I'll see if I can convince CCP Wolfman on letting scanner results go team wide or if its feasible when they implement wp rewards for it. However with 1.5 around the corner this role may be removed albeit temporarily at best so it may be a good time to get a shoe in on the subject before its reintroduced.

I feel 5 WP for scanning an enemy, and only an enemy sounds like a good enough reward. Then 10 WP if someone on their team kills a scanned enemy. Now, if there's 3 huddled around a corner, that's a possible total 45 WP for scanning those 3 and teammates killing them.

I was thinking more about scanning a guy and then if he gets killed you get the assist. Just plain scanning is open to quite a few abuses. As for once per life thing not sure how much more of a bandwidth load that would be over the temporary one's we have currently.

Seems like it would take a long time to abuse it. Dunno how it would be worth the effort.
