I'm not a full time scout you know We say no to knives n' shotgun combo because of range limitations. Just choose a weapon that is still viable at CQC, but also has range. I run ACR and Knives. Very good mix. Excellent CQC abilities, and the ACR still tears people up at range. Versatility is king. Assault SMG is also usable. Better for maps where range isn't really an issue. Pistols can also be used, as they have decent range as well. Personal preference really. Get over it. If you don't play to win in FW, then you're playing for Caldari. -Patrick57 Minmatar.

Scout Registry 435	Posted - 2014.01.12 16:09:00 - [6909] - Quote Experimenting with two inexpensive Dragonfly fits for the Event. Here's what I've got so far: Initial Loadout (12k) PW: Rail Rifle SW: ZN-28s GR: [Empty] HS: Cmp Shield LS: Bsc CardReg, Militia CPU Chip EQ: R-9 Uplink Followup Loadout (16k) PW: Rail Rifle SW: ZN-28s GR: [Empty] HS: Cmp Shield LS: Enh Card Reg, Bsc Dampener EQ: A-19 Active Scanner * Electronics IV, Engineering IV Explanation Playing lots of solo Domination. Ambush is still a Tank fest (each round I play, at least). Skirmish favors the squad over the soloist. That leaves us with Dom, so Uplinks are a must. I'm dying quite often learning the do's and dont's of NKs, soI start the match in the UL fit (and pull it back out periodically). This keeps my squishy arse in the action and generates a few free WP. I plan to tinker with Advanced Fits today. Will keep you posted.

I'm not a full time scout you know Pistol is the epitomy of a scout choice. 1. It's a skill weapon 2. it still requires you to get close-ISH... 30m or less 3. If you stick to the level 3, its low grid consumption but most importantly, 4. A single headshot, can take out many of your enemies. 4, can take out a heavy I'd love to use an ARR instead full time, because of the range... but it just consumes waaay too much CPU

I went 20/0 with my CSR. awesome sniper moment for me. I also tried another rifle, The R/R. it is nice, but... I have come to the conclusion that I do not have the dexterity for one on one gun game. Either my ADS just goes everywhere while I am trying to shoot, or trying to shoot while being popped by one bullet and lay'd down to dirt. Happens all the time. Wasting my clones and coin. I need to wise up. I found an interesting weapon: the assault rail. its almost like different weapon. The doubled rate of fire, means that more shots get on target if they're moving. Try treating it like a midrange full-auto sniper rifle. (and yes, crouch helps a lot) Also, you dont want to fire more than 10 shots in full auto. manually burst it. Because there's some kind of anti this-gun-is-too-awesome feature, that deliberately pushes off your aim around 10 shots... but before that, its almost as solid as a ScR You can try it with 'low money down" by getting a few Caldari FW points and buying it from the store, without skilling all the way to 4. Although I think the extra levels help a bit. Additional tip: I find that, simlar to my use of blaster turrets, I do better on a moving target, if I aim just AHEAD of them, hold still, andthen let them walk into it.
Shutter Fly molon labe. Public Disorder. 166	Posted - 2014.01.12 16:27:00 - [6912] - Quote I've got a couple fits made up that I've been running. At the rate I've been getting knife kills, I should even be able to make the 200 cap, so they must be working pretty well. 'Dragonfly' Scout G-I Militia Blueprint Shield Extender Combat Rifle ZN-28 Nova Knives A-45 Quantum Active Scanner Enhanced Kinetic Catylizer Enhanced Armor Repairer or Scout G/1 Enhanced Shield Extender Complex Shield Extender Combat Rifle ZN-28 Nova Knives A-45 Quantum Active Scanner Enhanced Armor Repairer Enhanced Kinetic Catylizer Pretty straightforward: Scan, pick a potential target, execute, get out, repeat. I use the scanner because it makes it much easier to pick safe targets without being in danger and allows me to either escape after the kill or easily plan for additional kills. The G/1 in particular is good at making repeated approaches in very quick succession, and keeping heavy pressure on a group of enemies makes it much easier to bait bad approaches.
Quil Evrything Triple Terrors 713	Posted - 2014.01.12 16:32:00 - [6913] - Quote mollerz wrote: Also I charged Quilly in a rail tank tonight with fluxes and basic REs. Better run Quilly! Didnt catch me though, did you? :) (for my part, I was disappointed that I didnt manage to bullseye you with my rail. Good jumping, rabbit ) I basically had a DUST-fest yesterday, in which I did a fair amount of tanking. I was almost disappointed at the lack of RE-ness against me. Having been on the other side, and watching the tanks that survive, I know that the bane of RE deployment, is simply to keep moving (along unpredictable roads) Funny think about tanking.. its kinda like sniping to me. I got skilled into sniping, mostly to counter-snipe. I'm now at proto level Similarly, I got into tanking, mostly for anti-tank (and anti-DS ) purposes. Hence why my go-to tank of choice,is a rail. I now have a fairly decent tank. I can head-on charge most other tanks, and win. I can survive a two-tank head-to-head, usually taking out one of them. And all of this, for considerably LESS SP investment, than my sniper escapades. My favourite is a (dont-need-HAV-unlocked) State Gunnlogi. But usually I cruise around in a good ol Sica. Which costs me only 100k. (used to cost me 90k or less, but then I moved up to some adv level modules)

Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2035	Posted - 2014.01.12 19:54:00 - [6920] - Quote Appia Vibbia wrote: I never use ADV suits, so I was not aware of the huge jump in fittings between the two(with engineering and electronics 5) It really is a massive issue. I only ever use advanced suits in pubs because no matter what I wear, chances are I'll take a few stray bullets from 100m and die 4 or more times and this would result in huge isk losses in proto suits but still nets a healthy profit in advanced with advanced weapons. I recall from when I did a few spreadsheets on the fittings discrepancies between all the suits at all levels that the proto scouts have actually comparable fittings per slot to other classes but the standard and even more so the advanced scout suits have significantly less CPU per slot than any other class at any level. This absolutely must be rectified when the new suit changes come in. As it is, with electronics level 5 and engineering level 4, running an advanced gallente scout suit with 2x advanced sidearms, standard nade and standard REs allows me to fit 3 complex modules but the 4th mod slot has to contain at least a militia CPU mod, effectively leaving me with a 2 - 1 slot layout.

Drop the kin cat for a complex green jar if you can as well. For a knifer green > red. Use the savings to go complex dampener perhaps? I am not sure if going from basic to complex matters? There's also nothing wrong with speed tanking- Green AND red jar. You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla
mollerz Minja Scouts 1800	Posted - 2014.01.12 20:03:00 - [6922] - Quote My quintessential knifer fit- M/1nja 1 complex extender 1 complex precision 1 complex green 1 complex red flux RE ZNs RS-90 I swapped out ishnoks and a CR for ZNs and the RS-90 and it seems to be a better move. I can kill much faster than with the basic CR- and it's just a better gun all around. I do feel that twinge of regret when I get killed by a heavy with 78 armor or whatever.. I run a proto suit here and there and really the only difference is my weapons are proto which makes a huge difference in killing. I can;t wait to be abel to afford doing that full time.

Your observations held constant, I'm very much hoping for two equipment slots and a CPU/PG buff for Scouts. Let's hope Remnant has remained true to his original vision, such that Hugs for Scouts =/= Hugs for Everyone. If a few changes happen, CPU/PG increase for Scouts* Second EQ slot would help scouts with cloaks, as well as versatility of roles. 1 more module slot Decrease Profile to 40 (or nerf scanners to a reasonable set up) Increase Scan range to 20 (25 would be awesome) *with an Increase to CPU/PG a decrease to the logi's is also necessary not only to make the new Scout Role bonus viable, but to balance out the customizability of all suits. If the Logi remains high CPU/PG then Assault will still be meaningless, HP tanking will still happen, cloaks will be easier to fit than for scouts (nullifying the benefit of the role bonus) Heavies will struggle to find support.

In my limited experience it seems as if the tankers are getting more RE scout savy. Esp with their 3rd person view and sound letting them know we are placing the RE. I get one on and am immediately backed over, or they take off. I have yet to figure out how to lay a trap and goad them. Nova knifing scout masochist. I would be a sadist, but CCP won't let me.
Quil Evrything Triple Terrors 715	Posted - 2014.01.12 21:27:00 - [6929] - Quote Scout Registry wrote: Setting Scouts apart from other frames with a piece of equipment is more-or-less telling Scouts that they have to use that piece of equipment. Scouts who opt to use other equipment (like those which performs meaningful squad function) will be altogether left out. Given what we know thusfar about Cloak, I would strongly suggest that Scouts be given two equipment slots and an increase to CPU/PG output. This way, a Scout can continue to serve his squad while making use of the new "role advantage" afforded by cloak. having scouts be 'forced' to use a particular piece of equipment, is annoying.. but far MORE annoying, is the apparent alternative: where scouts AND logis both get to run amok with cloaks.

Maybe lay a bunch of REs further behind them, then switch to alternative stuff, and run in front of them "trying" to place it, so they run backwards over the trap. Oh wait that would require a logi. Since it requires a scout's entire payload of REs to successfully kill most tanks. One more place logis are better
