As of now, I've started hype over scanning and we really need the hype so that the world of scanning is actually given thought. Based on the infamous Wolfman scanning leak of course.
Right now, dropsuits are the only items in the game given official profile statistics. Yet it is not the only one affected by them. HAVs, Dropships, and LAVs all have a profile. Same with equipment. On top of the vehicles, there is a vehicle scanning module but that does not have statistics either last time I checked.
So it's nice that dropsuit profile has a stat but I'd like to see nanohives, uplinks, and remote explosives given profile statistics as well, because you are only as invisible as the piece of equipment you are hanging around. Perhaps introduce Scout variant equipment, which have lower scan profiles.
Now including the vehicles and equipment into the scanning world would open up Scouts into entirely different areas. As of now we have the Scout LAV but that has no Profiles specs nor any reference to its profile but it seems like a vehicle labeled scout would be centric around detection. There was a time where Black Ops HAVs existed and it really isn't a bad idea.
Also let us not forget the Dev Blog that talked about Recon Dropships, which have 20% Boost to Sensor Dampener Range and Sight Range per level. You've already come up with the concepts, this is nothing new, and I surely hope that you have already begun on this project.
This game right now is Weapons Weapons Weapons. Please open up the scanning world. Add modules, give numbers to properties, make scanning a viable option. |

the prometheus is already out, its the logistics dropship.
So you are saying that the Force Recon Dropship should not exist? |

im saying i think CCP gave up on that idea a year ago.
regardless, the concept is still there. I think personally they should revive it. It would make LAVs super fly |

OK now that TACNET has been nerfed, please give us more information or things that revolve around Profile/scanning |

Thank you. It would be some help if devs just splurged and released everything scan related!
