Profile dampeners and precision enhancers are usefulish now.

a proto scanner can find anything. no matter how many dampeners you got.

Precision enhancers don't affect active scanning (with scanners), just passive scanning (from your dropsuit). So don't bother, unless you have SP to spare!

The 15dB can find anything. You can hide from the 26dB if you are a scout.

So today i got on to test out 1.4 since yesterday everything fu**ed up, i realized that in every match i joined i was being "scanned". I was curious if anyone else experiences this because back in the days (1.3) the actve scanner was rarely used. i use them aswell.they are very handy when you cant find someone to "kill". plus very usefull in squads

If I may make a recommendation. If you want to get the most out of your scans to help your squad, equip two A-45 Quantum Scanner (requires level 3 skills) to a logistics' suit. The Scanner has a paint time of 16 seconds for targets with scan profile of 35db or above. Most people you'll encounter (at the moment) won't go below that. As each scanner requires a recharge time after use, you can flip to the other scanner to pulse another direction while the other scanner recharges. This will effectively allow you to keep lighting up targets without delay.

I love how even with scanning now Scouts are being effed over. Thanks CCP : )

I'm still not sure whether I like the scanner. Sure, it's great when you see enemies light up like a christmas tree, but I'm afraid that a) it's blowing my stealth, and b) it makes my enemies more aware.

You can see enemies change behaviour once they know they're being scanned, and I like them to be unaware. That makes it easier to flank.

With the patch and the tac net nerf the active scanner is kinda OP. Trade off with a squad mate for regular scanning and use it as a way to point out targets to the squad and team (if it shows them to the team.)
Had a skirmish game today where I saw three enemies heading for the point and which way they were facing. Just went around the corner and flanked them. When they noticed me I pulled back, scanned and flanked them again.
After they fix the shotgun I am testing this for a ninja fit.

when im not running scout i use the elm laser rifle and stay away from enemies but when i get scanned i dont worry much because the klo spistol does the job,unless the other guy has a sr or a md
