We (Cal scouts) will need a small buff to precision to pull that off.
I don't even think we have the CPU to fit 4....

Here is the question that is on my mind. When we were arguing for scout buff part of the reason was that we were to easily countered by scanners. Essentially Scanners had no counter, ow that that is no longer the case, the discussion has turned to that the Cal scout has one counter?
Perhaps IWS can answer this (perhaps NDA no) DId CCP intend for Gal Scout to be one counter to the Cal Scout? We used to use the argument that if you had situational awareness you could still spot a scout, but we are forgoing that argument for the Cal scout, whys that? The cloak, would be my guess, but situational awareness is still valid in that situation to a degree.
So what is the priority amount scouts Stealth > Passive Scan Passive Scan > Stealth
I honestly don't know what should be the priority Looking at this as what benefits all scouts I am a Bastard above all else.

(-¦-¦-¦)he biggest hurdle withthe scout is sp investment. To do our "role"we need to invest a fair amount of sp into. damping. Range. armour. Shields. Regulators and kinkats. equipment of choice. Light Weapon. sidearm(s) All cpu and pg upgrades. Optimising pg. ( for high pg weapons.) Not to mention you need to get level 5 in your suit of choice as quickly as possible for the bounuses(more so with the gal for the damping.... (-¦+ê-¦) thank god my logi,assault skills can be used. Would not want to be a new scout In scan 514

Yep - an event made for you, indeed! I just missed you in-game last night; I had to log off and get some sleep just as Ninja spotted your alt in channel.
On a secondary note, does anyone else think that this event is evidence that no SP respec is incoming? Either way, extra SP isn't something I'd complain about....

I thought so with the last SP event and its looking even more so now.
I still would prefer a respec as you can always jettison some SP but more on principle especially if we are getting all the suits, there should be one then no matter what.
I had my plan to scale back my weapons and max out my scout skills but the damage profile changes has me contemplating keeping them and even picking up the ScP which I havent used since beta.

Maybe they are trying to reduce the amount of isk in circulation? Sure, they are giving everyone isk, but if they are reducing the pool by more than 1 million isk per merc then its like a backdoor reduction.
Kind of like when they threaten to ubernerf something, then just slightly nerf it and pretend its actually a buff.
To me, this seems like it will encourage more protostomping than anything else. Lets face it, too many people care too much about KDR.
For most of the player base, this is less, how can I embrace the death than how can I kill as many people as humanly possible. I don't even know if the game will be playable this weekend.
Then again, I thought the shinobi event was going to be a scout massacre, and that never panned out. I hope I am wrong this time too.
@Llast
I am digging the unique use of quotes in your posts. If you aren't the first person to do this, you are certainly the first I have noticed. Way to bring forum meta to a new level!

I think you misread, the prize is 1 million Skill Points, not ISK.

I honestly don't know what should be the priority Looking at this as what benefits all scouts I am a Bastard above all else.
Its ALWAYS better to be unseen. So the Gal wins over the Cal every day. The Gal only needs to fit two complex PE to see all the other scouts. The Cal needs to fit 4 cPE to see the Gal. Again its better to be unseen than see others IMO. Because with the current scout meta, it will likely be one or the other. (see others or be unseen)
In that sense the Gal scout is probably the best "scout" IMO. It has the scan range to hunt a majority of other frames and can stay hidden from all but the most drastic and dedicated scanners. All the other scouts will likely be seen to some extent.
In that sense I feel the Gal is likely to be a bit OP as it has no real drawbacks (slot layout is ideal, innate reps, good pg/cpu etc.). But time will tell.

in this event my 3/20 matches will help more than those redline snipers 15/0
if everyone is smart they will all run starter fits and zerg the whole event and not use injectors.

I need some Scouty opinions on this. :3
So, after 1.8, my Caldari Scout fitting will look like this.
With the two Dampeners, I can avoid all Proto scans IIRC, and with the Cloak active I can avoid Gallente Proto Focused Scans. :3 Is this a good stealthy fit, or is having nearly 75% Profile Dampening a bit too much?
I think I'm a forum warrior level 5 :D

Or in my case (and some others) bpo scout suit, bpo shotgun, bpo Scp etc.
We could come up with some games to play.
Skydiving from a CRU dropship dropping corpses onto reds. Bumper Dropships? Get melee kills while holding nova knives (not with them, just while holding them, is there even an animation for that?). Speed tanked PLC only squad. Jihadi Dropships (with full squad on board) Sync against eatch other and have Jihadi Jeep demolition derbys. Shotgun/NK squad, squad leader puts an attack order on a red, first to kill gets a point, rinse and repeat, at the end of the match whoever has the most points gets paid 100k from each of the other players. Squadleader should try and pick the same red each time (poor guy "why are they always coming after me?").
I don't think there's a militia mass driver. IIRC when I wanted to try the MD I had to use some Minnie LP. |

Gal scouts might end up alittle op? Oh no please don't tell me that XD
On the possibility of respec or not passed on this event: from reddit-
[GÇô]sswarrenDrae Rel - BurgezzE.T.F - Logi-Sniper 2 points 6 hours ago
I'm going to take this as confirmation of no respec.
[GÇô]CCP_LogibroCCP Employee[S] 5 points 6 hours ago
I wouldn't. Not saying either way, but I wouldn't take this as an indicator of whether there's a respec or not.
XD Indeed, chase me friend XD

anything that can see you will be at a shield disadvantage for your combat rifle to tear apart aside from the gal scout with focused scanner. |

I thought cloaking would reduce profile 25%.
Wouldn't that make an 18 dB suit 13.5 dB?

Probably has to do with the stacking penalty? Maybe it doesn't count if the module is of a different tier? I am just spittballing.
