Without fitting one module the gallente scout will be immune to all scanners except for the proto focused (unless you have a gallente logi).
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.

I think my Cal Scout has something to say to you.
Hell there are still Focused scanners, those scan down to 14 (even better for a Gal Logi).
Remember, if precision and profile are equal (or both round to the same number) then the scanner wins. |

Focused scanners will scan down to 15dB only with the Gal Logi, but they are still crap.
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. |

You're right, didn't realize they changed focused scanners precision...ouch.

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.

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.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

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.

Alright, numbers then!
Gal precision with 2 complex precision mods is: 40*0.9*0.8*(1-(0.2*0.869))=23.79.
Cal Scout with 1 complex dampener: 35*0.9*0.75=23.626. Gal will scan the Cal. And from range of 74.6m, unless cloaked. Cal wins with any additional dampener or cloak.
Cal Scout with 4 Precision mods: 40*0.9*0.75*0.8*(1-(0.2*0.869))*(1-(0.2*0.571))*(1-(0.2*0.283))= 14.91.
Gal Scout with 2 dampeners: 35*0.9*0.75*0.75*(1-(0.25*0.869))=13.869. Gal goes undetected even without a cloak.
I'd say this probably goes to the Gallente. CCP updated the precision to 40 for scouts and that really gave them the edge.
Now I have to rethink which scout to play, Caldari scout just will not compete. |

Not sure why any game would require the skill of "running for long durations", the Amarr scout doesn't seem like it really has a defined place on the field. Might as well stick those points into the Amarr Sentinel.

Gal scout with 2x complex precision enhancers, 2x dampeners, and 2 free slots for either range amp or armor would be a very fragile proto suit, just to detect a Caldari on the off chance that the Caldari is running only one dampener and the cloak. I don't think it'll be as common as you think. |

Nope OP is correct.
Not even a Cal scout can find a Gal scout
At level 1-5 the Gallente scout has a 12.5% lower Scan profile than the Caldari has in precision. Lower = better
Since Dampener give a 25% bonus vs a precision enhancer which is a 20% bonus the Caldari scout will never be able to find a Gallente scout.

Gallente Scout is supposed to be the stealthiest of them all.
It's even in the description of the suit.
So yeah, sounds about right that a scout at level V would be extremely difficult to scan down.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

I plan to run two complex precision enhancers on my Caldari scout, so Gallente scouts would need one dampener and be actively cloaked to avoid my scans, or two dampeners while uncloaked and never get scanned by me. Assuming that scout wants to detect me and remain completely unseen, thats four slots they're giving up - sufficient gimp to the suit in my estimation. |

This seems like the plan. Most cloaked scouts will be invisible to the majority. What percentage of players will be doing Gallenti Logi anyway? Just a random selection would indicate something less than 4%. Unless too many read your post! /joke
Look at the numbers for tank scanners. We will never see most scouts. Once they hit ADV then there is nothing a tanker can do.
Scouts with Nova Knives will control Null Cannons. This is as planned by CCP/Shanghai. Why are you having a problem with it?
And so it goes.

More than likely, because I believe the precision enhancers only effect passive scans not active.

After the update, anything under 28 dbs is unscannable. That wont be hard. You do not need to be a scout for that.

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.
