Playing a scout sniper primary and working on a build (after 1.2, with a Gallente suit no less) for a ninja secondary. I have profile dampeners on both fits right now, but I'm kind of getting the impression that my sniper would be better off with... well, without dampeners.
Any other scouts have input on either fit idea? Beyond the obvious **** snipers, **** scouts, make a minja posts? |

dampeners won't help you for sniping, its better for assaults(&CQC). better but not good. |

Detection in this game has been neutered so bad that dampeners do next to nothing. It doesn't protect against LOS and the effective range of dampeners is shotgun range, which no one can detect a simple scout suit anyways without LOS.
Medium suits play better snipers due to higher module count and hp to live through a counter snipe, the scout sniper advantage is he is better able to re-position to a new location after each shot. That begin said i would replace your dampeners with stamina.

Yeah, people will still be able to trace by your sniper rounds.
I prefer cardiac mods for scouts this build, since they nerfed stamina recovery.
But I don't snipe...so don't take my advice. |

My brother gave up Scout sniping because the moment he gets seen by an enemy sniper usually results in a 1 hit kill.
Dampeners never worked for him. He has also tried complex shield and armor tanking but this setup still didn't help.
He now plays a Heavy sniper and it is rather effective with his Charge SR. When he runs out of ammo, he joins the blueberries with his Ishukone SMG before finding some nanohives or supply depots to get back to sniping. |

Thanks for the input. I'll give the cardiac mods a go.
Now to go get face raped while I build up enough SP to get better than basic nova knives. |

I thought the radar/scanning system was currently known broken? Or was that fixed in 1.2? |

This. It's why I gave up Scout Sniping on my alt.
I find the dampeners seem to work in CQC as I have surprised enemies. But that could just be the redberry not paying attention. |

I'm a huge fan of Kinetic Catalyzers on all fits.
With Gallentes you have to get into Armor Repair mods.
Sniping, you can add plates since speed isn't always a priority.
Set up 2 or 3 slightly different versions of the same fitting (use the Militia modules to sample) and see what works for you and they way you play. |

I messed around with the proto snipers doing the same thing, but never put any effort into catalyzers or plates. I'll give those a looky-loo.
*oh god, did I just actually type looky-loo?* |
