I'll freely admit - confused what exactly this is about ^

All I I know is that I'm on the list now - I haven't looked at it for months, but im presuming that was in response to my QQ XD

So thanks - I normally wouldn't care about rep/recognition, but the dust community is so small and New Eden is famously built on such things, so it's nice just to know my long winded scout posts in this and other threads aren't completely meaningless.

I agree it would be a shame if this place got trolled or was the place people came to QQ about scouts. Ideally there will be a place for scouts to discuss scouting, and ideally, that would be here. Directing individual scouts from the new reg here is probably the best compromise considering the range of views being presented...this is all just 'IMHO' though.

That's enough about all that from me anyway...

My name is actually an anagram of a famous writer's...I do get called 'Van' a lot though...

It's actually the third and least favourite variation as well, but it's the one that happened to have the most versatile starter fits...

If they play using scout tactics, I do. Especially if they run dampeners to obtain scout levels of dampening. We have some folks that run the dragonfly with no Spook scout levels. I run militia Minmatar light frame w/ a dampener and I feel I'm scouting when I do this. Oswald did/does this with his dragonfly and I consider him one of those that epitomize scoutly play. I will enjoy going against his updated Cal-Scout situational awareness using my upgraded Spook-Scout stealth in 1.8.

Also, would it be worth it to drop the Cloak if I had the 2 Complex Damps? Would the Dampeners even get me around Proto Scanners? Or should I use a Scanner and Remotes? :o I would guess that for the majority of your play, you wont need any damps, with New ScoutGäó I think proto scanners are going to be even rarer than they are now. They're certainly going to be a whole lot les useful than they are now. (no spin, allegedly, and horrific cooldown times)

To those who are for a new updated one, you wanna feel special? To those that are against, you afraid of not being hipster special? waste of energy imho, the scout community don't need this kind of segregation, bring this topic back to GD, don't make another registry, and keep that thread on topic, those who are afraid of the FOTM, this thread is maybe our best weapon to educate these scrubs. just my 2 isk Minmatar, In rust we trust!!!

Bayeth Mal OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 137	Posted - 2014.02.25 06:32:00 - [10454] - Quote I may be wrong but I think of NK as being the Minnie SG. The idea of having racial knives and shotguns seems silly to me. Allready the AR, RR and CR are all too similar, just different flavours of vanilla, ScR is different enough to be worth it. Unless the Amarr get light sabers, then I'm ok with it, but I'd prefer a light and a heavy melee weapon, imagine taking out a tank in a heavy suit with a war hammer.
Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2272	Posted - 2014.02.25 08:54:00 - [10455] - Quote Racial melee weapons would be cool but not necessarily knives. Amarr could have the glaive (mentioned in one of the amarr lore stories) - oh, or was that a minmatar weapon being used by an Amarr? Minmatar would definitely have some sort of blunt hammer type instrument. And caldari would surely have some cold steel sword style thing. Same for racials of anything else - they shouldn't just be different versions of the same thing; they should be different weapons with similar purposes. In much the same way that there is the dumbfire plasma launcher and the lock-on swarm missile launcher - they are both medium range AV (supposedly) but vastly different playstyle.

At the moment yes because there is no alternate specialization. I still think though that any scout style bonuses should only go to that class and not be extended to the basic (as some have argued for) because when Pilot and any others come along there has to be a differentiation made.

The way I see it, it has less to do with what you use and more with how you use it. We are still talking about suit frames here right? I agree it is really about how you are approaching the use of your suit. Though this is not to say that using a light frame as a light assault does not mean you are not a scout. Plenty of people use the scout frame that way, (hell the Amarr frame seems to be designed that way) there are a lot of ways to approach being a scout, it's an abstract role in my opinion.

The basic jist of the situation is this: Case #1: We open a new scout registry on page 520-ish of this thread, using one of my posts which I keep editing as new scouts wish to be registered. The original (closed) registry remains on the first post of this awesome thread and is untouched (remains closed), the fist page does link to the page with the new registry with all the current scouts.... that way there doesn't need to be a separate threads for a new scout registry. And all scouts share the same home. Case #2: No change to anything. If a new scout registry pops up somewhere else folks register there if they want. maybe that thread dies due to it's author not updating, scouts not posting etc.... maybe it lives and we have 2 scout thread naughts. Scouts could potentially have two big threads they may want to monitor. Most folks want to go with not creating a new registry for scouts in our thread naught here. Keep this place somewhat hidden from view. If anyone else has an opinion please let me know - I'd like to get back to shotty soon.

For me, I dont like #1, because something like that in the middle, is just too... messy. Case #2 sounds like it implies (some random person makes a new one). I think a "Case #3: 'official' one made by old guard", could be the nicest way to go, since that gives the benefit of a top-level fresh start. Plus we can structure the first 5 (maybe 10?) posts as appropriate placeholders, based on knowlege gained from the past 10,000 posts. And, it would avoid a split of scoutly resources. We've hit the big 514 here. Seems like there isnt much left to achieve that would be specific to this thread. Oldtimers can always come grouse here about "the way things were", of course. But if we want to encourage the next wave of scouts to "Be all they can be", seems like we should take a more active hand in things. IF this were generally agreeable, we might also have a discussion about which forum area would be the best for it. General, may not be the best. Not sure.
