I see, it has nothing to do with the insane stamina reg then? :p
Im probably specing into gal scout. Have not fullt decided. Kind of tired of the slow assault playstyle. I hope we all get a respec, so we can play the suit we want to.

(Confirmed to affect scanning modules: LINK ) Yep, it is indeed fixed. Is it just the Ferroscales that have been fxied or did they fix the way stacking penalties are calculated? (Hmm I'll run the test with 2 complex armor plates and then 1 basic plate instead of ferroscale, give me a sec...)
It was a problem because the bonus is -x% in movement speed, and that penalty was ordered largest to smallest, i.e. the smallest penalty got the biggest stacking penalty when using several mods. You could offset a complex plate with 2 basic pretty much. Or a two basic reactive plates and a complex plate.
CCP dont know how to write code right from the beginning.
It is now fixed though.

What, are you sure?
I really thought there was a stacking penalty on the plates movement speed reduction.
It is really ret*rded if they fixed this by removing the stacking penalty on the plates instead of flipping the sign.

The explanation is this Haerr
For complex plates:
Final movement penalty = 0.95^n
where n is amount of plates
1 plate is -5% 2 plates 0.95^2 = 0.9025 which is -9.75% 3 plates 0.95^3 = 0.8574 which is -14.26%
I guess its just a coincidence that when the stacking penalty 5% is becomes almost the same as -n*5%

DJINN Marauder wrote:Read that someone wanted some cal Scout fits? I made 1. Shotgun fit. The cal scout is tricky tho. Because all your high slots have to be shields to get a decent tank, they take up like half the total CPU and pg of the suit. And I really wanted to use a shield regulator on cal scout. It just seemed right. So it came down to picking between a biotic mod or a dampener for the last low slot. I personally went with a dampener http://www.protofits.com/fittings/shared/181/533 - shotgun cal scout Note: These are with CPU and PG at lv 5. But do NOT include any fitting optimization skills for gun. Note 2: anyone can ask me to think up a fit. I will of course always build it as a slayer fit though lol. P.S: RE+Cloak is my thing. So you will always see them on every single scout shotgun fit
It was me who asked for a cal scout, thanks Marauder!
Hmm, that low HP but uber shield reg is interesting. Its kind of like what an assault suit should be in my opinion.
Would you only run this with a shotgun?

Wow guys,
I have been running my BPO scout during the weekend, and I really love the suit. Can get a jump on enemies with my CR, and pretty much outstrafe/outposition enemies during gunfights. This is much much better than what an assault can do.
I will finally be able to fulfil my role of a sneaky slayer. Being invisible is the reason for naming this character Spectral Clone.

Yeah I charged in like an assault yelling "Come at me bros!" =ƒÿë
Still did get some decent scores. This event weekend shows how fun dust is when players just go at it. Except for the occasional KDR padder running heavy with RR. Those guys are so bad in CQC and will never be good players.
I think we passed 1,2M clones like 10 hours ago? I hope we reach 2M, I really need more SP for a future assault suit, after the slot rebalance.

My KDR for the event is higher than average, it's weird what not caring does for you. It's like being slightly drunk. Works wonders. Not to doubt your abilities or anything but the increased kd may be down to many players also playing cheap fits.
Of course. Scouts will however trump flanking assault suits in 1.8. If you bricktank them. Dat scanning and profile with charge shot on ScR will make protobears cry.

So, it seems like the some of the Amarr suits in are "in between roles".
Amarr logi is in a hybrid of logi and assault. Amarr scout is in a hybrid of scout and assault.
Yes? No?
I still think the Amarr scout is going to be great, much better than an assault suit at slaying.

Appia Vibbia wrote: Not to mention the Amarr Scout is very good at replicating other suit's roles.
This is the kind of dropsuit I am looking for TBH. Both gallente and amarr scout can fulfil several roles. Both get a perk bonus of either scanning/profile or stamina. Gal gets a enhanced repper, while the amarr get more base HP (should IMO be a enh plate to be comparable).
So all in all, if you-¦re into armor scouts, both will be fine for you. Possibly amarr is better because fitting a profile dampener does not hit as hard on your PG as a cardiac regulator mod. This is good if you intend to run a ScR on your scout (or other power hungry things).

You can also fire off few finishing shots if you run out of clip on Cr. That pistol just looks badass.

Though my Minja will lack heavy slaying power (if they let you switch weapons during its overheat though, the Charge followed by ACR might be deadly. The Charge will wipe off around 500 shields at range, and then follow up with a hailstorm of projectiles.
It has a great balanced dmg profile +10% shield -10% armor.

So, how viable is a caldari scout compared to a gallente scout for a tanked slayer role?
I guess you will at least be moving really really fast, with a great tank (almost as much shield as an assault, 50 hp/s) and a CR.

Funny thing, I was tweaking with caldari scouts a bit yesterday. And then I realized that I had forgotten to try fitting ferroscale plates completely.
Was actually thinking about cal scout for a while there, but with these kind of speedy builds, you can be much more diverse with a gal scout. Also, many have BPOs.
If you are a roleplayer, and want to play your faction scout, I do respect that. But there is no reason to spec into another scout than gallente if you want to max your build and be versatile.
Gal scout: - Best scanner - Best runner - Best light assault - Best hacker
Low slots RULE, period!

