I hope it does work. I got my advance suit...not that much of a difference. If they increased base scan range a few meters for the gal scout...then maybe it would be worth it... For me it makes a noticeable, but small, difference. The SP I've put into the sensor skills has not provided much bang for the buck with my suit radius only having a 10m scan range. But to me, situational awareness is key, and it's how I like to play as a scout. Low and slow in recon mode. Fast when spotted. The Gallente suit will always be my primary, even though the Minmatar seems more practical with it's better slot balance, and higher base shields. I've got profile dampening, scan precision and scan range all skilled to L5. Plus, may Gallente suit is skilled to L3. I run the dragonfly Gallente scout suit for 95% of my game time, only breaking out the more expensive ADV suit if I really need the extra advantage or I'm in a particularly aggressive mood. Module wise, my recon setup is just an enhanced range amplifer (+35% extra range), militia armor repper, and militia shield extender. That takes my base range with my skills to (10 base 1.5 range skill L5 1.3 scout skill L3 *1.35 module) = 26.3m. Even taking Gallente base scan precision to 12 or 15 meters would help IMMENSELY for my playstyle. N - we've played together. In the run and gun situation, with a lot of assaults around and enemies showing up on radar because others are getting line of sight on them, the scan skills are just wasted SP. I'd be better served using that 3M SP or whatever on my weapon skills (of which I have none). However, when I'm in recon mode it's easier to see people approaching me when I'm hacking than it was a few months ago, and playing cat and mouse is easier with the better range as I can 'see' people through walls, installations, etc.... they have to be close though. Like closer than 15M - 18M or so if I am not running my recon suit..... which I don't run too often because I prefer to have an armor repper and a kin/cat (or) stamina mod in my low slots.

To compete with a scout suit you'd need to only put one module on for scan precision since the base logi scan precision is 50 v.s. 45 for the scout. You only need a 10% decrease there to bring yourself into line. You'll need 1 complex range extender to get (close enough) to the scan range of the gallente scout suit (with it's 50% racial bonus). Another one (or two) for the profile dampening to overcome the scout suit profile dampening plus suit bonus. Now, do you want to also run as fast as a scout? You'll need 2-3 kin/cats for that. Say 2. Do you also want to approach scout endurance? You'll need a stamina module. Now you've used 4/5 low slots (of which you have 4?) and 1 high. Still, all around - the logi suit is hard to beat. I almost decided to make a logi/scout....
