It could also be he's trying to say that scout (and light, people always forget the basic light!) suits suck. They do, you know. |

Is it really? I did a fair bit of testing before my re-spec (I was amongst those who got it _really_ late), and even with maxed scanner skills, proto gallente scout and all slots filled with proto scanning modules it wasn't useful at all. Things could have changed since then, but I doubt it.
EDIT: ...anyway, gallente scouts should get enough range from the suit bonus and scanner skills alone. Hell, all lights and scouts should. One more thing that was better in Chromosome :P. |

Do you really get that kind of range? I didn't. What I meant above was that the _passive scanner_ was useless, despite having done everything possible to boost its range. |

Assuming the numbers are correct in the first place, and that the implementation isn't broken ;).

Yeah, that's what I was looking for, thanks. Interesting... maybe I should dump some SP into that stuff and give it a try again -- just hope I won't regret it as much as I did last time ;). |

Yes, all the time. In Chromosome I relied heavily on the scanner to make up, at least partly, for the slow turning speed and choppy graphics (while it was more fluid back then it could be a bit disorienting in CQC). |
