Found a breach and assault plasma cannon in the SDE yesterday. 1400 direct damage on the ADV breach one. It seems like my gal scout with plasma cannon will be viable in the future!

Here is my list of weaponry (From most SP to least)
Combat Rifle and SMG : Proto and to lvl 3 in All skills except Optim
Flaylock and NK : Proto and to Lvl 2 proficiency (Flaylock has reload 3)
Shotgun : Proto and Pro 1
Sniper : Proto and Pro 1
AR: Op IV and Sharp III ScP: Op IV Mass: Op IV
RR: Op III ScR: Op III Swarm: Op III
Laser: Op I Cannon: Op I
All weapons I have Proto'd can be easily used on a scout. All of them. I don't regret those at all. The other Racial Rifles to III gives me some versatility if I need it (The range of the RR or the shield shredding power of the ScR). Mass I got to IV because Winmatar. ScP I got to IV because I was told the Assault ScP was amazing (and it is). Swarms were there for limited AV capabilities before the nerf bat.
Cannon is the best 12k SP I've ever spent. SOOOO much fun with the cannon.
Overall, I don't feel like its "Wasted". I have options. So I make a LOT of fits that utilize these options. Not much use in PC per se, but in pubs, the versatility is amazing.
I may borrow a page from this book, sir. I wish I had another rifle, the shotgun, knives and perhaps the flaylock all to prof II. And I'd probably still have SP left over if I hadn't spent it all getting every ScP skill to Level V. Damn that OCD!!
Getting skills to level three is VERY cheap. Normally only around a week of grind (214k SP)
I use these to test the weapons. Basic gives you the "Feel" of the weapon, but ADV shows the strengths. If you really enjoy using the ADV variant, get it to Pro (only a bit more SP after that). If you find it on all of your fits all of a sudden, get the extra skills.
You can also read my Guide to Minmatar weaponry on NN for more info on weapons!
Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face.

I've got prof 3 in SMG, ScR, ScP, RR, Shotgun, Nova Knife. Prof 5 in sniper rifles, lvl 5 ops in Flaylock, swarms. all with rapid reload 3 MD, Laser Rifle, and Plasma cannon and HMG at ops level 3. Swarms are so ******* useless. flaylock doesn't negatively affect dropship stability. I basically haven't used those since 1.5 other than when I've said "I haven't used the flaylock in a while," and put it on my suits. They feel wasted because they were nerfed into oblivion against vehicles
I'm probably going to regret spending SP on Gal-Logi, but I can't give up those 4 EQ slots for utility. I also hate how I'm skilling into Cal-Commando, but it is pretty much the only choice available for sniping and i do have prof 3 in RR. I'll still have a scout-sniper build for each scout I have.

If I'm making a fit and it has a profile signature of 35.69 dB, do I still avoid advanced scanners or does it round up to 36 and thus I get scanned by advanced scanners? Area of some debate still In my experience you need below 35.5 to not round up I mean this is using 2 enhanced dampeners even though I have level 5 dampening, and I can exchange one of them for a complex dampener and still be able to fit it. So literally this is a matter of saving 1k ISK per suit. I suppose I just shouldn't be so cheap
Honestly, I'm starting to think that it rounds up to the nearest 0.5

DAMN you should see my fittings. It is a giant jumble of basic suits and proto suits. I have to toss out all the non-PC fits when I join a PC because it bogs down your gameplay, so I'm glad I do that. I really wish I could have more than 30/40 fittings and they had folders to organize them by.

Lol, maybe not with that ammo... would need to totally max it out with ammo and reload. Looking forward to trying it out though because I've never even picked one up before.

I dont think the new plasma cannons will be released in 1.8. Possibly in the expansion!
But yeah, both the breach and assault plasma cannons make me very excited. Shall we soon see a Gallente MD?!?!!?

Plus it won't hurt to try it either.

Did exactly the same. Proto Knives are so much more fun. Having decent Shields is pretty dang cool.
Still on the fence about which Scout(s) to pick. Not enough SP to have them all. * Glares at Appia *
@ Spectral Clone
There is no right or wrong position along the "Speed vs HP" continuum. If there were an optimal position, it would change every time the Devs tweaked aiming / HD mechanics.
In the past a shooter need only try to aim to instagib an unarmored Scout, regardless of speed. Brick was a necessity.
Then the Devs dialed back aim-assist in 1.7, and speed became slightly more effective. Brick is presently an option.
With Fine Rifle TTK being addressed in 1.8, we may see more Scouts shedding pounds for speed. Brick may be balanced or eclipsed by Speed.
IMHO, Speed vs HP comes down to personal preference, playstyle and the task at hand. What works one build may not the next, so there can be no right or wrong. Unless said Scout is in a HAV, in which case he is being a f*cking sissy coward. |

With the mauler SP and the new event SP I am on target to remove myself from minmitar scout and move into Cal-Scout and Cal-sentinel. I got all my profile/damp/range skills up to V so I will be a giant beacon of knowledge in my scout suit.
Minmitar was great, but the knives just aren't as fun as they used to be in 1.3. Its a novelty and I feel the cal-scout will have a better time charge knifing. Mini scout w/cloak and three codebreakers is going to be a damn force to reckon with though. I might go to level III in minmitar scout as that works pretty well as an alternative with only a million SP investment.
Cal-sentinel because 1sec shield recharge. Stack it with rechargers/energizers and regulators in lows. Even a flux won't stop me! and you only have TWO!

Very Shrewd by CCP
TTK changes (weapon and damage mod nerfs)
Scout Buff (CPU/PG and extra equipment slot)
Assault Buff (reduction in CPU/PG to weapons)
Logi Buff (reduction in CPU/PG to equipment)
Dump SP on the market
Dropsuit fits will cost more (unless you religiously use BPOs or going to forego your new capabilities) so players will start to cut into their millions or adjust the way they play.
Still, no alternative content to spend ISK on.

Since when do Biotic Scouts lobby for nerfs against Brick Scouts? https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=149208&find=unread
Brick or Biotic, all Scouts might be OP next build. No one wants that. Especially us. We won't know whether or not (nor the extent thereof) until we've played the post-hotfix 1.8.
We Bastards should consider holding off on presenting nerf packages until we've had ample time to discuss the ups and downs of each. Lightning gets a pass because he's a god-d*mn Legend.
Nerf discussions will be held, both private and public. These discussions will not be civil. There will be broken furniture and stabbings. There will be name calling and feuds. There may even be a new Quil. |
