when that happens. I've now killed drivers in LAVs with forge gun, shotgun, nova knife, and now the PLC. Someone here did it with flaylock recently (caught on tape too) - I guess that's next HAHA.
Anyway I had a blast as you can tell. PLC and NKs are now my favourite weapons. Moreso than my beloved Scrambler Pistol, may her nerfed RoF forgive me.
PS. re: knife alpha: obviously that fatty that killed Spade with MLT knives is an outlier.

I made it my quest, if you will, to add good gameplay, fix long standing issues, work with the community and keep DUST 514 open while our players stick with us. Fixing performance is at the top of our list, now that Warlords is out, and we are even considering moving out any new development back, such as PC 2.0, for the sake of a few frames, which includes a new way of rendering skins, level lighting and the whole chat/voice code.
And honestly, everyone can drop the tinfoil hats, there are no ex-EA execs breathing down my neck, twisting my arm to monetize. I am tasked with making a "normal" profitable ans sustainable game-as-a-service, covering costs and a bit more. Just take a look at PS2 and Smedley's statements on its profitability to see that this is a tough industry. We are very proud of the way we have been gradually improving and we are doing all we can to not make DUST514 P2W.
sadly unfolds tinfoil and places it back into the cupboardSorry if I came across as being accusatory. It's just that we've been put through the wringer with Dust in the past so I want to make sure I've got all my bases covered. Good to hear that performance is being worked on though! I'm a little disappointed that PC2.0 is being pushed back but I think in the long run this is for the best. I get the feeling that there are one or two deep-rooted issues that have been causing the performance problems and resolving them might lead to a big increase in performance, I hope that's the case.
suspect that the chat/voice code changes will fix a lot of the performance issues
I strongly associate lag with people on coms. Just my experience forever in this game.

Mainly because i've been fooling around with NK fits on my gal scout and the bonus to gal scouts is really ****** since the EWar changes combined with heavies surviving a blow of my charged proto NK's. So more of a pub fun fit. Only had time for two quick matches and they were not on the best maps for NK's. As often happens with NK's my KDR took a bit of a hit. Initial Impressions:
- Like the speed I got with two kincats (slightly faster then my gal scout fitting); however, the big diff is I really notice the stamina recovery versus the gal scout.
- Didn't really notice the diff of not having a complex dampener on (gal scout has one) but that could have been who i was fighting. I did get scanned once which was annoying.
- I've heard everyone ***** about PG issues, but WTF it's worse then I thought if you want to have KC's on it and you're running an advanced dropsuit with proto NK's. Fitting it was really hard.
- Debating only having one KC and putting a Complex dampener on to free up some PG. But i like the speed with a NK fit. (despite it getting me killed more often then not)
If I remember back to my impressions picking up Minja again after running cal/gal scout pre-1.8 - yeah the stamina thing is the most noticeable I would say. Of course the NK damage too - you won't often OHK a heavy - I think even a basic heavy can easily run over 1150 HP (charged NKs, both swipes hit). But most other suits are going down. I run advanced mostly too - I have three fits, one has 2x KC, one has KC + PD, one has KC + Ferros. Yeah I can't get enough of the speed either - 2x KC is my favourite as long as not getting scanned too often. Yeah, the stamina recovery diff and PG issue seems to be the main differences for sure. I guess it made me finally take off that damn cloak though, no way i was going to be able to fit it. I hate the cloak in it's current form yet still have it on tons of fits (who knows why). Edit: I think i have the cloak because once in a while it's useful (climbing ladders, crossing big open spaces, getting me killed when i have it out yet am not cloaked but for some reason can't change back to a weapon). That and for the life of me I can't figure out what to replace it with. Put an advanced active scanner on one fitting but never really liked them.
I've doubled down on RE on some fits
Others I put a rep tool for random acts of repping

Really?! That's just sad. Suit - Movement, SprintAM Assault - 4.80, 7.07 GA Assault -5.00, 7.35 CA Assault - 5.00, 7.35 AM Scout - 5.25, 7.72 MN Assault - 5.30, 7.79 CA Scout - 5.45, 8.01 GA Scout - 5.45, 8.01 MN Scout - 5.65, 8.31 * Looks like MN Speed might've been an error. Base movement of 5.20 fits the progression and fixes the overlap. Either way, there's a 200% base HP gap between Scouts and Assault; you'd think the speed gap between Light and Medium be a little wider.
I think Min Ass and Amarr Scout should flip speedsGǪ anything wrong with this "simple" solution?

So, I'm getting the Amarr Scout - is that a good idea? and if so, why? If not, why also?
I've used it a fair bitGǪ I have all the scout suits.
It's not a bad idea
As a ranged scout you have durability. ScR is great on it, if you have the discipline to not overheat. Being an experienced Amarr player I am sure you have your own ScR style down. Not sure if you are the Spam that Trigger style or not. If you make proper use of range and charge shot though it is pretty solid on the Amarr Scout.
Health is decent. Some say it is not a huge difference, but relative to scout health it is not terrible.
Tacnet is pretty lame on the range right now, which softens the Precision bonus, even with Range Extenders on. Logi are now the EWAR suit simply by virtue of range and slots.
StaminaGǪ I've seen so many mixed opinions on this. Personally I find the Stamina bonus to be great. Acrobatics are not the strength of the Amarr Scout (Stamina Regen of the Minja is more appropriate for jumping and getting to sneaky places), however you are using Stamina to be where you have the advantage. Ranging around your main force offering that supportive flank, distant uplink or otherwise dictating engagement. Also when you full run out to somewhere you are usually not out of stamina at the destination, whereas your Gal or Cal scout has no more Stamina left. That means they are not in the position to hop around, and are less likely to be able to effectively disengage. This has won me a few fights to be honest. Throw a Kin on and it amplifies the effectiveness of said tactics.
Fitting space is actually very good. But I am used to tighter fitting on my Minja (which is in a decent fitting place now but for a long long time was not)
As a unit supporting scout the Amarr Scout is very good. Use ranged combat to your advantage and it is fine independent of a unit. Could you use another suit to do the same thing, probably. A lot of the time you could accomplish a lot of the same things with Amarr Logi (Scanning) or Assault(Combat), but each would be more specialized to said roles. as others have said Amarr Scout just seems to be missing a specific purpose.

So, I'm getting the Amarr Scout - is that a good idea? and if so, why? If not, why also? It's not really a bad or good idea. As a scout it'll do what you want, it has that role. It's just when compared to the other scouts it's a bit lost. The stamina is good in theory, but I'm not sure it'll do much for you in practice. Also note that you'll be slower and squishier than a Minmatar Assault. Agreed with Spade. The AM Scout currently has no "best at" function. GA is best at sneaking. CA is best at scanning. MN is best at hacking/slashing. GA, MN Scouts and MN Assault are all better at running. If you're looking for a tanky Scout, the MN Assault is the best option and the GA Scout the 2nd best. I suspect the AM bonus to precision will eventually be changed to something else (hopefully fun) ... wouldn't recommend investing your SP in it until that time. Bonus to Myofs when they get the bonus to jumping. Move like there's no gravity.
That would be pretty cool.

The match began in classic Scotty fashion, so I pulled out the Dragonfly Uplink fit and ran. Ran away in more-or-less in big circles, as the blob killed all behind me. Always one Uplink ahead of the next reaping. By match end, I was one 5 guys remaining.

it's a sad fact that if running uplinks, or better yet Logi, being on the stomped team is the most profitable.

Amarr is the one that really needs help as it has no role. True, perhaps Amarrian needs to get rid of its EWAR bonus and increase its stamina bonuses.
Increased Stamina will not really help. Only because stamina caps out in usefulness, unless we make changes to how stamina affects gameplay.
1. Stamina should be the first "Health Bar" to take damage from falling
2. Change how much Stamina is depleted from jumpsGǪ Currently it takes about 1/3 of you bar to jump (regardless of how high the stat is). This was implemented to counter hipity hopy hit detection issues or something like that, so changes to this would need to be carefully implemented.

Aye
It does excellent with that aspect now though, so either changes to how existing stats work or a whole new bonus may be in order.
Another option would be to increase Range Extenders effectiveness to make the precision bonus cover a useful area, and/or one of the stamina changes.
Personally I think range extenders are almost useless in their current form, and Fall damage needs a looking at so I lean towards those changes.
As a note I run all four scout suitsGǪ Amarr is in the worst place, but is not as bad off as the Minja once was. It is a closer fix to balance at this point in the game than we have ever seen. Or so I see it.

Bullet slowdown made being a fast suit with low EHP essentially useless. Couple that with permascanning and Installations that gave away your position to everyone

For instance it would go 20/30/40 percent less shimmer on the cloak. I mean they are called "dampeners." If the shimmer effect were a mathematical progression with parameters defined in a database, those parameters could be tweaked for more or less shimmer. I don't think that this is the case; I suspect that the shimmer effect is hardcoded and beyond Rattati's reach. Your idea -- shimmer quality derived from scan profile -- is fantastic, but I don't think it is feasible.
Trello has the Active Damper variant of the cloak still, no?
Now this could be an on/off coding to the shimmer but I suspect it is on a dial. That is only based on vague recollection of cloak discussion long ago, and may relate more to how memory can construct shite.

Not going to lie 80% was my hope, but I am going to guess that Rattati tested these out along with jumping height, and concluded that 90% would work.

Thanks. Should I buy an additional 10k Aurum for whatever
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

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?
Play co-operativly, not competitively?
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

Please keep the feedback coming, Varoth. 1. Probably best to look at buffs then, rather than complete changes. Best to try fixing range amps first though. Are Amarr scouts really that bad? Different scouts don't really have / need drastically different roles. They just do the same thing, scout, in slightly different ways. 3. Range amps still need fixing. I think they should only work on the larger scan circles to prevent the issues you bring up. 4. It's a combination of many factors, cloak blind being one. The slayer migration was (reasonably) gradual.
Buff Range Amps and that buffs Amarr scout to a good placeGǪ or so I believe. The reason the precision bonus is not so helpful is range is not so good. Fix this and I think Amarr scout would be in a balanced place.
AlsoGǪ I would like to see the Tacnet fixed so that the "new" suits did not show up as a V that tells everybody which way they are facing.

Something to consider
Right now is the 5 million clone challengeGǪ it means that many many matches are filled with people running some hard fits and doing their best to kill everyoneGǪ This is not a good time to be a new player. You have not the SP for passive buffs to your suit and likely don't have the same survivability.

I hit the drive through socket with the CRU.
Hack it
See another Minja coming to get me. He just spawned before I got the hack complete.
Knives out for both of us

This is a bad idea. Equipment on a heavy?! Prefer them left eith none. Fair point. Something else for the basic heavy frame.
I would be okay with Heavy Frame being the partial ground between Commando and Sentinel.
Light Weapon
Sidearm
EQ slot
Grenade
Remains slow.
Sentinel dominates the Heavy Weapon, and has Resistances but drops the EQ
Commando path focuses on the Light Weapon progression and DPS, slight speed increase, but drops the Grenade

Also, sad to say, but I'm not leaving FA. I will retire in this corp. No doubt. But that doesn't mean that can't want you. It's more of a nod to your being an Original Bastard. If there are other OBs out there who are still active in game and on the forums, let me know and I'll add 'em. * Note to self: Add Quil.

That's something totally different. New scanning mechanics (falloff) were added in December. If you're within 5m of a merc, there's a good chance you're on that merc's TacNet. If he's running a precision enhancer, he'll pick you up no matter how dampened you are. (Falloff table on Page 1) AW WHAT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SUPER MAN PUNCH RED DOTS LIKE THAT :( This is the reason shotguns haven't been hurt near as badly as knives. Screw knives, I've been having trouble just punching people all day. On that though, what's the likelyhood of getting the min scout's role bonus switched from knives to melee?
Min have Melee bonus built inGǪ 120 base damage compared to 80 of other scouts.
Knives are still better if you are that close though

Because it's Nova Knives. It's a sidearm that OHK most thing without the bonus. The bonus is actually moot. a ROF on a family of light weapons on scouts would see the complete destruction of both assaults and commandos. People do not take damage buffs lightly. Right now, TTK is low enough that alpha is king, this is what makes assault rifles still slightly underpowered compared to other rifles, and why the TAC AR is the most popular AR. It's never a DPS war until it's heavy on heavy, each with their own logi repping. This is just my opinion on the situation.
I'm with you on this Kaeru
Pretty much my line of thinking as well.

It complements stealth play perfectly in concept; just needs a little polish. But what is wrong with allowing any suit to use it? Bring the CPU/PG down on ALL cloaks by 75% so that you don't have to be level 5 to really fit a cloak without gimping the scout fit. Let other roles try a cloak on if they so choose. I'm fine with an assault using a cloak with damps, more diversity is fine by me (plus less hp mods then). Cloak was intended to set Scouts apart; we'd hoped that it would be built into the suit. Instead, we got two equipment slots; one for cloak and another for filling a battlefield role. If cloak no longer sets Scouts apart, what will? If clock no longer sets Scouts apart, how would we justify having 2EQ slots?
Cloak diminishes even more in value if your profile is higher.
Scouts would still be in a better position than others to use them if Role bonus were changed to Profile Dampener Efficacy.
We would still need to look at the existing suit bonuses for Gal/Cal if that change were made.

You should try it. I'll bet you miss your first 100 attempts with both. Agreed. It's not even a consideration. Even if I get/got one I wouldn't even know the difference. It doesn't trigger the head gong (unless something changed) and they were dead either way. I never get the headshot gong anymore. I get plenty of +60 headshots though. Also have got a lot of +60 headshots and watched someone revive them.
No +60 on Knives, Flaylock, Breach FlaylockGǪ Actually tested these specifically.
Though I don't remember if there was an efficiency increase on Knives when lined up. The Breach certainly reads higher efficiency you can even point blank em in the head because the splash is so low

0 PG and better than the standard flaylock. I use the standard flaylock as much as possible, but I agree with you, the 0 PG specialist is a must for certain fits. Only having 3 in the clip has hurt me at times, though. Llast swears by the breach flaylock, I wish I had his godlike aim !! For the Basic Minmatar Scout M-1 that I posted, though, cost efficiency is a big part of the reward of using it. A specialist weapon tends to be disproportionately expensive compared to the rest. The fit I suggested, with standard flaylock and compact nanohive costs only 26k ISK.
I would not call my aim godlike
I've died more than a few times from missing the shot.
Way back in this threadGǪ way way back is a post about me improving my gun game through knifing.
I've never been good with full auto weapons. I can't Spray n Pray, and I can't maintain sustained fire. I started using the Breach ScP after months of running just Knives. It was a way of countering Backpeddle. I learned that Knifing had improved my patience and ability to line up a shot. The Breach Flaylock became a natural progression. It's High Alpha on the direct hit made it an ideal choice for my style and skill level. I can land two successive shots pretty easily but anything else and I can't maintain a sustained hit ratio on a target.

