Say I have profile dampning skill maxed out, and I use 4 complex profile dampners on an gallente logi suit, what's it going to take for someone to pick me up on radar? Can people with active scanners find me? |

Calculate the reduction given by skills, and apply it.
Calculate the reduction given by modules, and apply each one individually.
The more modules you stack, the less benefit you get from each, but you still get a benefit. I would do this myself, but I'm busy playing ACV right now. I might come back in a few hours to do it. I don't remember if there's a stacking penalty on Dampeners or not...
No matter what you do, there isn't a way to reduce ANY suit below 18 Profile though, which means the least practical Prototype Active Scanner can still pick you up once every 10 seconds, and keep you lit up for 3 seconds at a time.
Last I remember there was no stacking penelty on dampness, I was wondering because CPD give a bonus of 25% so for of them means 100%? Is this a waste? Btw I run a sniper on this fit, no nades, 2compacts, 3 complex dmg mods and one armour extender.
Are ppl with regular scanners gona be able to see me?
I'm not afraid of active scanners because of their range which sucks cause I really wanted to use them.

So is it a waste using 4 cpds? And profile dampning V? |

At this point I'm going to assume: A) They don't know B) They are reworking the whole system so they feel there is no point in sharing the math behind it. I'm very much hoping its B)... At this point it seems the only advantage to minimum profile is to avoid active scanners anyway, which is...super useful because *everybody* uses those things (obviously i've just jumped on the bandwagon...). Sorry, I don't do sarcasm well IRL either.
The reason I started working on stealth was because of 1.4 no shared team scanner. Makes being a stealth sniper a better option then an armour sniper |
