No, Scout Registry, The Gallente suit need a bonus to precision, it is too low right now ad has no high slots to stack the mods. . . unless the scout hugs include bringing the Scout back to its Chromosome level with 6 slots at proto.

precision isn't helpful because of three things

1) lopsided role bonus to profile

2) precision mods operating at one meta level below dampening mods

3) precision is mainly just used to catch scouts

Boost the base statistic if its too low. Don't make it a Racial Bonus.
Too boring and far less effective than Active Scanners.

If scouts are getting a base of 35 that is essentially is our old/current bonus, which is 34 when rounded compared to a base of 35 which is what CCP proposed, so with the suggested innate damp in the suit its already there. Add in an additional 25%, brings all scouts down to 27 (when rounded up), so perhaps this is intentionally. One also has to consider if the counters are still viable especially when we are getting the cloak, not saying it is or isn't but CCP will be concerned about it.

Another thing to consider is the current precision vs dampening meta game makes precision one of the most useless stats, thus most of us ignore it for the most part due to the fact that our profiles are innately so much lower than our precision, and our base precision is enough to catch most medium frames. I would like precision to be a more meaningful stat thus I am actually in favor of removing lopsided profile/precision, which is easily enough to throw any reduce number innately on our suit without it having to be a skill, so I think an overall cpu/pg reduction on anything with a biotic/electronic tag on any item or module would be a better role bonus.

I'm not going to go into huge detail but I think they is a discrepancy between your gal/min vs your cal/am scouts in skill utility. That being said, since I don't like a role bonus favoring profile over precision, I still think the gal scout should be profile reduction (which is what it is in eve), and the radius bonus, though I understand if I ruffle a few feathers with that one.

of the other two a few issues in utility in your proposition

Cal Scout
1) the cal scout is rendered moot by your gal scout
2) The cal scout bonus you suggested wouldn't even protect a team of mediums from a regular advance scanner
3) Running with medium frames is generally a bad idea in general unless they have ran scout because they don't move quite as intelligently
4) I would image the reduction to active scanners would be difficult to implement

Am Scout
1) The purpose to stamina is equipment running, so would need another a EQ slot over other scouts to justify this role
2) As you suggested if it got the stamina boost, it would need the cooldown reduction as well to open it up.

In addition

I believe CCP is actually getting rid of firing mechanic when cloak based on the fact in the "scouts not satisfied thread" they were inquiring about what the new c-scout bonus would be (and not the others), and the only reason I can come up with why they would just ask for the cal scout is due to the fact that bonus will no longer be part of the mechanic (they also have addressed the cpm's no cloak firing thread), which is why I'm thinking there will be no firing from cloak, thus I believe CCP is still fishing for their cal scout, so I don't believe anything is set for it.

Mother Fluxing EZ Mode

And I thought shotgunning these spoiled b*tches was difficult....

---

Got the drop on a Proto Amarr Logi.
ScP x3 to the back then slash with proto NKs.
( ^ This tends work well by way)
He jumps, spins, fires his mass driver once.
I'm dead. He still has 600+ HP. F*cking EZ Mode.
I didn't even know people still used mass drivers!

---

Got the drop a the same Proto GalLogi, three times in the same match.

First time, I hit him with charged proto NK swipe. Dead to rights.
He spins, burps his CR once ... maybe twice.
I'm dead. He still has 500+ HP.

Second time, I hit him with 3-4 rounds with my ScP ... shields down.
Jump directly at him, half-charging proto NK. Slash! Less than 30% HP remains.
He proceeds to backpedal faster than I can close the gap (all the while slashing).
His CR burps once ... maybe twice ... I'm dead.

Third time, I got that b*tch.
Stalked him for a good while.
Waited for someone else to chip away at his 1000 HP.
Ran up and stabbed him while he was weakened and reloading.

So, I made Flako a bit mad today, and I want some feedback on this.

In short, I was playing against Flako, a buddy of his from uptown, and Nyra Volki. So, we go all Scout out, and have our knives out. However, we also all have our primaries ready to go because of all the Med Frames (I had my ACR, Flako had an AR I think and I think Nyra went SMG).

Anyways, I pretty much went on tear that round. I had like 16-20 Knife kills that round, not excluding my ACR which was used whenever another scout approached me with something other than a knife, and for any poor red dots.

So, I have a great round, and shoot a GG to Flako and Nyra. I was surprised at the hate I got back from this. Now, I can understand someone getting mad about GG when the game wasn't even close at all. However, the game was actually REALLY close, and came down to almost 50 clones before we won (on our side) compared to their 30.

But that wasn't why he was angry. Apparently, I was a little B**** for not taking them on head on. I knifed Flako twice that match, and both times was when I snuck up and stabbed him while he was letting some poor fool have a taste of his AR.

Yes, you heard me. I did not rush in there and take them on head on. Apparently that is what "Real Nova Knifers" do.

So, I shoot back in the chat channel a very simple question. "WHY THE HELL WOULD I FIGHT YOU HEAD ON?"

If flanking and knowing what fights I should run away from makes me a b****, then I will gladly stay one. I just have no idea why someone would get so mad at refusing to fight a battle where I would be at a clear disadvantage. That's just not smart tactics.

TL;DR
Flako called me a b**** for refusing to fight his squad head on. I reply asking why the hell I should fight people head on in a scout suit. Am I a b****? Or is Flako just angry at getting knifed two or three times in a match. Help me out here, cause I feel like I have done nothing wrong here.

lol He must've been pretty mad.....using tactics is not being a *****, it's being smart.

Dear Diary,

CCP Pleasant surprised me to the point I almost broke out into tears.

I just wished this could have happened months ago but alas if this continues for the next council I have done a job well done.

Sorry about the soggy pages,

IWS <^-^>

Yeah the cal scout bonus was ccp's idea but i liked it so i decided to use it...i think its a good counter especially in a perma scanned battlefield that most of us run into nowadays, but id also like to see a ludicrously high base scan range on the cal scout but also very high precision, so that the scout is performing its primary task of being a counter to scanners,

Good to see someone agrees.

I really wanna just chalk this up as Flako being mad, but I was curious about your guy's take on this.

Is it rude not to take on other scouts head on? I personally stalking and being hunted by other scouts. Keeps me on my toes

So earlier today I posted up in the scouts united about finding a thale's sniper... Here's the video.

lol i like this guy

"Scouts.....you are the truth. Any true scout still playing this sh*tty game is our lord christ/muhhamed/buhhda all rolled into one. You have got the biggest ass raping and still play. i love you for it."

I took my mandatory months worth of Dust leave, and you dirty hippy Icelanders still have this game jacked up beyond all belief.
