That was it for me. Scored around 150 Mil in the refund. I'm down to 80 mil because I keep investing in friends who never continue playing the game, and also partly due to some splurging (There's something very satisfying about going 20-10 with a 140k ISK knifing fit... is it the smell of burning money?)

That just brings to mind the animated characters that ride around on trains with a handkerchief full of things on the end of a stick. Putting a monocle on the Minmatar would make that person the fanciest one of all.

Speaking of the 'good old days' Chrome was actually pretty good for scouts. I mained them then before Uprising hit and I switched to Gal meds.
There was something quite wonderful about OHKOing people at like 15m with a breach shotgun, and killing them with the B-series elbows of steel.
What with the aiming back then, a frequent tactic I used to kill people was to strafe around them until their clip ran out then close and remove their spleen. People ***** about shotguns now, but the Chrome era shotgun scouts were gods. There was previously a time when kincats were vastly better than they are now and would increases strafe speed and rate of fire when fitted.
Knifers used to be genuinely hardcore instead of the casuals we have today.You used to have to charge to get your 100 damage swipes, and the hit detection on them was truly dire.
Good times, good times.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Am I reading correctly that Assault is prefit with Damps and Logi with Precision Enhancers? That answers our EWAR shakeup questions :-)
I like them, a little spice from the Pearl of the East, while still fitting the Faction animal (Caldari - Air, Minmatar - land mammal, etc)

If you're half as smart as I think you are, this whole thing is not only the first step towards tiericide (whoohoo!) but also this fitting doctorine is also a way of collecting balancing information. Now you can gather information not only on what specific items are over and under performing but also how entire fitting styles are working.
Pretty sneaky.
Now as for the fittings. (The two I run as a gal suit loyalist and long time distruster of mediums)
Atlas could be good for a laugh, Gal is the close range race right? So we're supposed to use the forge like a charged heavy shotgun? That could be fun. Kinda shows how we need >2 heavy heapons.
Serpent, I know damps is a theme but does it really need 3? Swap one for a reactive I think (depending on dampening math). Maybe swap one extender for precision. I may dual tank my Ganja but I at least have the decency to make sure Armour is the higher of the two numbers.
We'll bang, OK?

I have concerns over anything that can't be customized, or the only one way to run a suit method that seems to permeate these discussions. I did see somewhere an idea about using meta level limits on LP BPO suits, i thought that was a great idea.

@ Ghost Kaiser
I like how you're thinking but we must maintain the Scout's capacity for backstabs and shenanigans. Fun demands it, and game with Dust's depth deserves it. And if not us the stealthy killer, then who? A dampened Assault with 2x to 3x our HP? |

I'm guessing you read my huge freaking post in the eWAR discussion?
As I said, it's not perfect. I typed it up in like 30 minutes after having those thoughts.
I tried to make sure that scouts had a combat role, and that is was mostly in taking advantage of better dampening or precision (Either offensively or defensively). I'm not sure about how the numbers would work but I share the same sentiment.
When it comes to backstabbing and shenanigans, scouts should still be the go-to choice across the board. That doesn't mean assaults can't do, they just can't do it BETTER (i.e. they would easily be detected by a well fit scout, and the assault would still be in the dark).
Think of it like this:
Damped Med Frames hunt undamped med frames.
Precision Med Frames hunt damped med frames
Precision and Damped Med frames hunt undamped scouts
Precision scouts hunt damped med frames
so on and so forth. Get the picture?
This being said, we need to make it so that you can't stack eWAR and survive ability. Right now, it's the scouts eWAR on TOP of their ability to have large amounts of health that make them so powerful. If you limit HP, you can limit their ability to engage groups of targets easily.
For example: with a 343 shield Min Scout, I have no problems taking a 2v1
Put me in a 270 or 198 shield suit and you have a totally different ball game. At 198 I would limit myself to only ever fighting 1v1 from a sneak attack. You don't have the health to survive an extended fight.

I would never do that. All I want is a role that is tangible for scouts, and that role is maintaining eWAR superiority and preying on those who stray too far from the pack.
Scouts are like snipers in that regard. We punish those who make stupid mistakes.
Don't damp and head off on your own? Kiss your sorry ass goodbye.
Heavy walking around with only a logi to guard him? You guys should protect your assets better.
If you leave nobody on this objective, I will gladly take it you idiots. Then I will lay down a motion detector and a trap and ruin someones day if they try to take it back.
This is what I want. Not us literally running amok 24/7 with a cloak and picking our targets at will like we do now.
If I wanted to be fighting on the front lines, I should be bringing an assault suit, not a scout.

Hi all! Sorry to come here as a vendor, if you guys are interested in FW check my sig. I've opened a service channel, basically when someone queue for a FW, he has to write number of players of he squad and race, this will help to speed up the process and save some time for those interested in FW.
Join channel: FW Kickstarter
More people in = more FW matches

Here is a question.
Do you think that, assuming it were possible, having a tie in EWAR go to the dampened instead of the one with precision would create more flexibility with regards to EWAR mechanics?

There is no "tie" in current eWar.
You are scanned or unscanned. 0 or 1. Binary.
EDIT:
Wait, are you saying that the tie goes to the damped instead of the scanner?
In which case I support that. Would type more, but my hands are really cold and typing is hard. Just took the dog out for a walk.

My question is, if it were the other way around, would that give us more flexibility in working with EWAR numbers and pulling Medium frames into the picture, or would it not make any difference whatsoever.

@ Apex suits.....
"These are mostly for new players".... ... ... Takes over 100 wins in faction warfare and 10 million isk to obtain ONE.
facepalm
I advise even vets abstain from getting these suits. It will take you easily over 100 matches to make up for these purchases and that's if you are 100% isk positive.
The only redeeming quality is their utility in FW battles, being slightly better than current BPO fits. Which CCP just sold
