Will now attempt to Suicide Gank Ghost

What race?

Edit: Now that I think of it, it's probably Minmatar.
Minmatar heavy is best heavy.

Yup. ADV Min heavy with Thundergroove giving me Amarr Scout scans.

Bad Heavies were bad. I solo'd a Proto Amarr Heavy two or three times. Can't beat my strafe game.

I think I went 33-1 that game. I love my Winmatar. Can't wait to get that sucker to proto.

By the way One Eye, I also have Proto Min Scout, Assault, and Commando. There is only 1 scout I want to play, and that is my Minja. I had to spend SP elsewhere

I assume you filled the lows with KinCats?

It really is the best option

I enjoy my Gal Sentinel. 2 complex reps, 1 enh plate. Shield extenders in the highs. Plus burst HMG and just strafe like a mo fo.

Very good for heavy on heavy battles. It's like the heavy shotgun I always wanted.
Back in the day I ran forge in CQC for anti heavy. Heavys did (and still do) plant their feet and fire trying to make it a game of "who has the bigger numbers".

"Yeah, you might do 1,100 DPS but I do 1,600 instantly... and you're a nice stationary target..."

It's pretty funny running a sentinel in an unpredictable way, a while back with the OP burst I wiped 2 sentinels and then the logi following them in like 7 seconds, they must have been so pissed, wondering how I did that...
"Well fellas, between bursts I was letting my armor rep back and only engaging you one on one. I pop out, do a 900 damage burst and pop back having received maybe 400 damage, and since you run blindly towards me rather than taking cover your logi can't rep you in time..."

Side note:
Did they go through with that change to kinetic damage profile?

My Fit for the Proto Min Sentinel:

2x Complex Shield
1x Complex Light Damage Mod

Boundless HMG
Core Flaylock
C-7 Flux

1x Complex Speed
1x Complex Shield Regulator

Light damage mod >_> <_< >_>

So I... skilled into the GAL scout again, brought it to lvl 5 and it's a lot easier to run than my Min scout, I almost feel ashamed using it.

Yeah not overly fond of stealth being a racial bonus.
If you're having to lose half of your slots just to function in a given role then that's not good at all. How did I come away from the 1.8 buff with less available slots than I did before?

My suggesstion: Take away bonus to knives, give it the same dampening as Gal and Cal, keep hacking bonus, give knives a little buff.

We've been over this one a few hundred times, you take away the NK bonus on the Min Scout or make it equally viable/deadly for the others and no one uses the min scout to knife anymore.
Obvious hyperbole, but just do a search on musturd's last 10 posts here.

Favorite Sniper Fit:

DS: Scout ck.0
PW: Kal Tac or Charge (depends on map)
SW: Pro Knives
EQ: Pro Cloak, Std Hive
LS: Range, KinCat
HS: Dmg Amp (x2), Precision (x2)
GR: Flux

Ambush. Hit the hills at start. Shoot and move. Eventually, someone comes looking. Usually pick 'em up before they spot me, thanks to Cal bonus and range extender. Time to cloak up for some sneak and peak. If he turns out to be a slow mover, I try my damnedest to shank him as he looks around for me. If fast mover (or constantly checking six), I try to escape/evade/relocate.

Lots of fun to stab a guy who thinks he's going to get an easy kill ... and the hatemail is delicious :-)

When out of ammo, I relocate, drop a hive, fill up then toss the fluxes 'til they pop my hive. Nothing screams "look around here for a sniper" like big, glowing deployables.

Not going to get tons of WP, but always tons of fun.

Edit: If OHK'd by counter sniper, I downgrade SR to Adv Tac (to save $) then get to hunting, which usually involves attempting to cross the map undetected and occasionally involves shanking the shooter :-). Sniper v Sniper is quite fun as a 250hp Scout ... just don't get hit!

Was in that match with him against you. I was chasing him in my all EWAR scout and a repair tool.

Poor red dots

On EWAR change, I think they should distinguish active scanners as designed to scan mediums and passive scanners as being how to scan scouts (with the exception of focused scanners).

To achieve this the Gal logi bonus should be changed from precision to cooldown. There should also be an advanced focused scanner.

You can keep the majority of Rattati's proposals like 15m passive range.

I don't agree with removing the direction arrow, maybe just for active scanners.

I could even agree with giving profile penalties to all hp mods, as long as it was still viable to use a little hp, and you take into account more scouts will be stacking precision.

The fundamental idea I have, is the active scans are long range, designed for medium or heavy suits that engage at range.

Passive scans are for CQC, designed for scouts and logis (consider reducing logi precision). The balance here should be kept similar to how it is now. Maybe easier for scouts to hide considering the hp mod nerf.

With the Gal logi precision bonus it's just too hard for mediums to damp below scans in a competitive environment.

Also, hp mods being fixed value bonuses, combined with scout low hitbox, speed and regen, naturally encourages scout tanking, which messes up the class. I completely agree with the scout ck.0 argument recently. That thing, with 4 shield extenders, is a better assault than an actual assault suit. It's a close run thing, and a better assault bonus may improve things. But that doesn't change the fact that scouts are inherently encouraged to stack hp. Just because it's shield doesn't make it ok.

I am moderately disgusted by the loyalty rank system.

Grand Master Kubo, the fellow who won three officer events, has 130k kills to his name and 14 mil WP. He is rank 6.

I have a third of his kills, but I outrank him, because he has never bought AUR.

Does purchasing AUR really make that much of a difference in terms of rank?

Have a look and see how HP is King. How would nerfing EWAR modules possibly shake up the current meta? I'd expect it to accomplish the opposite.
