You don't think the Min scout's superior speed, stamina, and shield regen would be enough to balance it against a Gal scout's superior hp and passive scans?

Must stay zen...must stay zen...must stay zen....must stay zen...don't disrespect this pathetic inconsiderate plebe that makes you want to strangle the life out of his degraded corpse....BLAZE I AM GOING TO DESTROY YOU...you ****** up my ipad with that disgusting shite.


@Zor

I miss IWS. He was like the shaft of dust.

No.

When you are at 200 ish HP, shield don't mean sh*t.

It is like the recent shield buff. Adding a few points to the threshold was purely academic, since you have to be quite a distance further than the effective range of a weapon for it to matter.

Likewise, I rarely survive being fired upon, because HP is so low.

Again, look at the Amarr. Has better Stamina and HP than the Gal, but no one runs it, because you may as well go either Gal Scout, or Assault. The bonus may be unique, but it is so ineffective that it doesn't make up for it's shortcomings.

The only way Minmatar would have any role in your scenario would be if Precision were to matter again, in which case it could use it's superior number of High Slots as leverage, yet a Precision bonus was added to Gal, which negates the advantage, so again, Minmatar would be inferior.

Firstly, again, because with the number of Lows on a Gal, they can hack and run reasonably well relative to Minjas, with more HP. Secondly, because when hacking, Precision and awareness are important to prevent yourself from being snuck up on, in which case the edge goes to Gal.

The only way to do it would even begin to give us a role, would be to ensure that hacking speed margins between us and others were significant enough to make people want it. But let's face it, hacking is a more niche role than knifing, and if someone had to choose a suit that hacked the average speed, but could do other things, and a suit that could hack really really fast, and do not much else, people are going to choose the former.

One thing I remember from the 1.0 - 1.7 Uprising (?) days, was that, even considering how few scouts there were ( 5-10%?), 80% of those were Gal scouts. And of those, many chose the role because of knifing. Removal of the bonus not only minimizes the utility of the Minmatar Scout, but it erases it's identity.

This is precisely the point.

If knives are equally effective, there is no point to the Minja.

You can say what you want about speed hacks, but with all the Low Slots, Gal Scouts can fit enough CBs to hack fast enough. The marginal difference between Gal hacks and Min hacks would not be worth it, in just the same way speed differences are largely irrelevant.

You would turn the Min Scout into what the Amarr scout is currently. A scout with unique bonuses no one wants because they can do well enough on the other scouts, plus have advantages Minmatar don't. And considering Minmatar have much less HP, you may as well delete the suit and save the reasources.

It is not unprecedented for suits to have weapons bonuses. There are bonuses to AR, swarms, Lasers, Scramlers, things that go boom etc.

Tl; Dr Removing the knife bonus and giving it to everyone effectively kills the Minja.

Min Scout best Scout, always. <3

Don't know if I mentioned but I skilled Cal Scout to 3 like a month ago. Can confirm the Minja is better.

I had Gal Scout at 4 many, many months ago. Minja was still better then.

Haven't run Amarr Scout.

Bear in mind that I've run my Minja in all situations, pubs, FW and PC. The Minja is just a fantastic suit, and excels at everything relevant.

This is what I meant lol. The Gallente can achieve levels of competition above the Minmatar all because of the greater lows, regen, health, and damp bonus.

The Gallente can catch up in hacking with a very narrow margin.

The Gallente can catch in speed with a very narrow margin.

The Gallente can gather both more health and regen. Margin is slightly larger.

The Gallente can damp better, with less modules. Large margin.

Better fitting space.

Gallente is capable of better precision, without the cost of your main tank.

Worse at knife damage, with a large margin.

The pros far outweigh the ones that the Minmatar have.

Your anecdotes don't actually confirm anything here.

As for the Caldari, I'm not too sure. The Minmatar has a better slot layout, but the Caldari have better everything else.

What would musturd say?
