Started a fresh new ALT today to start working on a sneaky scout. I have zero skills in anything besides remote explosives. I am just running a militia scout suit. And I see SCAN PREVENTED. Pretty sweet. But really. What kind of BS equipment are you people using that it can't even pick up a brand new militia scout with zero skills? What is the point of that scanner? To only pick up medium frames or higher? lol

I agree. My logi runs the pimp ****. But I swear. Today, probably 3rd match out of the academy. I blew up a dude on D with remotes and then shotgunned two of his buddies that ran in for the hack after him. They spawned at the CRU so I laid down some more remotes on D and ran the hell out of there. As I ran away I saw SCAN PREVENTED. Was a pretty scouty feeling. Didn't even know it was possible in militia gear.

I guess that explains it. So that means the lvl. 1 scanner can't pick up scouts of any level. Interesting. I know most serious players are going to use ADV at least but that means I can probably disregard dampening skills for awhile on my new alt so I can focus on other stuff first as I will be grinding pubs to build his new little fortune.

In my experience, most players will take in a least a lvl 3 scanner for this reason. People new to the ballerina party are just now getting lvl 1. I've only seen a few jump that gap to proto scanner. With so many other flashy toys to skill into, I think people forget to up this one. I would put in a few to the dampeners early on just to be safe, but honestly core is more important.
On my main I have the proto scanner and I love it. Got sick of getting snuck up on while repping fatties. The way I look at it is having the dampening will open up more parts of the map to me (the parts with people who can't scan me) eventually. For now I have to stick to my home letter and guard it and run away alot. As I get the skills up I'll move to holding there home point. It's more fun but I'm soooo fragile right now. I only have 100 shields and 70 armor. lol

Militia minmatar light frame, 2 militia dampeners and you're dodgin the 36.
Hit lv2 scout and lv3 damps, and use enhanced/basic damp and you dodge 28's.( lemme check that one later, it's 3 AM.)
That makes sense to me though. You give up your speed tank to damp tank. A trade off is made for the benefit. But a militia suit with absolutely no skills or modules should not be able to beat a STD scanner. Dude with the scanner has SP invested and the militia suit has none. He might as well be spinning around in a circle with his **** in his hands instead of a scanner if it can't even pick up militia suits.
