I realised the other day that it's not the weakness of the scout that gets to me alot of the time (even though it's annoying as hell), it's the faulty equipment.

remote explosives/proximity mines

nova knives

shotty

active/passive scanners

are all on the fritz don't care bout my KDR so I wouldn't mind dying so much if i could use my gear to relyably fight back and score some kills ya know?

thoughts?

Yea man, all of these have caused us to die pre-maturely! The REs in specific have gotten me killed and not the target because they fizz out or the explosion doesn't get them. Truly in your words, it is the equipment/weapons that is failing us BIG TIME (rush).
My corp mate was telling me how it is a thrill to have 180 EHP, we can manage the stresses of combat in a glass suit and survive and kill! This is really hard, pat yourselves on the back for this, because this shows that we pack skill and we are no noobs.

Here's something fun to do, look at the killfeed and see who has a pro weapon and then hunt him down! You will truly feel like a hitman when you prioritize targets. Last night I bagged me an Ishukone Assault Forge Gun Big smile

Recently I was parkouring and I saw a lone cal suit, I timed the drop and landed on him with my knives charged. I hope you feel the rush I just described!

Bojo The Mighty Zanzibar Concept 1470	Posted - 2013.08.14 18:28:00 - [991] - Quote Scout G-1 GB-9 Breach Assault Rifle Breach Scrambler Pistol Locus Grenades Enhanced Shield Extender Basic Armor Plate Basic Repair Module Nanohives It's less of a scoutty fit but because it's relatively tanked for a G-1, it's a beastly Short Range fitting. It can still out strafe things in CQC even with plates but the GB-9 wrecks heavies. Wrecks a lot of things, including other scouts. The GB-9 is also conservative on ammo, less shots to kill and all that. Switch the breach pistol if you don't use scrambler pistols. It's a skill weapon but a rewarding one though not everyone can use it. I've considered using remote explosives on this but I'll have to take a gander at the CPU/PG leftovers. I have no idea why I gave away my bread and butter fitting but I did, now enjoy it.
mollerz Minja Scouts 892	Posted - 2013.08.14 19:26:00 - [992] - Quote One comment on shotguns- the duvolle specialist shotty is far superior to the basic shotty. Against a super heavy it will be the differecne of 2-3 shots vs emptying your shotgun with the potential for being F'd because even one of your shots didn't register. A duvole spec uses less than the usual proto shottys, and you definitely take anyone down. When I do run shotty, I like to leap and fire when I land facing the prey dead on and immediately running to the next prey. I don't like having to shoot people more than once, so proto shotty all the way for me. I can hit scouts in the legs and they are done. As far as the fighting like a snake comment... that does work great. But as a minja scout, I run the front lines with knives and an AR. I do pretty damn good, and I get to choose when to enter and leave the battle like it's a swimming pool. I just want to say, if you want to fight front lines as a scout, it is certainly doable. You just have to be very very aggressive. I even have people running away from me now! Nothing is more satisfying than chasing down and killing an assault or logi that just couldn't take you anymore and thinks they can run for the hills

Matticus Monk Ordus Trismegistus 359	Posted - 2013.08.14 21:34:00 - [994] - Quote My favorite thread of the forum, by far.... Want to say I had a series of excellent games today with Niuvo, Nyra and Nestil today. Awesome squadding with you all! We were really a pack of hyperactive, rabid wolves.... it was epic. A few times in particular I just didn't have the juice to finish off a target or two, and one of the other scouts would come around behind and I'd get my +25 assist. Gotta watch your six there redberry.... Anyway, although I finally got my proto Gal scout suit yesterday, I lack the proto modules for my fit (lacking proto stamina, armor reppers, weapons still) so I run my STD dragonfly most times. My favorite cheap/effective standard fits are: Initial deploy, hack, and speedy assault: Exile AR Toxin SMG Basic shield Ext Basic drop U/L Std Kin/Cat Std Armor repper Std Locus CQC: Militia SG (or another Toxin) Toxin SMG Enh kin/cat (sometimes complex if I can fit it depending on primary weapon) Std stamina Std Nano hive Std locus Frontline "Assault" AR Toxin SMG Complex Shield Basic plate Basic Armor rep Std locus Recon AR Toxin Std profile enhancer or shield extender Enhanced range extender (really helps w/ L5 range skill, and L5 gallente scout bonus) Std armor rep Std NH Std locus I think these are all under 8k ISK.
Niuvo The Phoenix Federation 338	Posted - 2013.08.15 04:19:00 - [995] - Quote Does anyone else enjoy meleeing for the kill. The animation while you hold the knives is funny, a left hook to the jaw! If scouts weren't boned in the first place, we wouldn't have this beautiful forum and family here. Good gaming and keep humiliating the enemy! We are combat ready, ccp isn't lol Thanks for the input on the Gal fittings. Wow so I knifed the ceo of stb, good to know *scratches name off hit-list lol. To all those new to the scout family, we recommend getting your "tie" (mods) as high as possible and then get the suit. Also get your core skills as high as possible. A pack of scouts is just evil.

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 I would not go further than advanced minni scout. I use the following fit on my advanced minnie scout: 2 Complex Shield extenders enhanced cardiac regulator enhanced Kinetic catalyaser Standard shotgun Standard scrambler pistol Standard remotes locus grenades I do have all my core skills maxed out though.

I don't care about likes either way so its not a 'farming exercise' by any means. I just want people to think about the implications of what they are asking for, and CCP to think (however likely that might be) before doing something.

These mods are working fine. the green juice and shield ext. should be everyones' focus. 1.4 will offer 50 HP to adv. ferroscales which will benefit us.

Match starts (bridge map), and a moment later Scout Brother Tyjus Vacca's killfeeding with a fancy sniper rifle. I sniffed every hill looking for him, finally working my way to the facility rooftop. By the time I got to him, the match was dang near over. He was at 20/0. Tyjus ended the match with 20/1. He respawned and killed me, so I ended up with 1/1. *Note to Self: Don't hunt the Scout Snipers unless they're hunting you .