Bleeding out your opponent~
Consider this: when you are bleeding out, the game takes that time for your next uplink deployment. As such, someone who waits a little bit after dying, before picking a place to spawn, often only has to wait 3 seconds to spawn in, regardless of uplink quality. This is not the case if you bled out immediately upon death. Meaning no matter how much time passes before picking a place to spawn, you'll have to wait anywhere between 10~15 seconds to spawn in. Very painful.
So if you are carrying a flaylock, and see a teammate get a nice kill with their fine rifle, or you get a nice double kill with nova knives, add to the ennemy's frustration and tap them with a friendly flaylock explosion. No aiming required. If their ragdoll moves, they will have to wait the full extent of their deployment AFTER picking a place to spawn. This is really useful when clearing an objective in skirmish that also has a CRU nearby.
Oh this is really good info
Something I have completely overlooked.
Thank you

Llast swears by the breach flaylock, I wish I had his godlike aim !!
For the Basic Minmatar Scout M-1 that I posted, though, cost efficiency is a big part of the reward of using it. A specialist weapon tends to be disproportionately expensive compared to the rest. The fit I suggested, with standard flaylock and compact nanohive costs only 26k ISK.
Did something change? I thought all flays had a 3 rnd mag, aside from the breach with 2. it's the max ammo you can carry is less. But if it let's you pack a compact nano then it's a good trade IMO.

A few patches ago, they buffed all the sidearms in hopes of making them all as good as the SMG. The flaylock got more damage and 4 round clip standard. Militia and Specialist are now the only ones left at 3.
Breach is a two clip

Breach can take out LAVs if you flux em. Sends ADS scurrying for safety and can cause panic in HAVs if you nail em in the soft spot while their shields are down. (HAV results vary depending on Pilot Experience)

Enhanced Shields aren't bad anymore, and they free up alot of space. I run 'em on my most of my advanced loadouts (as well as a few assault and scout mk.0 loadouts). So 3x E is better than 2x C now? Both in HP and CPU/PG? Doubt it. Just easier to fit, and not as weak in terms of payout (something like -15hp from complex). Protofits.com has the numbers :-) Who needs HP anyways amirite

Been running mostly no HP mods since before Echo. It's making me play smart.

I have it recorded I believe. I recorded many matches last night in hopes of being able to share one today. Llast, you honestly won that engagement, I don't know why I got you in the end. If you guys see me in game, please don't try to instigate a knife duel. A real knife duel happens just as it does in Duncan's video, before you even know there is another scout with knives, someone should be dead. Forcing it is artificial, and honestly, I want each person to go all out and use absolutely whatever they can to beat me down every time. Anything less is lack of respect. With that said, I am disappointed with myself, I was going to flaylock your alt, Llast, but you were in a basic caldari scout.. with Nova Knives. Thinking this was an up and coming knifer I told myself: "Maybe just this once...". And put the flaylock away. Then we both missed, and I thought I was dead ! The outcome was very random.
Oh I did try to beat you down
My backup weapon on that fit was a MagsecGǪ not a great weapon against a fast suit in CQCGǪ great against armoured Med A CQC MinjaGǪ I'd never even get it warmed up.
That account just hit 10mil sp so it is kind of a new KniferGǪ except I have my years of knifing experience behind it.

It would make for an interesting research area for sure.

My suggestion would be to have a few similar fits with different tiers of cloak to pull out if you need that extra Damp.
Because I use cloak time so sparingly the extra run time of a Proto Cloak is not worth it for me.

I am playing waaaaaay more text book in this match. You might see a few differences compared to the other one you commented on (very appreciated !). That last spawn in.. I went there because you just hacked it, not knowing it was you. I was surprised to land on the roof, didn't realize that's where the uplink was. Regardless, I knew since there were no blue or red dots and the virus was uploading that a scout was lying in wait. Anyone who hacks that point ALWAYS hacks the supply depot on the second floor. That's why I stayed up there, watching, even though I was losing the last objective. Lucked out when you pounced on the next dot that ran by ! POCKET ROCKETS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny thing is I was hacking the SD so I could restock Fluxes to get rid of that Link. It was buried in the rooftop and I need more Flux to get it out. The Heavy dropped in and I went for him first.

I had never heard of it.. mostly when us Calis hear BC we think Whislter/Blackcomb.. which is not doing well I heard last. haven't kept up however. I'll be tucking this one in my hip pocket. I always thought it would be cool to hit Canada all the way up to Alaska at some point.
My lil Bro was one of the main chefs up there for a long timeGǪ he ived on the mountain. He has some connections up there still And his knowledge of the mountain staggers me.
Whistler took a hit this year pretty hard.
Sun Peaks has some nice runs to it and beautiful areas. And the powderGǪ. not much like it. We see a lot of Europeans, and Aussie tourists in the winter.

Nah, I almost never run Proto unless I am in FW. If i bring Proto in Pubs it's to specifically harass Proto Squads when my team is mostly new players.

I did it so I can get 5 million SP away from stuff I wasn't using. What's the point in having SP in things you'll never use? Now I can put it in things I already use or something I want to try out. You know how long it takes me to get 5 million SP? I just saved like two months time. Edit: Sh!ts still overpriced.
Agree it is overpriced.
And i can see how that would be beneficial to move that 5mil sp. That's a good chunk.
I don't think I have that much that i feel needs changing.

If I had more SP honestly I wouldn't have bothered. But unlike shotty we don't all have 80 million SP. I have a tiny 35 million so I have less room for waste.
You are still 14 mil over my highest SP character

I'm bad at being evil, I'm the kind of guy that tells his evil plot thinking that I've won and the hero escapes and ruins it. *Ahem* No longer active in FW. I was basically the Caldari Infantry's backbone, and when I took a break after being pissed off by 13 of my team defending the Gallente nothing happened and people moved to GFW for the APEX. Now there are about 1/2 people still active. Also, Flay, and Llast, what good would spying do? You seem to take pride in fighting the few and usually winning (With the help of sabotage.)
I barely ever FW anymore. It lost it's fun when it became so lopsided. I used to go there looking for good fights. I enjoyed it back in the day. Actually I had a lot of fun when PIE was so active and they pushed back for a bunch of districtsGǪ because it was a challenge again. Sadly the Cal never managed that kind of resistance. I don't like the way FW has just turned into a Q+X=Win.
Never been accused of being proud of anything except my death record

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. This is my general sentiment for video games as a whole. I have way too many things I want to devote time towards to be really good at many games. Also, as you get older, you suddenly have more things on your plate whether you want them or not.

The mroe Zatara campaigned, the more found myself second-guessing this initial impression; two weeks prior to the elections, I scratched out the above line and moved Zatara from "No" to "Undecided". When Arkena asked what prompted the change in tone, I did not respond. What happened was that a campaigning Zatara convinced me that he could keep his ego in check, actually listen to people, and not behave like a child tyrant. He campaigned well and campaigned convincingly. Seems he sincerely tried for awhile following the elections, but eventually his true colors began to bleed through.
No, Duncan, I am not surprised. And I'll be more inclined to trust my instincts next election when candidate tones begin to change. Better to place weight in past behavior than promised behavior. Exactly. you failed voter 101. You need to ignore everything a candidate has done after they have declared that they are running for office. Because they will always, always, revert to form, once elected. But, but but.... I put up information on how to contact me... if that's ignored how will I fulfill my role? (Okay, yes, my quips aside support or lack thereof is best based on the broad scope of someones behavior and actions because regardless of sincerity or intent behavior patterns are after all patterns and if one has previously assessed the patterns to be something they don't support giving a substantial lead time before assessing that a new pattern has overwritten the old one is likely well advised.) Hopefully this same reasoning will save me if I ever get into a kitteny mood and let it spill onto the forums (On a related note if I ever do that remind me to get my head on straight, even if something is upsetting that is - in my estimation - no reason to be overtly emotive about it. At minimum such dramatics are ineffective more often than not, and at worst are detrimental in a more general sense.)
CrossGǪ You are performing your role as CPM pretty much how I expected you wouldGǪ. Very well. In fact you exceed my expectations in many ways.
The CPM are pretty much behaving along the lines of how I thought they would according to my impressions of each. A few exceptions of course. SMB seems to be doing a lot behind the scenesGǪ which I suppose is in line with the fact that he was not the most visible during the elections. Give em' a Redjar from me And while i did not predict the circumstances around the Removal IncidentGǪ I did expect some form of hilarity around that memberGǪ not disappointed.

If the bonus is to all three Biotics modules it stands a a bit much in my opinion. Bonus to melee, jump, sprint speed, stamina cap, and stamina regenGǪ seems like a lot. Amarr scout is not so UP as it seems. I honestly think that if scan range was still at 20m Amarr scout would be very solid.

After much frustration with tanks, i have a new tank busting fit which actually works sometimes (if i make it to the tanker before infantry gets me).
Advance Gal Scout
- Adv PLC
- Adv packed AV grenades
- K/5 Nanohive (or basic, can't remember)
- Adv Cloak
- enhanced shield extenders
- complex ferro/reactives
The key is to cloak up and race for the tanker. Uncloak near him and toss as many AV grenades as possible, finish him with a PLC shot. Although PLC is better vs shields you want to open up with the AV grenades before the hardeners go up and he backs away from you. The PLC shot is to finish him when he's out of range of grenades.
- could you maximise your chances by first attaching a couple of REs to the hull? Or is that too much risk and loses your chance of lobbing the nades? Then you can detonate the REs after the PLC option is out. REs went out with bandwidth, 3REs and AV grenades were my old tank busting fit. But with the bs on deployabkes for scouts vs say an assault or commando you can't deploy 3 in an advanced scout suit. Plus now you're very unlikely to set them off before hardners are out on by the tanker making them doubly ineffective. You also need that cloak to get in close to the tanker before he ion cannons you and the nano hives are a must to restock AV grenades.
I've had success with 2 RE on the sweet spot, Flux and finish with PLC, using my Gal. On my Minja I have to get in and finish with KnivesGǪ or Breach Flaylock in the sweet spotGǪ This only works of poorly fit HAVs

Had one Acquisition match that was so terrible. Bridge mapGǪ one spawn pointGǪ started with 10 v 14. As soon as they took the bridge my team rapidly left battle.

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.
Not wrong except one pointGǪ Squads are not the most powerful force in Dust

What are you using in your high slots if you're not using Shield Extenders?
Most of the time running a Standard Suit so Sidearm Damage mod and a Blue Jar. Sometimes two Damage Mods or rarely two Jars (this is mostly for certain maps). The damage mods help make the Breach Flaylock a OHK on Armour Suits, or at least let me kill things in a clip or two.

Otherwise just have fun with it. We both came to the final conclusion that all the styles are important. There's a time to sneak, and a time to rush in headstrong, a time to be patient and a time to move along. Being able to flow between each is what makes the great scouts. One step in front of the other, you impress me more and more, my friend. Though I disagree with your opinion of my competency. :3 "Fuu Rin Ka Zan" My mantra.
This is truth
Styles are different and many different approaches can be used.
Adaptability is in my opinion one of the most useful aspects of play.

She's just stuck her hand in residual Remote Explosive Adhesive.

Would anyone be willing to sit down on Skype with me in the next day or two and go over some of the details with me so the guide can be as accurate as possible? If Haerr is available, I'd highly recommend him. If he isn't, I'd be glad to fact check with you, though I'd prefer to do it here with the guys rather than on Skype. If you're looking for values, the Scan Table on Page 1 is up-to-date. Protofits is also up-to-date and accurate (recently confirmed). There a few "rules" which aren't readily outlined ... * Profile and Precision values are rounded to nearest whole number * Ties go to the scanner * Passives Scans remain up while incapacitated * Passive Scans are shared squad-wide Anything else, guys? Almost forgot! Denak's experiment. Say your profile is 28 dB and you're pinged by a 28dB active scanner. If you activate cloak while painted, you will remain painted even if your profile dips below 28dB. I guess the rings are explained well enough in the scan table. How about the fact that direction arrows are shown for active scans but not passive? Targets scanned by a higher margin between profile and precision show up brighter on radar (correct me if I'm wrong here).Activating a cloak reduces your passive scan range by 85%. All active scanners share results team wide, except for focused scans which share with squad. Excellent points, Varoth. I'm fairly certain that the struck-through item is incorrect, but I'll keep an eye out just in case. Have you observed this firsthand, and if so, in what setting? If this is happening, it is likely a bug (and I'd like to try to replicate it).
A huge issue that seems to go ignored on all scanning discussion and IMO is kinda a big issue.
The newer introduced suitsGǪ Amarr and Cal Scouts, All non Amarr Heavies (Sent and Commando) show up on Passive Scans as a V that gives a facing for anyone paying attention. This is something that people should be aware of and should be addressed by CCP.

