When you mean scanners specialized for scanning certain roles do you mean like scanners that can only scan scouts, or only medium frames?
Like Scanners that only have a range of 30 dB to 15 dB? Or 60 dB to 45 dB?
THAT would be interesting.
Nothing as clever as that. I just thought that no one should be trying to scan scouts with active scanners other than focused. Therefore remove the Gal logi precision bonus and mediums can reliably dampen below active scanners if they desire. |

What did you conclude, 5 points per match? something like that.
1AUR spent = 0.5 loyalty rank points

also there is a new newsletter gift available: 36 very-rare weapons
Whatever that means. No gaming for me today, have a guest over who's sleeping/occupying the room with the PS3 that I use.

Yes, about 5-6 per Ambush and a little more per dom/skirmish. Literally 1000s of matches to advance from 9-10. While purchasi. $50 AUR shot me from rank 8 (80%) to rank 9 (20%). |

I'm rank 7 and spent $150USD on this game for my main ($50 on my alt)... seems reasonable to me.
I know the argument can be made for them assisting with getting more people into the community etc and over all being a benefit, but at the end of the day bills have gotta get paid.
One of the things I've pointed out to many players is Dust has one of the least Pay2Win freemium models out there. It's actually really good in that regard.
I had a random PUG in a destiny raid squad complain that Dust was P2W and I very much corrected him on that ha.

Dear Cat Merc
If you're reading this, firstly I'd like to say that it was fun squadding with you, had a blast.
Second: About your comment that "everybody" here said that they never run knives without a cloak, that is simply untrue.
You got precisely one response to that effect, others were rather different. Please don't go spreading misinformation.
This was a public service announcement.

Have you tried knifing on a suit other than Min?
If you have and still think so then fair enough, if not slap it on a gal or cal and give it a try, but I'm really surprised how effective they are without the bonus. Though maybe it's because I tend to use the proto. Though a while back I ran ZNs and enjoyed it.

You do realise most of us here don't like the tanked out slayer scout any more than you do.
I've spent today running around in a 120k isk proto suit with a grand total of 250hp. I can get OHK'd by body shot from a new player fresh out of academy in a starter sniper suit. If you're struggling to handle that then that's your problem.
Why do I bother... *opens window and turns on fan*

Scouts are not OP, far from it. This gross hyperbolization of our effectiveness over other classes and our numbets by non-scouts and Scouts alike need to stop. There are almost no games where Scouts are the majority in a match. There are no games where the top of the leaderboard consists mostly of scouts (unless it's a squad of our best). And the only reason Rattati and CPM frequently visit here is because this is the only real organized class-based thread/community that has remained consistently so. Ratta and CPM can easily consult us on Scoutly matters as a result, and are free to ignore certain suggestions as they see fit. Keep in mind the minute Assaults, Sentinels, etc, get off their butts and come together in an actual organized manner the more time Ratta and CPM will spend discussing Assault, Logi, etc. changes with them.
Keep in mind that Scouts as a community are actually the most conflicted on these matters. We may be united but our opinions on Scouts, cloaking, shotguns, etc. effectiveness and how to fix perceived over and under effiveness conflict so much it's not uncommon for us to get into pretty heated arguments. We're also so conflicted on what makes a "good scout" especially now that the class isn't as near-terribad as it was back in the day. As a whole we're the most democratic portion of the community, because, GASP, we discuss everything! Even our grievances with certain fits in the class being too effective or not effective enough.
Of course...not like you care you're just a trolling scrub. |

Curious,
Are you intending to imply that Devs don't have critical thinking skills, or is that unintentional?

Have decided I'm not running uplinks anymore. RE's are damn effective and I need them for heavy spam.
In a match there were plenty of uplinks so decided to switch to RE's which I haven't run since 1.7.
Immediately got 3 kills off a single F45. Well, I'm in love again.
Finally got scrambler pistols to proto. May start running that with my knives instead of an ARR.
Also sent 500k isk to a fellow scout as an apology for not upholding their NK duel attempt. The Gal research facility was a slideshow and I reacted too quickly being as I was so on edge.

I haven't, but I don't think I need to. I don't doubt that knives are effective on other scouts, maybe even more effective considering the eWar and tank that the other scouts bring to the table, but I don't care. I want to go fast and 1 shot 95% of the suits in the game and be a minmatar loyalist, damnit!
Besides, if the knife bonus is inconsequential then why remove it?
