Off Topic: Got to play a few matches again last night. It was fun! No noticeable lag.

Ran mostly biotic CalAssault + Shotgun. Dropped the hive and added an active scanner. I'm getting scanned often, but getting scanned is not a death sentence for Assault suits. With only two shield extenders, I'm pushing nearly 500 shield HP; compared to a Scout, I have tons of time to react when shot. I'm running a couple myofibs, so by "react" I mean hop away and recover ... or hop toward the merc who's pewpewing at me and smash his face. Here's my fit, which I've tweaked slightly since last sharing:

Assault ck.0
HS: Cmp Extenders (x2), Cmp Recharger, Cmp Myofibs (x2)
LS: Cmp KinCats (x2), Cmp Regulator
PW: Adv Shotgun
SW: Adv MagSec
EQ: Creodron Proximity Scanner
GR: Flux for Skirm, Locus for other modes

This is a different approach to shotgunning from what I've grown accustomed. Attacks from behind seldom favor the target. Frontal attacks are often an option. HMG Heavies are far less threatening. Risks are easier to manage and mistakes are far more forgiving. There are a few drawbacks, but overall it seems to be alot less difficult than running Shotgun Scout. So far, at least.

Note: I've picked up a handful of shotgun scouts with my free-pass unenhanced inner scan ring. I'd estimate these guys have a 50/50 chance of dying. They have to hit me twice; I usually only have to hit them once. If I'm turning before they fire, they've got pretty low odds of success. Chasing an Assault Shotgunner is bad idea, as you're blipping on his TacNet for a good bit of time while closing the gap between 6m and 4m.

I wonder, could the actual code for everything be long-winded and obsolete? I imagine that since CCP isn't used to working with consoles, they perhaps didn't write the code in the most efficient way? Maybe CCP could hire someone who's better used to working with consoles to shorten and optimise the code? Is that how coding works?

It couldn't get much better than this. We can't all play in the low Mu queue. It's Saturday. I just sat "searching for battle" for a full 10 minutes. All modes checked, excluding Domination. The match I get -- after waiting for 10 minutes -- is me + some randoms vs a stompsquad. The lag was real. I should've backed out, but 10 minutes is a long wait for nothing. So I spent about a million ISK entertaining the stompsquad and got paid ~200k EOM for my efforts. Apparently, we had a rep logi or two somewhere on the field. There's so much room for improvement. Fix the lag. Fix the stomps. Fix pay. Fix class imbalance. Add a solo queue so that people can find a decent quality match when PCU is low and/or match quality elsewhere is suspect. I've got a few free to hours to play DUST right now; instead, I'll be doing other things. First on the list is fussing on the DUST Forums. Check! Now off to find something else to play.

The wife's away and I've got a few free hours to play. Really wanted to play DUST; instead, I'll be doing other things. First on the list is fussing on the DUST Forums. Check! Now off to find something else to play. I'm sure the full squads of Cap Aq and TR would disagree with you. As for wait times, I have all 4 modes checked off and server set to automatic. It usually takes me anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute to find a match, and the matches are usually skirm or ambush, I rarely get domination nowadays and acquisition is even rarer. I also never lag. The battles I get in are very even for the most part. I usually get paid around 400k a match and that is in my minmatar scout. Director of Pure Evil.

Chasing an Assault Shotgunner is bad idea, as you're blipping on his TacNet for a good bit of time while closing the gap between 6m and 4m. Found myself in a lower MU skirmish the other day. Got a 26 kill streak in a dragonfly scout with a basic shotgun, defending a CQC objective. Reminded me of the power of passive scans + low profile + shotgun. Particularly against less experienced players. It occurred to me, as I wasn't making use of my cloak, that I would have been better off in an assault suit. Which then made me think of a possibly great low sp fit: standard assault militia precision enhancer militia profile dampener Kincats (militia) Shields Armour militia shotgun sidearm The two EWAR mods effectively put the suit's EWAR equal to my scout, in the absence of active scans. I was probably scanning some at 30m, which this suit won't. But 10m is enough to shotgun someone as they round a corner. So long as the new(ish) player was able to make use of the radar and chevrons, and stayed away from open spaces, this could be devastating in a low MU match. Particularly skirmish. It's a shame new players can't access an assault suit. Medium frames lack hp, but still could be ok, though not much better than an hp tanked light frame. Medium frames should get the same base hp as assaults.