MINA Longstrike wrote:Been playing a little mechwarrior online (as I finally have a working computer again)... Holy crap their faction warfare is everything I wish dust fw would be.
So upon clicking 'faction warfare' for the first time you're given a selection of the ~10 factions available, after selecting one you can sign up for a 7day, 14day, 28day or permanent contract (it's possible to break all of these, even the permanent one). The 7day gives +0% extra loyalty points, the 14day is IIRC +20% loyalty, the 28 +30%, and the permanent +50%. From there you're given a selection of planets (along with a list of attackers and defenders fighting for / queuing in the same planet). When you choose a planet you can then choose to attack it either solo, or with your squad (4ppl) or any number up to a 12man deployment which puts you into a lobby up until there's a full group. Once a full group of attackers is formed the opposition is given a "X PLANET IS UNDER ATTACK JOIN TO DEFEND IT!" warning and 10 mins to assemble a group.
From there it goes to a 'protect the area' style match, where the defenders can win by timing the match out or killing all their attackers (each players gets a drop deck of 4 mechs ranging from 160t to 240t total... essentially it's like being given a set number of clones per individual player, let's say 16 clones once you're out you cant spawn in anymore). The attackers win by destroying what amounts to the 'MCC' of the area.
If the attackers win, the next battle on the district is a 'counter attack', where the objective is basically an ambush style match - kill more of your opponents than they kill of you.
After a certain amount of time passes (there's certain allowed attack / defense / cease fire phases that cycle every hour or so) if the attackers hold more districts on a planet, they flip it to their control. If the defenders hold more, they retain control of it. If you control a planet, you can attack the planets adjacent to it.
It's such an awesome system and I think with some work, something resembling it could be implemented in dust.
It's also possible to form up for 'defense' matches too, which gives a ping to people going 'come attack this place' and just being signed up to a faction causes you to recieve constant pings about what planets need defenders / attackers. It also tosses you into a 'militia' channel where you can organize things (for example we had ~250 people attacking/defending a single planet earlier). Oh and I forgot to mention - If you go to attack a place and an enemy team doesn't form up to counter you within 10 minutes, you get deployed without any opposition, allowing you to rapidly take territory if there's no opposition.
Your LP/isk (equivalent) gains have a set payout for winning a match, and an additional payout based on your in-match performance.
OH
YES

IF you want to compare the magnetism between Bolt pistol and something try the Breach Flaylock. You have to line direct shots with bothGǪ see how easy one is to the other.
In other newsGǪ had weirdness with my beloved Breach Flaylock last night.
Direct hit to a Gal Light Frame who was snipingGǪ I broke shieldsGǪ then they wiggled and killed me. With around 200 Armour left. Now this was my fit with 2x Basic Sidearm Dmg mods, I have Flaylock Maxed so that is full bonus damage to armour on top. There is no reason a 300 ehp suit should survive that Happened twice
Though in that match I achieved 8 of my Missions in one go. Netted me 7 keys and a lot of SP in one match. Luck of the mission draw

Why? I can tell you right now that the none of the flaylock variants have bullet magnetism. In fact every weapon in the game that isn't hitscan doesn't have bullet magnetism.
I know
So why does one direct shot weapon have magnetism, but another does not?
Ion Pistol has magnetismGǪ but so much dispersion that it's not entirely relevant to every shot. unless you do a charged shotGǪ and then it does not compare to the Bolt Pistol for magnetic pull.
Scrambler PistolGǪ This one pops domes very effectively. I'd say it's closest to the BP, but less range and damage. Midway between the Ion and the Bolt.
Breach FlaylockGǪ it has splash so small that you have to be pushing you face into the wall to hit yourself, and even then I can't kill myself even running no HP mods at all on a Min Scout. So why does it have no magnetism? Unlike the regular Flayocks it is a direct damage Pistol like the rest of them.
I'm not actually saying the Bolt needs a nerfGǪ just that it is one of the easiest Pistols to use with I find odd since it needs to charge. But then I suppose when I use it I'm usually doing so from surprise. Heavies use it often and they can tank some shots to account for the charge. AssaultsGǪ they have decent tank to use em as a sidearm. LogiGǪ if I saw a pile of Logi (non Amarr) using them to be effective then I would think it would need a nerf.

Dust is on a single damned platform for which it is NOT optimised. Either way doesn't sound that great.

It has been a hell of a ride, and I have to say that you guys were always awesome to help back me up, and I really appreciate it. o/ to all, esp. Ghost Kaisar. You guys made this game fun for me, but GK you were one of my favorite people to play with. However, I have now just graduated high school, finished my last sports game probably ever, and have come to the realization that my childhood is officially over. I have a girlfriend, two jobs, and working out to keep me busy. As much as I love video games, I think its time for me to stop playing this one. You will all be missed, as will the late night extended arguments over scout balancing and the likes To the community in general, whoever reads this post, you have all been the most hilariously fun people to troll, and have brought me many great laughs. <3 all of you. This game has composed close to a majority of the later part of my childhood, and captivated my imagination for close to two years. I have gone from an irrelevant scrub to one of the best PC slayers playing. Its shown me that I really can achieve what I want if I make the investment of my time and self, and I really value it. To Shotty, you were the one player who motivated me more than anyone else, as you were the one who made me rage enough to start shotgunning, and become a good player. Thank you, and keep being a scout. My last request is that you put me on the official registry, which is what I have wanted since I first visited this forum, many moons ago. Wether you do it or not is up to you. I won't be back, and will never know what happened, so if you don't want to, it doesn't matter. To the slayers, keep slaying. To the logi's, keep being bros. To the PC community, keep creating drama. You keep this game alive, not CCP. To the QQers, keep QQing. To the Amarr, keep being OP. To the mexicans, keep lagging. To Rattati, keep staying motivated. You are the type of person or people who we need to see more of in the world. The amount of effort you put in to trying to pump water out of a ship that has already sunken under water has been inspiring to me personally, and I thank you for that. To the rest of CCP, keep trying to find whatever it is you're searching for with your heads up your asses. To all of the Barbershop OG's, I want to thank you for the rough but warm welcome into the family. I have never felt more proud to be included into an online group before. o7 to all, its been one hell of a ride.
And that Sir is how you leave on a high note
Will miss seeing you around

Don't know about PCGǪ but Knives always seem the better option to melee on the Min scout to me. Only reason I run Blues on my Min is to get to a few places a little easier.

Kaeru Nayiri wrote:Oh oh ! One more thing..
For the longest time, when I was trying to figure this stuff out, I would spawn every match in my vehicle of choice off the bat. I ended up creating extra frustration for myself because quite simply, not every match NEEDS whatever I was bringing out. I didn't think enough about what I was doing, just that I would start with X and feel it out, whether it was useful or not. Then I'd get busy with infantry and die to AV before I even got to do anything I deemed useful.
and one more "one more thing!"
My absolute preferred method for busting tanks is an Incubus. I mention this as a disclaimer. I don't want to over-hype any single style of vehicle, they're all good in their own ways and I certainly don't want to steer you wrong. I encourage you to try them all a bit before investing any more than you have !
The first one more thing is so true of anythingGǪ vehicles or suits. One fit does not fit all situations. Sometimes you need to hit the ground before you know how to adapt to the battle though.
The second first thing
Very sound advice.
My preferred method is suicide runs with RE, Flux, and as much determination as stupidity

As far as brick tanking scouts, it seems to me easier to Dampen Assaults and give them KCs. Bricked tanked scouts have not been FotM for awhile.
If I remember what Shotty was referring to, they fixed it by toning down AA a lot. It used to be much stronger.
Something else to consider is that HP has been buffed a lot since then and DPS not so much. I am thinking this will be a huge scout nerf until the HP/ speed curve is put in. Stafing kept scouts in the game, even though it was broken.
I hope they don't wait long between the strafe nerf and the curve. Normally I don't advocate things being dropped in at once, but this time I think it is necessary. That sounds right. Good memory :-) I could see these changes pushing Scouts away from protracted, ranged engagements (excluding sniper play) and toward the high risk quick takedowns afforded SGs and NKs. Centering back-to-back blasts and slashes should be a 'bit more reliable. The trick will be getting away.
I don't do the danceGǪ I suck at it for one. Two, my preferred weapons do not benefit from the dance.
When I hit an objective it goes a few ways.
Lightly defended 2-3 suits at the Letter. I take em out, bait them, pick em off using the socket to my advantage as best I can. Some sockets are art pieces to work in.
Meatgrinder objectives, 5-6 suits often a few Heavies. (yeah the ones that usually are Dom Letters). I'm not likely to take these, not alone. I'm hitting these and moving through. I probably die once or twice, take a few with me, hit it from different angles. Ultimately I'm sowing confusion and keeping them watching for me while I buy time for the HP suits to come in. I hit the opposite side that my team is rushing at that point. Take attention off the main push. The entrenched Reds have less of an advantage if they have to watch for that suicidal Minja coming from damn near anywhere.
When I defend a pointGǪ that's my homeGǪ you do not come in my socket without suffering casualties. Same as hitting a lightly defended letter. I'm moving popping in and out of the control points and cover other areas with RE.
Bottom lineGǪ I have to use hit and run tactics because I suck at wiggle wiggle, and AA does not help a Breach Flaylock. I think we will see more of this play in the scout field. This is the kind of play I believe Ratati is talking about when he say "tactical Shooter" I wonder if Min Ass will do it better? Will Sentinels go back to sitting on the stairs covering the door with massive HP tank? Maybe.
Personally I want to see more tactual choices and strategies be at play. I think that may happenGǪ I also think that if Wiggle stops working a percentage of the player base will adapt by going back to stacking HPGǪ We'll see.
Now that is how I run my MinjaGǪ and that is what I run the most.
My GalGǪ well it trolls around with a PLC most of the timeGǪ I don't expect to have to adapt that style to much. Though When I am being a bit more seriousGǪ I run a Tac AR for shots of opportunity and keep a amped up Ion Pistol for my dirty work. I can still see that working effectively, perhaps more so since wiggling will not be a near perfect defence from my TAC.
My CalGǪ RR and NK combo is most common. RR is used for ranged flanking hits. I'm not engaging with them if they can see me and I have cover to pop in and out of. It works well and I can see that holding as a style right now. NK well we all know what those are for
Amarr scoutGǪ I use the SCR lots of charged shots followed by quick bursts. Close range or short, I almost never pull a sidearm when running this. SCR at close range surprise shot to the head Might as well be a NK in the back. Dancing does not save this suit, range or stealth is what makes it work. Having enough tank to get away helps. a bit more speed would be nice ) Note I early hold an Objective with this suit as Hit and Run in closed sockets is not as effective. I'll usually just abandon the objective for a brief timeGǪ Go hack back that CRU they took over there and come back when the assault team has left to find more kills and a couple of books are left to defend.

Obviously, I won't back out if I'm leading a squad, and I never have. What's going to change though is my attitude. From now on, if I start raging, I'll just stop playing for a while. I'm also gonna try to avoid situations that I know will make me rage, mostly by backing out of rage-inducing matches whilst I'm solo. I don't care if I get called a coward.

There is a lack of direction in Ambush that just does not help new folks, and they would be stuck in it until they can meta their way out.

Jolly's idea is fundamentally sound though. We've a limited number of players, and we can't very well split them across 5 playmodes each further partitioned by meta cap. Are you suggesting that Jolly's "safe zone" be a playmode other than Ambush? Edit: I personally like the idea of low-Mu Ambush being the newbro training grounds. It is fast-paced and simple. Folks are less likely to get bored.
Thinking Acquisition may be the best Safe Zone. It has the elements of Skirmish (Objective taking), Map Access (Domination) Pacing (Ambush).
Thoughts?

I agree it'd be good to have a objective besides killing for people to go after.
I'm just wondering:
Can vehicles be called into something like this
How do lower tier av do against said tanks
If indeed the newbros get wrecked by the tanks
Do you think you could really convince tanks/ads that they are losing another playlist
Perhaps the solution here is in adjusting the Meta level of Vehicles to address the "Force Multiplier"

Nevertheless, a group of hooded, concealed faces tended to strike a certain fear into people, and this was why the Rotten Snakes wore makeshift bandanas around the lower parts of their faces when they went to work.

So basically, use CP to attack a district.

Try to bait and kill enemy assets.
Hopefully enemies will equip expensive gear in order to defend the district, without realising that you aren't interested in the district but just after fat loot.
Sound feasible? Would this be more profitable than a pub match?
Edit: must not use Apex, as they count as proto for payment purposes. Unless you want to be all lovey dovey and give your enemies free isk. I'd hoped for each district to have "attack window" for Raids. This way, if 16 guys were online and wanted to raid someone, they could simply open the star map and find someone to raid. If Raids are indeed required to be scheduled a full day in advance, they'll be more like "regular attacks" than "surprise attacks", and they'll be less effective at curtailing over-expansion and/or as tactical maneuvers. I'm sure the PC Think Tank had good reasons for this, but I think it falls short of the ideal. We'll see :-) I got on that list to try to provide input. I was never contacted directly but sent in some feedback. I wouldn't blame the think tank on this, to my knowledge they decided to not do raids this release and their reference to them as raids is confusing when they're really talking about clone packs.
ThoughtGǪ (ForewarnedGǪ Llast is at the rum)
Corps can set their attack timerGǪ It can be changed for command pointsGǪ stuff like that
What if a Raid Window existed but was automatically x time from Attack timer. Raid window would have a wider timeframe, but not take the district?

Exactly. Say a District's Attack Timer is 21:00. It's Raid Window could be +/- 1 hour (20:00 to 22:00). I' just thinking how awkward and annoying that would be for the districts' owners though...
I know

I don't think the warning time needs to change.
I don't knowGǪ people seemed to be thrilled with locking districts and never fighting, this made them 733t and better than the peasants who did not PC. That was apparently exciting timesGǪ I think shaking things up a bit, less security in null sec, and a little more dynamic play might be more fun than that.
Perhaps waiting to see how this shakes up PC before implementing some real raiding might be the best ideaGǪ but then again
I'm a Bastard and a Pirate so I say **** it let's raid and shake it up now

CRU and Uplinks have a precision rating. What you see is someone who is near one of those. You will sometimes see that "Enemy is hacking CRU" message, sometimes not because they are camping, or it was an Uplink and they just destroyed it. I don't remember what the Precision or range is on them, but scouts with Damp skill maxed will not show on them.

Really it takes a certain amount of knowing when and where to approach. If you are trying to finish someone you knifed you move off from them and pop the ground near them.

Thinking line-of-sight acquisition or team-shared Active Scans.
If they pulse it's the team shared Active Scans, if not it's likely the CRU/Uplinks.

