Scout? Yeah i'll call IMBA on that.

as you mentioned the scout vs demolisher matchup, i recognized the demolisher pretty well counteres the scout. thats so funny because the scout can detect mines, and therefore should counter the demolisher in some way early on. the opposite is the case. why?

I found that pretty odd too. The other thing is that you can get the scout + the small mine so instead of fewer mines in a game you have bigger mines >.<

As far as the scout being fragile... Lately I've been playing with the scout + upgraded light plasma... then adding an iron hull... add a fireball... up fireball... up hull... save for gold hull... then match 5~7k weapon to counter best opponent on opposite team...

That seems to work well for me and really the only fragile time is when you're saving 1250 for the first hull... which goes by quickly considering you get force gold in addition to your creeping. After that the defensive system adds life regen in addition to the spell block so I'm always at the front of the battle unless I run back for a tele to pk at a cp.

So ya a scout with 7k hp can take out a heavy tank easy. The funny thing is that I noticed that the ensnare that people can tele out of is the only thing that works 100% of the time on the scout and is targetable to the unit. So... grab your net launchers if that scout is really annoying you.
