The Generals corp is fighting for the Caldari. Just finished a match against 12 of them in full proto and officer gear.

If you intend to pursue Gallente FW rewards in 1.5, I suggest you prepare to compete at that level.

No one knows. So we asked. Still, no one knows.

We stand united. They cannot defeat that which they cannot see.

I have hit detection issues with NK even when an enemy merc is stationary....

I don't know how the game decides what's a true hit or just a shield flash.

I've started moving less toward mobility and more toward tank. People seem to backpedal just as effectively regardless of my sprint speed.

OH! I have a very good subject to bring up that I would like to discuss with the scout community first before making an official proposal.

As of now, Profile Dampeners lower your radar detection-profile, that is it. Profile is in terms your detectability by radar in this game. However what if we were to broaden what profile is?

What if we included the following into profile; Sound & Sight

What if Profile Dampeners could reduce noise produced by running/walking and melee, and reduce distance until perceived as an enemy?

For instance a sniper aims down his scope over two frames, heavy and light. The heavy is picked up and it's data is given to the user. Enemy, bla bla bla. But the scope moves over the scout and gives nothing, at the same distance. Basically profile would nerf enemy LOS detection of you.

On top of that, when you need to be sneaky, you boots get covered in shag carpet for silent footsteps.

I understand that the Sound has been proposed before but what really yanks my Tibetan Yak is that LOS defeats profile all the time. I showed up during the testing all the time when I was in LOS. No matter the distance until it was irrelevant. That needs to change IMO. It would also give a most noticeable use towards a lot of medium frames.

Indeed, one way or another we win. If the other team is full proto, help make it cost them more than the rewards are worth. Remotes will kill anyone, no matter how many complex modules they have on it XD.

Gotcha. Finding you took a couple tries. That's a sneaky "L" you've got there.
You'll be added to the Killboard momentarily. Welcome, Brother.

Been dual side arming lately and finding mucho success and dominating most 1v1s. Lead with the pistol, clean up with SMG.

STD Minnie Scout:

2x Shield Extenders
Basic Armor Plate
Enhanced CPU Upgrade
TT-3 Assault Scrambler
'Toxin' SMG
Locus Grenade

PEW PEW PEW PEWPEW

Try this out with the ADV suit.

1x Complex Extender
1x Basic Armor
1x Enhanced Kincat

TY-9 Breach Scrambler pistol
M209 Assault Sub
M1 Locus

Kicks some serious butt. Use the breach to ping the shields off super quick, then shred with the Assault SMG.

I use the assault SMG on my ADV fitting. That thing is beastly. Haven't given the breach pistol a go yet. Looks like I have some experimenting to do. Thanks for the fit.

Boarding this train of thought, for all of my Gal-Scout Bluebros, I made a thread for Gallente FW and a chat channel as well:

I'd love to cap some Caldari alongside you...

Sorry if I have overlooked something but I keep reading about " xxxx Scout only kills".
How does one figure that out?

I ask because I am not a dedicated scout, in Dust as in EVE I'm a jack of all trades with the vision to eventually have everything. Hell I only have proto light suits dont even have the scout suits yet. (Yes I do want to save my isk n get the scouties)

Messing around with the fitting tool.

Tried to create a Tough, Fast MK.0 suit.

Here is what I have. You can just BARELY make it work with everything maxed :P

Stats:
eHP: 447
294 shields
153 Armor
Sprints @ 9.26

2x Complex Shield
1x Basic

Ishukone Knives
Six Kin Sub (or a Cala's MK-33 if you feel lucky)
M1 Locus

1x Complex Reactive
1x Complex Kincat

1x Compact Hive

Seems perfect for a hit and run kit. Sprint in, get some kills, feel free to take some armor damage, you have both armor rep and a bit to spare. Pop a compact when you need to, get some armor back, and some ammo. You can still sprint for about 21 seconds straight too. Retreat for logi hugs when you need to.

Crazy idea here What if nova knifes were like remotes? And I dont mean throwing it I mean the whole L1 R1 thing. IF they put the lunge in the NK it would be cool that I could be used by L1(as it is currently not used) and R1 for normal attack.

L1= lunge(stabing motion), greater range, can charge, 2 second delay after use to start new attack ,only 1 knife used.
R1= doble knives, can charge, can slash without delay, no range added

What are your thoughts?

Thanks Shotty! And for all the great work you've achieved in this thread. It's a monument to your perspiration, and a work of inspiration for all of us Scouts!

Looks vicious :-)

Are you sold on that complex reactive plate?
Thinking you could trade that pinch of HP for a 400% faster patch up (w/complex repper)