I don't remember what the Precision or range is on them, but scouts with Damp skill maxed will not show on them. That's weird coz on the overhead map, they are straight red dots like normal. I think their precision is 35dB - don't remember the range, but based on a rough guess from in-game observations, it's around 15m. I remember at the time they announced it thinking it wasn't nearly enough to prevent camping...range too short.
Are we talking about the same Chevrons?
?????
I'm talking about the chevrons at the edge of the screen and blips on the minimapGǪ Which only appear as Chevrons if they are the "new suits" but they appear along with the dots even if out of range because of proximity to CRU/Upllink

Adipem Nothi wrote:Kaeru Nayiri wrote:CCP Rattati wrote:Yeah, there are three areas I would want to focus on, which are min and am scouts, light dropsuits and ga/ca assault. To me they are the weakest from a design perspective.
1) we can increase fitting on min scout and buff amplifiers for am scouts
2) buff ehp on light scouts to make them a bit easier to get into
3) fix the AR situation + make the ga bonus better, and change ca bonus to recoil.
With limited tiericide (no slot progression, only PG/CPU), there will be so many new options and chaos, that I think that needs to happen first though.
The above underlined statement worries me a bit, hoping to discuss. I firmly believe the min scout is very balanced and the best thing that can be done to help out their performance is to fix the cloak switch bug when trying to sprint. The combination of tiercide + better fitting could very well catapult the min scout into OP territory. I expected Rattati to come back to the AM Scout, but I was somewhat surprised when he mentioned the MN Scout. According to Thang.dk, its usage rates have only been slightly lower than those of the GalScout. If usage isn't the problem, I suspect Rattati's concerns for the suit are motivated by either (A) abnormally low kill/spawn efficiency or (B) poor utilization/performance rates in PC. If A is the case, I think we should wait-and-see how NK efficiency is affected by speed changes before we commit to any buffs to the MN Scout. If B is the case, I'd attribute sub-optimal performance in PC to the present state of competitive EWAR. If EWAR changes are on the table, I'd recommend that we hammer them out before committing to any buffs to the MN Scout. In other words, I agree with Kaeru that the MN Scout itself is in a good place. I've no doubt that its performance is lacking, but I believe this is more due to external factors than internal factors, namely unit movement speeds (which are soon to change) and the state of EWAR (which could be improved upon).
Also one of those who finds the Min Scout in a good place.
Fitting is not so much an issue. It once was but really that minor PG buff awhile back made it good.
Platoon wide shared passives gonna make a Minja sad though. Don't expect PC usage to be on the increase. FW will be hard with the 8 shared as well. If EWAR is being looked at I think that might be the time to look at things really. After the upcoming movement and these other major changes.
I would note that Shield damaging Weapon usage may also be affecting the Minja Life.

Keep goingGǪ I feel a little bad that you are doing such good work at the expense of frustration lol Thank you very much, and yeah, I'll probably redraft once I write more. From the opening paragraph, you've probably already worked out that there are two classes of people: the respectable high-class people live on the east side of the Nenther River and the low-class people - including many gangs or guilds - live on the west side, in the Farrows. The high-class people have little concern for the lower-class, as you can see from how they often 'purge' the Farrows. This could lead to rioting. I'm also considering making the king detested by the people, which could lead to an uprising and usurping. Furthermore, it might be interesting to expand upon long-standing tensions with other countries, which could lead to all out war. I know that I want Azel to escape the Farrows in some way and be extremely influential in what happens politically, though it probably won't be through conventional means. These are the options I'm considering for plot development; perhaps you could help me make my mind up :
- Amidst escalating tensions with rival gangs, Azel's younger sister is killed/taken hostage and most of the Rotten Snakes are wiped out. Grief stricken, Azel vows revenge against the gang leader who killed his sister and his friends. Azel is gifted with supernatural powers by some mysterious entity an uses his powers to become a powerful and feared assassin, and he accepts contracts to assassinate key political figures. Eventually, a massive plot usurp the king/start a rebellion/conquer the country is revealed, and Azel becomes involved in either actively stopping or encouraging it, for reasons yet to be thought of.
- Amidst escalating tensions with rival gangs, Azel's younger sister is killed/taken hostage and most of the Rotten Snakes are wiped out. Grief stricken, Azel vows revenge against the gang leader who killed his sister and his friends. Azel then gets involved in wizardry somehow and becomes a prominent magician.
I DON'T KNOW!!! I can't think of anything!!! All my ideas sound stupid! Gah! I either have too many ideas or not enough. I'm also finding it hard to take inspiration from other books WITHOUT directly copying the idea. Pls help.
All things come in time (and sufficient rage )
Not to jump into your creative process to much butGǪ
The sister thing, are you married to this idea?
Personally I find a lot of writing involves "Female relation murdered/peril/harmedGǪ vengeance sought" formula. It would be engaging and refreshing to see something take a different approach. It might just be me though.

That's because most new players don't know how to play like a Scout, and instead play it like an Assault. New players survive better in Basic Heavy and Medium Frames because they have more EHP, and the role isn't as complicated for them as a Scout's role.
It could also be that Basic Lights are substantially worse than Scouts, while Basic Heavies are only slightly worse than Sentinels and Basic Meds are only slightly worse than Assaults. You and I know what we're doing, but I imagine we'd both do substantially worse in Light Frames. Me probably moreso than you.

I understand the push for team deploy, but it does seem like it'd make it tough for soloists and small fries to get in on the action. Honestly not sure about this one, so I'm going to hold my opinion (for once).
I can see this breaking FW down to even less desirable matches very easily. The main thing I see is that Team Deploy really does not address the fundamental problems in FW. It does nothing for gaining and holding ground, balancing Faction player counts, or reducing queue times. It just makes it easier to farm LP, and lets people do Corp Wars (not something that FW should really be.)

One Eyed King wrote:I don't know what to think about buffing the Minja.
I would rather just get rid of the cloak bonus for scouts and give all scouts dampening.
I don't want to give up any of the bonuses Minmatar have to get another bonus, nor do I want us to get an additional bonus that would make it unfair for the other races.
Like Rattati said, we are a fundamentally weakly designed suit. I feel like if there is a problem with the suit, it can be minimized by making dampening a scout thing, and by fixing the cloak.
Reduce Cloak fitting cost (Without low profile it does not offer as much benefit so why not?)
Change Scout bonus to Profile Damp so that all scouts can be stealthy. This will benefit Min and Amarr scouts the most, who seem to be the lowest performing.
Where would this put the Cal and Gal scouts for their bonuses? What would be reasonable for Damps number wise for these suits so that the bonuses do not become useless?
If the Precision Amps go up, how will the Amarr scout look? Functional scans would be great, and balanced by limited by range. With less Damps required Amarr scout would be able to fit Range Enhancers, or more tankGǪ more options. Would this push the Amarr scout into Best Scout territory?

Second Amarr ScoutGǪ no discernible difference, because hard freeze
Third Gal ScoutGǪ Unbalanced match but movement felt good. Sorry did not take Dreis up on squad because time constraints.
Fourth match Minja in DomGǪ Great match. Enemy had 16 we had 12GǪ dropped to 9. I cut 13 people down, Breached another 3 and REd two more. Enough of their team left after the halfway point that it turned very even number wise.

I guess I have to actually start playing matches when I log on so we can rack up those command points Raiding is not really here sadly. The recent change to 10 million for a clone pack made them very affordable and I wish they had it set at that rate before. All we know is clone packs will now cost CP and possibly some ISK. Personally I found the complete lack of details on The PC changes very dissapointing. No indication from CCP on CP costs, limits, or rate of earning them. Big fail in my books. There is some information here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2846896#post2846896 The only thing I didn't find was the cost for Raiding. Did I over look it?

I suggest we look into recruiting again, we jumped the gun a bit last time and it seems like a lot of people have left. A lot of corporations will be rushing to recruit now that PC 2.0 is here so if we don't act now we may miss out on a lot of potential applicants. Maths: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZNuxV-0v4LpvLPaxhyjXsOt787GuvIAMpb11EpL_Jl0/edit?usp=sharing Good thing we have some people who actually want to do math to challenge my conjecture! Looking at this my guess is we'll get anywhere from 25-40k daily, but it's anyone's guess how much or if the number will even be consistent. Only time will tell, but at the very least it seems like we'll be able to raid pretty frequently.

That possible explanation for PC Lag hadn't crossed my mind. I'd always assumed a different server configuration (one with lesser resource allocation than Pubs) was used for PC. I think I read that once somewhere, and it made sense to me, so it stuck. I can't remember anything specific.
I think PC lag is cause by a few factors.
I recall them talking of a memory leak some time ago that I believe they patched. Also I believe Coms cause lagGǪ My experience is that when I run into squads I experience more lag, when I run into Qsync squads it can get brutal. Wether they are on my team or not. I seem to remember reading somewhere that a PC corp was running Skype instead of coms and that they experienced less lag.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we get more dropsuits (progression) and skins than there were before?
Because that's quite the opposite what was supposed to happen..
All BPOs suits used to be different suits. Now all BPOs for a race and role have been made into one standard suit and a skin. Next step is making all tiers one suit with different cores. I think the way they roled it out in stages did hurt performance, but I believe they did it to help even the playing field some. I understand that aspect, but I meant clutter in the "database of items" (I mean a database where ALL available items are stored) got bigger by introducing lots of new loadouts, base proto frames being an example. oh, and "Thrud" Minmatar as a fitting name somehow cracks me up ;D The "database" isn't really an issue. The issue has always been RAM. Less suits to render means more ram. More loadouts aren't really a problem since they use the same suits. Still if you launch the "progression" tab it needs to be loaded into your RAM along with all the suit info,images,etc. Besides, my point is we can't be 100% certain it's not a database issue. Because "Reasons". I mean seriously, I have no idea how it's implemented in dust, but CCP has to ADD a new asset like power cores to actually reduce the load because of their faulty design (they thought ps3 is going to hatch ram in itself overtime?) blows my mind.I really hope I'm wrong, because I love this game, but gaming at ~15 fps is really killing me and it doesn't seem like power core is going to change that. It seems there is a serious memory leak, why else would resetting help?
I don't know where all the Dev's come from background wise, but most of CCP's experience as a compony comes from development on PC, where you can lay the onus on the end user to upgrade. A lot of the coding method used may have come from that philosophy.

No suit can simultaneously swing high marks in all three attributes. If you intend to maximize all 3, I'd recommend a GalScout with 1 damp, 1 kincat and 2 codebreakers. He'll hack and move quickly enough and will beat competitive active scans (21dB). If stealth isn't at issue, go MN Scout. Not looking for max in all 3, just either high hack speed or slower speed but higher damp. Thanks for the advice.
On my Basic Minja, I run one C damp (to get there and haunt the point) One Kin and one Codebreaker. I find this well rounded and functional. The lowest possible Damp is moot once you hack the Letter. they know you are there and often the scanners start getting pointed in that direction. One Damp gets you under the lazy scans, the kin keeps you mobile enough. The codebreakerGǪ well that's the point of the hack right?

After testing I have concluded that someone in The Barbershop might me more qualified to operate this fit than I am. o/ Fox The Real Musturd (not the flamboyant impostor "Mustard") reported success running knives w/ MinSent on KinCats. Lightning Delta used to run a trolly but effective "surprise! HMG!" fit on the same. Not sure about the MyoFibs, but why not? I ran into 3 enemy on a bridge when I was in very low armor. I thought I was dead for sure. But then I jumped over the rail and made my escape like a Scout would. Not only that, but I was fast enough to doubled back and ambush them coming through the next doorway and killed 2 of the 3. But aside from those occasional splashes of brilliance I also experienced boat loads of FAIL since I have no experience with using jumping tactically in combat, and it is about the squishiest Sentinel fit you can make. I was also thinking about how to use the jump mechanic so much that it distracted me enough to completely screw my heat management. I can't jump or run when my Burst HMG seizes up. Still, it is an incredibly fun fit, and someone with a lot of Scout experience might be able to do freaky awesome things with it.
Well ima going to have to try this out. Don't have FG though, but I have run around a fair bit with Knives and Kinz on Min Sentinel. Never have I put Myo on it. So use to running around with less than 200hp this should be pretty 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.
Wow that sounds really fun, and immersive.

I can't see a player base involving the entire globe resulting in anything but wild variances of latency for the players. PLus it would be interesting to see the load on their network with a focus on looking for errors. sometimes silly **** causes this.. like having a port set to 10Half or some ****.
This raises a question (okay lots but one in particular)
What server do PC battles take place on?

I call it " mediterranean pizza". Had something like it in Greece several years back; I've never been able to replicate the original, but this is in the ballpack.

Tonight, I used: Toppings: Spinach leaves Cherry Tomatoes, halved Kalamata Olives, pitted and halved Purple Onion, thinly sliced Genoa Salami, sliced into thin strips Artichoke Hearts marinated in sunflower seed oil (comes in a small, glass jar) Sliced Garlic, sauteed Crumbled Feta Finely shredded Mozzarella Grated Parmesan Other Ingredients: 2 Pizza Crusts Corn Meal Olive Oil Sea Salt Crushed Red Pepper Cracked Black Pepper Alfredo Sauce (cheap stuff from a jar)
* Preset oven to 425. Rolled out the pizza dough onto a surface coated with corn meal * Put spinach leaves into a baking dish; tossed with a light coating of olive oil and sea salt. * Prebaked crusts for about 5-10 minutes until light browned (firms up the crust in advance of assembly) * Added spinach to the oven for about 5 minutes (until softened) * Strained sunflower seed oil from artichoke hearts; used this to saute sliced garlic * Removed crusts and spinach from oven; set aside to cool for a few minutes * Once cooled, covered crusts with a light coating of alfredo sauce; sprinkled with crushed red pepper * Added spinach leaves; sprinkled with parmesan; covered with thin layer of mozzeralla * Added all other toppings in no particular order; feta went on last followed by cracked black pepper * Baked for another 10 or so minutes. http://i.imgur.com/BCyeYmc.png

When moving from cover to cover outdoors
When crossing open terrain
When climbing ladders
When escaping / evading pursuers
When other forms of concealment or cover are unavailable
When hacking
When getting into sniping or countersniping position
When suicide running up to HAVs
I seldom use cloak:
When indoors
When in the dark
When engaging targets
Valid uses, and some that I have used the cloak for.
For my style i find...
Cover to cover outdoors - I find Redjar limits exposure when traversing to cover, and gives me other advantages in the field.
Crossing open terrain - definitely better for more direct routes, I tend to have to take the scenic route without cloaks. If motion where less visible I would be more inclined to use cloak.
Climbing ladders - Yes. Sadly many ladders are on the shady side of structures.
Evasion - I have to rely on Redjars and cover. Usually effective, unless I botched while I was in close, and then nothing really saves you
Hacking - Cloak blind is the reason I don't use cloak for hacking. I like to see what is coming. While i do get picked off by scouts (unless running my Amarr)
Sniping counter sniping - I could see that being useful. I tend to stay mobile when sniping so I will try this one out.
When suicide running up to HAVs - This is actually the biggest reason I don't fit the cloak when going AV. Switch delay made this ineffective. Gave up using the cloak to get at them and my success rate went back up.
Generally the extra fitting from cloak allows me to fit Redjars to compensate on my Minja.
For Amarr/Cal the cloak blind is to detrimental to my precision and range.
Gal scout is the only scout I use cloak on anymore, and I use mostly in the ways you described.