When assaults get their HP buffed (hopefully), noone will QQ about scouts bricktanking, and everything will be OK.
Dont get why the cal/gal scan scout is considered to be OP, its very well balanced VS the ability to tank. One has to consider that its a very niche role to be a scan scout also.

That is true, but since I have proto PLC, I need to keep the hope up.
What about shotty? Its great. I am kind of enticed to spec into it.
Shotty + SMG or shotty + MSMG.
Can the mass driver really be used as a shotty? If so, it would be fun since you can pop in and out of cover quickly (fast speed) and pwoop the reds to death.

Ok first of all: OWWWWAnd yes I find Caldari to be the best scout to use the MD on, ironically, your ability to track cloaked scouts along with the MDs armor damage bonus just slaughters armor tankers, and shield tankers don't have the HP to withstand the barrage, just keep moving (ala avoid damage) and make sure your shots land and you should become a nasty little scout hunter. And mind the splash damage, especially when lagged, you have no idea how many times I've killed myself with that damn thing.....
I was thinking about using the assault MD in the context of hmm... flanking large groups of redberries.
Should probably spec into STD bolt pistol + shotty really. It seems like one of the best combination for a gal scout.
But I-¦m waiting for the Ion pistol to become better. I want a sidearm shotty please.

I believe prof is good on weapons that have proficiency bonus against armor. Shield based proficiency its pretty useless to bring it very high, since no one has huge buffers of shield anyway.
You could bring the CR to prof 3 or something for that extra boost to armor damage. Think about the accumulated damage profiles you get and the balance ratio between shield buffer to armor buffer in percent.
Otherwise, bank your SP until medium suits are fixed, and get a one!
Do not spec into: Plasma cannons ARs Ion Pistols

Django Quik wrote:Oh for *profuse profanity*'s sake!
The cloak QQ is the most irritating load of nonsense overflowing these forums. The suggestions to fix it are easily some of the worst ideas ever to be voiced on these forums. Most people are simply looking at the symptoms and blaming entirely the wrong thing for what's happening.
Case in point: I keep getting shotgun 2hk'd before I even know someone's there! The shotgun must be OP and the shotgun cloak combo must the OPOP because that's the only way I wouldn't have seen them. And as an extra just in case, assaults need better ewar capabilities to combat sneakiness and stealth.
These are serious points made in many of the posts against cloaks.
The biggest problem with the cloak is that you can still shoot at least for half a second while cloaked before it deactivates. During that time you get your extra dampening and lower visibility (even if it is still blurry, it's a difference). Once this is fixed, a massive proportion of the cloak QQ problems will instantly disappear.
It seems that a lot of the brick tanked scout rage has died down lately - I'm assuming the brick mediums got scared when people started suggesting nerfing HP mods - so focus has turned to ewar. Now they want to even the ewar playing field between scouts and medium suits! WTF!? WTFF!? FWTF!?!? Make the ewar suit out-ewar-able by a DPS suit? FFS!
I still think the extra dampening bonus on cloaks is unnecessary - cloak does give a sizeable advantage already and if you want to be properly undetectable by most, you should have to sacrifice slots to do so. Ok so caldari scouts might still easily pick you up but that's one suit, one viable counter. Everything needs it's one viable counter.
Lastly, I maintain that regular armor plates need nerfing. Remember when the complex plate had 10% movement penalty and no one used them? Seems like a very long time ago now. Then they got massively buffed (did the HP go up as well at that point?) at the same time the ferros and reactives got introduced. I still don't entirely understand why they got so hugely buffed. I still don't understand why prior to that the entire game was shield tanking.
Armor plates currently give far too much bang for their buck but I wouldn't actually want to change that. Bring back the old speed penalties and see how that changes things. No scout is going to want to lose 30% of their speed to fully armor tank. And remember maths, people. 10% of 8.01m/s > 10% of 6.43m/s. Anyone suggesting differing speed penalties between suit classes needs to recognise that this already happens. Scouts lose a lot more speed than assaults or heavies because they have more to begin with and the penalty is % based.
You have really pointed out everything that is not working as intended with scouts.
Everyone just need to print the above and stick it to their ******* computer screen/TV/forehead/refrigerator.

It is the real world of business. The way I see it was some devs got paid to do a job that in the end was canceled. Who lost? CCP because they had to pay those people that returned no product to profit them. Yes it's sad people lost there jobs but this is the real world where a company has to make decision to keep the company profitable vs keeping employees. If you have or had your own company you would know that #1 is money. Without money you have no company and employees don't work for free. You hire when you need more employees you cut when they are not needed. You have to prioritize you company on what makes you profit and drop things that don't and sometimes that even means projects that are not complete to find out if they will make a profit.
As a company, you do have a choice. There's good ways to make money by providing a good product and good service i.e. customer support, and then there is cash grabbing assholes like CCP. CCP and EA are not un-ethical per definition, but they are definately in the grey zone.
