I really like the Caldari shield regen and part of its bonus (the range), but the scan precision seems almost worthless honestly. It can already passively scan all suits above scouts, and scouts will be dampening to dodge active scanners, so I'd imagine I'd be difficult to utilize that bonus well.

That being said, and assuming I did my math right. It's possible to get a sub 15dB passive scan on the Caldari scout.

The precision bonus is just to catch scouts, and no you can't get 15, 16.78 is the highest and that with 4 precision mods.

Also it takes two precision mods to catch one dampen mod on a scout, except gal scout which you shouldn't even try.

And for what scout I am going for, Caldari, before the suit was even released, whatever racial they gave it, I was going to main it, I have been saving sp and have yet to spend it into any suit waiting for the cal scout since beta.

Caldari scout has has a base scan precision of 45dB. With relevant skill level 5 (scout -25% and scan precision -10%), it nets a -35% reduction to scan precision, which comes out to 29.25dB.

3 Complex precision enhancers (at -20% each) with the stacking penalty will net a 49.488% reduction.

29.25-(29.25*.49488)=14.77476

That's what I got anyway.
