I'm not going to judge up any more Grant bounties until I at least pay some others off
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.

Funny you should mention it because I just started experimenting with the Assault Scrambler Rifle/SMG combo. Assault Scrambler Rifle gives range, and strips shields, while I use Breach SMG with its increased armour damage to finish them when I get close enough. I picked up the Scrambler Rifle because I was tired of not having enough range to shoot across a street.

Now that said, I must admit that I have been using an Assault suit. I have found the fitting requirements too tight to fit a Drop uplink with the Assault Scrambler Rifle equipped, so if the fitting is that tight on an Assault suit I am unsure if I could make a decent Scout suit fit with the Scout suits that I have access to. I may give it a try, but I will have to delete an existing fit to make room for the new one.

Well Fox, you know as well as I do that scouts are about the sacrifices. The lost modules, the lost CPU/PG, the lost equipment slots, the lost health.

But it seems like the longer range of Scrambler rifles would really play into the scout-sniper just more medium long range. Also try the normal, the assault is more for those close up deals.

Bojo The Fantastic Bojo's Grand Bazaar 11	Posted - 2013.07.30 18:26:00 - [1] - Quote Hello mentors and students alike, I've noticed that the Training Grounds is too often swept under the rug. That's about to change. I'm announcing Bojo's Grand Bazaar Grants! Phase I: I will go through the training grounds and find the best, most prolific, and helpful mentors/authors and award them a cash sum for their work. Phase II: If you demonstrate a good reputation as a mentor/author, I will award grants to finance research that will be used for the purpose of writing a training ground thread. Yes your thread will have to have an official stamp on it somewhere otherwise I'll cut your funding. Why? Is it my ego? No, it's just for the general principle of credit due where credit earned. This may take a little to generate the deserving sums that some of our great mentors & authors deserve so be patient and let the chi flow. -Yours Truly Bojo The Fantastic; Entrepreneur Have Bazaar, will travel

Fox Gaden DUST University Ivy League 793	Posted - 2013.08.07 15:12:00 - [22] - Quote Well my contribution on this forum in the near future will be mostly advice, although I am sure that my guides continue to provide a useful resources for new players and players changing roles. I am doing research on an Alt into Heavies and LAVGÇÖs, but I donGÇÖt expect anything to come out of that for a while yet. I want to see how LAVGÇÖs fit into the context of the 1.5 vehicle balance and the 1.4 impact changes. (I understand that LAV damage at low speed was a bug where damage was applied to a clone multiple times as it stuck to the LAV.) In this era of the murder taxi the value of the LAV turret has been overshadowed. So I might do a LAV guide in the fall. With Fox I am just polishing up some base skills and keeping a lookout for new alternate stratagems to try out. I like to explore the Road Not Taken, but then I write a guide about it and the Road Not Taken becomes an 8 lane highway.

(ie me and hydraslav?) At the very least hydraslav should be on your list seeing as his fitting tool is beyond impressive and represents multiple days worth of manhours.

Yes Chankk did do some spreadsheets but he also did The Unified Theory of Scan Profile and General Tactics Overview. I just glanced and I see you did a Scout Guide and I will look into that. I appreciate your spreadsheet wisdom but understand that it was not the first thing I was looking for. Regardless I will look into spreadsheet authors.

They can read the specialty guides to learn when it is appropriate to break those rules of thumb.