If you need to knife heavies or speed hack points, you want a MinScout. If the enemy has GalLogi, better off in a GalScout. If you need to scan other Scouts, better off in a GalScout. The MinScout is the better assassin if the enemy lets you get away with running it, or if your side has the substantially better team. In a tough or uphill fight, you're better off with a shotgun than knives, and you're better off shotgunning in a single damped GalScout than a double damped MinScout. Edit: which suit makes the better rifleman I do not know.
Yup agree with this.
Except Minja makes best terrorizer. But maybe that is because of my intent when using it
As to riflemanGǪ
I've run RR on CalscoutGǪ effective not optimal
GalscoutGǪ I have a few AR fits, they work in many situations, but give me a city and I will run PLC or SG.
MinjaGǪ hell no Knives out Breach Flaylock for backup.
Amarr ScoutGǪ Undisputedly awesome with the SCR. Popping in and out using charge shots, Precision keeps me from getting snuck up on most of the time. I have health enough to handle counter fire, and a rep rate that keeps me in the fight (Fitting Reactive plates)
SCR on Gal scout would be pretty damn effective as well.

Had a few corp mates try it out and really like it. I haven't used it for some time but I remember previously not liking it. I believe you guys mostly prefer the breach?
Any pros/cons on it and suggested variant to use and when? I'll pass it along and may try it out myself a bit more.
Used to use the Breach SCP a lot on Llast. Preferred it over the regular due to the low ROF, spamming rarely worked out for me. Headshots were easier to land with the Breach coupled with the higher damage meant you had a good chance when punching above your weight. I used it as my backup when running knives. Lots of people moved away from it when the new pistols came out. The ROF on the regular version was decreased (The Ion Pistol took that role) Bolt Pistol got the longer range (and penchant for headshots)
Can't say that i remember trying the BurstGǪ I think I will now.
Edit: Strangely I switched to the Ion Pistol, with it's high ROF, though I tend to go for the charged shot. I think it's the versatility that I like.

Don;t worry about it. You are coming back into a different meta than when you left. That takes some adapting both for being rusty and changes.

full of disappointment and distaste now for you ark.
you lost to the Americans As good a representative Arkena would've been, getting beaten by the crazies this round is probably a blessing in disguise ... I imagine Ark is going to have his hands full with college this year. This too. As I commented a few pages back, I got into my first choice university. This was actually a shock. It was selected as an aspirational choice and I wasn't sure I'd even get a conditional offer, let alone actually secure a place. I'm now expecting a significantly increased workload compared to what I was previously expecting, to the point where I had actually given some thought on how to resign immediately without causing a firestorm of conspiracy theories. It's worth it, of course. But I think it would be difficult to justify continuing to spend vast amounts of time on DUST when I could actually be working towards something of immense practical IRL value and interest to me.
Seems that this turned out the best for you.
I am genuinely happy for you.
I doubt that thee would have been a way for you to step down without a firestorm of conspiracy theoriesGǪ not in this community or any other for that matterGǪ people love a show

When it comes to judging people based on arguments and insults, time is important. Context gets lost, people change, times change. What value is there in living in the past? If someone says something you don't like you can respond to it. This isn't a court room. No need to look back into the past. It just invites trouble.
Without reconciliation of the past, troubles can grow.
Many conflicts are due to unreconciled past issues, left to long we risk having them control and inform our decisions in ways that negatively impact ourselves and others.

The combat system was decent with enough challenge to not be frustrating, repetitive, and keep you interested.
Story is really good, and they pull of the elusive time travel without massive plot holes.
Characters are interesting and different enough from each other to be fresh. They also develop and you see them in different time periods of their lives, helping to get a sense of how they became who they are. Neat to see this unfold in the plot.

Agreed on Packed REs. I tried over several matches and was unable to kill a single infantry unit. Unfortunately, also found them to be useless on HAVs. Hadn't thought about skilling AM Commando. Sounds pretty nasty. Wonder why we don't see more of these?

If it is a value that is adjustable then yes.
If it is an effect of speed total it may not be easily dialled up or down.

For AV thread I am rechecking my data on thingsGǪ I would like others to confirm and critique my assessment. Also need input.
Packed Re are intended to be the go to AV choice for RE.
As such they fall short
Throw distance is supposed to be better than the basic RE. Minor increase may help.
Damage is inconstant. Placement is key, and hard to actually achieve. Possible solution is increase blast radius to the same as regular RE, but dial damage Vs infantry to 0. (If that is possible)
Hardenners may be nullifying damage, not a problem except that hardeners run in constant cycle. Also getting an RE on and not having a Hardener be activated as soon as you get one or two PRE on is virtually impossible.

My two cents: 1. Blast radius of Packed REs is presently too small to deal damage reliably. Increase radius; split the difference between current blast radius and the radius regular RE. Requiring precision placement is impractical and counter-intuitive. 2. If REs stuck to a tank still fizzle when the tank enters the redline, fix it. It wasn't the case before, and it's pretty crap. 3. Adding a homing property (like AV grenades) would be better than increasing toss distance, in my opinion.
Never thought of the homing optionGǪ I like it. At the same time I also think that the challenge of getting the sweet spot might be lost.

Revised Idea
Add to all armor plates a slight but noticeable decrease to jump height, inverting the myofib effect though at a lesser degree. Make all Heavy Frames immune to the penalty.
You're not taking into account a vitally important factor, which is the way the game feels. This change doesn't really offer up a significant enough nerf to armor plates - I'm sure they'd be run even if they disallowed jumping altogether - but it does make them feel worse to use. So in effect, with this change you'd be spending players' enjoyment of the game for very little return. Not a good change, imo. I think armor plates just need more number tweaking. Less HP, tweak the speed penalty, increase fitting costs, etc. They can be balanced within the confines of the system we have in place now, they just haven't gotten much dev attention as of late. Agreed. Thanks for helping me shoot holes in the idea, gents. It's what I do Another idea: Move Myofibs to lows with the other Biotics. * The heavily armored Mario Bro is no more. That's good. * Shield Tankers would have a new option. That's good. * Straight Biotic Builds already can't compete. Aren't exactly losing ground here. Thoughts?
I'd rather not see all the useful modules moved to LowslotGǪ again.
I suspect we would see more people duel tanking Armour suits for more HP stacking wins.

Highslot diversity is better than it was before. Moving Myo to Low removes diversity from the lowslotGǪ
Highs
Shield related modules need a buff
MyoGǪ tweak down the jump bonus?
Precisions - not useful to many suits
Damage Mods - Always useful
Take Myo out and you will only see people stack HP or Damage.
Meds have enough slots to not worry about this shift. Heavies and Scouts would have to make the choice.
Already encountering bouncing Amarr Assaults in increasing numbers, they would have to give up a bit of armour and likely just replace it with shields or Damage mods.

Though I find Charge shot/Switch AScRGǪ only need to switch back for cool downs if I have engaged three people. Or 2 Armour Heavies.
The amount of ammo in clip makes it hard to get confused as to which gun is out.

It's much more "minimally invasive" than your proposals tend to be and I think that works to its favor. Simple is good. Some comments: * Add to Active Scanners cloak's protracted equip/unequip delayThis was introduced to address the "shooting while invisible" issues that couldn't be addressed directly through animation changes and as such is totally out of place for the active scanner. It's already a needlessly frustrating mechanic, no need to go adding it to things that don't require it for the sake of balance. Scanners can be balanced in ways that don't make people want to smash their controllers. * Restore Logi base Scan Range to former valuesNot entirely sure what this means for the logis but I suspect it's a good thing so =ƒæî * Change the 3-ring system to a 2-ring system: short range and long range passivesI think 3 rings is crucial to making the falloff system feel like an actual falloff system and not just two types of passive scans again. That being said, I do think that the ultra-powerful short range scans need to go. The ONLY stated reason for their addition was because it "didn't seem realistic" that somebody could stand behind your dropsuit completely undetected, but such attempts at realism/logic have no place in a game like this, ESPECIALLY when they result in the unjust nerfing of several already mediocre elements (range extenders and nova knives). The close ring serves zero positive gameplay purpose and should therefore be eliminated. I would suggest that instead of two rings, we keep the three rings, but push them out and move the increments closer together. Today's medium should act as the new short, today's long should remain the same, and the new medium should be a ring in between those two.
Agree with Pseudo.
Alternatively I like the idea of a Range extenders adding the a Third Range Ring at set ranges. Subsequent Extenders would add additional rings to a maximum of three. Each ring out would give you a drop in Precision in that ring.
Basic adds 5m range ring
Adv adds 8m range ring
Complex Adds 10m range ring
Numbers are rough.
This is not likely to happen, lots more work and not sure if the coding is even doable without starting from scratch. It would be an overhaul of Ewar that is not going to happen though.

On Active Scanners
While trying to make them similar in cloak and having them useful at all tiers, remember that they are still not the same thing. A Cloak regardless of tier affects only one person. Active scanners affect not only the variable number of people scanned by them, but also all who see the scan. This is a much more sweeping tool than a cloak.
Also standard scanner is not entirely useless, it's uses are just not part of the intended design. I've used a basic active scanner regularly when I rush to an objective at the start of match. It tells me if I need to watch for any suits that got there first. "Some margin of error" "Large margin of error" gives me an idea of what suit it might be.

Some time ago Aeon put up a great write up around the cloak. I liked it, however it was in a thread about EWAR and was getting lost in the other conversations. I made a separate thread and we discussed a bit.
Source
Aeon Amadi wrote:
Originally, CCP wanted players to be able to shoot while cloaked (I have a quote that I can link if you guys need proof) and the community shot that down in a hurry. What we got as a result was... Well, being able to shoot before the de-cloak animation even finished.
It's been said several times that the Shotgun isn't what's over-powered and it's not, it was hardly ever changed since it's inception. What did change however is the Scouts, more importantly the implementation of the cloaking device. Which isn't bad, but the way the CPM 0 wanted the cloaking device to work was for movement from point a to point b. Not predator / 'gotcha' kills. Rightfully so as the entire gameplay mechanic is **** poor, annoying, and silly.
Cloaking is also a nice subject of debate. Judge Rhadamanthus (sp?) brought up the Toupee Fallacy:
"The arguer claims that they can always recognize when something is present. This is likely a fallacy because the arguer is not aware of all of the times that he/she did not recognize it."
The same applies to cloaking. How could you ever know of the times you -DID NOT- see a cloaked scout if the entire premise is that you did not see them?
That being said, we have to consider the factor that the cloaking device was, by the CPM 0 standards, meant for movement and not combat. So the exact contradiction is that cloaking devices are more powerful, visually, when standing still as opposed to moving. I think we could honestly reverse that to discourage camping by making them glow a brighter blue shade (more obvious) when holding still and the cloak being more powerful (perfect invisibility) when moving.
Now, hold your horses because I realize that this sounds contrary to a 'nerf' toward Scouts. The reason being for this change would be to open up more opportunities to hit the de-cloak harshly. Talking several seconds before the user can pull their weapon and begin firing. This way, we encourage the cloaking device for low-profile movement while at the same time encouraging more critical thinking on the Scout's behalf. It would encourage players to want to decloak -BEFORE- entering combat zones instead of making themselves vulnerable when they're already within the optimal range of their shotgun. Or as Arkena Wyrnspire put it, "the spleen removal zone".
Just my 0.02 ISK
Edit: What Aeon proposed here was a reduction to shimmer to make the cloak as a movement tool and not a combat tool. Essentially we are about half way there. The cloak had combat ability stripped from it, but it did not receive anything to make it a movement tool. Also the Damp bonus was turned down which actually moved it further from a tactical tool.

Varoth Drac wrote:Llast 326 wrote:I liked this idea posted a little while ago. Seems an eloquent way to improve the Ion and realign the ScR To be honest, I'm not a fan of that idea. I don't think the scrambler charged shot should be nerfed. If it's going to be nerfed, I'd rather see the rapid fire nerfed instead. Whilst it would make the ion pistol better, I like the feel of it exploding in your hand after a charged blast. Reminds me of the noisy cricket from Men in Black. The reason I don't charge it much is because I'm not very practiced with it. You kind of have to finish people if you are going to charge shot. If it needs a buff, just buff the damage. Edit: Part of the reason I said that as well, was because I think some people rely too heavily on the ion charged shot. I know I sometimes find myself doing it. The gun performs very well without charging, so long as you are at the correct range.
I don't really se it as a nerd to the ScR, just a shift in use. Right now I can open with a charge and blap off four more shots (Without an Am Ass) With this change I'd still be able to do that just in reverse. However with the Ion, I'd be able to open with a charge and finish them while they are panicked from the punch. Ion has a lot more dispersion than the ScR (Like it actually has dispersionGǪ ScR only pretends to have it), so it's not going to be a be all end all combat monster under these changes. Seems to have a more eloquent CQC mechanic as well.

Had some really fun matches last night.
One Dom had a two minute firefight with a Galmando that was hilarious.
He was on top of a building and I was on a platform level with him over top of a CRU, I had some cover he was in the open on a Rep Hive.
I was weaving in and out of cover popping him with the Breach Flaylock. He was counter firing with an AR so I could not reliably land shots. I got him to half armour a couple of times but the Hive was filling him up to fast. Neither of us managed to kill each other before I ran out of ammo. I could not make the jump to get him with knives, So i had to jump down and go after other pray and find some ammo.

