kinda random, but i've been noticing this more so than ever lately. I managed to kill a heavy who tried to ride up on me in his LLAV and HMG with my pistol and knives. I immediately drove his logi lav into the redline.

How about:
1. vehicle lockpicking skill. works the same as hacking. Which it IS, after all...
2. Once you get 'in', if it is already occupied, there's a mini-game to fight for electronic control of the vehicle

If anyone is good at math i need some numbers run real quick.
Scout suit is 45 scan profile Gallente bonus level 3 for 5% per level Profile dampening 3 at 2% per level Enhanced dampener at 20%
my numbers are coming out to 26.55 so I feel something is wrong. Considering thats well below proto scanners and i get scanned on occasion... |

Your profile is 28.764, proto Scanner have a profile of 28db, so:"you have been scanned" Math: 45*0.85*0.94*0.80 = 28.764

Yup. for skill 3/3, you need TWO damps. Good news is, they can both be basic damps, so you can save CPU/PG for other stuff.

Here's your progression: 45.00 dB - Light-Frame 38.25 dB - Scout Level 3 (-15%) 35.96 dB - Profile Dampening Level 3 (-6%) 28.76 dB - One Enhanced Profile Dampener (-20%)
Unlock Level 4 Scout, and your dB will be below 28 (with an Enh Dampener). This is a more sensible path than dumping SP into Profile Dampening IV and V. |

Someone was running the Meta 9 Scanner. I've had the same thing happen a few times. Generally occurs only when facing proto pub-stompers.

I have a new favourite fitting.
Prior to this, I used to have two separate fittings: one for uplink, one for "afterwards". (minmatar with kincats first, then more shieldy/armor second)
But now i just stick with the one. and I seem to be doing the better for it.
Gallente ADV scout
2xcmp shields TT3 pistol, ZN knives, AV grenade R9 uplink CPU enhancer, basic reactive shields.
(And a few levels of dropsuit engineering and electronics for pg/cpu boosts)
This gives me shield/armor of 219/163 = 382? So makes me safe from most sniper oneshots as well. I seem to be consistently getting around 1,000 WP with this. So guess I may stick to it for a while, until I get bored :)
I also have a fallback stealth varient for when proto scanners are out.

Right now the main problem isn't the proto stomp, it's the horrendously low TTK. If they could just get that back up to pre-1.4 levels, the proto stomp would at least be tolerable.
I'm not even bothering to play at the moment. I'll check out rail rifles in 1.7 and the cal scout when it gets released but I'm not planning on consistently playing until the game is bearable.

I carry a 5 sec scanner for when I am crossing the street/field. Other than that I use passive. |

I also have scanners at 5, but I only run Advanced tier A-19. Passive Scan's OK in tight / indoor maps, but short of stacking Range Amps it doesn't cut it when outside.
Moody's a fine Scout ... one of the best. But on this point, our opinions differ. If you're aggressive or running an expensive fit, the Active Scanner is dang near a necessity.

I haven't figured out how the hell to use knives properly yet - sneaking up on ppl is easy kills, but in a battle with someone? Hmmm.....I really missed my shotty. Must...try...harder.
Yus, try harder. Specifically, you MUST have at least level 3, and KLO pistol, or your experience will be... unsatisfying, for the most part.
I have KLO - love it, used it with my proto AR fit - gorgeous. Running basic knives......need to finish up core skills (currently L5 PG, L4 CPU, L3 core dropsuit) - then I can fit at least an advanced knife. Knife damage increase is insane. 100 HP basic - 150 advanced, 200 proto. HFS that's a 50% increase for each level (additive). Two swipes? Oooh yeah I really wanna make this work. Where's Maken :-p
Suspect I should run with at least ZN knives to really get a feel for knife as my short range go-to. Either way, thanks for the advice guys - I should not expect it to come easy changing from shotty to knives.

I die more often, but I can afford it if in a Dragonfly or Advanced suit. my problem with scanners is it tell the enemy they've been scanned thus alerting them you are near. If they removed the you've been scanned message and only told them if they've prevented the scan I could make great use of a scanner but as it is now it just makes my target paranoid and gets me killed.

So there's some thread talking about the imminent winter carnage event.. I suggested if the proto-stomp was big enough I would troll with MLT forge gunner and 5K RE troll fit.
I hate proto-stomping...but I understand why it happens. Only recently have I realised I might have a counter to it.

Pft.. wrong question. The right question is, "I'm going to be trolling protos at (XX:YY time). Who's going to be joining?"
:D
Similarly, I have 10mil ISK doing nothing, and I wouldnt mind blowing ALL of it on anti-proto activities. For example, donating buffed up militia HAVs to an entire squad. (for those people who have SOME tank experiece, at least)
Or calling into action the legendary plasma cannon battalion. Picture5xfreebie suits, but all with plasma cannons, being air-dropped into, or near to, a hotspot.
Carpet bomb the protos with a rain of incendiary plasma.
at 250x3m splash damage, x5... SOMEONE is going down
Whats that? they ran into a building to hide? 2 scouts suicide-run up and toss 2xfused grenades in the doorway.
once again... the scouts may die, but SOMEONE's coming along for the ride, I figure :D
