Every suit has a Scan Profile that's based on the Frame Size (Light/Scout = 45, Medium/Assault/Logi = 50, Heavy/Sentinel = 65... I think... not at my PS3 right now).
Every suit ALSO has a Scan Precision rating which changes based on the suit type. The lower this number is, the better - your Precision needs to be lower than the target's Profile to light them up. Assault have a Precision of 55 - without training up the relevant skills, or fitting Precision Enchancer modules, YOU CAN'T PICK UP ANOTHER ASSAULT SUIT.
A Logi suit's Precision is, at its base, 50. If you skill into Dampening, and they skill equally into Precision, you'll remain visible to them. If they fit a Precision Enhancer on top of the passive bonus, they have a decent chance of spotting a Scout with low SP investment.
On top of all that, players share target info with teammates, so if someone on the other team can see you, then you'll be lit up for the guy you're sneaking up on as well.
Moral of the story: even Scouts aren't invisible, be careful. |

Nope.
No change when sprinting. Confirmed by in-game testing and devs. |

Just reminded me... so do Uplinks... |

And I really doubt you can see a drop uplink when there's four walls surrounding it, which has been the case sometimes.
Militia Light Frame suit still has a much lower Scan Precision than your dampened non-Light Profile.
If another enemy can see you, then you'll be marked for the entire enemy team, including the guy you're sneaking up on.
The tier of suit doesn't affect your scanning capabilities as much as the modules and skills you back it up with.
Uplinks light up really obviously and show on the minimap almost anywhere on the map. And my comment about Uplinks was that they have built-in scanners, if you're close to an enemy Uplink, you light up so they can see you. |

If I'm on your team and standing anywhere within about 50m of the guy you light up, I'll see him lit up as well. |

No amount of dampeners will help. If someone can see you(they don't necessarily have to llok straight at you), then the whole friggin team can see you.
At a certain distance (it's definitely more than 100m, but not sure of the exact range), you will only light up if the enemy has you in their crosshairs |
