The close/med/far range implementation had a huge impact on scouts:

1. Everyone can see a scout in close range by default.
An undampened scout can be scanned by any other dropsuit within 3m-5m. This effectively forces a scout to dampen below the 20db threshold so that they won't be detected while hacking cloaked.

2. If scouts are dampened, then that doesn't leave enough/any high slots for range amps.
Scouts are squishy, and if they're going to try to move in a concealed way, then they need information about where potential enemies might be able to spot them, so that they can avoid being blapped in one or two shots. If you're dampening and range amplifying, then you certainly don't have room to armor tank, so if you're hit then you'll be dead before you know it. Scouts need scan range to play their role well.

3. close/med/far scan range nerfed the scout's default scan range too much.
Scan precision between 10m-20m was nerfed, effectively halving the default scan range for the scan precision of scouts.

I would recommend the following adjustments:

Change default scout range from 4/10/20 to 4/15/20.

Change default scan precision so that scouts can afford to dampen + use range amps:

- Light Frames:

Scout: Close/Medium/Far = 20/40/52 --> 27.5/40/52

Basic: Close/Medium/Far = 20/40/52 --> 27.5/40/52

- Medium Frames:

Logistics: Close/Medium/Far = 22.5/45/58.5 --> 30/45/58.5

Assault: Close/Medium/Far = 22.5/45/58.5 --> 30/45/58.5

Basic: Close/Medium/Far = 22.5/45/58.5 --> 30/45/58.5

- Heavy Frames:

Commando: Close/Medium/Far = 27.5/55/71.5 --> 35/55/71.5

Sentinel: Close/Medium/Far = 25/50/65 --> 32.5/50/65

Basic: Close/Medium/Far = 25/50/65 --> 32.5/50/65