I started playing Amarr Scout. I went full armor tanking with complex ferroscales for 520 HP of armor. I repair with a Compact Nanohive, which seems good enough repair rate. I do however feel a bit slow, so probably is better to put a red bottle? Idk, if I wanna be very fast I'd have just go CalScout or MinScout. I feel AmScout is meant to be tanky.
In the highs I have 2 complex precision enhancers for 20 dB. Is this too low? I've been thinking there should be 2 myos there instead but I really don't wanna play scrubby. Though a jumping scout is fair game I guess since we're so squishy...So what to put in the highs?
We're pretty informal around hereGǪ you are welcome to jump in anytime
Amarr scout has a fair bit of health built in. I'm biased in this view because I run Minja as my main with no HP modsGǪ so when I run my Amarr it seems tanky enough lol
Two Damps is what I run when I need to be stealthy most of the time. One works fine often. Stamina wise I never run a Green bottle because it's not really needed.
Stealth Fit
2x Comp Damps
2x Basic Reactive (no move penalty, and balances cost of PE
2x Complex Precision
EQ whatever you want
General Fit
1 C Damp
1 C Ferro
1 C Range Amp
2 x Precision
**** it they Have a Galogi
2x C Ferro
2x B Reactive

Had fun breaking a redline last nightGǪ
Went around wide hacked 2 CRUGǪ came up on the enemy campsite. These guys had tents, campfires and were roasting some marshmallows. I snuck up and dropped an REGǪ 2 down. Put down another REGǪ 3 more. Time to run as the rest of turn around to try and find me. drop another as I round the corner. BOOM three more. At this point my team pushed out from the redline. (perhaps the rarest sight in Dust) Took the objective and we ended it with a very close match. They had 50 something clones we had 20ish. Held the objective until MCCs were down to the wire. Reds one, but not without cost.
I knifed many more people, ended it 18-8 and about 1800 WP just for Hackin'Slashin with some Boom for good measure.
Next match ended up decent as well. Lots of back and forth, and had to work for the win. Most notable thing in that one was a little Gal scout on the red side. I think he was new and I felt bad. First encounter he had Knives outGǪ so I approach. We are alone so it's a good Knife fight chanceGǪ He pulls out his SG. I sidestep and dignalslash my way in. He's on the ground. Go about my business of taking the CRU he hacked and killing some other reds. He appears again a little laterGǪ SG in hand. He goes for the jump shot. I run under him turn and knife him in the spine as he lands. Shortly after he comes running directly at me Knives outGǪ I can't trust this will be a Knife fight. He gets a Breach Flaylock round in the chest.
I was going to squad with him after that, or at least see if he need some gear or ISK, but sadly he had a similar name to some other merc on his teamGǪ and Neither of them admitted to being that scout.

I think this pretty much sums up all the "workable" ideas which came from those discussions. Am I missing anything, gents? I think the only thing missing is the "no" option. As in, no don't make it a counter recon light assault. Make it a better scout. Which means stealth. Give all scouts a dampening bonus and abandon the concept of scanning scouts without a focussed scanner. But others in the thread have already suggested that, so there's probably no need. It's definitely been suggested here before though. It's difficult to know how to answer because I don't really understand what Breakin is asking. As I pointed out in the these, the suit can already be fit for the role he mentions. I think he might be suggesting buffing the suit's scanning, and I've put forward ideas about that. Buffing scans makes me feel a little uneasy though.
I've watched a lot of discussion in my time on the forums about "Roles" and a lot of people have different ideas about what a role even is.
I'd like to know how Breakin is defining "role" here. It seems specific, but it may not match up with others concept of "role" and therefore muddy the waters a little. This can actually be good for gathering info though. People will share their ideas based on their concept of roles and possible give fresh ideas and perspective.
How I see roles in Dust
Most of us play a number of roles on the battlefield every time we play a match. It's not static on the battlefield and we adapt our own roles to those shifting needs.
Roles are not easily defined, any suit can be AV, Slayer, Recon/Counter Recon, Sniper, Hacker, Point DefenceGǪ some suits just have strengths that make a role easier.
Each suit has strengths and how we use those strength to create roles is important. If the all the strengths of a suit our outmatched everywhere else then it becomes harder to perform. Sometimes strengths are countered in the design of a suitGǪ as is the case of the Amarr Scout. Precision is a great strength that can build into multiple roles, however Cloak (The scout bonus) nullifies this strength. For the Gal/Cal scout it has synergy with Damp bonus, making it easier to adapt roles around their strengths. Range limitations on modules also Inhibit the strength of the Amarr scout, it does not need ridiculous range, but the current range falls short of helping to build on roles. Stamina is a great bonus, though many don't think so. part of the reason for this is Stamina is limited by game mechanics. Jumping and Melee take percentage of stamina away, meaning higher stamina is not as beneficial as it would seem. It comes down to being able to run farther, which I think is why people lean towards putting a blanket Biotic bonus.
The Amarr scout has an extremely adaptive set up, slots and base health are beneficial to building roles for yourself, and I've had lots of success doing so. If the strengths of the suit were not countered in design of suit and module it would be a truly fierce suit to use.

Had a nice time having it out for a few days. Since then I have been playing around with having it out for lengths of time. thoughts?
Mine used to heal quick on the inner tissue whenever I needed to take it out. Tissue does not heal up so fast anymore so I can leave it out if I need to without having to jam it back in. It's been in so long I forget it's there most of the time. At this point I've had it in my face longer than not lol. just seems a normal part of me. At six years I doubt you risk infection or any serious repercussions for leaving it out for any period of time.
If you change your mind about having it out and want to put it back in nothing a Leather gauge sewing needle and some rum won't fix

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. They're not bad but at a disadvantage vs assaults with SG's in a CH. It's easy for an assault to tank one SG hit and still do tons with their slots. In a CH you have to get in close to cleanup links / lay down links and if your team has bad positioning you WILL be fighting those assaults with SG's trying to set up better positions and get points. Currently you're at a disadvantage pretty much every time you engage them. Perhaps i'm wrong in thinking the SG should be at least as good if not better on a scout than an Assault?
I've generally viewed High Alpha damage weapons as being what a faster low health suit should excel at using.

we could set up a chat channel, like a skype call, and either have a forum post in here, or fanfic section, using that as rolls and what not. or we could use this site as the world. we could use this to make the characters. or if we are using roll 20, there are character sheets there.

Of course, a lot of it depends on the DM and I find that sessions break down after about 5 hours just due to having the headsets on that long.... but it's definitely enjoyable. Interesting, out of curiosity which ruleset would be used? I hear 4th edition is quite good. 4th is..... ok it is not for your hardcore D&D group, but is an easy way to get the basic dumbed down version of the game. 4.5, or pathfinder is very good, combined 3.5, and 4 into a very clean good system. 5 is good it gives the DM much more control over what goes on, like the older ones. I should dig out my ADnD books...... Its been a while for those lol
Of course this comes down to opinionGǪ
4th was shiteGǪ They didn't even put Craft skills in the gameGǪ **** Minecraft has more depth and flexibility.
3.5 good, had many an interesting game with this. Flexible enough rules to be useful for any situation. Loved running it and loved playing it.
AD&D was glorious Absolutely my favourite. Nostalgia FTW

Showing location of a scanner when he uses the equipment = Showing the location of 1 person to 16 people While still showing the location of everyone not heavily damped to ..16 people on the scanner guys team. Even if you are heavily damped, it still gives the person scanner a call out for anyone near where he last scanned when he got the "some margin of error" message. "Ooop I got some margin of error at alpha, watch out for a scout." Personal opinion, it shouldn't give them any warning. Person went for damps over hp to counter scans, but oh well we'll still let em know you are around lol. Just don't see the maps having enough scale for the scanners to work.

But I can't really seem to get any real use out of my Amarr scout. Thinking maybe I should switch to Caldari for the highs for extra DPS if i'm going to be so reliant on flanking.
Anyone got any idea what role this suit is even supposed to accomplish? Maybe i'm just looking at this suit wrong I got nothing. Skilled back into to it to double check. Bad suit still bad. Haven't tried armor tanking it yet; might be worth a shot. Also, Rattati reported good results running with a laser rifle. I believe this, having run the LR on Scout during the 1.x (can't remember) days. I hope no one tries to push for this as a role, however. I can't imagine any scout would, afterall: Scout = stealth, speed, assassination LR = HERE I AM!!
I've had some luck using a cloak and damped Amarr Scout with the LR.
But i spend more time moving positions on the fringe due to giving away my location. I didn't die a lot, but I did not accomplish much. Running the ScR closer to the action and circling around remains much more effective, and profitable. Precision keeps me aware of who is coming for me and lets me turn the tables on scouts who figure out where I am hitting from. Higher range on passive would help. Not a huge increase in range, maybe close to what the Logi gets.

Even more seriously, If you don't know the bonuses - AM scout has stamina bonus, you can run longer distances than any other suit, you also have stronger precision, which lets you see dampened people, but your scanning range sucks.
see, when i saw those bonuses I jumped at it figuring, "Run forever and see people!" what happened was, "Run from people you see forever!" Lol. Unfortunatelly it's either running or seeing ;) It's supposed to be a "scout hunter" if that helps. Maybe try fitting max prec on left and max ferroscale on right and see how it goes? :D I deleted 15 heavy fittings to make 15 scout fittings to figure this suit out. i got the heavy, logi, and commando meta down, so I went to go learn scouts next. and the first suit i choose - Amarr, already has me lost, lol. Scout killer makes sense, but that's a really tricky role when you suck as bad as i do with a shotgun lol
Don't SG with the Amarr scoutGǪ at least to kill other scouts. Other scouts with the SG have more mobility than you do. Kinz don't help with the fines work. You want a range advantage over SG scout. I like the ScR for this as it is extremely versatile weapon. Charge shot drops most scouts, spammable when needed. Also covers all the ranges that you could want for initiating an engagement, especially when you are damped and get to pick your fights.

Make it active scanning and it doesn't matter how fast you swap. As an aside, I hate the cloak swap delay, there has to be a better way to handle the issues with the cloak. Cloak swap delay is far too clunky, it needs a definite buff. I'd be fine with making it so that the current shimmer still stays while moving, but while you're still you are COMPLETELY invisible and enemies crosshairs will not turn red when their weapon goes over you. Obviously the cloak would shimmer if an enemy bumped into you. I also feel that the cloak should have a certain "charge" that does not depend on how long you use it, but it drains depending on how much you move and as soon as you stand still it starts to recharge.
I agree that the cloak delay needs a tune. I think if it was tuned down it would not feel so clunky. It's noticeably high it should feel smoothGǪ the fact that the animation "stutters" does not help it any. I see no reason that the Active Scanner should not have a similar drawback though. I think a smooth transition time for both cloak and scanner may be the time the Breach Flaylock usesGǪ It's enough to be frustrating and not use while already engaged but does not guarantee complete annihilation from an enemy if you have some cover to duck behind during the switch.

It has always made zero sense to me that assaults and commandos have MORE bandwidth then scouts. The only 'logic' I can think of is it was done when scouts were OP and being nerfed time after time. To me a scout is putting down links, using REs, etc way more then those others. I actually deleted my advanced RE AV fitting after that change since I couldn't put down three REs on a tank anymore.
Thoughts?
Yeah when that change hit it annoyed me that I had to fit use ADV or higher suit to try to RE a HAVGǪ and it cost me any Uplink I may have put down. I'd like to see a slight increase in Bandwidth for Scouts, or a reduction in how much RE and Proxies use. All EQ has a limit on how many can be placed already and as far as I can remember a scout cannot deploy the full amount of any EQGǪ maybe Compact Hives?
What really annoyed me was the fact the Proxies moved from underused to absolutely pointless. Can't lay enough down to be usefulGǪ and they get scanned anyway
Also makes me think the AMarr scout might have a neat boost from having a higher bandwidth than other Scout suits for uplink deployment and suchGǪ pretty versatile bonus.

It has always made zero sense to me that assaults and commandos have MORE bandwidth then scouts. The only 'logic' I can think of is it was done when scouts were OP and being nerfed time after time. To me a scout is putting down links, using REs, etc way more then those others. I actually deleted my advanced RE AV fitting after that change since I couldn't put down three REs on a tank anymore.
Thoughts? Think the design goal here (right or wrong) is that Scouts should be putting their class bonus to use and running cloak.
I believe you are right.
Still it inhibits the use of Scouts as RE AVers, and the Uplink runner.
Reduction in Bandwidth for RE and Proxies would likely not increase EQ spam as by their nature they erase themselves as a taxing resource more so than Uplink and Hive spamGǪ Also nobody really drops them all over the SD repos to induce lagGǪ which is why we got Bandwidth.
Can't reduce the Bandwidth of Uplinks without causing issues though
Could Scouts not have a higher Bandwidth scale and not affect balance to much. Say equal to a suit with one EQ slotGǪ that way you are still encouraged to run an Active Equipment piece (Cloak, Scanner, NeedleGǪ) and still deploy a more useful amount of Uplinks or Three RE using a Basic suit to AV with.

Professionally I deal with a lot of situations similar to Park's. I can't relate experiences due to confidentiality and respect for clients. What happened should not have happened but sadly is a common occurrence. Medical staff where I live often work with a multidisciplinary team to help alleviate, and help with issues like this. It helps everybody involved, in my experience.

On the Minmando issueGǪ
Many Skilled Minmando because it was one of the few viable AV choices at a point in time. Then it was the best AV choice, so more skilled into it for that purpose.
Minmando is good for other things though. I have fun running it and I've never put swarms on it. Though I have a fun Minja NK/Swarms fit.
Is it frustrating to have your entire AV setup not work all the suddenGǪ Yup.
Ask me about not being able to hit a HAV with 3 RE unless I go Proto? Or that Packed are are fantastically garbage and don;t seem to be addressed in this massive set of changesGǪ if you don't think I understand.
Is the seemingly flippant response "just get a respec" helpful? Not really, and does not show a willingness to raise the issue or ease community concerns.
I am glad that CCP did address the lack of AV options for the Min at leastGǪ

The two most discussed options to increase Scout viability are 1) No chevrons when cloaked 2) Dynamic profile (less when crouching, more when sprinting, etc). Removing chevrons doesn't offer much in itself because of the cloak mechanic working better when holding still, which sort of defeats the purpose.
That being said, it hasn't been discussed yet, but one of the proposals I have as an addendum is to reverse the cloak transparency effects to offer greater transparency when moving as opposed to holding still. This would increase the value of the 'no cloaked chevrons' feature substantially as you wouldn't be a sitting duck hoping the enemy doesn't know how to find the red dot on the minimap (pro-tip: he will).
Opens up a lot more opportunities for Scouts to do what they need to do. Setting up assassinations, stealth hacks, escape plans, etc. Just thought at the moment though, nothing set in stone. Recent changes with FoxFour unleashed a lot of new fitting options with Assaults, Logistics, and in some cases, Commandos. Scouts can be brought up in non-combat ways like these.
Obviously you should not think that these changes are by any means happening - just idle discussion right now.
I agree with making the cloak less visible while moving. We've had this discussion awhile ago. I think it will do a lot to make the cloak more viable as a tool, not an attack weapon. Right now it does not really perform a solid function, and for that reason there is little incentive to fit it on a scout.
Part of the problem is also the delay. It is very clunky and not smooth in animation or function. Inverting the invisibility may make this less of an issue as you are less likely to be spotted and forced into a switch at an inopportune time. So perhaps it it may not need to change, though it is an extremely long delay. Something closer to the transition time between of the HMG or slightly longer than the Breach Flaylock would still be effective at countering the Attack Cloak problem as you would still not be able to fire from the cloak, or initiate the engagement from a cloaked state.
I would also note that the cloak delay would be a viable way to balance out scanner usage.
Edit: I (And many others) would like Cloak delay to be looked at. If you could drop that info into a discussion with the CPM and Devs it would be great.

