BrassFactory Dukes of Hazardous Waste Autodueller Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 365 Joined: Jul 29, 2012 Just my two cents: Higher speed should increase chance of a head on but not of an ambush. ......................... vet wv pvp4 pvp2 pvp1 Posted Nov 15, 2012, 3:26 pm

*Tinker* BibleThumpers Anonymous Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,546 Joined: Aug 1, 2008 My take on this is higher speed = more ambushes because of all that dust your making, (what's the word? dust would be exemplified on sandy maps?) that bad guys can spot you with, but perhaps getting encounters with a bit more muscles in them? just a though... Agreed with more head-ons ......................... vet marshal wv pvp3 zom circuit2 pvp1 cont Posted Nov 15, 2012, 7:34 pm

lordhuey Cranberries Sunday Driver Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 27 Joined: Jun 24, 2012 Here's a question. Does having two scouts, one with Pathfinder and another scout with Negotiator, mean that you have less chance of an encounter and, if an encounter does occur, you have a better chance of negotiating a truce? I assume this is the way. However, maybe only one scout spec applies per encounter? Do both scouting specs apply or just one? ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 26, 2012, 6:07 pm

*goat starer* Special Circumstances Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Contributors Posts: 10,907 Joined: Oct 29, 2007 i believe you set the scout for a travel.. and use their skills (and they get the training) ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 7:41 pm

*Longo* Longos Merry Men Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 6,659 Joined: Dec 15, 2007 Brings up interesting question. If I have a 300+ scout with Neg 6 and another 250+ scout with Neg 5 and Path 1, do I get the pathfinder bonus?

I would hope that you would get the best of both so that people could customize their scouts instead of having every scout be the same. ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 8:42 pm

*goat starer* Special Circumstances Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Contributors Posts: 10,907 Joined: Oct 29, 2007 i would hope you get to use one scouts skills only you know... the 'lead' scout who insists on conducting negotiations even though they are #### at it or the great negotiator who 'negotiates' to do the pathfinding despite having someone much better sitting behind them thats how the real world works! ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 8:55 pm

Additionally, if you have a higher skilled scout in a chassis with a negative modifier, you can sometimes have a lesser skilled scout actually do the work.  Essentially, it is the highest skill after all the modifiers which is your "scout" for that event. Also, as a side note, it appears you cannot get scout points from travels in solo Lorrys.  not sure if there are other chassis like that. ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp3 pvp4 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 10:23 pm

JuaN VaLDeZ Frontline Assembly Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Sinbinned Posts: 512 Joined: Mar 27, 2010 I ran a pathfinder 1 at 50 skill with another scout in the same car of 168 skill. pathfinder was active as I only got 1 encounter for that stretch compared to 2 or 3 without a pathfinder at 45 MPH. The pathfinder spec seems to be independant of who's actually the main scout of the squad. ......................... vet wv zom deathrceL1 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 10:41 pm

*Bastille* Raging Scavengers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 7,513 Joined: Mar 31, 2009 yeah definitely, Ive had no encounters with no scout travelling at speed. Ive only got eh one PF and so far it states on the squad page that: Note that this squad can travel a little faster than most without additional risk due to the presence of a Pathfinder scout. I take that pretty much how I see it (But as us Reds well know, people can't read  ). But have not had a squad with more than one scout and a PF as of yet. ......................... marshal vet wv pvp4 zom cont pvp32,12,1 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 11:30 pm Last edited Nov 26, 2012, 11:31 pm by *Bastille*

Juris Hessians Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,706 Joined: Sep 16, 2010 Actually I don't think putting a scout in a lorry does anything at all. I put a scout in a Tanker in a convoy (Neg5 I believe). I launched the travel and arrived at camp with a gunner in the buzzer going from 9 to 11 scout skill lol ......................... vet wv pvp1 pvp5 pvp4 race1 zom pvp2 deathrce1 pvp3 combat1 Posted Nov 26, 2012, 11:42 pm Last edited Nov 26, 2012, 11:42 pm by Juris
