Seeing all those mk.0 suits with the cobat rifle I am getting really jeallous. THey don't even need to pull out their sidearms.

New "I ain't jelly" scout suit:
Logistics gk.0
3 complex damage mods
Republic Combat Rifle
RE, Allotek nanohive, compact nanohive, Federation Active Scanner
2 complex profile dampeners, 2 complex cardiac regulators, complex kinetic catalyzer.

P.S. I have more HP than you even if you use ferroscale plates, elsewise I'll be faster than you.

When the stealth system is introduced in December '16, you won't want this piece of **** logi build anymore.

I've never been able to use remote explosives. *sniff*

lol,then I'll just swap out a red for a complex CPU or complex PG extender so I can fit the Cloaking Device

or use it on my scout gk.0. or my Assault ak.0

Hey Scouts,

All this talk of cloaking devices has me excited. My brother has been playing on my account recently, since he's back in the state for the holiday season, and I've let him sink some of my SP into Gal-Assault 1. I've been tempted to use his fittings, seeing as he has a much greater margin of error between him and death with all of that sweet, sweet EHP.

Still, I remain a scout, and perform best with my Adv scout fits. I'm really hoping that we see some significant gains soon, and the cloak seems promising. I feel a scout with a RR can stay mobile and quickly obliterate enemies from range without ever being seen. A cloaked sniper is just frightening to think about.

Is there any other encouraging news on the scouting front? I need some things to hope for while I watch my brother survive CR blasts and waste my ISK/SP on his assault trappings. The urge to play assault for a bit is pretty high, since he's using my SP on it anyway.

I need scout hope!!!

I should use NKs more often, I've gotten worse at hitting moving targets, it's embarrassing.

don't do it. I just started getting my gun game back. using knives will make you only want to use knives, and going back to guns is painful.

It really is a double edged IshNok.

Having a lot of fun with this fit atm:

Cloaks are going to be equipment, so you won't be able to cloak whilst shooting or even aiming (because you'll have to put the cloak away to take out your weapon, much like the active scanner). Can't see it being much use for snipers really, except for moving between camps, I guess.

Are you certain, Django? Appia (and others) seem to think it'll be a High Slot. A module that warp's shields (rather than extending).

I don't visit the forums much, but since I'm here I'd like to pay my respects to the registry. Also, thanks to Shotty for trying to raise awareness on scoutly issues.

My main wears a scout suit 100% of the time. I played Dust briefly in beta, then came back to it this September. I foolishly thought the scout suit had some inherent stealth value (besides tiny dB differences) and, as I always like stealth play, I invested in it as my only suit (including making all profile skills level 3).

Since learning firsthand of how weak the light suit is, I've been tempted to go medium; I have gone basic medium on my alts, but my main is still a pure scout wearer. That said, I never submitted my name to the registry in part because I wanted my main to be anonymous; but more importantly I don't play as a true scout. I snipe. So while technically being a scout, and being vulnerable to instant death (like two-shot tac-sniper deaths), I don't consider myself a proper scout and therefore am not worthy of being on the board.

I do, however, wish to salute those who wear the light; those about to die (often).

Looks like the JJ jeep qq has started...

^ Linky? All I see is the one about cultural sensitivity. Not the kinda QQ I'd hoped for :-)

On Jihadi Jeeps:
A few days ago, I'd have estimated odds of JJ success to be around 50%. Yesterday, odds were closer to 25% - 33%; lower odds, though still superior to that of proto nades or swarms. Tanks are being slowed down "slightly" Wednesday. We'll see if that helps.

Anyhow, Marauder recommends running Militia Rail tanks (rather than JJ):

Since tanks are a thingGǪ
I started a for fun project with my Min accountGǪ
I am restoring a Sica i found after a battleGǪ fitting with salvage only I call it the Scrapyard Scraper.
Not buying anything for it skill wise or parts wise, just going to see what I can build from salvage.
So far I have armour and a scanner on it and it has loads of space leftGǪ

Might take it out for a spin just to see what is going on with these things. Mostly I want to see what camera view people are using because they seem see me if i get to close to the back to place REs on the soft spot.

And this is what I mean. For a minja, the cloak being in the EQ slot would defeat the purpose. Any real minja would have the EQ built into his suit if it had to be EQ. to keep his knife hands free.

like a bluetooth headset.
