@OP, you only need an Enhanced Profile Dampener. The Complex does nothing for you other than take up some extra CPU and add to the cost.
A single Complex Precision Enhancer is only going to pick up non-cloaked, non-dampened scouts. It also won't pic up doubled Dampened Medium Frames, if anyone still runs those. I don't find it useful at all on a Gal-Scout even with 2.

You do have a point. But thats exactly what im looking for. Heavies,Commandos, Assaults ( i truly dont know ANYONE who double damps their med frame, except me pre 1.8)logis...The Precision enhancer is so i can detect level 5 passive Dampened med frames mostly with maybe a dampener on.... Even if this is an ANTI scout fit, i NEED To know where the heavier enemies are to deal at my own pace with my cloaked bros.

PLUS, i really have CPU and PG to spare. E-war modules are pretty cheap to fit.

But then what are you implying; i should run then 2 Cx Precision enh? because i would.

Your innate 40dB scan precision, 36 if you've got the skill to level 5, will scan the medium and heavy frames regardless. The second one is useless until/unless Precision Enhancers get buffed to -25% when looking for scouts. You're better off with e shield or damage mod in the second High Slot.

Thats a more detailed explanation. +1
Im guessing i was wrong. ..

But i dont believe in scout eHP tanking and i;ve never used damage mods... : |

KING CHECKMATE Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 4858	Posted - 2014.04.05 23:20:00 - [1] - Quote So, we are still pretty early into 1.8 and OF COURSE , the new equipment dictates the new FOTM, same as when the A.Scanner came out, only Sentinels wouldn't run them.... But still ,many of the best Scouts are still old school scouts. Im not an old school vet,but i have been a chromo scout so i've been around for a while too, and except for those full proto scouts with proto shotguns 600+EHP tanked ''newbie scouts'' (probably FOTM chasers that were playing med frames in 1.7), killing other scouts come relatively easy. Now, to the thread. This thread is with the purpose of OLD and NEW scouts to post their fittings so others can RANK it and give their opinions on what to change or give ideas on what to improve. I'll start with my OWN fit and i'll of course, will be accepting critiques and ideas on how to improve it. I must note i HAve the following skills that are related to my trade: Profile Dampening 5 Radar Range 5 Scan Precision 5 Biotics & Kinetics 5 Shotguns 4 SMG's (Everything @ ) 5 Grenadier 5 Armor and shields at 5 PG and CPU at 5 GAL SCOUTS 5 Now my most used fitting goes something like: Arch-Demon H: Complex Shield Extender Complex Precision Enhancer L: x2 Complex Kinetic Catalizer Complex Range Amplifier Complex Profile DAmpener G: Thukker Contact Grenades Light & Sidearm: Ishuk Assault SMG Toxin SMG E: Adv Cloak Compact Nanos This version of my Gk.0 i Use powerful E-war modules next to some Speed augmentation and cloak to increase my chances of detecting enemies at further ranges while avoiding detection. Mostly used as a fast flanker, this fit also has one variation with 1 Cx Kinetic Cat replaced by a Reactive plate for more ''defensive'' (AKA camping) loadout. Also , while cloaked (and even without cloak) detection with scanners is almost impossible.The Contact grenade is a ''Wild Joker Card''. Letting me 1HKO other dangerous scouts (or at least leave them near death) and take down the shields of shield tanked enemies or Heavy Frames,to then proceed to annihilate their armor with my ISHIK SMG. Any Scout fits here will be discussed by myself and other interested scouts of different levels of experience. Feel free to also comment on my Fit. TY for your time.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 2844	Posted - 2014.04.06 00:01:00 - [14] - Quote Yeah the precision mod isn't going to help you much, and a second one would gimp your fit. If you're running Gallente, focus on hiding from your opponents and being able to run faster than them (dual sprint mods is good). Even though you might not be able to detect them at least they shouldn't be able to find you. Frost Kitty is an amazing scout, able to get 40-50 kills in a match easily even without a shotgun. He focuses on surviability, and flanking speed from what he's told me. Links: 7162 wp with a Repair Tool! I make logistics videos!

Ended up strapping the laser rifle to my "medic" fit and it fits like a glove, nice suppression from range to give me time to revive a team mate without them getting shot. In response to the Kincat: I dont actually have any points in Biotics at all, it's on my to-do list, but it never really called to me. If one affected base movement then it'd be another story entirely. Coincidently, that's why I use Ferro's. Unlike sprint speed, when Base speed is gone, it ain't coming back.
