I was a Gallente Scout, just got my respec monday and haven't spent a point in anything yet, but may become a Gallente Scout again, I'm seriously missing that speeeeeeed...

I've been trying to get back into scouting this week. Not going all that well I admit but I've had a bit of success with this fit:

---

ADV Gallente Scout

Complex Cardiac Regulator
Complex Kinetic Catalyzer

Compact Nanohive

Locus Grenade

Standard SMG

K-5 Specialist Shotgun

Complex Shield Extender
Complex Light Damage Modifier

---

If I'm being scanned down by prototype active scanners I switch to a scout suit with a militia profile dampener on it. ( I switch out the Cardiac Regulator. )

Newbie needs help!

Damnit! I may just have to quit my job again, so I can play more and catch up!

Also, going back to the pistols talk earlier - I'm glad they've caught on as scout weapons because I've been playing with them dedicatedly for over a year. However, I prefer my breach over the assault, simply because with my level 5 prof and 2 x comp dmg mods I get over 800hp headshot damage :)

I did break 10k kills this week but sadly the numbers will never reflect this now :(

Appia, I realise you may be referring to my posts but I should probably clarify - I do not think proto gals have TOO much fittings room; I have just been saying that they have A LOT MORE than any other scout suit up until now. I think proto gals are relatively alright for fittings, especially with the much nicer slot layout - the other suits have just been suffering more.

Looking at some of the protofits I've seen for 1.8, the proto gal scout looks ridiculous. You can fit SO much on that suit it will easily compete with logis for best fittings capability. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing or that it shouldn't be that way but it will certainly be outperforming the gal assault in 1.8 - i.e. assault stats are probably going to need some buffing; my suggestion if so will be base eHP only though.

I like bolt pistol, because
1. it has extreme range for a pistol
2. it has a "dot" sight in ADS

I dislike the bolt because of the long spool-up time.

That being said, it hits so hard, i've gotten some good kills with it.
So it is my backup weapon of choice, for either SG or NK.

I've dropped a few suits at medium range with 2-3 shots.
NEVER gotten a headshot kill with it

(I also kind like that it has full autofire, but that is almost completely negated by long spool time
Kinda stupid. IMO, high-accuracy weapon should be manual fire, whereas all ScP should have automatic fire. If you're going to put autofire on a pistol.
)

It's not good for going against heavies though.
I used to be able to spam ScP and hope for random headshots, in scout/heavy battles(and do fairly well).
Can't do that with bolt. I'm not accurage enough with controller.
When circle-strafing heavies, MagSec or ScP seems to work better for me personally.

Silent in here lately.
