We should probably create lists for EU/US/ASIA scouts so we can get people in the same regions for this cup thingy.
I'll finally have my proto suits in time and might even have lvl 5 range amp by then too :)
I figure the tactics to use would be to just entirely avoid enemy contact - hack and run; they'll never be able to keep up and we can just keep running around and hacking whatever they leave undefended. |

I'll be the first to admit, I'm not any kind of uber-FPS player. So, I dont expect to even get on the bench for 'The A team'.
But what I do have, is mad planning and analytical skillz (as those of you who have read my tech posts may have noticed :) )
So, if there are scout brothers out there who are curious about what they can do with their, shall we say, "B team" skills, but lots of devious planning, lemme know, and I'll start putting together a roster for Team 4 Teh Lulz in all seriousness.
I'm in USA region. If it sounds fun to you, I would be happy to reference associate "Team 4 Teh Lulz" groups in other regions. I MIGHT even share my strategy guide with you
Please note: Playing "4 teh lulz" is 5erius b1zn3zz That means if you sign up, you will be expected to actually practice a few times with the group, and possibly work on ranking up particular skills higher, so we can cover strategic plans properly.

Hm.... FW sounds tough this week.....
As for the Scout squad, I can be part of the 'B' team roster.
I may not be able to make every match though given my work schedule that weekend but could be on-call to jump in for earlier matches if someone bails, or just be part of the starter B team with the understanding someone may need to jump in for later matches.
Some of the afternoon matches at 21:00 GMT may be difficult for me (or, maybe not - work is weird).
Anyway - I'm a AR, Shotgun, Laser or Sniper scout w/ my primary with the SMG as backup. L5 core skills + Gallente L5 skills. I can make custom fits if we need speed runners/hackers (L5 biotics, kinetics, stamina, hacking... I mean every core skill is maxxed because that's how I roll with my OCD).
Got no medium fits and no super buff officer weapon skills though.
Scout since open beta start. .7 something KDR.... like 5k kills. Just a humble rogue.... |

Mebbe after we all get our Gallente Wins
Btw, scout squad is destroying in FW. We really only lose about 1 in 8 when playing. |

May I have a spot on the B team? C team? Anything? I am newb at everything, I only have lvl 3 for most weapons, AR has prof 3, scramblers ops lvl 3, mass d, plc, and many others at least lvl 1, assault and logi derpships, logi and scout gallente taxis, scanner lvl 1, mini scout, and an assortment of other modules, but i do have a scout for nearly every situation.
My favorite playstyle: my match starter has uplinks, dual assault scram pists, dual enhanced cardiac regs, then after the battle heats up, i go to my Scram Rifle, smg fit with RE's and cardiac reg, or same fit with a scanner instead of RE's.
Also want some advice on what I should do with my 300,000+ unallocated sp. Want to go prof dampening, but i have mini scout, so it might not be of much use. Should i go Gallente?
I don't want to go Proto suits in fear of money loss, but should i? |

Yes they could ... yeesh. Won one in there today. Barely. Lost four, I think. Brutal. Lost both matches I played on the Gallente side. What? I like my mass drivers and scout suits... |

Yes, noticed this last night since it killed me being extra slow, my drop n dash didn't work as well as planned. Two weeks ago I dropped the scanner to not be dependent on it an went back to my bomber fit an everytime I do this I rack up mad kills especially on that map with the supply depot in the basement, get a bunch of twenty plus kill games in a row, then few days later they work like poop!
I wonder if ccp does like a personal nerf thing sometimes to people that get a ton of kills weeks in a row using the same weapons, ie: get tons of sg kills two weeks later hit detection sucks but only for you, you switch weapons for two weeks then grab the sg again an it's perfect, this repeats.
Anyone else see odd patterns like this? |

But had a few improve booms tonight and they do take noticeably longer. Might be FW spaminess on the map? |

i would play on the tourney too...but this built i do Not enjoy playing dust...so i rarely play which results that i'm rusty... my aiming is off or i get a blue flare with my shotgun. the time is over were i could dominate an Ambush game with an adv scout. i think i dont even try anymore.. cause the scrub in militia gear with his militia AR will still kill me in 0,5 secs. i think its some kind of a psychological thing..you now, when you already think of yourself as crap you are already crap :/ |

