With a ship dedicated to aerial support and target location, I would like to see this view propagate across the whole team.
Infantry with hand scanners can stay squad only, but vehicles in an AWAC and support role... I'd like to see that be team-vision.
I agree with this. A dropship to run scanners is very expensive to skill into in SP and cost over 1 million isk. By running the scanner my ship is significantly weaker. The risk should be balanced against the rewards. I don't think team vision on dropship scanners would be OP. Yes it's like a red bulb only christmas tree when I turn that baby on, but the risk I take to do it...##
So team vision for a DS scanner sounds balanced to me. ESPECIALLY since the scanned targets only light up when I am there, NOT once i leave unlike the handheld scanners. |

Please do. I think it would be balanced. However the WP thing needs real care. With a 5 second cooldown I can scan and scan and scan. I have not given this thought but idea #1
#1 - Once you scan someone you get 5WP BUT until they die you get nothing for scanning them again. So 5wp per life per scan. 5wp 1 wp whatever seems balanced by testing average deaths against the number of scans.

Simple boolean property on the class would do it using the same procedure that assigns Assist values. So in the same way the game tracks assists it only needs to track a scan as if it is a bullet strike.
I you die and I scanned you I get WP.
I get nothing if i didn't scan you. Just like an assist.
You only need a boolean, Int ID or Str to track if it was me that scanned you and if have you died since that scan |

The fact that he wasn't firing was obviously for the sake of making the video as opposed to implying that ADS pilots should just sit there with a scanner on. That's the difference between an LAV scanner and the DS scanner ... with the DS, he can also be killing things, quickly move 4x people, and prompt the other team to switch to AV so his infantry can kill them on the ground.
This.
I found a match where there we no other scanners and that had structures blocking line of sight to show how it works and looks. Demonstration only. I would have been killing the hell out of them if I wasn't doing the video while scanning them at the same time. Imagine the panic on 8 reds faces when that "YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED" message popped up and missiles start falling from the sky at the same time the blues on their radar all turn and head toward them. |

you have never fought me and my pilot and tank buddies or you would not have typed that. Condor squad and the tanks from We are Legends would like a word. |

Thank you.
