Really? I'll swap out my Allotek Breach for an aRR and try this out.

Anything but a Thale's....

Um, what?

Lol, nothing.

Oh, that's cool. I did not notice that if you quoted a post and it was edited that it changed the quote too.
And tell Zatara my scrambler pistol says "hi"

Oh, sounds like something happened :/ I wasn't there for any of those battles, Zatara wouldn't pull me in (for obvious reasons) so I guess I will.

Btw, I was referring to the match yesterday that I was in, I saw you using a Thale's and then I think I killed you once (hard to tell, I was lagging so much).

nothing happened, I've just been getting him with that weapon a lot lately- i've been getting people in proto assault suits with the basic one too lol. You probably did get me if we were in a match together. My KDR is like 1.75 for this war. But I have pulled out the thal'es three times and lost none of my remaining 3

The Killboard has been memorialized and is no longer being updated.
The thread remains active in continued discussion of all things Scoutly.

Kind of enjoying scouts when I get to play a proper match, but every match I've played lately has just devolved into tank spam everywhere.

It's not fun - I saw a 145 - 0 Skirmish match today.

"... you mean to tell me (CCP) that it costs more to manufacture a Rifle than it does a Tank?"

Well, maybe a Minmatar tank.

The only saving grace I've had against tanks is that they are way too eager to hunt us ground pounders and roll past too fast to properly see me.

I do hope CCP fixes the militia injector soon. They also have really fast acceleration, right? I hope that gets reduced as well.

I was under the impression that they fixed it. I've seen zero tanks airborne today. Either way, multi-tank matches -- especially Ambush matches -- are ridiculous.

But the problem is that you get players that aren't interested into specializing into vehicles that get themselves Somas with 0 SP and murder infantry while they are rarely threatened by AV.

The Scout role will get very high PG/CPU bonuses to fitting cloak equipment, making it just about the only role that can feasibly fit a cloak field without having to sacrifice the rest of its fit. Individual race skill bonuses will create opportunities for cloaked scouts to scan further and longer than other dropsuits, to have less GÇ£shimmerGÇ¥ as they move, and have lower innate scan profiles so that they can be visually and electronically invisible. These should help create more useful assassins, intel gatherers, and saboteurs. And in time, the introduction of additional Scout specializations will be added to further push the boundaries of the little Light Suit That Could.

Every match I've played today has had 4 tanks constantly. While some maps, this isn't much of a bother, other maps such as ashlands and manus peak are decided by who has the most tanks as you cannot take or defend points as they're sitting right in the open where tanks can hit them from anywhere or drive right up to them. Pretty frustrating.

Got banned from FW for remoting a red tank. Woooo.

-Snip-

We have all read the blog about scouts but I wanted to look at this closer, because I think it gives out the direction they are going.



Did you guys notice this? If I am reading this right? The scan profile reduction will be one of the racials and not the universal scout bonus. Which means maybe the cpu/pg reduction will become the scout bonus based on the wording.

Also what do you think it means by scanning longer especially when used after the word choice further? Is he referring to the active scanner or is it suggested that passive scans are not 100% or perhaps a lingering effect to passive scanning?

Why I find this interesting is because it looks like we might be getting tied to equipment, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it is note worthy nonetheless.

Also the later features are what I believe will be offensive ewar.

Three Questions for Scouts

---

Given: Assume cloak is released as a piece of equipment tailored to the Scout.

Question 1) As a Scout, what combat / support functions do you currently perform most often?
Question 2) In performing those functions, which equipment type currently serves you best?
Question 3) If said equipment were replaced by cloak, could you perform that function?

Help me get Shotty on the Dust514 hall of fame.

It's a player made community Hall of Fame, dedicated to honoring the "Unsung Hero's" of Dust514.

Imagine what he would do if he came back and found that

Shotty stirs in shallow grave to say, "Thanks, guys. Honored. Must decline. Advised Zion Shad. Will not be returning to Forums. Word "unsuicide" does not exist. Clone Reanimation, non-option for ginger Scout. It is known that gingers have no soul."

It's a hall of fame. People are inducted into those based on performance/contribution and doesn't require the inductee to be alive.

Shotty says, "Then I nominate Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley. These are heroes. I am not."

Pretty words about Scouts or a Scout figurehead aren't the payout we're seeking. My suit is broken. Your suit is broken. This has been the case for six months. Now is no time for vanity. Rather, let's put our effort into pointing CCP in the right direction. When they do -- finally -- get around to us, we don't want them over-correcting (like they did with tanks) or under-correcting (as their MedFrame advisors would have them). They need input from us ... rather, from you guys ... so they won't be led astray by the ill-informed, the tourists and the entitled.
