Hi, complete scout newb here. I've been loving running the cal scout with complex damps and enhanced precision enhancers. Don't use a cloak due to to much cpu and pg. Need some tips of how to run it properly and possible fittings for a advanced suit fit.

o/ Harbinger

CalScout doesn't hit its stride until Level 5. Cloak will be tough to fit until max level, and (IIRC) until max level you'll also need a damp in both of your lows to beat 21dB scans. At Level 5, you'll have plenty of room for a STD or ADV cloak (unless you're stacking shields) and you'll only need one complex damp for sub-21dB profile. So hang in there; it gets better :-)

Meanwhile, depending upon your playmade preference and Mu ranking, you may not always need a sub-21 dB profile. I'd recommend starting off with one damp; if you get the "you've been scanned" message, pull out a loadout with the second damp equipped. Always try to get away with whatever the enemy lets you. If they let you use your second low slot for something other than damps, I'd recommend a KinCat. A little extra speed can get you into position and out-of-trouble faster. If Range Extenders get buffed (down the road) then extra scan Range might come in more handy than extra speed; for now, they really aren't worth the slot. Ferro and Reactive Plates are another solid option especially if you're a Rifleman.

As for weaponry, depending upon the map, I'd recommend pairing Knives with a Rifle or Shotgun with a reliable, ranged sidearm (pre-FoxFour: Bolt, SMG; post-FoxFour: ScP, MagSec, SMG, ASMG).

Yeah, I've been using a shotgun with bolt pistol. With two ehanced my profile is 20 and my precision is 26 with 3 ehnaced and 1 basic precision ehancer. Also with the cloak I'm completely new to that and have no clue how to use it properly ever since the update to nerf it's pull out speed.

It's awesome (and suspicious) that you're already thinking about EWAR in terms of specific decibel levels. Lots of newbros have popped in here seeking advice over the years; you're the first to pop in with his profile/precision levels in hand.

Welcome. Pirate

There's a link on the very top of Page 1 with current Profile and Precision values. For simplicity's sake, these calculations assume the use of complex modules. Take a look at the sheet titled 'Summary'. This will breakdown for you how Falloff works. Your scan precision of 26dB is your mid-range precision. Your close-range precision will be much stronger and your precision at range much weaker ...

yeah, that fit I mentioned above is just on a basic suit and I'm almost at advanced for my caldari scout. Plus I was using this set up for a week. Most of my games I got around an average of 30/15 with a crg and viziam gauged on my suit for points.

Need some tips of how to run it properly and possible fittings for a advanced suit fit. I haven't run Cal much, but I wouldn't use more than 1 Precision mod. With EWAR like it is, if you run 1 Precision, that should be sufficient. You are best off running shields in your high slot, and getting in and out with a hit and run style I know Ghost has been liking it a lot lately, so hopefully he stops in to suggest something.

mollerz 7	Posted - 2015.09.28 05:50:00 - [47193] - Quote After a little bit of rumination, the positives were: - 3rd low slot on an M/1 is nice. - I stabbed a backpedaler to death. It was pretty fair too.. he was able to shoot me some so if he didn't panic he may have had me. - I went biotic heavy and had some fun with it. Was rolling 11.x M/s with IshNoks. I was EWAR none but maybe people have no awareness or I wasn't being seen as a stock maxed M/1. Not sure what to think, but it is nice to be confident with no damps. - The magsec is massively improved. no more wack ass jitter to it. Drives nails but has a decent delay. Seems good. Rocks people too. - Those new and improved compact nanos are nice - I regen armor now! 87 ain't hard to recoup stock either - I am compensating for lack of POV with 100 X axis/90 Y axis to spin a bit faster - knifing is still fun when there was no lag. Anyone play around with the MD? I was thinking about tossing one on to go after tanks.. I might play in the wee hours tonight because I always noticed lag dropped off for me back in the days around then.

If it must be done -- for whatever reason -- then it must be done. But why not also refund everyone's SP investment in Swarm Launcher and the MN Commando skilltrees? Anything else would be a raw deal. Mentioned this before but the only reason it doesn't happen I suspect is because of the amount of problems they've had trying to recompense anything at all. Something always seemed to go wrong and I think they just stopped trying as not only was it clearly too hard to do safely, leaving them a mess to clear up with precious dev time, but they lost most of their team anyways. Totally agree. I'd assumed that refunding SP investment in a couple skill trees could be done with minimal effort / risk. If doing so requires a large amount of Dev Time, then I can understand why it isn't being considered. Still, I'd imagine they'd be better off leveling with us than the current "well, we mentioned it might happen back in 2014" or "buy a respec if you don't like it." Sure but to be fair to CCP, they did try several times with various items (not just SP) but always seemed to run into technical difficulties, and it's not CCP saying what you quoted in italics.

