Without eWar, we could easily shift to the other FOTM scout. You know, the gk.0?
That thing can scan decently, but from a map away.
Uhhhh, we have 2 high slots and our bonus gives us a extra 1.5 meters of scan range..at level five..with max scanning skills.

I got one, because it functions like a pre nerfed scanner but it is always on?
Also, you toss a Proto ScR/CR/ACR and you have a real pain in the ass.

Also, you toss a Proto ScR/CR/ACR and you have a real pain in the ass. So is the issue with ewar/tacnet then? Yes, passives are always running but with limited range and no wp for the intel kills. Active scans fit on any suit with an equipment slot, have improved range & can bank you some points. I expect that hotfix charlie is going to bring back the days of "you have been scanned" being burned into my tv. 300 ehp with a little heads up before you start taking fire is about as OP as a 1100 ehp with a hmg. One can plan how to attack before initiating but will fall quick, the other has no prewarning but can take sustained fire and return damage quite quickly. Running proto gear is not a cal scout specific issue.
It does have the issue that it shares those awesome scans with a team of fatties with 1100 ehp and HMGs. Yes , any scout can do it, but nowhere near as well. Not to mention it can do that at STD, 1 complex range amp and 2-3 scan at amps(again, the STD suit does this) can see any suit from up to 50 meters. Not to mention only one suit can hide without gimping itself(too badly) the rest are screwed.

Yes, but that actually goes into that I don't think scouts should be able to run rifles(excluding the sniper rifle) but that's a point for another day.

Of course people figured out all the perks and it has become FOTM, as everyone started whining more I just stopped using it. I have enough people hating me as a dropship pilot, don't need that greif.
Anyway I'm looking forward to the cal scout changes, and I'm looking forward to re fitting it and making two different roles. Just wanted to let you know there are some people who went cal scout before the hype and just love all things caldari, or shields work for their play style, we aren't all FOTM tryhards
I feel your pain, I stopped using my Gal soon after 1.8 and started using the GalMando.
I just started using the GalScout again.
