I ran a scout character as well. He had +1 Aux, so he could use drones for scouting. Brother Lars would make a good scout too.. his high fate can get him overlooked, and he's quite tough to take anything that can spot him. Newbies would make good scouts as well, as they are expendable enough so that their losses don't matter.
The thing is, every character can be considered a scout, as it's a tactical role. The scout is whoever is in front. Naturally, the mission commanders don't put the most potent character in a role that can be filled by everyone, including sods and drones.
It's easy to say that you never intended to make an invisible amp-sniper, but that's what you built. Sure, you can call her a scout, but that doesn't mean you didn't make an invisible amp-sniper. The two are not exclusive.
I just have to think, though, 'do you tell the truth about your character?'.. and your character is afraid of body mods. So you've spent every token you've earned and borrowed on body mods and implants. You've submitted yourself to an experimental treatment from an item called the death-cube. Your body mods have been custom and groundbreaking, along with a long list of features that you wanted to have.
So, no, your character is not afraid of body mods. Lets look at the rest of your claims, then.
Does your character have low mind? Your character has +2 to mind. Calling +2 low is, well, inconsistant. +2, including one from char creation, is not low. It could be higher, but as mind points only rarely run out, so it's probably the optimal amount.
You do have a killcount of zero, but that's the same as most people. Many missions have very few enemies to fight, and the times when you have taken killshots (several) haven't worked out, but the attempts have been made. Saying that you refuse to kill anyone isn't correct, you've been willing to kill people in the past.
So do you have a strong prohibition against killing? Well.. no. You've never let it stop you before in the past, and you willingly volunteer on missions knowing that you may very well have to kill people. It's easy to say that you don't want it, or you don't like it, but it's never affected your in-game behavior. How about disliking being controlled by others? Well, you claim to have a very strong one, but you just found out that Steve has an override button in your brain, and despite admitting that you haven't come to terms with your officers over it, are rushing off to volunteer for another mission where that might be in play. OOC, you vote in favor of keeping the override button, and providing very few reasons for it not be used frequently.
As for optimizing, lets take a look at the -2 to con, which you chose before you ever had your body preventing you from using con weapons. In return for that, you are 'forced' into using the two most token-efficient weapons, that also have significant utility capabilities. That is what a powergamer does, goes for the most bang for the buck. Same for the uncon boost recently. You'd need three levels to get another point in exo, and there are lots and lots of useful uncon stuff available these days, and it's looking like a really bright future for an uncon user. In addition, strength is irrelevant to the new forcefield blades. I've got a feeling that the next set of body mods would have had forcefield claws in it..
The comparisons to Xan seem reasonable, but it's just as easy to interpret that as not boosting stats beyond the point where they are worth less than the points you put in them. It might mean you're a better powergamer than him.
I do believe you when you say you wanted to build a scout, though. Scout is a role that you've defined for yourself, so you would get to do whatever you want. Saying that you don't get to do "your job properly", when you are the one who has created that concept of "your job" is fully every bit as conceited and obnoxious as my pointing it out to you. So drop the double-standard, if you want me to back off.
I hear this stuff, and I hear things like "I'm perfectly okay with the murder of billions as long as I don't have to get MY character's hand's dirty." "I'm okay with Steve having control buttons for every other soldier, as long as I don't have MY freedom restricted." "Pshaw, all you dirty characters are prisoners and soldiers, but MY character is here due to a mistake, and has a nice clean job where she gets to do something useless and gets paid for it." "All you poor people have to worry about teamwork, while I get to define MY role in missions."
Me? I'm just a dirty little bastard who is projecting his problems onto you, because Lenlon is Miss Perfect who cannot have any problems of her own.
