My fellow Caldari Scouts, please read this thread I posted in the Technical Support/Bugs section.
I have tested it multiple times and proved that our new "Caldari Scout Range Bonus" is not working.
We need to hound CCP to fix this or nothing will be done about it.

Not: 20m (Scout Base Scan range) x 150% (Range Amplification Skill) = 30m x 150% (Caldari Scout Range Bonus) = 45m x 145% (Single Complex Range amp, no stacking penalty) = 65.25m x 139% (Second Complex Range amp with 1st level stacking penalty) = 90.7m. If you would add each lvl of Range Amplification Skill it will give you much higer number.. :/ 20m +10%(for lvl1) = 22+10% = 24.2 +10% = 26.42 +10%= 29.062+10%= 31.9682 See, that is why we collect all % numbers first, like this: 20+184%=56.8 Maybe you're right, doesn't take away that it's not working though
He is not right Jack.
As far as I know the math I listed is how the skills add up. Even Protofits.com agrees with my math as you can see in this screenshoot I took with a Cal CK.0 and two range amps.

Protofits.com clearly shows the Cal Ck.0 with LVL 5 Cal Scout and LVL 5 Range Amplification should have a base scan radius of 45m and with two complex range amps, the Cal Scout should scan out to 90.77m.
My math is correct and my point is correct also, the Caldari Scout Range Bonus is not applying in game.

Bump for visibility. Still waiting on response from CCP.

Rejoice fellow Cal scouts, CCP Logibro has found the issue and they will be fixing it.
My thanks goes to him for quickly figuring out the what the problem was.

Caldari Scout range bonus is not working Non-bump (even though I'm bumping it) :/ You're hitbox is insanely small. You strafe just right and you are invincible. The only thing I've noticed that has had a great effect against a strafey cal scout is a mass driver. Your hitbox is the only damn bonus you need. Be happy. Don't be greedy.
I use cal scout/gal scout with ScR, CR, AR, and amarr commando ScR and basic sentinels with hmgs. I have zero problem killing cal scouts. You should get good.

I use cal scout/gal scout with ScR, CR, AR, and amarr commando ScR and basic sentinels with hmgs. I have zero problem killing cal scouts. You should get good. I am just saying... The most effective way I have found to kill a cal scout is with a mass driver. Cal scouts have a brown hit box (duh, I know) "zero problem" killing cal scouts. Idk why this bugs me but I just have to say you're clearly lying. You might... MIGHT have ONE problem killing them. Maybe, idk... You may really have no problem killing them and you're just the best damn guy to ever play Dust 514.
I think the biggest problem is people try to use anti armor weapons to kill cal scouts. If you use a ScR or AR a cal scout will melt.
Also, personally I find my Gal scout is much more survivable than my Cal scout but that could just be me. Either way I don't notice any difference in the difficulty to kill a cal scout versus any other scout regardless of what weapon or suit I am using. The whole idea that cal scouts are harder to kill is BS from my point of view.
And the whole hit box/broken hit detection rumors scout the cal scout have been disproved.
