I like where it is now.
Those with precision, or a Gal Logi with a focused scanner, force scouts to give up tank, speed, range etc in order to dampen enough to be tacnet invisible. And even then, all but Gal scout have to be cloaked at the time, otherwise they will still show up. Waves of opportunity and all.
You also have to remember scouts invest a TON of SP in order to be able to do these things. They have to max their dampening skills, go at least lvl 4 on a scout race in order to adequately fit a cloak, THEN put SP in cloaks all the way to lvl 5 because the proto cloak is the only one that has a significant enough bonus to dampening to be worth it.
Being able to pick someone up on tacnet is always a greater advantage than simply being invisible on tacnet, which is why scouts should be able to, given significant sacrifice, beat scanners.

just numbers i pulled out my ass
I think scouts making maximum sacrifice should be able to beat scanners while with a proto cloak, as they do now (13 is too low, 14 is where Gal Logi with focus scanner is now).
That being said, I kind of like the idea of a dB range on a scanner. This would punish less dampened scouts without really being a burden to heavies and mediums who are already showing up on scout shared passive scans.

I would argue that deception always outpaces detection of deception (I can support with evidence if you like). I think the investment to remain undetectable is probably a little low right now, but 360 permascans make running an EWAR scout a completely untenable position. A piece of equipment shouldn't relegate an entire play style to the trash heap. I say this as someone who most frequently runs a gal scout and gal logi. -Aramis
In what way is the investment to remain undetectable low?
