The Sad History of Bojo: Scout Extraordinaire

I just remembered I was a scout sniper at heart
but then the game changed and I changed direction
now my heart longs to be scout sniper but that is now so far away
I'm still a pilot but the game has changed the Dropship for the worse

I used to run nothing but militia gear back in Codex, I could barely figure out what suited me and I mostly ran the Arbiter fitting. Because Arbiters were already specced one level into snipers I furthered it to NT 511s, and back then Charge Sniper only required level 2 so I used that and the Tactical pretty often. But then when Chromosome hit, I fell in love with the Mass Driver. I then, after seeking help in what used to be just the Training Grounds, I specced into the Type II Assault Suit. I was shield heavy and faster than the Type I. I loved it. Then, when the final days of Pre-Tranquility were upon us, everyone said **** it, and tossed SP into what they pleased. I got Shotguns to 2, the scout suit, and the Nova Knives. I had so much fun with the breach shotgun.

*Insert stuff about Open Beta*

Now here I am, kind of wishing I was an Arbiter.

So I think you should run for CPM Shotty and represent Scouts/Stealth gameplay. You got my vote.

I will be running for CPM and shotty has told me in game (and im sure he'll agree here) that he'll back my candidacy.
CPM is a lot of work and Im willing to put the work in for my scout brothers, for proper balance.

Mine is 509 ehp, i tested a troll fit the other day like this

Shotgun specialist duvolle
1 enhance shield extender
4 complex plate
Allotek nonohive

You got 756 armor and have good rep with the proto rep hive, you have the speed of a cal logi with good stamina and been sneak has a scout + radar radius, you got more armor than the ehp of an proto caldari assault racial with 4 complex shield extender
You just dont feel like a scout so slow!! insanee in city and garbage outside i think Roner will be able to try this suit today he just needed 20k sp last night to get the complex plate

Honored, Lightning! But CPM isn't for me, Brother. I'm quite content to spend my free time blasting face and keeping our Community Statistics up-to-date.


I'm not sure exactly how CPM elections will work, so let me clarify my "official" position.

If we're permitted to vote for multiple persons and positions, then I'd be thrilled to support an up-and-coming and articulate member of the Scout Community like you (Mossellia).

If -- on the other hand -- we can only vote for one person, then Aeon Amadi will have my vote. I understand this contradicts our earlier discussion, but as I said I'm unfamiliar with how the elections will be structured.

Caught me!

... had you down for 763 kills (rather than 7632)
... noticed the oversight when your Delta Kills reflected -5000
... you caught me mid-fix; for the briefest of moments, you weren't on the list :-)

Hey Shotty, seeing as you know the maths behind the profile dampeners, can I ask you what the profile of a heavy with 4 complex dampeners on would be?

I have no intention of ever doing this, I'm just curious.

Heavies
27.97 dB - 4th Complex Dampener [07.07%] <--- Beats 28 dB Scanners

Can someone please do a stealth heavy with novaknife and shotgun montage and upload it to youtube? I'd pay at least 5 mil isk for that

Good question!

How a scout at lvl 5 in dampening + scout racial lvl 5 and 2 complex dampener sir?

^ Good idea ... thank you, sir.

^ Progressions expanded.

If i am correct, a scout lvl 5 with dampening lvl 5 + 1 basic dampener module beat the 28 db scanner,

i understand the philosophy of CCP to make the 15 db scanner unbeatable because is duration is only 5 sec and cost 18 pg! but to be fair without changing their scanner.

to me the equipment you set on the floor need to have the db of the character, what did you think?

@Bojo. You miss the Arbiter, we all do, but you don't want to be in that suit again. When someone takes 2 head-shots from a Kaalakiota Tactical Sniper Rifle and gets to cover before you get your third shot off it is very disheartening

Scout Lvl(5) + Dampening Lvl(3) + 1 Bsc Dampener will beat 28 dB scanner


The Meta 9 (15 dB) Scanner has substantial performance drawbacks.
It will only be used if/when a sneaky Scout angers a Proto Logi.


No opinion :P
Looking forward to getting points for smashing them.

3- well its a proposition since we try to find a role for the scout, i feel its the way to go, a scout with a basic dampening module can have undetectable uplink, ammo, RE even to a 28 db scan! And more difficult to see by opponent
