I think the blabla...
Im just kidding i just wanted your attention. I dont think A.Scanners are OP....
BUt on all serious business:
1-Active scanners are really cheap SP wise and they counter profile dampening pretty well.I think they should be a little bit more SP expensive since now that they are working they totally break the Dampening / scan war.
I understand that 1 equipment slot is punishment enough, but not for logis, which sadly, are about 40% of the merc population.
2-The COST of SP in order to be able to COUNTER a active scanner , is just way to big. Being the PROTO scouts the only ones being able to do this, WITH proto profile dampeners included. All to counter a quantum ADV scanner.
So either lower dampening skill cost , or increase the scanners SP cost.
3-EVEN if you DO have prof dameping LOW enough with your scout, its still pointless and here is why:
a) As soon as someone even blinks at you ,you are gonna be dead since you already wasted 2-3 of your miserable 5 slots on profile dampeners, and your scout EHP is laughable at the point that my Drop uplinks have more HP than me.
b) The message : Scan Prevented (or whatever it says) is more than enough to know the general location of a scout. SO >!?!>!!> WTH? whats the point if i can scan in the general area, even if it says Scan prevented and i dont know the exact location i can still spam flux/cores to flush enemies out, or a mass driver. Squad up and get in the objective , etc...? the fact is , knowing a scout is there is more than enough.
Thoughts?
My overall point is CCP should tweak the active scanner so its more effective scanning enemiy mid/heavy frames and vehicles but less effective at scanning scout suits, unless its proto and the scout DOES NOT Have a proto prof dampener. |

That seems like a good option , yup.
The problem is , im getting scanned by Quant ADV Active scanners with my Proto Minmatar with 1 Prof Damp... WTH?
The amount of SP i've spent in order to achieve my scan profile is at least 8 times the SP used by my enemy for the active scanner.(or in this case, a friend that helped me test the active scanners vs profile dampening) |

ignore all but 1 scanner.

same as above.
1 scanner is more than enough to get you killed:
As a scout that we ALREADY have profile dampening as skill bonus PLUS having invested and equipped profile dampener, we should have the edge.
At proto scout level with 1 proto profile dampener, Scouts shouls be undetected,even with proto active scanner.
i mean, its all we've got. |

i mean, its all we've got. Max skills, and 1 of any dampener makes a scout invisible to all but the very top (15 dB) scanner. In my opinion, that's alright. The number of people using it now is so small, that they deserve to scan me if they have it.
I really dont think they deserve to scan you,even with a proto scanner.
I mean if you are proto scout,with proto profile dampening yu shouldnt get scanned.
I mean thats your dropsuit BONUS for f***s sake...
BTw im going to give scouts a rest,doesnt matter i wont stop fighting for them. |

The ones that do are expensive.
If a scout throws on even one good profile dampener he's invisible to all except protos canners.
Exactly what im saying. PROTO SCANNERS SHOULDT be able to pick up proto scout with proto profile dampener... >.> |
