The fact that a rail rifle is used is just annoying, I know you said you wanted the suit to not be OP but having a rail rifle on a scout used to be effective, a 0.6 charge time and crazy Hipfire is not what a scout should be using at all. I'd say the ARR is the only thing closest and racially correct to put on it however that is definetely still subpar when compared to the shotgun, combat rifle and scrambler rifle used on the other APEX scouts. My proposal? Give it the Assault Rifle, it's a average weapon and is actually racially correct as both caldari and Gallente use hybrid weapons.
Scout does not mean 'close in.' Rail rifle is a perfectly legitimate weapon, especially on a suit that can hold open the range (being innately fast) and can detect things close up (passives) and far away for targeting (active scanner.)

Either the basic active scanner gets a buff to scan things at 40 Db or just remove it, it's useless, especially on a scout with the highest scan range and 2 prescion mods. Again I know the suits are not meant to be OP but the cal scout is by far the weakest of all the APEX suits. Just give it the AR and a better secondary equipment (even hives) or buff the basic active scanner as to where I can actually pick up enemies.
I can't remember off the top of my head, but the Sentinel has a minimum of 55db base profile. With dampening five, this drops to 49.5db: still detected by a STD AS. Now, if they fit a module they'll dodge (assuming base 55, though aren't they 60 base?) but that's not unreasonable: they have a maxed skill and a module.
As far as uselessness is concerned, it's picking up undampened Assaults, Logistics, Commandos and Sentinels from up to 100m away: even with range amplification five, your passive range is around 50m, unless you also have Caldari Scout five.
Base 20 * 1.5 (Range Amp 5) * 1.5 (CalScout 5) * 1.25 (1st RA) * 1.21725 (2nd RA at 86.9% efficacy) = 68.47m passive.
So the AS is not useless.And that's without mentioning squad/team sharing as well as maintaining the scan while you move away.
