How are Scouts doing these days? Quit playing back in 1.5 interested in seeing if there are any changes worth coming back for.

Thanks Aero. I promise to think about it for a second if I get the chance to put a knife in your back. I'll still do it, but I'll definitely think about it...

... howd they not notice the scout on the car in time?

so whats the word on the shinobi rewards?

soo
NK kill with my KInCatted hvy boo yah

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.

Minja
Pros
-more movement speed
-less vulnerability from hacking
-knives will be the only way to 1v1 a heavy
-best jump height
-good all around biotics
-most badass of all scouts
Cons
-**** poor fitting capabilities means you'll probably have to not use your second equipment slot
-Slot loadout forces you to shield tank
-lowest HP of all scouts
-bonuses are highly situational
-you WILL be one shot by scrambler rifles
-shotguns insta bank you as well
-hard mode scout, but greater rewards if you don't mind not having RE's or an active scanner

Gallente
Pros
-Incredible fitting potential lets you fit whatever you want without fear
-Better slot load out
-can achieve greater sprint speed than any other scout while maintaining strong tank and having weapons
-innate armor repair
-best bonuses
-is able to survive shotgun blasts with a single plate
Cons
-slightly less move speed, stamina, and jump height
-lower hack speed
-not as badass

incidentally crouching while cloaked so OP

IWS, while you're here, can you give an official statement on what the new minimap chevron means? way too much debate and no blue post letting us know what it is. Maybe an orange post can?

you havent used alot of passive scanning yet have you...

personally think it has to do with scanned (either passive or active) individuals in cloak, and a graphics glitch as it happens to friendly green dots too that don't even have a cloak, perhaps the cloaked spawn in screwing up

will go play with the precisions on a Cal and let you know

anyone know if they fixed the stacking penalty on damps/precision for different levels?


IE if I put a Complex and an Enhanced on is it still applying the penalty to the complex it being the more negative so technically smaller of the 2 or did they fix it?

not that it matters I guess as either way you calculate it you will still get below 2 amar Precisions

@Jace
Progression is 2/0, 2/1, 3/1 for Calmando and +2% damage per level. On the C-I you can fit 2 complex damage mods and a charge sniper rifle (at the cost of no secondary weapon and really bad EQ)

What it really has, though, is a very high Shield HP value which gives you a whole lot of leeway when other snipers are trying to shoot you.

Engineering+Core level 5?

Surely by now you must be sitting on like 15mil SP?
Once I hit 20 I kinda lost interest in SP, I got what I wanted and have wasted the rest on lol fits.

Just be glad you have the MCC and triple SP events early, I started at the beginning of uprising. I didn't see a triple SP event or anything until I'd been playing for >6 months.

If you want, I could wing you a grant for the sidearm challenge. You get to run expensive stuff, I get to roleplay as a space pimp. It's a win-win.
