He was demonstrating by just hovering there, but what you can also do is keeping it running while you fire at targets below you, so you're providing both air cover and intel on enemy positions at the same time.

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. Honestly, I'd think vehicle scanners should do team-sight as well. I can see why they limited infantry scanners, especially with how they highlight enemies for a long period after the scan, but for something like this that is so range dependent, I'd like to see it benefit the team as a whole.

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. If I scan you then same code that assigns a bullet strike so i get an assist assigns the same value. Only on death a sub Proc assigns me 5 not 25 wp. 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 When we implemented C3 (Shared radar vision in Battletech) in MechWarrior Living Legends, we had the C3 equipped mech gain a very small amount of c-bills for giving visibility of targets, and a somewhat larger amount for damage done to enemies within that scan range, as you were indirectly assisting those players on your team. Say that the scanner gives you 1 WP for each unique target scanned, and then gives you 2 WP when a target that you scanned is killed. These amounts are small enough not to make running a scanner into some kind of farming method, but still reward the player for filling that role.
