I am.
Dat scouse hurts your eyeballs.
Also thankgod for rhino prime Iron skin so I could write this.

GIVE HIM A COOKIE NOW.

Also--The problem with the cloak is that it doesn't fool anyone who is even halfway decent, it only really works on not-so-good players with the exception of super bright maps where you actually are invisible

I literally have no problem with the cloak--its a crutch against bad players, and thats it

The only good thing about it is the red chevron removal, other than that, its about useless in a competitive situation

I killed two cloaks with a MLT Laser Rifle today at around 30m.

It was glorious.

The fact that at 80 meters i can see the shimmer is ridiculous....

so I have officially protoed all 4 scouts now

sadly you dont unlock a super duper scout for doing it


now I can no back to not playing this game

Totally off topic, but I could have swore I heard Shotty's voice on the morning radio show I was listening to this am. It was weird.

Really tempted to make a vehicle alt

Missile tanks are dang fun lol

I seem to have forgotten my keys...

My two pence on the shotgun thing.
the shotgun is a piece of ****.
its like 1.3- 1.4 pre hot fix in its hit detection with shots missing on target and shots that should never have landed counting as head shots. The fickle nature of it makes shotgun rain largely underwhelming and targets only half with in the reticule are even more fickle. I have had shots landin left or right of my reticule, even more so in fast paced raptor jumping. More frustrating are theshots clearly landing but having no, zero, nada, bumfucknopebrah effect on the bastard in front of me

the.... bonus... just wow.
now dont get your knickers in a twist. More damage? Yaaay! I like more damage. Damage is good, damage means when my shots land I beat your ass like your grandfarther did.
But wheres my rof bonus?
woooo more shield damage is great but I didn't spend all that sp for prof 5 for more shield damage. I spent that for higher dps and higher rate of fire. I spent that 3+ million sp on my shotgun for that bonus not this. Bitter vet mode right there but ehhhh.

Now.... the big elephant in the room. The mother ******* cloak.
Il get this out of the way. I despise the cloak so this bit you can ignore. Go outside, make a coffee or beat one off. Okay my rant mode engages.... NOWS.

Its a broken, stupid, needless, pointless piece of equipment. its made scoutin not a niche role but easy mode at the highest level. We are no longer the face or soul of hard mode. We were what nyain san abused to the tenth degree. we are what became the common suit of choice. In pc and pubs. Invisibility in general unless built into the game from the start and has very clear counters and not just stuck on half way through is just a bad idea. More so without abilities to terminate the invisibility not just paint a little red shape on the tacnet.

Anyways oh hi welcome back back to the shotty.
The cloak is glossin over alot of problems with the shotgun with quite a few putting it down for a rifle or nks. My self included and with out the cloak I believe a large amount of us would be angry at how our trusted baby is performing.
So before any changes to bonus's can be made or discussed we should have it performing at 1.5 levels and see how well it performs.

I had a lot of fun yesterday. I started the day with 154k SP left to earn. So I capped out.
I haven;t earned that much SP in a single day in ages.

I started out by playing some FW this morning. Bought some ADV Assault suits. I've been debating with myself, do I want to get Amarr Scout V? I really don't. It's good enough at 4. Do I want to increase my SP investment in Weapons? No, cost/effectiveness is where it should be. My main really needs an Assault suit.

I had to stick true to my style. Got Gallente Assault up to 3. Bought 50x Fed Assault gk.0's. Gallente fangirl, OP armor tanking, innate repair, couldn't resist.

That's the suit a PRO Cal Scout with a PRO Shotgun got the drop on me, shooting me in the back. I quickly turned around, just in time to see the second shot hit me, then I opened fire on them and killed them. 254 shields 756 armor. 1060 eHP vs

Ok, so played some PC matches for my corp. Ugh. Cargo Hub, lost all three matches. Only one in my corp to go positive in all three matches. Got to roflstomp DJINN Rampage. A preternatural ability to find him and kill him.

Lol, so after battle I squad'ed up with him and the guys I just fought. They pulled me into a PC, got to try it out. Ended in the 3rd position on the killboard. Forgot how much fun a PC battle could be when you have people that actually know what they're doing.

Then I swapped out the rifle on the Gal-Ass for a shotgun. Lol, the stealth-shotgun doesn't work anymore. It's like what happened with the Cal-Scout every time. 2 shots, then dead. On the other hand. Being a big, obvious, glowing target for a Scout shotgunner, then because i'm not an idiot I know when they're sneaking up on me, I blast them in the face.

I haven't logged into my vehicle alt since FF and I have two other alts I made before then that I've never checked up on... What to do... What to do...

I've been debating with myself, do I want to get Amarr Scout V? I really don't. It's good enough at 4.

Currently contemplating whether I should get Amar or minmatar assault. I already have proto scrambler and combat rifles. Btw what corp are you in?
