Honestly, I wish I could help you. You might be one of the only people I've heard of going for the gal logi since passive scans on a scout are so much better than a logi's scanner.

As for any logi, however, its much more effective to run cheaper modules with ADV equipment and good core skills. Having armor/shields to lvl 5 and engineering/electronics up to at least lvl 3 really helps you fit good items without having to sacrifice much else. For EQ, you honestly can't go wrong with bringing the basics. A needle and a rep tool net you more points that anything even without the eq bonus. Since you are in the mega scan suit, it seems almost obligatory that you should have one slot at least dedicated to the scanner.

However, if you really want to be the scanner guy for your squad, you can stack scanners. Having more than one makes that cool down almost insignificant. Especially with 3 eq slots but honestly, I don't see you getting much use from the suit as a scannerzilla with the recent scout changes :/

I run Logi and am into testing enough that I've opened proto on all four races to try them all. Based on my field tests if you're looking for max effect and best risk vs reward from a Gal Logi here is what I'd suggest Prototype Armor tank (both skills and mods) Upgrade fittings skills as needed to fill your slots Pro scanner - use wide field of scan run with a squad and drop scans as you breach an area for Intel points BDR-8 Rep Tool - Use this to maximize rep points, or unlock the Six Kin for duel target lock. 30% Injector - Until CCP fixes the WP awards going beyond the 30% needle is costing you potential WPs as well as CPU/PG and ISK. Outside of PC, or pure altruism for your squad never go beyond the 30% needle. Repper Nanohives - You're armor tanked and they can provide both WP earnings and self reps. Shield tank - getting Dropsuit Shield Upgrades to 5 gives an extra 25% shield HP, every little bit helps keep squishy support logi alive. Nades - Optional at this point in the game, if you run them run flux. Light Weapon - Fit best LW of type you most enjoy, but fit your tank and Equipment first. Misc - Both Biotic and Hacking upgrades are worthwhile as you develop further Hope that helps, Cheers, Cross SupportSP Rollover & an improved Recruting System
