This is going to be a problem.
The active scanner was horribly glitchy like that even during its prime. It's really not worth bothering with atm.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

My point is, I can scan nearly 300 degrees and paint targets for a second or two. It isn't full-length scan, but its long enough to pickup anyone who might be sneaking about. I took Logibro's "snapshot" fix to mean whatever I was facing at start-of-scan is what I'd scan.
This matters alot in terms of what to expect come Hotfix Alpha.

I decided to go and give the basic assaults a go with some LP I had saved up.
All of them, racially.
Amarr assault is fun with the AScR.
But the Gal Assault with Reps is by far my favorite. Tempted to skill into it on the side.
I was surprised about how long you could fight in it. In between fights, I repped at almost 10HP a second, so my 400 armor was almost always full. Shields restored themselves fairly quick, and acted as a buffer to keep my armor from taking damage in between fights.
And that AR is just sick with a damage mod.

The CPM1 Race is underway!
There's a good chance that candidates might drop by for visit. Let's give 'em hell. But not too much hell. We don't want the ones who win to hate us.
On the topic, I'd like to say that I withdraw all accusations of foul-play against Zatara Rought. This change in disposition comes on advice of trusted Brother; details can be found downstairs.
Apologies, Zatara. I overreacted. Best of luck in your campaign. o7

Thank you Shotty <3
I need all the support I can get to be competitive in this race, and I hope I haven't alienated any of you inadvertently.
I can promise you I know the primary means of making sure scouts continue within their role is to buff the amarr and minmatar, leave the nerf hammer alone now that the cloak is being revised, and buff assaults so that FOTM scouts will recognize Assaults as a viable playstyle again.
I encourage all of you to stop in and take a moment to browse my thread and feel free to like/endorse me and ultimately honor me with your votes when the elections arrive.

Also, I haven't been able to squad with many of you yet and I'd like to rectify this.
I'll be playing quite a bit this week with the 3x event [YAY!] and I hope I can squad up with the brave souls who have been participating in the scout game long before I ever considered investing in my 2 proto suits.

Good stuff, Zatara.
Don't thank me; thank Arkena.
Head's up in case you haven't seen this yet. Not trying to throw you under the bus with all those quotes; your words influenced my thinking (as well as Rattati's) so I remembered them.

No doubt it needs to be a priority to be fixed. I haven't used scanners much since I got my cal and gal scout, so i'll play with them tonight. Obviously if this is remotely a problem it needs to be fixed.
Although really? 3 posts of my quotes? SMH, just combine them into 1 broseph.

I'm not going to stop playing. Just have given up. Plus I started playing don't starve....it's good and bad, painful.
I'm just startin to wonder again what's the purpose of the feedback anyway. None of it will translate to legion, which I'm excited about....and dreading.
I just need a serious break from life. Even three day weekends haven't felt like much of a "break". Started watching the black list.....which is really addicting, just lots of other stuff that's taken priority to dust is all. Summer time means lots of grilling, hanging outside and drinking too much beer.
I'll be getting on occasionally. Shotty can poke me and I'll try and bop on,

I'm shocked I haven't posted this here already. The CPM announcement reminded me.
It's a Dust 514/Legion podcast they've been doing for a month now, run by a couple of Corp mates. They've been doing shows with several CPM candidates. And will be doing more in the future.
Also for CPM I am endorsing my friends Pokey Dravon and Cross Atu.
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=149612&find=unread https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=162869&find=unread
I know them well, Pokey has done a lot of work on putting out ideas to better the game for new and old alike. And his suggesstions have generally been recieved positively by the community.
Fundamentally though, the reason I really push for these guys, was demonstrated when they came and asked me what fixes we (scouts) wanted to see for scouts, what was imortant for us. They asked questions, proposed ideas, if I disagreed they took my feedback and used it positively. They came to me because for all their ludicus SP (closed-beta vets) the one role they didn't have a lot of experience in was scouting. Rather than assuming they knew what they were talking about and spouting off BS they actually took the time to get properly informed on the issues at play as best they could from a non-BS source they trusted.
And thats what I want in a CPM.
I think we get like 7 votes or something and while you might have your own perfect candidate, I think these two should be on your list.

