Perhaps for as long as you are on somebody's scanner, there is an icon of a little radar dish pulsing in the middle of - or next to - your minimap. Notably pulsing, not flashing. Nobody likes flashing.
Any other/better ideas?
How about having it appear in the corner with the other messages (make it a different color so it is more easily noticed) as well as add a short ping when you are scanned. |

Likewise, why should the enemy that skilled into getting a heads up get a heads up that I've skilled into not giving them a heads up?

And at the same time ruin the equipment for scouts. What's the point of a having a stealthy character if to do my job, I have to tell every enemy where I am?
The minimap fizzle that Halador suggested is subtle enough to fair counter-balance. |

Defeats the purpose of trying to beat the scanner if the person still knows you're there. I agree, with the high-range lvl 1 flux scanner, you can pretty much pinpoint where someone is, just because you know SOMEONE is in the beam's reach. I thought that was kinda the point? It annoys me that only logis can use a scanner combo to effectively locate hidden targets.
Last I checked the scanner was for finding enemies that fail to prevent your scan, not used to pinpoint enemy locations who prevent your scan using multiple scans.

It'd just be nice if there were more 'techniques' you could use to get the most out of a scanner besides being a ballerina.
Honestly, that needs to be prevented somehow. Maybe make it so targets are only revealed once the scan is complete in the direction the scanner is currently pointing at?

Perhaps a ratio between scan strength and the victims precision - if precision is high enough, they know they had been scanned. Likewise if dampening is far, far better than the scanner strength, the user gets 'no margin of error'?
Wouldn't work unfortunately. Scan precision is incredibly difficult to get down. I'm not even sure if you can get precision below the normal proto scan levels. |
