It will also be immune to all passive scanning without modules.
Fit one damp and the cloak, nothing will be able to see it, no matter what you do. Keep telling yourself that, huehuehuehue....
Actually that is the case, but there is purpose to it, the gal scout has been made to be the hard counter to the cal scout, whereas the cal scout can effectively out scan the other scouts, and to be quite frank a scanned scout is a dead scout. The cal scout then has to decide between effective scanning defense or better range. The min scout has an effective role quickly dropping point defenders and hacking. The gal scout is quite simply a dampened light assault unit.

Don't tell him about the Cal Scout, I wanna see his WTF?!? expression when he gets shotgunned in the face while cloaked for the first time.
2 complex dampeners and a gal scout beats out 4 complex precision mods on the cal scout. You'll have to depend on gal scouts focusing entirely on ehp to catch them with their knickers down otherwise I'd depend more on situational awareness in this match up.

Technically, he's right. You'll never be picked up by scanners while cloaked...Not with one dampening mod. However, the Gal is going to break cloak at some point and that is when the Cal has his chance. Granted it will have to be a dedicated scanning scout.
Can you imagine the cat and mouse games between the 2...Will be epic.
To truly be a ghost the Gal will need 2 dampeners.
as a numbers game, lets say the gal scout throws on
2 complex precision enchancers
2 complex dampeners
2 range extenders
This gives it 24 precision, and profile of 14
A Cal Scout with
4 Complex Precision Enchancers can't catch a gal scout
And a cal scout needs 1 complex and 1 basic damp to avoid the gal scouts 2 complex precision mods
Which leaves the cal scout with a shorter scan range as well
The cal scout was not built to compete with the gal scout

I look forward to beating the hell out of people who don't fit dampeners on their Galscout, though. I don't think dual damps will be that common.
lol, if I played gal, I'd always have 1 dampener on at all times to at least go ghost with the cloak. Also I'd bet there will be a sliding scale which one retreats to duel damps when getting jumped on too often.
Also, the benefit of damps is the fact they are so cheap which allow you to go expensive in other categories. While fotm chasers are usually ignorant to their newly adapted roles, they do learn fast as evident as tank drivers in 1.7 and how much smarter they are now compared what they used to be.

I don't think it'll be as common as you think.
By that logic what cal scout would run 4 precision mods? It was a comparison, with both fully modded to be the best scanner. Plus its not the end of the world if the gal scout counters the cal scout, I was just pointing it out.