Just want to clarify since it's something I have experience with. (If they're doing it right) The voting is a Single Transferable Vote. Meaning we have a single vote each. What happens is: You list the candidates in order of preference, 1 being the highest, 10 being the lowest (If there's only 10 candidates, let's say there is) If for any reason your 1st candidate is taken out of the election (so if they meet the quota required or if they are eliminated after a round of counting) then your vote is transferred to your second preference. This continues until the desired number of representatives are elected.
Edit: I believe it's only surplus votes that are transferred in the case of a candidate being elected.
The list part can vary, sometimes it asks you to list all candidates in order of preference, others it's just 1-10 regardless of the amount.

o7 all,
I'd like to start out by thanking Adipem Nothi for the invite and link, as well as Bayeth Mal for the endorsement and telling me when I don't have my head screwed on straight.
Rather than get too political at all of you (my thread's in my sig if you're interested in my 'pitch') I'll keep this short.
I've been playing since closed beta, during that time I've right many alts and builds trying to get a hands on feel for as much of the game as possible but I hold no illusions that I'm an "expert" at the whole game. That's why being invited to places such as this is such a boon, it's a direct link to the community and without that I don't believe anyone can be a truly effective CPM because in my view gathering the community voice and taking it to CCP is that heart of what an effective CPM does.
Feel free to post whatever questions you like, I'm happy to throw around ideas and willing to admit when I simply don't know something.
Cheers, Cross
PS ~ I'm currently saving SP to proto a scout for the first time in several builds, any chance I could get some advice on that before choosing which race to go with first?

Minmatar: best scout.
. . . until cloak field nerf. Then Cal/Gal only. wait till the second balance pass on scouts before you skill into them.

I really appreciate that Bay, means a lot to me.
Bay has been a fantastic resource to work with and we've had many enjoyable theory crafting sessions, both on scouts and numerous other topics. I think in one instance we sat and talked for hours about how a new heavy weapon would work and what it would mean for light frames fighting it.
It's that kind of interaction with other players that I love, just a raw throwdown of ideas and concepts and how it would affect the gameplay. I dabble in Scouts quite a bit and while I know enough to be informed, I look to guys like you who do it all the time to really help hammer out the little details.
I want to maintain these lines of communication and put that information to good use, so be sure to vote for me in the upcoming CPM election!
Like my ideas?

Well I already run with a shotty in pubs in my dragonfly, so I'm looking at PC for my proto which (usually) means putting pressure on a single objective solo. Stealth, speed, hacking, alpha strike/assassin; will all be valuable traits, but I expect to face trade-offs in those assets. So I guess my question becomes "if you were going to run solo in a PC trying to hold down an objective as much as possible, which race/fit would you run?" (bearing in mind that I don't have the gun game of someone like Appia or ShottyGoBang )

(bearing in mind that I don't have the gun game of someone like Appia or ShottyGoBang )
Shield suits favor people with high level of gun game. armor suits favor the bruiser style of play. I would actually suggest the Amarr Scout for shotgun play if you plan on trying to dig-in to a city. Shields are for more hit-and-run tactics with a team to distract the guys and make them switch targets so the damage gets distributed between multiple peopl while the hit-and-run guys focus on a single target
RIght now, the gal-scout is a good city suit, but come hotfix alpha you're better off with a Gal-Logi again because the cost of stealth is too high to employ the same level of tactics. Put a Cardiac Regulator down low, a complex repper, some low-movement cost plates, a damage mod, and 2 shields. Rep hives and REs. You;ll do better in that than in a Scout.
Like I said, wait for the Hotfix Beta or Hotfix Alpha V2 or whatever it's called because it's just not worth it to skill into the suit unless you have the same dedication to the role as this thread's regular posters do.

1) A dampened GalScout makes for the best solo point defender. If you're defending in pairs or with vehicle support, a high-precision / high-range CalScout works very well.
2) Shotty GoBang does not have gun game; Appia's pretty good though (when she's paying attention).

Roger that. Would you mind linking to Q/As once available?
I still like the idea of setting bait for a debate. Let's come up with a scout-related or hot-button topic ...
* What went wrong with Scouts in 1.8? In Remnant's shoes, what would you have done differently? * What are your thoughts on Rattati's approach to Scout balance in Hotfix Alpha?
... anyone else have ideas?