Like the stereotype autistic guy that likes anime & videogames, i try to apply the reasonable things i learn IRL. There was a great story once on NPR about a family who had an autistic child, and watched Disney movies with him. It turns out that they make Disney moves to have exaggerated expressions and body language on purpose, because Walt or someone else up high wanted all the movies to be able to follow even if you couldn't hear the dialog. As a result, this autistic child learned about expressing and understanding emotions. It developed into a weekly event where they not only watched the movies, but acted them out. It was so helpful to the child, that when he eventually grew up and went to college, he started a group with his autistic friends to watch and act out Disney movies. I can see how anime might have some similar properties, and it always fascinates me the varying ways minds work under different circumstances.
That is very interestingGǪ I can actually see a relation to some of the work I do in that. Could be worth exploring some potential applications at my job.

Opens up a lot more opportunities for Scouts to do what they need to do. Setting up assassinations, stealth hacks, escape plans, etc. Just thought at the moment though, nothing set in stone. Recent changes with FoxFour unleashed a lot of new fitting options with Assaults, Logistics, and in some cases, Commandos. Scouts can be brought up in non-combat ways like these.
Obviously you should not think that these changes are by any means happening - just idle discussion right now. I agree with making the cloak less visible while moving. We've had this discussion awhile ago. I think it will do a lot to make the cloak more viable as a tool, not an attack weapon. Right now it does not really perform a solid function, and for that reason there is little incentive to fit it on a scout. Part of the problem is also the delay. It is very clunky and not smooth in animation or function. Inverting the invisibility may make this less of an issue as you are less likely to be spotted and forced into a switch at an inopportune time. So perhaps it it may not need to change, though it is an extremely long delay. Something closer to the transition time between of the HMG or slightly longer than the Breach Flaylock would still be effective at countering the Attack Cloak problem as you would still not be able to fire from the cloak, or initiate the engagement from a cloaked state. I would also note that the cloak delay would be a viable way to balance out scanner usage. Edit: I (And many others) would like Cloak delay to be looked at. If you could drop that info into a discussion with the CPM and Devs it would be great. Some questions. 1) How would cloak delay changes balance out the cloak against the scanner, exactly..? That seems far fetched. 2) What purpose is served by changing cloak delay other than to smoothen out the animation?
1) Sorry I was unclearGǪ should have proof read Adding a similar delay as the cloak to the Active Scanner may be something to look at for lowering its effective spaminess and cycle usage.
2) The smoothness is partially a polish issue, but the delay is exceptionally long for what it needs to accomplish. If the delay were tweaked back a bit the cloak would be less frustrating to use. I think the delay should exist, though in practical use it is so long at the moment that you are better of fitting any number of other pieces of equipment rather than the cloak. The excessive length of delay is one of the factors as to why many people around here don't fit the cloak. The other is the visibility level while in motion. Ensuring the role of the cloak as a defensive tool for traversing areas and possibly escape was not fully achieved when changes were initially made due to the fact that visibility as not tweaked to match the concept. It remains half done.

Aeon Amadi wrote:Chevron removal while cloaked and cloak inversion would probably go hand in hand. If the HP tanking becomes the go-to then other measures would come about as necessary. Impractical to start balancing for something that has not and cannot exist until the cause comes into play for the effect to happen. We don't know if it will happen, or what the extent would be, and hunches/guesses aren't good enough reason to hamstring or omit changes in anticipation of it being broken. Dynamic EWAR is another factor to consider but it'd only work with the chevron removal: http://puu.sh/jNGQz/7e770ebd24.png Namely because it doesn't do much good to crouch and have lower profile just to have the dude walk up and spot your chevron like a sore thumb. Which, that being said, the chevron not working with the cloak would only work if you're not beaming blue because you're not moving. So it's a long line of hand-holding when it comes to a re-worked cloak/ewar system. As far as the delays, again I want to iterate that the choice to cloak should weigh heavily and it should be impractical to limit predator kills. You need to be specific in what the side effects are instead of saying that there are side effects. Only one person has elaborated as to a practical situation, in regards to escaping (choosing between pulling a weapon or sprinting), the rest is just mentioning that there are problems with the cloak delay without explaining what those problems are. Explain it in detail, please.
Having a lower profile means your chevron does not appear if you beat the opponents precisionGǪ Dude will not walk up and spot your chevron if your profile beats his precision.

How so? It was suggested to me that, when a group including a cloaked scout is scanned, the scout may well appear on the radar, but the enemy would be drawn to the mercs with chevrons, not the cloaked scout, who could continue with the flank.
That is true.
It would also be a great bonus for LogiGǪ as they chevrons would not appear when they use the cloak. So anytime you are out if range of passive scans you are as invisible as a scoutGǪ Also applies to anybody who can fit a cloakGǪ Starting to think this is as big a benefit to scouts as it is to any suit that can fit a cloakGǪ

Pseudogenesis wrote:One Eyed King wrote:[snip] Fair points, but the reason you see so few cloaked scouts with chevrons is they can't run cloak without being fully damped, and that's my point. Doing this would give scouts another option for a stealthy playstyle and make ewar a little less all-or-nothing. I personally would love a halfway stealthy build, because I think stacking damps is incredibly boring (and the result of bad design)
I however don't think that removing the chevron on cloak as a blanket solution is a good idea.
Go to proto fits and make up a few Assault and Logi fits with cloaks and ask how that will improve Scout health.
Perhaps tweaking the Damp bonus would be a better option, It would not grant instant Dampening to everybody as an option.
Why run a Scout when a basic cloak on a Proto Assault gives you stealth when you need it?

Varoth Drac wrote:So this PC data got me thinking about scouts in PC. I reevaluated my PC Min and Gal fits, focussing on the fact that killing enemies is best done with an assault (not that I was trying to use it as a slayer before).
I'm pleased that I did come up with a number of useful roles and fits for Gal and Min scouts. Mainly uplink placement and destruction, speed hacking, and an interesting outside point defence Min scout making use of the knife bonus. A full stealth Gal scout might also be useful in some cases. All using the cloak, other than on speed deploy fits.
This got me thinking about the Amarr and Caldari scouts. I don't have experience using them, but I was thinking about what advantages they have over other scouts.
Caldari I think should be a good suit, just not quite as good in PC as a Gal scout. I think it would be good in pubs or FW though. It's advantage is passive scans. The dampening bonus puts it very close in role to the Gal scout. I believe this is why it sees little use in PC despite it being a good suit. If the roles overlap, the Gal scout only needs to be a tiny bit better at it than the Cal in order to replace it in PC.
Amarr I think could be good. The stamina bonus needs a buff, especially considering the recent cardiac regulator buff. This could be extended to all biotics as has been suggested a lot, or just a buff to the stamina bonus. The precision could be good I feel, if used as a defence against dampened enemies, but the position of passive scans compared to active scans holds it back.
So what do I think needs to be done to address the Caldari and Amarr scout issue highlighted by the data? Here are my suggested improvements. I know all the ideas have been plagiarised from others. Just stating my feelings on things.
1) Buff range extenders from 15% to 25% at proto tier. This would allow Amarr and Caldari scouts to utilise their unique strengths more effectively. It would also bring an unused module back from the dead. The danger is making logi scans OP. Considering the module used to be +45%, I think a compromise at 25% would probably be ok. The optimal passive scanning logi, with 1 (or 2) precision mod and 3 range extenders would only have unbeatable scans up to 14m.
2) Buff the Amarr scout stamina bonus. Either just increase the current bonus, or make it affect biotics in general.
Possible: If active scans are nerfed slightly, in some way, as is regularly discussed by the general community, the relative usefulness of passive scanning will increase, increasing the value of Amarr and Caldari scouts who specialise in passive scans.
What do people think? I think most here have agreed with these ideas in the past. Do people still like these ideas? Maybe people have better ideas now. Or maybe things should be left as they are? I accept that not everything can be useful in PC. But I still think these are changes that should be thought about.
Pretty solid assessment in my opinion.
I would like to see Logi scan range dropped down as a normalization to help with balancing EWAR.
A 14m unbeatable scan is out of line with every other suit, couple that with the fact that it is shared in squad makes it pretty nasty. Logi being very effective in teamwork and encouraged to squad for effectiveness makes approaching the Heavy/Logi duo ridiculousGǪ now make the squad a 16 merc affairGǪ
Logi in a team squad effectively shuts down a lot of play for a lot people.
Wallhacks were considered bad when Cal scout could do it in a small squadGǪ why is it okay when we have 8 and 16 man squads available now?

1) How does that affect strafe? I don't want it bringing back the wiggle wiggle.
2) If a std NK, costs 11 CPU and 2 PG (according to Protofits), and gets someone a 10% increase to all speed, and an ADV KC costs 18 CPU and 9 PG (again Protofits), but only yields an 8% increase to just sprint speed, how many people would opt to use a less fittingly intense item that doubles as a weapon instead of the more costly and less effective STD or ADV KC?
I am not 100% opposed to the notion, however, the only thing worse than a slighly UP item/style is making it OP (see scouts/cloaks of 1.8), and creating such a great hate for them that they get nerfed to be even more UP than they started with.
I would rather see a more gradual increase, if its possible, like 1.02 or 1.05 and move up in increments, not unlike what we did with backpedal. It actually ended up in a pretty good place off the bat, though some of us wanted it even lower before having seen it in action.
Nothi Knives don't give enough to break anything.
Also if the bonus only applies to them when equipped it is not as much of an issue. Wiggle Wiggle was never an effective way to get at a target to knife them.

I look forward to the graphs however. That's a fair point. In some instances, a high-end suit very well might benefit from raising the floor on low-end modules.

A low end module that I can think of that would benefit high end suits that comes to mind would be the Reactive PlateGǪ That needs to be approached with caution.

IIRC, these are typically used less often than Ferro and Vanilla plates. What am I missing, Llast? Can you give me an example of a potential problem loadout?
Right now they are useful in that the basic does not impose movement penalty and add a decent rep rate and modest hp boost for virtually no cpu/pg cost. Coupled with the native rep of suits this can get one a respectable rep rate pretty easily at extremely low cost. High slot count suits can take advantage of this. Right now it's not enough to be on most peoples radar. Increase rep rate and HP to much and people will stack em high.
At least it is a risk if the values go up to much higher end suits stand to gain fitting advantage this way. Lower end suits could only gain the same bonuses but not have the extra fitting space available to stack up higher end modules and weapons.

After some thoughtGǪ Essentially the Reactive plates are in the place we are looking at for other modules.
In their current state they give health and rep at low levels for a low cost. Diminished returns as they advance in the form of movement penalties mean they are a better value for the lower powered suits.
This is what we a shooting for, no?

More evidence on the Amarr Commando needing a buff
It might be interesting if Variants gave the bonus to Faction suits that they mimic.
Example Amarr Mando gets the bonus to TAC Variants of all weapons.

I find the STD Cloak to be a long duration for a lot of purposes. Proto Active Damp could use that number and not be OP.

That way you are visible before and after use if you are using it reactively. If you use it pre-emptively before entering a point you still have a short window to manage, thus having to make choices on when the best time for activation is.
I don't know what an average duration of an Active Scan is

All I ever wanted was a variant of the regular cloak that was focused on Damp rather than physical visibility. This idea accomplishes that in a great way.

This idea accomplishes that in a great way. I think I'm following, and I see no reason not to also introduce a Type C Cloak if we're entertaining the prospect of a Type B Cloak: Type A - large duration, small profile bonus Type B - small duration, large profile bonus Type C - large duration, large profile bonus, no cloak field effect ^ Is that what you have in mind, Llast?
Food for Thought: Under present mechanics, once you're active scanned you remain active scanned until scan duration has lapsed, even if you modify your profile below the scanned threshold. There is no mechanism in place for a reactive countermeasure to getting scanned.
That would be beautiful.
More options and strategy to be had.
The limit of one Clack makes it so you need to make a decision on each fit as well.
Edit: Damn shame about the once scanned you have to ride it out. It would add a lot of interplay if that was not the case

Would the Type C cloak not be simply superior to both types A and B in all situations if these statements held true?
Good pointGǪ Being visible comparatively would be a loss though. If that was not an even trade off it could be done as
Type C Medium duration, large profile bonus, no cloak field effect.

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.
If that ball of **** idea to make Logi and Assaults have "unbeatable stealth" goes through I'm probably not going to be diplomatic anymore.

There might be some changes to EWAR in the pipeline coming up so I'm a little hesitant to suggest making bigger changes than a small QoL tweak at the moment until we see what happens with that.
Well I'm intrigued.

Just curious here, but doesn't the Amarr then overlap the Caldari scout? Would it be possible, or advisable, to give the Amarr bonuses to either Biotic or EWAR modules to make it more different from other scouts? Also, thanks for letting us get a chance at giving hotfix wishlist feedback and stuff. It's nice to see what the CPM are doing, and that this group seems a bit more vocal with the playerbase. Mmm..

Changing Range Extenders would give the buff the Amarr Scout needs and not eliminate the Cal Scout from viability.
It does run the risk of making Logi crazy good at scanning though.
Get some rest.

