Drone Scope Chip, stacking penalized?

Just a simple question, been messing around in Pyfa and noticed that when I slap on a single Large Drone Scope Chip (after 3 T2 Omnidirectional Tracking Links) on a mission Dominix, it increases the optimal range by a massive 11.8km (78.2 to 90km) which would imply that it is not stacking penalized?

I can't test this out in-game so if someone knows/ can test it for me that would be much appreciated.

I still prefer EFT over Pyfa and it's telling me that the increase is in fact stacked and only just over 81km total. Unfortunately I don't have a Domi laying around in game to just throw away Rigs to toss another on for an in game test, and I do find that EFT is pretty darn accurate.

I put it in eft and did not see the same result.

Nor did I see it in pyfa.

What drone are you using?

I'm using Garde II drones, with the latest edition of pyfa. It doesn't say so in the description of the rig as most stacking penalized modules do. The rig I used was a T1 Large Drone Scope Chip.

That pretty much settles it, Pyfa must have rounded it up to 90km, thanks for the answer. Unless I'm missing something I guess EFT is wrong, someone should post it in the EFT thread.

That's some pretty insane projection though, 760 dps to 90km optimal is some of the best projection in the entire game, and with the tracking bonus and Garde IIs inherently good tracking means it also has the best large weapon tracking too!

Yes you can get sentry drone ranges way out there, but a big issue is getting a target lock. Unless you just let the drones pick there targets.....

domi can target 90k with LR targeting 5 easily.

Actually Domi caps out at 87.5km with all V skills, which is still right at the tip of 90km, but a SEBO brings that up to 140km max range or 114km with a nice boost to scan resolution. However for missions unless you're using an MJD that range is overkill so it's usually better to run a target painter.

to fit the domi like that you are wasting too many slots for it to be effective on its own. The only point is to either semi afk with a MJD or assist another character (seems like a very nice support boat).

You mean with 3 Omnis and a Scope Chip? Not really, the fit I planned has enough tank for L4s on it's own, it doesn't have an MJD but it can fit a prop if needed and still maintains 3 DDAs, the 3 Omnis, a Scope Chip and a utility mid (for painter/sebo/eccm/more cap/etc)
