Its OK as is.

Something tells you, Gav? Something tells me you are weighing in on the spreadsheet without looking at the spreadsheet. Current Numbers: 23 dB - MinScout + 1 Damp + Adv Cloak Proposed Numbers: 23 dB - MinScout + 1 Damp ADv cloak should put you at 22.... 31.5*.75*.95=22.4, which rounds to 22.
You're right! Ran it at 24 ... got 22.8.
Good eye. You've found our first casualty :-)

That's the point of these talks, Gav. The Shotgun by itself is a pretty crap, but add a low-profile scout to the equation and its suddenly good. We're looking at tweaking the second part of that equation.

Because if it isn't crap for everyone, it's just not fair.

We're looking at tweaking the second part of that equation. I have shotgunned almost exclusively following my frustration and refusal to knife any more (around 1.3?), following going 2/25 against a full Q-Sync of slayer Logi's. I have always speed tanked my scout suit, and used it.
I have endured the days where a militia assault rifle was better than nova knives or a SG at 5 meters.
I have killed my fair share of "good" shotgunners with my own shotgun, and countless medium frames besides.
The first time I used a drop suit that was neither a minmitar scout or a militia drop suit was a month ago when I skilled into minmitar heavies.
I have been using my shotgun for more than a year, iirc. I have used it on a minmitar scout exclusively. I have played around 100 PC's in my career on this character, and have used a SG in probably 85-90 of them.
These^^are my credentials, as little as they matter.
From my experience, though many of you probably think that it may be little, I have come to understand that there are really just three factors that will allow you to win in a 1v1 or 1v2 scenario.
HP, positioning, and speed.
HP is HP, driver from plates and extenders. Very simple. If you don't have enough HP, you'll be killed as you flank, or when your enemy turns around.
Positioning is even more important, and can be gained from eWAR modules, with dampening to allow yourself to make a play, or precision to see when a good to move in for the kill is.
Speed is what allows you to firstly get into your positioning, eWAR aside, and secondly is necessary for the mad scramble in CQC. Even more underrated, however, is the ability to use speed to turn 2 or 3v1's into 2 or 3 1v1's.
You can't be an effective shotgunner unless you have a part of each of the three in moderation.
The current system forces you to do that.

ROF nerf really screwed the shotty the most.
There has been a huge hub bub between some dusters and CCP about releasing numbers like they do with eve.That aside.. even as a knifer I find it a challenge, but do enjoy specifically killing shotgun scouts with knives (probably the only scouts I can kill!).
Outside of killing a proto heavy, the next best trophy is a shotgun scout for a knifer. Cause when that happens it's straight up needless to say ownage.
I think heavy QQ should just be patted upon the head and leave it at that.

We can look at copying the Dragonfly look and colors to the other racial Dropsuits.

Not the same as "transmuting" one of my multiple C-I Assault suits into a G-I Assault suit.
And I still say a 'Templar' Commando A-I and 'Templar' Scout A-I are needed and should be given freely to the people that used EVE 10 year anniversary codes -Templar Manhunt lottery winners don't need them.
And the Dragonfly Assault "skin" isn't really all that asthetically pleasing. It's more because I like the idea of "sets" of BPOs existing with a name per race. Individually purchased but instead of a whole Role having Quafe, a whole Race having the same design.

I am also going to take back what I said earlier. I would totally buy a 'Quafe' G-I Assault if it was Chromosome's Pink Quafe color instead of the current purple.
It just wouldn't be on my main as I found one of my alts with some AUR

We will try to more of that, f.ex. the Primordial/etc sets, we are planning to fix and update them. Possibly same with Valor/Raven/Sever

Haven't played for a couple of months but last time I was on I stabbed a shotgun Amarr scout so many times he stopped trying to hunt me down on my objective. Actually got a few stabs on Amarr back then.
Also got a fair few on tanked Gal shotgunners too.
Haven't been around much. But good to see we're still circling the same topics. EWAR over hauls, OP sentinels and "fine shotguns".
We'll bang, OK?

I wish I had the drive to do that. Haven't played in a hardcore way like that since. . . July 2013 . . . right around the time I posted "hey guys I have proto shotgun again!" in this thread.
