Hey guys. I finally went back to my Minja roots, and I must say. I am beginning to love it.
I used to be an amazing scout (but then CCP Shanghai attacked :P) and now I'm a bit rusty.
First game: 22/9
Scout m/1 Series
3x complex shield extender
Basic PG upgrade
(empty lowslot)
ZN-28 (prof 3 and scout level 4)
M209 (prof 4)
Repair Tool
Remote Explosives
Flux Grenade
Cost 38,180 ISK

But yeah,com loving scout again. I'm playing and re learning stealth (I hate cloaks refuse to skill em for now)
Any tips of something?

EDIT: Did this on my Alt, who doesn't have max fitting skills. I'd run a damp and a Kincats on my main acc)

Ghost is the only one I know of that still regularly runs them and finds them useful.

Look who's coming back :-)

Bahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

What he fails to show is i killed him 10 times that match afterwards, and he went 1-17.

It was very lucky, I admit.

I was very surprised he didn't die to the first SG balst...but of well.

BTW i played against Aero today...killed him 8 times, 3 as a heavy, 5 as a scout with a SG.

Poor Aero.

TIL some people mistake falling for flying.
There is a moment in Toy Story between Woody and Buzz that explains it pretty well.

It's easier to fail than it is to succeed, so the trick is not to fly & succeed but to fall & fail.

Life's questions=Answered.

I love Douglas Adams instructions for flying from the Hitchhikers Guide series (i think it's Restraunt At The End Of The Universe).
It's easier to fail than it is to succeed, so the trick is not to fly & succeed but to fall & fail.

There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] suggests, and try it.

The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt.

That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard.

Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.

One problem is that you have to miss the ground accidentally. It's no good deliberately intending to miss the ground because you won't. You have to have your attention suddenly distracted by something else when you're halfway there, so that you are no longer thinking about falling, or about the ground, or about how much it's going to hurt if you fail to miss it.

It is notoriously difficult to prize your attention away from these three things during the split second you have at your disposal. Hence most people's failure, and their eventual disillusionment with this exhilarating and spectacular sport.

If, however, you are lucky enough to have your attention momentarily distracted at the crucial moment by, say, a gorgeous pair of legs (tentacles, pseudopodia, according to phyllum and/or personal inclination) or a bomb going off in your vicinty, or by suddenly spotting an extremely rare species of beetle crawling along a nearby twig, then in your astonishment you will miss the ground completely and remain bobbing just a few inches above it in what might seem to be a slightly foolish manner.

This is a moment for superb and delicate concentration. Bob and float, float and bob. Ignore all consideration of your own weight simply let yourself waft higher. Do not listen to what anybody says to you at this point because they are unlikely to say anything helpful. They are most likely to say something along the lines of "Good God, you can't possibly be flying!" It is vitally important not to believe them or they will suddenly be right.

Waft higher and higher. Try a few swoops, gentle ones at first, then drift above the treetops breathing regularly.

DO NOT WAVE AT ANYBODY.

When you have done this a few times you will find the moment of distraction rapidly easier and easier to achieve.

You will then learn all sorts of things about how to control your flight, your speed, your maneuverability, and the trick usually lies in not thinking too hard about whatever you want to do, but just allowing it to happen as if it were going to anyway.

You will also learn about how to land properly, which is something you will almost certainly screw up, and screw up badly, on your first attempt.

I've seen Aero fighting in AFW. (Who I still have 11k LP and am still not sure who to side with.)

He was in a HAV, I hid behind a red's LAV hoping he didn't just destroy it. I realized it was him and began jumping to catch his attention.

The funniest part is in the end he never killed me, a BrAR assault did. (This was in BrAR514 :p)
