ive notcied recently that scouts(atleast on ICC) have became very popular all of a sudden....

I guess its the luth infestation. i've seen lately that having a scout instead of a dred in a medium to large group of ships realy has a good impact on the enemies death/jump out numbers. after all, they take forever to uncloak and recloak.

my only question is. scouts used to have the best sensors in the game. now if i want to ping a dred in a recon scout, i must turn on all 5 ECCM's at once to get a short blip....

Then you arent pinging right. I play in scenario and on the human factions with alt accts. I play scout alot. I have no problem pinging or beaconing.

No the devs readjusted the loadouts on all scouts.

From patch notes.

Quote:
- New Scout and Corvette layouts implemented for ICC, K'luth and UGTO.

The new loadouts on the Human Scouts are actually quite good...

-ICC Stealth Corvette: 4 Fusion Torpedos, 1 Chem Laser
Not that good if you trying to shoot someone from anything further out than like 450 gu

-UGTO Assault Corvette: 2 Heavy Particle Cannons, 2 Proton Torps
Now this is wicked, I poped a few dreads just by using this. It's now my fav ship on DS. Better than my Modded BC.

-Kluth.... (I havn't played Kluth in a while so you tell me the load out on your Combat Scout.)

But as you can see, the Scouts are now worthy combat ships. But that comes at a price. What happen to the Sensors, ECM, ECCM? The AC used to have 1 ECCM. I was able to ping lots of luth with just 1 ECCM.

And also the Anti-Sens and Long Range Scout: Whats the difference. They both have the same amount of Sensor/ECM/ECCM slots... and they both have the same wep loadout: 1 Chem laser.

The only difference is that when you spawn a new Anti-Sens Scout it has pure ECM. And Vice Versa for the Long Range Scout. So wahts the point of these two scouts. They are absolutely the same. Please answer!

Really? That seems a bit selfish.

Could it be to not use them all at once - instead, to cycle through each of the ECCM systems one by one to provide multiple chances to do so?

Yeah right, Ill take you up on that little challange. A frigate of your choice vs my Assault Scout. And you said you reckon a frig coult out accelerate it and out-maneuver it right? Well my Assualt Corv can be modded. If you think the frigs are fast and more agile.

Selfish - I don't think so.

I just find responses to the general forums to be disappointing from some players through to some greens at times.

Hence: I'll keep my thoughts and opinions on tactics for my fleetmates and friends if that's OK?
