Trying to choose between the two, and would appreciate some guidance from those in the know.
Thanks in advance...Leadfoot
Both are Great.
ACtually,except the Amarr scout, all scouts are really powerful.
Caldari if you prefer FAST HP regen (the 50 per sec shield recharge) and better radar functions. With a Profile dampener and a range amplifier in your low slots you can be both stealthy AND have good range and precision so good passive radar.
The Gallente now has 3 hp per sec repair , which is nice,but suffers from speed loss while trying to increase its HP levels unless you use Ferroscales. I chose the Gal because with it i can equip a profile dampener and become trully radar invisible. Equip a range amplifier, and still have 2 slots for speed tanking.....BUT,i had to sacrifice High slots to get Scan precision enhancers so my HP is rather low....
It really depends.
Gal: Great vs other scouts that gave good passive scan. Gal can truly achieve low scan profile while retaining good radar range. Good radar range and overall good PG.
Cal:Best Radar performance. The 2 Low slots might be a problem considering the amount of GOOD low Modules vs the amount of GOOD Highs.For example, A caldari cant achieve the same speeds as a Gal or Minmatar because of the only 2 low slots. I can Quip 3 Kinetic cats and a Range amplifier and be FASTER and have MORE radar range than a caldari scout. But the caldari scout could equip 2 Precision enhancers and the Gallente has no way of surpassing this amount of scan precision.
Its trully give & take.
The Minmatar is best for Nova Knifing, Speed tanking and HAcking speed. The Nova knife bonus on this suits equals 5+ Complex damage mods for knife and the HAcking speed bonus equals a Full Complex Codebreaker,which are pretty hard to equip due to high fitting requirements.

And better looks.

This post is for a corpmate who used to be a Minmatar Assault. He's sitting on a few million skill points after the 1.8 respec, and was having trouble deciding between the two scouts. His playstyle is a fast flanker -- and we virtually always play in a squad. He uses a RR as his main weapon.
My gut says Caldari would play better to his strengths and style, but I wanted to solicit the forum's opinion before he spent those few million skill points.
Please keep the comments coming, and again my thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and observations....Leadfoot
I must disagree with Scout Registry , sadly for me...
I think the Caldari Scout fits better his style.
At proto level, equipping a Cx Range amplifier and a Complex Kin cat in your low slots, and at least 1 complex precision enhancer in your high slots results in a VERY capable flanker. With above avarege speed,scout stamina and a very powerful passive scan. So powerful you will be able to scan even scouts without profile dampeners...
As a flanker, knowing where people are is a must, and the Caldari Scout can be ''TANKED'' while not loosing SPEED for it...(By ''tanked , i refer to 1 or 2 shield extenders XD)
Now , im playing Gal Scout. I find it extremely good, but since active scanners are not so popular anymore i kind of feel like the EXTRA profile dampening is not working for me , at least not all the time, and i kind of wish i had faster HP regen and better scan precision...
I'd say your buddy should try out the Cal scout.
He wont regret it, specially if he plays with other corp mates frequently.
BUT WARNING, the Cal Scout needs the Passive Skills of Dampening, Precision and Scan Range at very high levels for full competence. But i must admit when all 3 are at level 5 and you equip those modules...heh...oh man.

Gal for scout hunting, because most scouts don't expect anything to dodge their passive scans. Cal scout has plenty of stealth for dealing with anything other than other scouts, so the Gal's stealth advantage doesn't mean much unless you're scout-hunting.
WEll said. Couldnt have said it better myself.
I actually enjoy killing scouts mostly, thats why i also use Dual SMG's and not shotguns.
I find the SMG more effective while dealing with cloaked speedy bros....
