Glad to be of service. o7

I'd like to pick your brain on the cal scout bonus, because I believe we have limited time to influence cpms and devs at this point

if the precision raiser effective both passive and active, would this suffice? Especially if it worked if we entered their radius not the cal scouts radius?

If it effected both, it would mainly be used to get medium frames in closer to do damage, meaning it would be a squad based scout, which is an interesting concept actually, obviously its not the best bonus, but I don't think we are going to get anything great with such a short time frame. I'd still prefer a precision reduction.

I think they decided not to give us a precision reduction because I believe they want the recon dedicated to the gal scout, because their suggestion for the cal scout was definitely out of the box (not very useful though), and I think they did this to avoid giving cal scouts detection bonuses which competes with the gal scout (despite the fact that a high slot cal scout would be great at detecting other scouts)

If the trade is a must, then yes. F Yes!

However I would hope for refund in the skills?

If we lose sidearm slot, I think it'd be cool if we got a skill refund for the skills. Same if we trade nade slot.

flux nades are critical for taking down objectives.

EDIT- Would love flux locks.

So choose Bojo's next dropsuit

evidently the sidearm is being killed off the scout suit. I can not part with my Scrambler pistol. Perhaps I could waste it on light frames all the way and wait for another light frame addition


But choose my next suit! I was thinking Amarr Assualt. It's gonna have a repper bonus and I just tested my super repped scout today. It had 4 complex reps with the skill bonus. It was by far the fastest recovering suit but it's low overall HP prevented it from being too useful.

you could use an RE instead, perhaps?

Since seemingly the only way CCP can be talked into giving scouts anything is by letting them take something(s) of greater value away, I suppose grenades would be missed the least.

I suppose. But their goes my EQ slot

Look- just hear me out guys...

A grenade slot is a lot more useful than you guys are thinking, and once it is goen it is gone.

A basic flux is 9CPU/2PG.. after maxing out the explosive skill that goes down to 7/2 (if memory serves). It is one of the few items a CPU/PG starved suit can fit. Any new scout clawing through the grind will find fluxes invaluable. Even locus which is another option for the same cost.

A flux barrage will:

- Clean objectives of enemy REs (by far the most important use)
- Sets up enemy squads to get swept up.
- Can take out a tanks shields
- Can make mercs back off when being pursued
- Probably other uses I'm not thinking of.


IMHO, there are better ways for CCP to fix us. There is no reason to lose a G slot.

How about

1L/1SA/2EQ.

period. done.

wtf is the problem with that?

A logi has 9 mod slots.

where is this scout nerfing logic coming from? it's getting to be ridiculous. WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT GIVING UP A GRENADE SLOT?

@Patrick - Amarr Logi - 6 slots 3 equipment

You were saying.

@Daxxis


He specifically said "mod slots".

You were saying. :P

Btw if you counted Equipment, Cal Logi has 12, as does Min Logi and Gal Logi, Amarr has 10 slots including equipment.

Yes I know

Point is you still have more slots than a scout plus two more equipment slots (1 if they give us another) and you have a sidearm
