You really aren't exaggerating. Gallente should be able to overcome caldari on a 1 to 1 module usage, but either Scan Precision needs to be equal to Scan Profile or Precision enhancers need to be equal to Profile dampeners. The cloak's invisibility is actually a lot better than I expected, I think you shimmer too much when crouch walking or walking slowly, but that non-stacking profile reduction is just too much for actual game play.

Agreed, I honestly don't think their needs to be a profile reduction when cloaked. It ruins the stealth play of the scout. You can stay cloaked incredibly long. Agree on the shimmer vs. movement. Its usually full shimmer or no shimmer.
1 bullet/100hp change in TTK is not enough IMO to cause an impact in optimal weapon ranges. Outside those ranges it is obvious. Getting melted by the laser rifle though, again with instant death with a single swipe.

Hey brother, I'm around. 
You all have lots of new likes as I catch up on the action from the past few days. Work is just too crazy right now... days off are like the flaylock users: few and far between.
I've only gotten one 1.8 match and decided to run militia for a week or two to get my footing solid. Started off with the Amarr light militia "deformed fetus" suit. High is militia precision, lows are militia armor rep, range and cardiac (DAT STAMINA IS DOPE!). One militia pistol (still works okay) and beloved Toxin SMG. Going for a hard-mode build for now and I am disappointed with the new ScP, although it did get an accuracy buff at higher levels, I believe. And I seem to have 13 shots in the clip instead of 11... did CCP change something?
First game didn't see any cloaked scouts... . man, it's gonna take a while to get used to this new build. Lots of heavies though, and regular scouts.
Double posting like a Kaiser.

I was watching and having never shotgun scouted before just kept wondering why you kept switching to the SMG when surely a shotgun blast would have done the job much quicker and easier, instead of taking a few seconds with the SMG and giving them time to turn and blap you down!
I didn't say anything because I figured it's just me misunderstanding how applicable the shotgun would have actually been in those situations.
Well often times I feel the shotgun just doesn't perform well after that first shot. Targets usually die instantly or they start hopping around like a bunny/backpedal. SMG, especially with its armor bonus and longer range make it an excellent addition to the shotgun. Its somewhat heat of the moment decision. When shooting that heavy in the stairwell I should have switched to SMG sooner, but he was well within optimal range of the shotgun, so I kept going until he got into armor.
90% of the time, once I get past shields I switch to SMG

Too early to say.
Yesterday was fun even though I had to relearn how to play. (Why is that it so easy to pick up any other FPS and start playing but Dust feels incredibly awkward when first starting/returning from a break?)
We'll see how things are once the newness of the new scouts, cloaks, and heavies wears off. So far I'm loving my Cal Scout and new caldari weaponry.
The new heavies are ugly though.  |

The minjas seem to be having trouble.
And while it is hard to say for sure, if things keep up like they have been, scouts will be FOTM.
I can't speak for the others, but that doesn't sit well with me.
I do think it is an improvement, and that maybe buffs to assault suits might be a better remedy than making adjustments to scouts.
I am just still trying to get a grip on things.
Looking for the scout hangout?

A few things that are causing a couple wrinkles.
1) profile reduction bonus with cloak (too much/makes imbalance between scanning and profile more obvious)
2) shimmer on cloak at walking speed might be a titch too high? (I'm not sure about the consensus on this one?)
3) shotgun RoF is balls. Trading this for the proficiency against damage type was unwanted. Especially with the new heavies. Jolly might have stronger words for this
4) Dear God The Heavies (but they might be balanced, more time needed here)
5) Logis get fitting reduction to cloaks (Complete BS, obviously not working as intended)
Good things.
1) cloak isn't too invisible to the eye, decent balance in terms of that
2) TTK helps a little. Hard to tell the difference in scout suits
3) Rifle nerf was a good step, CR might need a bit more adjusting? no consensus yet
4) TWO EQUIPMENT SLOTS!!!!

Jolly is not a happy shotgunner.
can confirm this and i will say half my deaths are thanks to the rof fecking me over.
Also one just one MAJOR GRIPE I have is when I swap weapons to finish with a smg is it won't let me fire and will swap back to the shotgun and won't fire for a second.....++ù%+++ù-úGé¼$&Gÿå}{`~pÇè-í

For the most part yes. Some bugs and technical issues. Shotgun hit detection seems to be off... again. Getting hits that don't register. I think the Cloak is nice overall, but only the ADV version. Not a fan of the Standard as cloak doesn't last long enough and Proto the fitting requirements are too high to justify using it. It is a nice compliment to my sneaky tactics and lets me easily position myself behind people for headshots to the back of the dome at close range with my CRG.
One thing I don't like is the Heavies. Oh gawd lord almighty! I feel like a stick of butter in the microwave when I come across these guys and their HMG of DOOM... |

Enjying it until the ooo's and aww's of thenew stuff wears off and it reverts back to tank-spam with ADS dominance.
RoF nerf to Shotgun is ludicrous. All the OG shotgunners are being ****** over so hard because we've had it at a faster speed for so long. While the new kids come in, never having it higher because they don't have points in proficiency and are amazed they can kill us.
Shotgun STILL doesn't have enough damage between tiers to make it useful and without Proficiency giving it a bonus to RoF, it is pointless to get Shotgun Operation skill past lvl 3
RoF nerf to the Scrambler Pistol was dreadfully awful. Now all the pistols are garbage... equally. so I suppose that's balanced when everything is terrible?
Mag Sec is so OP.
Bolt Pistol is worse than Breach Scrambler Pisol. Charge-up full auto is very awkward, and Ion Pistol needs to have the overheat removed.
Cloak dampening bonus is the problem with it. Needs to be removed.
Combat Rifle is leagues ahead of the other weapons on actual/realized DPS, compared to theoretical/ mathematically-optimal damage. Honestly 10% average bonus was not enough to affect TTK. The damage mod decrease helped a little, but only slowed down the pub-stompers.
The damage reduction has basically added 1 extra bullet per 100HP your suit has. And FFS, total damage per clip is not a good way to balance damage per bullet.
The rest of the problems are bugs that will hopefully be hot fixed. Other than the incredibly terrible problems listed above, yeah, I'm having fun... but that is because a lot of people that haven't played since the Corp Tournament are online again.

That's a good option. If nothing else, you will be able to make some versatile fits that you can use as circumstances between and within games change.

I was only able to get cloak lv 1 since there were some other skills to max out. I'll get the full spectrum of 1.8 at any rate

Good, in theory.
A chunk of reality:
Most people use ADV suits. and the ADV slots on all scouts, are ALMOST IDENTICAL.
So I would imagine there isnt much any difference, from that perspective :-D
Lower levels, though, you get stuck with the whole 3H/1L, vs opposite, so that would make a huge difference I imagine.
Higher levels, its one of
4/2
3/3
2/4
2/4
So, back to "not much difference", unless you're comparing caldari to non-minmatar.

You're right, but I'm considering passive bonuses that'll make a greater effect at a higher tier. I want to establish a baseline since each have their own speed, stamina, and ehp. I'm trying them out without Aurum.
Could be worse, really. I could have protoed all the new sidearms