Ghost you gotta unretire yourself again and run that fit once the hotfix is live, tell us if it's viable (no PC :-p ) You haven't skilled into shields yet? Only thing I need to get to 5 is recharging up from 3, but I don't see the point. ADV are good enough, imo. Regulators are godlike, and even more once the hotfix drops. Only the extender tree. I don't run any other shield mods (I don't always run extenders!), and even if those trees were maxed, I still wouldn't. My scouts are all about the EWAR and speed.

On most of the Light AV options on a commando the key isn't the +10%, it's the reload speed on sustained DPS. you lose about 204 per alpha strike. roughly a loss of 151 DPS overall from alpha. this is triple modded and skill maxed on the suit and weapon. Now if we go over to sustained DPS... A baseline suit that's triple-modded and maxed out in all ways... Runs at 857.7 DPS sustained over reloads, and continual fire. the universal commando bonus brings this to 961.1 Calmando Sustained DPS will be 1057.3 Minmatar post-change will be 961.1 Grand total of 96 DPS loss. As far as vehicle fighting goes this is pretty minimal, and unlikely to alter TTK. with the 204/shot loss from the 10% (51 Alpha per missile) For those of you who remember back about six, eight months ago when i posted my findings on why heavy damage mods are a joke when forge gunning, because in no situation did they reduce actual number of shots needed to kill a target? the Forge gun shot loss under similar circumstances, going from 3 mods to zero, a rough 12%, results in a loss of 241 Alpha on the IAFG. So as it sits, the Minmando damage bonus for purpose of AV is pretty much a placebo, unlikely to actually alter Shots to Kill except in the visual sense where you see the health bars move farther. Because the commando reload speed makes a larger difference in most AV cases (minmando and Calmando can both get higher damage than the galmando by about 1% because of damage mod layout) the minmatar 10% explosive bonus was largely a placebo. It's the reload speed that matters. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Beyond running damps to beat active scans, there's really no "right fit" when it comes to Scouts. Keep experimenting until you find what works for you. Keep us posted on your progress. o7 One last tip: I'd suggest stockpiling SP to get your CalScout to Level 5. Lots of other tempting skills to grab, and lots of them you'll eventually need. But getting your level 5 racial bonuses will help you more than anything else.

Bad news, friend: Utility GA Scout > CA Scout > MN Scout > AM Scout Fun MN Scout > GA Scout > CA Scout > AM Scout The MN Scout is not the Swiss Army Knife of Scouts. The MN Scout is the Party Boy of Scouts. While I agree with you that the MinScout is fun surely it has a higher practicality value then the CalScout Side Note at least we both agree that Amarr Scout is basically useless.

While I agree with you that the MinScout is fun surely it has a higher practicality value then the CalScout Side Note at least we both agree that Amarr Scout is basically useless. I'll concede that MN and CA are very close in terms of relative utility. A more accurate arse-pulled scale might look like: GA Scout >>> CA Scout > MN Scout >>> AM Scout Or perhaps even: GA Scout >>> CA Scout >= MN Scout >>> AM Scout In my mind, relative scout utility is measured by (1) free slots at/below profile of 20dB (with low slots being of greater potential utility than high) and (2) relative usefulness of racial bonuses and attributes. GA Scout - Beats 21dB scans with 5 free slots (2 high, 3 low) CA Scout - Beats 21dB scans with 5 free slots (4 high, 1 low) MN Scout - Beats 21dB scans with 4 free slots (3 high, 1 low) AM Scout - Beats 21dB scans with 4 free slots (2 high, 2 low) If the MN and AM Scout shared similar bonuses and attributes, the AM Scout would rank higher on this makeshift utility scale due to the greater number of available low slots. The MN Scout's advantages (speed, hacks, knives), however, are far superior to those of the AM Scout (decent mid-range scans ... if precision amp'd).

Even if the other gadgets on it are missing or have low functionality. I mean, who cares if the nail file is almost as smooth as the knife, or if the corkscrew always takes forever.

But how do we know that the MN Scout bonus wasn't a coding error or Dev oversight? Ishukone Corporation What comes of the MN Scout if one day it goes the way of the MN Commando? Who is to say it won't? Who is to say they wouldn't?