Had decent success running with this tonight:
ADV Minmatar Scout
Highs: 1x Complex Shield Extender, 1x Basic Precision Enhancer
Lows: 1x Enhanced Cardiac Regulator, 1x Enhanced Profile Damp
Weapons: Toxin Assault Rifle, Submachine Gun
Grenade: Flux
Equipment: Droplink
The sweet siren call of the Assault Rifle is calling. Its hard to resist too. Though I already have decent amounts of SP already sunk into NK's, SMGs, and Shotguns. Not sure I want to add AR's to my list also. Anyone else run a fit similar to this able to comment? |

I've been trying to get back into scouting this week. Not going all that well I admit but I've had a bit of success with this fit:
---
ADV Gallente Scout
Complex Cardiac Regulator Complex Kinetic Catalyzer
Compact Nanohive
Locus Grenade
Standard SMG
K-5 Specialist Shotgun
Complex Shield Extender Complex Light Damage Modifier
---
If I'm being scanned down by prototype active scanners I switch to a scout suit with a militia profile dampener on it. ( I switch out the Cardiac Regulator. )

Play with me then I mainly run Knives/SMG with Scanner or Remotes as I see fit. I can also run shotguns/flaylock. I'm pretty much an decent all around player. When I run with Shotty and a few others in a scout squad, I generally go do much better, and get into the top 6 in the scoreboard. GG yesterday, but, ahhh, you really need to cut down on the complaining.
*Sigh* I really need to get myself unbanned.
I don't know if I would ever put you on a team with that much chatter during battle. The casual discussion is fine but when every kill assist and every death you get result in a comment, it becomes very disruptive.

Hope this helps. o7 Spawn Camping. Multiple Revives. OCD.
Aw yeah. Who remembers the original Ambush spawn mechanic? 100% predictable. Who remembers the second spawn mechanic? Throw down a single uplink and until an orbital wipes out the whole team you spawn in the same place till you're cloned out (Admittedly this is how I got that 20 person orbital). Oh, remember Skim Junction? With Biomass or Communications whoever hacked the CRU first lost.
Remember the "bug" where you could be revived like 100 times in a row? Even now, having an ally with a needle is more detrimental that people AFK in the warbarge.
lol KDR is a worthless stat.
When you realize that it is faster to hit "start" and go to "commit suicide" is a faster way to traverse the map than a vehicle or running, your KDR drops fast.
W/L ratio is another bad one. It may just be a good indicator of who AFK farms (lol GJ AFK solution, you've kicked me twice while sniping and twice while in the orbital screen, but you haven't done **** to stop me from AFK farming)
Thought the +ö stats are welcomed, Shotty, it is not very helpful in determining skill level. |

My greatest weakness. Yeah, I get pissed about sh*t, and tend to voice it to whoever listens. Just tell me to stop complaining, and I will normally shut the trap. As I said, it's just a problem of mine.
Also, I shut up during PC's. When I pub, It's generally open game.
Anyways, I'm not advocating that I want to be on the team. I think the best scouts should be on it to represent it. If that includes me, then I would say thanks to the people that think that high of me. Truth be told, I really believe myself to be above average, and that is all. |

Got my suit up to level 5 and profile dampening up to level 5, using a militia profile dampening bpo is more than enough to get below 28 dB. ( Plus I had a corp mate scan me with a bunch of different prototype active scanners and I didn't show up. Did show up on the Focused one though. Had to put on 4 Complex Profile Dampeners to escape from that one. )

To Appia: Had a blast queue sync'ing for FW with all you guys. It was as fun as any PC. On com discipline ... This is something I'm aware of and committed to working on. On gun game ... Agreed. No good way to measure skill. Stats are the only tools we have.

Wanted to ask you about running a Precision Enhancer - does it really help us given already being Lv5 scout?
I also have Lv3 Precision |
