You all may have missed something very very subtle about minnie running, go and look at it. A gallente scout runs in a very smooth manner, simple to hit. However the minimitar one runs quite jagedly, almost laggigly. Makes it harder to hit if spotted. Anyway, you gallentes can keep your passive hiders. I'll be OHKing heavies with that sweet knife bonus.
Cal just does appeal to my inner terrorist though, those passive scans remove the need for a scanner, more remotes, or cloak and remote.
I've lived without cloaks so far, so good luck, and watch out, the assassins about  |

Perhaps, but to me and some others it just seems to be be more jerky, gallente look good on paper however they have one problem-they're the everyman. Too much at once for too little. Cloaks gonna take up space, hiding from others is going to be good but lets face it, when it comes to crowds no scout ia lasting, especially with heavies being buffed. So now what do you have? A weaker logi suit thats invisible, good. BUT. heres the thing.
The Caldari Scout CAN AND WILL see you, he will go faster because of shields and use his highs to kick your ass all over the floor.
The Amarr will tank far better than you. No questions. You can outmove him slightly but lets face it, you have to get close to him as well, and his guns hurt.
Now the minimitar, my old friend. These two have dueled for a long time. Being the only two scouts. You can overtake his role as a speedster, but then you sacrifice your health. You can outtank him, but then he'll run off out of your range. You can try to get the sneak on him, but he'll have had months of experience if he's an old minnie scout of being the hidden knifer, this will be you only hope but if he runs off theres **** all you can do.
For me the minimitar was always the hunter assassin, the Nova's are a piece of art. Proto'd to full skills they can one shot anything. Nothing has resistance to them, so 100% damage 24/7. Whats yours is now mine too, loving the hack bonus. Listen well for my charge, PEKABOO, BEHIND YOU |

Even if i put 2 shields and 4 kinetics i'd be less efficient... but the one thing i can't stand from minmatar is that physical appearance.... Unless you're planning on running knives regularly the gallante is the more versatile scout. Even with the cloak the dampening bonus is extremely useful, and the increased scan range along with the base range buff will be godly. Stack a kin cat, cardio, precision enhancer and plate in low, with a shield and range enhancer in high and you'll be set. The mini wins out on base speed and hacking, and losses out substantially in visibility, survivability and longevity. That said, I'll still be running the Mini scout, but that's due to race loyalty a much as anything else. The only reason the gallente scouts seems to be more versatile is because we currently have way more useful low slot modules. Solely by its design the minmatar is the most flexible scout suit 3 H and 3 L is fantastic and allows the most flexible layouts. Now the additional speed and stamina paired with good shield skills and fantastic suit boni makes this a very good and versatile suit. I surely would go minmatar IF I could live with its design but...seriously...I can't...
