The only way I can study this is with a neat spreadsheet, I just told Kagehoshi the same thing. I am interested but this text format is just not user friendly to me. I appreciate the effort, and thanks.

--Stuff--.

the caldari scout:
it is a great shield tanked scout and is superior at passive scan, and i agree with the recent nerfs to them. i do agree that the precision bonus should be at 3% instead of 5, but the range should be at 2% since it should be the king at close range scans instead of long range.
slots 4/2

the gallente scout:
this is a well balanced and well fitted scout that can easily avoid scan and should have long range scanning capabilities whether it can scan at long rang range or not. i do like that it is 3% to damps instead of 5 but the range should be kept at 5% so it can have that long range ability.
slots 2/4

so im almost done with the scout spread sheet but im wondering what the Cal and Gal racial bonus would be like.

something that doesnt give a direct bonus to damps or precisions but something that benefits the use of them.
any suggestions?

thanks for clearing that up, and should the Cal scout have a 2% bonus so that it ='s a basic module and not an adv. since the gallente bonus ='s a basic mod.

I would just like to say that as long as a damped Cal or Gal scout is able to tell where you are looking, there are always going to be assaults/heavies/logis getting RE's/shotties to the face as soon as they round a corner. There is simply no way of dealing with that as an assault or heavy unless you have one in the squad, which is a ridiculous requirement in a game where choice is supposed to be king. If possible, I'd like directional info removed from passive scans and have directional info be an active scan thing only.

I really like that idea. Right now hardly anybody uses active scanners because the Caldari scout is just better for immediate awareness. The Caldari scout gives itself and all it's allies 360 awareness out to 50-70m skills/modules depending, which is where the majority of combat takes place vs the active scanners ability to only look in a single direction and requires more effort to use while alerting the enemy you see them.
