What are all those top-tier Logis doing with positive K/D? They're meant to be providing ammo, repairs and revives, not killing.
What are all those Heavies doing getting kills? They're just meant to soak damage and let the Assault/DPS class do all the killing.
What's that Assault suit doing with a Nanohive? He shouldn't be getting points for a Logi's job!
What's that Logi doing with a Scanner? That's a Scout's job!
NO.
A Scout Dropsuit shouldn't have to be ONLY for scouting and nothing else (especially when a Logi does the job better now that we can't share targeting info without an Active Scanner), any more than the other suits have to exclusively built around a single role and do nothing else.
That said, the Shotgun problem isn't only a problem for Scouts, it's known by CCP and is being hotfixed in about 24 hours. So... look forward to that? I know I do. |

I thought you light up on the minimap when you use a scanner?
It increases your profile, but if you've dampened that enough, or you're far enough away, you don't light up. |

If your scan profile is high enough that the enemy can see you on their passive scanners without you needing to use the Active Scanner, it doesn't matter, and they'll see you any time you're in range (unless passive scanning is being glitchy like it often does).
If it's low enough that it's still below their scan precision after the increase when you trigger the Active Scanner, it also doesn't matter.
The only time you'll light up because of the Active Scanner is when you're close enough to be inside their scan range, AND your profile is low enough to slip through their detection, but high enough that the Scanner pushes you above their precision rating.
If you light up, they get a marker on the sensor display, and a chevron if you're in their field of view.
EDIT: Obviously, if they can see you, scanning stats don't matter, and they can light you up that way. If you're out in the open and see "you have been scanned", a quick spin will usually light up the culprit. |
