I just liked the last 3 posts out of principle

*Damn it kanders!*

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry?

Nah, it's just that when I replied your reply did not exist....thus your post destroyed the correctness of my post

you could always edit it to say you liked the last 4 posts in a row . . . and then like mine.

Played a couple games before work - felt the same.

So contact Nade and flaylock nerf will help us. Do u think there will be any ninja nerf/buffs or stated changes in 1.3 that will help/hurt our scoutly cause

I think the Hunter Scout suit is someone in CCP's feeble attempt to point us in the 'right' direction. Apparently gents, we've been fitting our scout suits all wrong. Did you see the eHP on that thing? < 250. But I heard it's advertised as basically invisible and undetectable. Until of course someone glances at you and happens to fire a few shots....then you are ash.

Oh CCP...you so silly.

The active scanner is working now so it may indeed be a little nudge at what we'll want to be fitting to avoid them and use them effectively

although we still get no sp for it......

But I've never been successfully scanned and I have 0 SP invested into Dampening aside from the racial Gal Scout bonus.

when proto scouts start using proto scanners

I shoud dump some points into scanners, used to use them but got away from it. Certainly dont have enough to go to proto though which may be the only truely useful one. Hopefully with the talk of scanning giving wp some way or another might be worth investing in it though.

CCP will eventually add WP gain to Active Scanning per CCP Wolfman. If you're a CQC scout, I strongly recommend giving even the basic scanners a try. They'll make your attack/retreat routes much easier to plan.

I already had that fitting set up with my 'valor' scout. ccp stole that from me lol.

if you set up the proto gallente scout the same way with 1x c presicion, 2x c range, 2x c profile, charge sniper, ishukone smg, av grenade, and compact nano you still have enough p/g to jump start a tank if you need to, lol. Not sure what the precision is on the best scanner but this set up puts your profile at 17.09 with the range of 47.31. its no scout hunter with only a 32.4 precision but you will see most everything else. This is what I slowly been working to achieve. 2 more levels in range, precision, and gallente scout suit to go.

but what about my remotes? :(

I'm not sure why I don't see more scouts running the AR.... my secondary is SMG. Good tip on maintaining sprint speed switching between secondary -> primary!

I can't say that I'm disappointed with the Gallente racial bonus but overall scouts need better passive range (starting scouts at 15 m would be a big improvement), and lower starting scan precision. Or, the Gallente scout needs another high slot to equip an additional precision enhancer.

If CCP want's us to rely on the active scanner for all of our scanning needs, then the Gallente passive scan range bonus should be ditched for something more appropriate.

@Mollerz:

Most of my fits use the Exile AR these days. I used to go 50/50 w/ a shotgun/AR gameplay style but it's more like 90% AR, 10% sniper these days..... I find that the scout mobility and speed provides huge benefits when trying to engage a medium range, flank, retreat etc... w/ the AR. I'm working my way up to using the TAC (I have an oddball fit with the AUR laser rifles that should run out soon and will need a longer range weapon replacement)

Ive been underwhelmed by my scout's ability to passively detect enemies. I will commonly LOS a red on approach, post up just around a corner, and look over at tacnet in time to see his signature fade... Now i KNOW that most players dont run dampening, so i loaded up a suit with extenders and enhancers:

No change

Also, any squad where the players arent stacked in a pile appears as a glowing blow and i cant differentiate orientation. Anyone else disappointed with the usefulness of our racial bonus?
