We can pretty much guarantee cloak is off the table, even if it would be cool, so how about a more 'glass cannon' idea?
5% to damage and speed per level, for example, where the LLV and saga 2 have extra tank/resistances slav has extra speed and damage while keeping the std LAVs ehp/slots.
Just sparking thoughts. They should cost half as much as a militia lav, have half as much HP, no slots, but are slightly faster and have an in-built 360-¦ scanner with 100m range... No, seriously, what is the purpose of a scout lav again? I know you're messing around but that's the reason I'm asking in the first place. I wish for every item to have a reason to be in the game, when asked that question the answer shouldn't be "er...I don't know". So hopefully ratatatatat can fix that problem with a bit o help.

Also:I tried to ewar my Minja yesterday, one and two range mods, pretty much useless on there honestly.
Fit a proxi scanner instead, not exactly what I wanted but it works, will have to make due I guess. Just sucks my level 5 skill is useless to me now ya know?

I have them on an increasing number of fits, but have yet to use them. Not because I dislike them, but because I completely forget about them. I often wonder how much ISK I have thrown away by just having them on my fits, or how much easier some situations would have been had I actually used it.

Cal scouts are the new cal logis, bonuses to worthless equipment. It's hard to say hives are worthless, but they arenot worth the isk for how long they last on the field.

My passive inner ring has spared me many a death by NK Scout; guys who had me dead to rights. My middle ring, on the other hand, has been giving me trouble lately; seems an increased number of Assaults have been ducking my CalScout's midrange scans. I'm considering running a precision enhancer to boost my middle ring to 29 dB; if the Assaults are single damped (30dB) it'll pick 'em up as ably as proto active scans (28dB).

It is a great finisher and a great popper of equipment. I wouldn't dual wield it, but it does make for an excellent followup to an alpha strike. Also works wonders against the wiggle-wigglers.

Pocket rockets !! Can't get enough of 'em !
Just be sure to get level5 to boost the splash radius. Most people who try them dislike them because the initial splash is a bit tight.
Or be like Llast and go for direct hits ! |

Who else here runs RR's. I got some hate mail for my fit the other day & it kind of suprised me. Seems like the standard scout light weapon i notice on the killfeed is still SG's. Not sure if they were trying to call me out for fotm or scrub fits.
Only thing that would make my standard scout fit more caldari would be if it automatically sent invoices for the rounds it took to kill someone to the victim.
My response was "would you prefer i went back to using the ScR?"

My response was "would you prefer i went back to using the ScR?" I don't understand how anyone can think the RR is a FotM weapon, or that using it on a scout is an issue.
They nerfed the RR enough I think. I used it for awhile, but fighting from a distance was never my thing.
I think that person was just whining. I mean, did you see the guy who posted about NKs being unfair to his Minmatar Heavy because it OHK'd him? Some people are just plain crazy.

Has anyone tried range amps on Minja lately, what am I doing wrong? i dont use range amps any more since ewar changes and nerf to that module. ewar is pretty crap now...gone back to good ole fashioned manual stealth hehe. you know about the circles? http://dust514.com/news/2014/12/uprising-1.10-overview-patch-notes/about 4/5th down that page it goes into the detail. plus RAs at complex are now only 15%. all a bit meh really
gotta say though cal scout still seems viable. took my alt out for a spin in a C/1 tonight and altho i had my arse handed to me 5+ times by a duvolle rifle wielding gk.0, it was pretty effective at p.scans. put 2x PEs on it and a single RA. 27 profile, 24 precision. RA took scan radius to 52m give or take, up from 45 or so. i thought that 7m might be worth the slot. This alt of mine also has combat rifle maxed out - **** i like that thing.
might have to try him out for a few more fights tomorrow...

I switched all my assault suits to the ARR, but i prefer the standard variant when i have the ability to get the drop on someone. Start with a headshot, watch them jump, then finish them off as they spin around to counter. So nice.
Seems to me like the cal scout is too squishy to take advantage of thier bonus. I've almost completely stopped using cloaks, precision mods or range amps since 1.9 dropped. Dmg mods & kincats don't lure you into a false sense of security like trusting tacnet does. I can outrun someones scans if needs be & i noticed 2 complex kincats seems to take away any terrain issues.

I don't know how anybody could ever use it. Direct Hits that is all you can do with it With two Enhanced Damage Mods (might be one basic and one enhanced can't remember the fit I used exactly) I can stand in front of a wall and shoot itGǪ the splash does not kill my basic Minja. But if I recall correctly it does more direct damage than the Core Flaylock.

My response was "would you prefer i went back to using the ScR?" I run RR's a lot. I play a ranged scout and I do not care what anyone says. Tell them to go pick up any other FPS and tell you which has the scout role as only knives/shotgun CqC only. I have never played one that did not have the scout role as the medium/long range precision/sniper weapon class with a pistol or knife sidearm. If it has a scope I will use it and In Dust514 I will use everything else too.

With recent discussions I will set up my PS3 to throw my characters in NN. May also run some tests (new network set up).
So:
If you see me on don't bother sending squad invites, I'm not being rude and ignoring you, I'm probably out of the room or have my head in the back of the cabinet messing with cables.
Also, whoever is monitoring incoming applications to NN, you'll see me and my Alt apply some time today.
Don't get your hopes up, I've been away for so long that if I decide to play I'll be completely dis-orientated and will likely get frustrated and quit again haha.
We'll bang, OK?

As for the RR discussion, I specced it specifically for the ranged scout build, who better to flank and hit from the side than a speed tanked cloaker?
Isn't that what it's for?
I've said it before but for a long time I would've described my play style as "Flanker Wank3r" going so far as to actually have suit builds named this. But the RR was getting some really nasty nerfs last time I played and I felt myself getting forced into using something else.
Has the RR improved? It was damn near useless last time. ARR was somewhat OK.
We'll bang, OK?
