Yes.
The Caldari scout is, imo, superior to the Calassault unless the Calassault gets a buff due to the massive regen potential. It can also evade scans, has a decent onboard passive scanner, and moves quickly in addition to the cloak. All of these are great things.
Again, the Amarr one is faster than an Amarr assault, evades scans, has a cloak, etc. The idea is to ghost in, put down hives, kill everything, and ghost out to restock again. Strafing in rep hives is powerful stuff - with a scout strafe it will be even better.
The Gallente one is mostly a combat one, but capitalising on the in-built stuff a little more.

Ok i think i understand. You are using Scout suits as light assault with slight E-war advantages.
Makes sense. And its all and all, what most people will probably do too.But you do know a Gallente Logi will be able to scan you 90% of the times if you dont run Dampners or run low level dampeners? You do know that GAllente and Caldari scanning abilities are almost useles vs high level players unless reinforced with modules right? Im sure you do. Well thanks for sharing :3
I am aware of all of these. The scout's advantages are certainly counterable. However, that requires sacrificing a lot of fitting. To counter a scout's passive scanning without another scout, you need to fit a dampener. That reduces your tank to the point where I can directly compete with you - except I still have a speed advantage, cloak, etc.
A Gallogi with a proto scanner or a focused scanner can scan my Gallente scout. That's it, though. And that's massive. So many people have so little awareness without a scanner, it makes sneaking up on people laughably easy.
Anyhow, best of luck whatever you do with your scouts in 1.8. o7