One last prediction for you guys. Something snarky for you to copy/paste in a future CPM "Feedback" or Hotfix thread, just in case I'm not around to do it myself ...
We recognize that some of you Scouts might be upset by the recent news that the recon and counter-recon functions you were expecting to be improved upon have instead been stripped away from Scouts and gifted to Logis. And then buffed. We understand how some of you might find this disappointing. Maybe even shocking. We would've told you a long time ago that this is what CPM planned to do, but NDA. Believe it or not, we've actually been silently looking out for you guys this whole time, which is why we planned in advance a clever way to counteract any potential frustration. Some time back, we asked ourselves what might get you guys super excited but still keep Scouts balanced (chuckle). We're pleased to announce that we figured it out, and we put those Devs to work on something huge, just for you guys! We know you're going to be excited ...
Behold! An ever-so-slightly less crappy cloak.
It's true! Exactly what you guys wanted, right!? We think this will come in super handy when you Scouts are out doing your Scout jobs. We're not exactly sure what those jobs are or what they're supposed to be. Obviously, not combat. Or recon. You know, Scout stuff. Anywho, have fun guys! But not too much fun!
-CPM2
PS: You're welcome!
And by ever so slightly better CloakGǪ we mean no Chevron. That's great. Now Logi and Assaults can fit them with no Damp and no worries

Thanks! Need to update that. G Clone just added two more months at dust.thang.dk. Let me know when you have. I wonder if it's even worse. Anecdotal point on my part, I jumped on to get the rep tool and personally I find heavies easy mode compared to the scout, I pulled out my heavy a few times and murdered the crap out of people. I know the heavy is map dependent but the same can be said for the scout (if you prefer certain play styles). I almost always get a better kdr I my heavy then in my scout.
I hoped on to get the rep tool as well. Managed to get hit on the characters who use rep tools pretty easily. One was my Amarr character, easy peasy as It has Logi up to AdvGǪ I see no reason to take it than that. Heavy is also at Adv. used a mix of Amarr Scout, Logi, and HeavyGǪ situationally. Switched my SCR out on my Scout to ASCRGǪ so much killing. Heavy in certain Dom matches was netting me almost as much WP as Logi was. I was using this when I saw 3 to 1 logo/heavy ratio.
On my Minja, I just ran Minja. I hacked all the things and comfortably got the Rep Tool over two days with about 10 matches.
Llast got about half way, just PLCing anything I saw.
I had some seriously entertaining matches. My favourite was Minja vs 12 players. My team ditched down to 4 in the first minute, and I was left alone shortly after that. Knifed 5 people dies 8 times hacked 4 objectives and kept them guessing. Got 6 mails after the game just for sticking it out. Most of them were running officer gear and lost some assets

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.
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 Pubs have you played in where they don't scan?
If they don't start out scanning they sure as hell pull them out after you Knife a few of em.

Let me explainGǪ No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
They suspect the game is dying off
-CCP has decided to pull the plug and not "play ball any more"
-Butthurt over losing BPOs, probably the removed vehicle content from ages ago.
-Warbarge components were spent and nothing was gained. Either they thought they would get something when they upgraded and nothing meaningful happened. That new higher levels with no huge gains that people have been confused about, or an actual glitch. Support ticket might be an idea here.
-These things make EONFLEX question the abilities of CCP, or just make them thing that the people running it are dong a shoddy jobGǪ
At least that's what I getGǪ
That or they want to join the CCP Football TeamGǪ and suspect Soxfour is holding them back.

Flix Keptick wrote:Returning scout here, I haven't played for more than a year and have a few questions:
I have a caldari scout (proto) and all useful core skills maxed (except for code breaker). With that said, I'm totally getting my face caved in. This is partly due to the fact that I just can't aim worth a damn (haven't used a controller in 1+ years, coupled with the fact that aiming in dust is pretty hard from the get go). So I'd like to know what weapons are good to use with scouts (combat rifle worked well for me back when I left). I'm still pretty decent at sneaking around and picking my fights (cloak helps here), but I just can't kill anything even when ambushing them (yes, I'm a massive scrub).
In addition, I'm just unsure of how I should tank the damn thing. Should I go with shield extenders? Kin cats? E-war? I also noticed some people jumping to orbit, so I assume that stacking myofibs must be pretty effective?
So yea, just general tips or advice from fellow scouts would be greatly appreciated.
Ambushing people is best practice when running scout really.
Alpha Damage is your friend for this.
Protracted combat is not in your favour most times. Everybody is running with more HP than you.
Shotty, PLC, Knives, Breach Flaylock*, Bolt Pistol, Breach Scrambler Pistol, Yes even Ion PistolGǪ anything that gives you the most punch of the first shot makes the difference in an ambush.
On my Cal Scout I run Knives and Magsec mostly. Seems to work pretty good for meGǪ But then again I run no HP mods on my Minja with Knives and Breach Flaylock so I'm crazyGǪ it does mean that you have to sneak and pick your engagements though.
*Breach Flaylock is not recommended as a useful weapon for most people. I have maxed out the damage potential of the weapon through Skills and use of Damage Mods to make it effective. Even then you really only get one shot so it has to count.

I don't know what to tell people anymore to be honest. I just wait in hope of changes that fix the real problems instead of addressing mere symptoms or hurting non abusive play styles in order to fix the abusive ones. Yea, that's the unfortunate reality I came to understand. It doesn't help that uncloaking bugs out half of the time and I have to reswitch to my knives. Unfortunately I don't have proto knives yet (only advanced) so it takes me a charged swing all the time, and potentially a follow-up with tankier targets. Also being unable to charge while running is f******* killing me, I can't believe that hasn't been fixed in three years. Beeing able to kill people with an uncharged swipe would be neat, but I don't see that happening any time soon (even with proto knives)... Maybe if I keep sucking enough my stats will have dropped to a point where I'm not against teams of stacked proto tryhards 100% of the time (I wouldn't mind if my gunnie could still kill **** but I hardly see the point in taking it out of the hangar anymore). I don't see any changes happening any time soon though. The scout had always been crap since chromosome up until they introduced the cal and gal scouts. At that point I thought to myself "hey, might as well get a scout" (I like running around fast). However, I didn't predict the tryhard fotm clusterf**** to migrate to scouts, subsequently getting it nerfed to levels WORSE than what it was before. If a lesson can be learned here, it's that CCP doesn't give a **** about the scouts. So complaining like I'm doing right now is a complete waste of time. A shame really :(
Have you tried the Raptor Jump?
Sprint - Jump charge Knives in the air and kill as you land.
Takes some practice to get the timing down but it's a good work around for not being able to charge and sprint.

They don't want us to charge while sprinting. There was a glitch where that was possible at one point, and they squashed that real quick. Cloak switching is a big reason I don't want to play. Can't tell you how many times I did the same thing, and had to switch 2, or even 3 different times. Its worse when you are spotted while cloaked, and now have 3 to 9 seconds where you can't even fight back. The trick is to sprint then switch if I remember correctly, because it is the sprint mid switch that causes the problem. I almost always charge personally, but again with HP creep, it has become nearly a necessity. And now that you have the inner rings, and you walk so slowly while you charge, you just make yourself a big target. This makes learning the Raptor Jump all the more important. Jump, charge mid air, and release just prior to landing. It is almost a necessity, particularly with targets you are chasing from behind. Sometimes, I found it best to even jump OVER the merc, do a 360, and knife them that way, as once you hit the inner ring, they become aware, and aren't always expecting you to jump over them. If you are knifing, pro knives are a must now. Used to be able to get by with most targets and Adv knives on a Minja. Not anymore. Last point, aim for the head. There is no noise or headshot indicator, but you DO get a bonus with your knives, and if you are going to go in without charging, aiming for the head might be your best bet. Hmmm, I'd do the raptor jump (not that I can't), it's just that I'm using kincats. So I jump too high to be able to do the raptor jump, and I'm hesitant on removing them due to the massive GTFO advantage it gives me (like jumping over walls and such, especially when an angry assault spotted me). Quick question; what game mode is best for scouts? Because I was playing dom and I found it night impossible to find lone targets, it's usually just both sides playing a furious sumo match for the objective, I assume that ambush would be the same.
Learn your jump distance and you will be good. It does take practice.
I love Skirmish, so much to do so much more dynamic than other modes.
Because Dom seems to the mode that Qs the quickest I've learned to find ways to enjoy it.
Finding lone people in Dom is not as hard as it seems, especially if you are fast
I usually circle around the map tightening my loop as I go. You get to hack a lot of things... kill stragglers, snipers and destroy the uplink line. Also this often puts you in a position of coming up behind the enemy blob... get three or four stabs in and GTFO... go back to circling then do it again.
Some maps this does not work well on though

As for the oil, I just grab the handy fuels (check Graywinter, your house), any lighter, and there should be a few cans of oil in various other locations.
Do you have the perk that allows you to scrap extra items?
Which platform do you play on, by the way?
I have not found the Institute yet, but I will start grabbing TV trays. Usually also grab anything oil related, but I just use so much of it in creating turrets.
The more you guys talk about this the more I want to play it...
Have to pick it up soon
It speaks to my inner scavenger

I can send you some brew for sure, but its not always easy with shipping these days. They don't like shipping liquids, so I call it a "viable yeast sample" which tends to go over better...lol idiots.
I still miss running only complex knives on a full kincat minja, jumping on top of roofs and raptoring down....ah those were the days.
These days I shoot Oryx in the face once a week and spend the rest of my time on the Pandora wastelands.

That's an interesting name. How'd you come up with that? Derived from "the devil's in the data". Long story. Story time. Go on... Shotty loves data, there is an old timey saying that is "the devil's in the data." Shotty is old. Therefore, datadevil.

I support. wait wait wait wait.... we don't want something that can one shot everything on something as mobile as a scout, trust me, insta kill ghost isn't cool guys that **** is broken. like 4 rounds dealing the same amount of damage of how many normal shotty rounds? cause the normal shotty 2 shots most things if not its 3 and a heavy cant turn around in time for that, so sneaking around behind a heavy aim for head quickly (with a reticle the size of their head its pretty easy) and bamm one shot 1.3k hp suit even then if it isn't that much damage, just shoot them once and swap to a smg/bolt cause you woulda taken shields all the way down and then armor damage+ on bolt/smg would melt them. also commando suits + high damage gun + damage mods + suit damage bonus = gg everyone :P but yeah maybe a little bit less than the full reg shotty clip damage overall
I'm not full on maths here... but lazy math would indicate if it takes two shots to kill most suits with a regular SG and the breach does 1.5 damage of that it will still take two shots to kill most suits with the Breach... Yeah I know HP totals and crunching all the variables is more complex than that. Also the firing interval of a Breach is considerably drawn out compared to the standard SG... Heavies will be pretty much okay to turn around and slap a scout pretty easily... Min Assaults toting Breach SG could be an issue though.

There are a few groups that use online environments as safe spaces for autistic people to help them manage emotions, and work on social skills. I like that you have taken this initiative on your own, and developed ways of coping Park.
It's a huge deal in my opinion, for what that is worth.

I am strangely fine with this decision.
Can't say I am surprised. Can't say I'll play a PC version of Dust either... not a fan of competitive multiplayer on PC. Hell I'm barely a fan of competitive games at all.
I am curious what a First Person Spreadsheet game will look like though XD
Really I think I just gave up on the idea of this game at the right time.

Eve: Ragnarok. Based on Valkyrie, they may be aiming to go with a norse mythology naming scheme. Great battles, extermination and rebirth of life, it's a very good fit methinks. Too obvious? Could be.
Ever wonder if your guesses are actually what they use to determine the names of things?

I guess I am to used to using a computer for all my writing.
Still I think a scanner would be a good investment.
I tend to go for redundancy in my record keeping. Assignments, work documentation (When it is not a violation of client confidentiality of course), anything really I keep a back up and a workable copy just to be safe.

What you are not seeing in this thread is the features and ideas thread that had the ideas presented in an over the top, with no concession being made to scale it back. Also most of the ideas were pitched around diminishing the Minscout role to bolster the Amarr scout. At that time the Minscout had just scratched the surface of viable. If anything taking from the Galscout would have been more appropriate, but that was not the agenda.
I was using the Amarr scout and hardly would I say it was suffering. It needed a boost but not a huge one.
Also I don;t know that it was much more of a vetting than many of our ideas get. Hell, they didn't even get Appia'd.
I like Aero and True, they do have good ideas around a lot of things, and are totally fun to run with or against.

Funny times Wait, they wanted to... *gasps*... nerf the Min Scout to buff the Amarr Scout?! Those bastards...
If i remember right, yes. (memory is a funny thing)
Everybody had lots of ideas around the Amarr scout at that time though. True and Aero did not have the worst ideas though. I know they wanted to make it viable.
Some other guy though... he had **** ideas... unbelievably **** ideas in the feedback thread.

I can see that. Perhaps one of the reasons I liked the Daredevil series on netflix. Not a special effects fiasco, and more centred around characters and development. I also am very impressed with the DC animated movies. They pretty much use the comics as storyboards for the animation. Rumours of an animated Killing Joke are abound right now.

I also am very impressed with the DC animated movies. They pretty much use the comics as storyboards for the animation. Rumours of an animated Killing Joke are abound right now. I got started on the 2nd season, but wasn't terribly impressed with the first. I could see why others liked it, but just didn't really get into it. Same with Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones = SNORE. Just can't get past the first episode. I really dig what they did with the punisher in Daredevil.
Spouse liked Jessica Jones. She likened it to a film noire style, which she really enjoys. I liked it as well, but mostly for the little details, nods and foreshadowing of other things in the wider universe. Comic dork in me appreciated a lot of those things.

I know the admins on that site are somewhat loose with rules and formalities... I know at least one is an ass.

I am happy just exploring environments a lot of the time, so I'm not to worried about monotony. Assuming the generation process works as advertised
My oldest kid is hyped over NMS... we will definitely be picking it up in our house because of that.

I... was not expecting this. That post was meant to be a joke.
Oh... no tongue firmly in cheek Ark
I did not mean to offend your delicate sensibilities
Joking as well... I think tea prices are still the same here.
Also any massive change destabilizes currency... though that was a plummet
Totally serious about the referendum though. I watched the count through the BBC. Very interesting how things went. Also very interested to see how things progress. Scotland, Northern Ireland.... huge potential for change there. Also this changes things in the EU as a whole as well... Not exactly sure how but that is anyones guess at this point.
Also we never see voter turnout like that over here... The press gets excited at 50% (Sad really) So +78% is truly impressive. Obviously people had strong opinions on this.
