Ouch lol. I run knives with my gal with great success. Snazzbear sliced me up quick lol Man, when you spot a scout with knives in a 1v1 situation; lock the doors, close the windows and whip out those knives. The fight can be over in 3 seconds. lol

So after running around in my dragonfly for...ever I'm thinking it's about time I spec into an advanced suit. Which way should I go?? Mini?? I don't use knives currently but like speed. Or the other scout as I like scan bonus at least if it ever works. Not sure of other benefits. If u have Time let me know your opinions and reasoning. I don't have enough total sp to make mistakes (like I did by spec ar lvl 4...) thanks any help is appreciated

Y U kill wang annie!!!!!

My personal opinion is that if you don't plan on ever using Nova Knives you would probably benefit more going Gallente. It has more Low Slots so you can triple stack those Kincats and end up going faster than the Minny Scout. Yes, the Minny is more durable though the only time that is going to matter mostly is if you are hit by a sniper. Gallente is most likely going to be one shot while the Minny, if core skills are up, will probably survive with a few armor slivers(unless proto or thales then bye bye). Ideally a Scout should never be sniped because we should always be moving though.

Congrats on your 49 page thread, you have something cool here.
So I'm in a gal crisis, I don't know what to tank, what can I do with my suit since scanning is fudged. Any good combos for adv and bsc fittings. Maybe focus on hacking at the moment? Any good success stories I should take into consideration?

no joke with the hitscan weapons, increased range, and the fact that meters are treated like feet for some odd reason speed tanking can be a harm rather then a help

I knifed your corp mate in PC he was my only kill, name is quickgloves.

Range is our best strength, scouts are good @ facechecking or cherry picking,.

yea i know, me an my terms,..

I dont think hacking is a good build for a scout, ( seems like a logi thing with more hp )

if you use your gal bonus nubs in front of you will do the fighting off your scan, people are like moths flying at lights man,.

Just pump it up to 40+ m and let the noobs flock to the red lights, be the last one to fire an pick up kills or assists then hide,

Scouts are fine when they get used like snakes, radar is perfect atm and exploited by the ones that know it works..

/edit, well i guess its not perfect, but I do love how blind everyone is that thinks its broken,. cheers

Not at the same speed, at 90% of the max run (not sprint) speed of the dropsuit you are using. We're hoping to give the scouts some love in 1.5 but the vehicle rebalance is our priority so keep your fingers croseed we have time.

I am somewhat successful with the following setup for ADV Gal:

Militia shotty
Advanced Assault SMG
Militia locus nades

Std RE's

Two advanced kin cats for lows
Two advanced shield recharges in the high's (the ones where you get an overall shield "penalty", the penalty is a % which means it only drops your shields by 1 or 2 points total and increases your recharge rate a ton).

Srry haven't been on in a week or so to give exact names and whatnot, but you get the drift.

I did notice that the advantage from higher tier shotty's is minimal compared to the additional CPU/PG costs. Better to go higher tier with your secondary currently, and conserve CPU/PG by keeping militia shotty.

What I've wondered, though, is this: I'm at level 3 on SMG OP ... is the M209 you can get at lvl 4 worth the upgrade over the 512-A? It looks like it would be...

The extra RoF (and I think maybe extra range?) is nice, but I think in general its not worth the extra pg/cpu, and extra isk, if it means making sacrifices elsewhere. Knowing I can do plenty of damage with whatever SG/SMG combo I go with, I always fit weapons last, and the SMG last of all. Optimize your modules and equipment first, then use whatever remaining CPU and PG you have left for the best weapons that'll fit.

Cool, thanks man. Right now, I generally fit my little Toxin SMG in there, so I can have the modules I want ... and I will eventually skill up my SMG OP and SS attributes, anyway, whether I use any higher-tier weapons or not. But I've been wondering about that little Assault SMG...

Much appreciated!

So not to go into too much detail here but I have almost 2.2 million unassigned atm. I have lvl 5 passive armor, biotics, core and shields. Lvl 3 scanner, lvl to electronics and whatever the other one is (gives 5% pg and pcu). Most everything else is lvl one ie all modules. I am set for guns atm and have lvl 3 damage mods. Now I don't have dropsuits past my dragonfly. So... Which way should I go here. Get an advanced suit and get some enhanced mods? Straight up proto a suit. Or proto a couple modules? Or just get a handful of enhanced modules. Or do nothing til 1.5.

Help from my scoutly bros is as always greatly appreciated. I am really digging having this resource so if you get some time what opinions do you have on this. Which modules are most important, and level of suit you need to run them. Thanks mates
