The stupid 3rd person view is probably what keeps tanks alive. think how limited and easy to kill or easy to avoid if the pilots could only use 1st person view. Fortunately the cloak should help me get on top of the tank to drop my boundless remotes on them.

I'm still doubting the usefulness of cloaks - they're really only sounding good for moving around and you can't do anything else whilst cloaked. Try to get into a good position to take someone out, decloak, shoot, they survive easily because they're tanked to the hilt and it now takes half a pistol clip or several shotgun blasts to kill anyone, enemy turns around and kills you.
What will I be able to do with a cloak? I guess sneaking up on tanks will be easier but it's already pretty easy now - just gotta come from the side and hope they don't move.
One of the things I love is when they do notice you but think that because you're a scout, they'll be able to take you if they hop out and start spraying. Usually what happens is I run around the other side of the tank, still throwing remotes on it, blow the whole thing and the splash kills the driver in his heavy suit :) Or even better, like last night, the driver chases me off on foot, I chuck another remote on the ground and kill him, then steal his tank!

In other news, spent my saved 3.2M SP last night - wasn't really saving it for anything; just couldn't decide if anything was worth skilling up since November. So I went from 4 - 5 in engineering, 0 - 5 in precision enhancement, 3 - 5 in dampening, 2 - 4 in grenades and 1 - 3 in shield extenders and that's me all cleaned out. Felt good :)
My next aim is to get extenders to 5 but that'll be sometime in 1.8 and by then I may have decided otherwise. My gal scout could do with more shields, especially since damage mods are being nerfed. I'm actually considering shield tanking my adv gal in 1.8 using extenders and regulators to have basically perma shields - is this viable? Am I being an idiot? Tell me now so I don't waste my time if this is a stupid idea.

Hey guys, long time scout here, been playing shotgun scout since last may (when I started playing), I used to roll around in a dragonfly bpo w/ a PLC before I had the sp to get a really nice shotgun scout. Now I've got a ~15m SP proto min scout, proto shotgun, flaylock, knives, the works.
Anyway I was told in irc to come here and ask about nos nothi and also heard something about a chat channel in game fr scouts. Def interested, speed tank 4 lyfe |

@ Django To date, I've personally preferred Extenders to Regulators or Enhancers. Will be interesting to see if changes in 1.8 will add value to the latter.
@ Scottie Join in-game channel "Scouts United" and run with the Scouts you see posting this thread. Show them what you told us, and they'll fill you in. Looking forward to squadding with you. o7 |

I'm thinking Manus Peak will actually become a fun thing for scouts. Particularly if the southside socket is that big pyramid-type building. Sneak in. Start from the back. Clean out building with knives |

I've no points in WU put 5 in shields - it's gonna be easier to fit two complexes in 1.8 and there is a quicker depleted recharge (but less recharge rate...I don't think it'll matter too much) all scouts are natural while tankers in my eyes.

I think thats a bit of an overstatement. Getting them past 3, takes ludicrous amounts of SP. To get just one of them from 3 to 5, you use the same amount as getting multiple other skills from 0-3 And the return is marginal. Getting them past 3 really doesnt matter unless you're attempting to run multiple proto modules on an ADV suit, as far as I've seen.

Oh let Quil be a level 3 skilled guy. He'll be level 5 cored out one day, and he'll come back here and tell newer scouts they should if they were smart.

Do it now, well not a bunch, I rarely (virtually never) stack more than one of the same module on a fitting. It actually works half decent now. 1.8 it will be excellent. best results for survivability I find:
Basic Reactive (I hate movement penalties) Rep (whatever level you want to fit, I find enhanced works good on my littler fits)
Then add whatever to suit the fit as you see fit. Ferro adds nicely if you want to slay (but i recommend upping the Rep level to complex to cut time) Codebreaker when working remote and defending Letters generally some stuff i use.
Edit: I don't mean "Marauder slay" so much as more combat orientated.

so was reading in GD about something, and it got into a discussion about how some weapons weren't OP its just that the general public never learned how to deal with them and instead chose to come and QQ on the forums
which brought up whats your favorite way to exploit peoples stupidity
I kind of like hacking rail turrets then standing in front of them and drawing fire

I think we played 3 matches and the other guys in secret channel didn't reply or post anything. We could have used another member, so hope we see Monk soon.
Got Ninja Troll's Gal scout to Level 4 yesterday, so don't need a dampener anymore. (Unless proto scanner) I agree with Django's comments on the cloak. I'll probably just get the basic cloak.
I like the adv Min scout on this character, but I might change it if we get a respec. Maybe Gal scout to Level 4 and get Min scout later.

I did it on my gal logi by stacking 4 complex reppers and it usually doesnt work very well. You just don't have the buffer. In those sort of situations you usually wanting to play the range game since you take less damage, but since the advent of RR galore. You don't have much choice. I had plenty of deaths where my armor said 35 and was dead, due to being "alphaed"
I was much better off stacking adv plates out to 800+ armor and standing on top of a wiki triage hive (RR+3 dmg mods). You end up being a little less mobile, but its almost OP do it on a little hill where your enemies cant kill your hive. Its actually how I usually counter snipe as well, except I toss down 2 wiki triage hives and an alloteck for 180hp/s regen.
The changes in TTK may improve active tanking however, so we might have to test again post 1.8.
Improvements to shield recharge are also usually not worth it IMO. 20% doesn't usually change the speed with which your delay actually improves. Remember, Dust rounds, (& there are server ticks) so if you can't get it above/below a specific threshold its not going to provide ANY benefit.
For shield tanking suits, you are normally better off with a little more buffer/speed. I never use reactive as I don't think it has much advantage compared to the single mods.

That last RE trap was beautiful I saw you in just before it went off. I assume you had it in place for the ceiling droppers, that is a great spot for one
Level 4 is one of those turning points in a scout career, I find it makes such a difference.
