And how does that make passive scanning on the Scout a way to provide intel you your teamates?
I've said this before and I'll stay it again. Basic Light Frame suits need a 15m base scan radius. Scout Suit should make enemies in passive scan range light up on TACNET for teammates.
If those two things happen, Light suits in general, and Scout suits in particular, will be MUCH more viable. Combine them with passive scanning that ACTUALLY WORKS CONSISTENTLY, and it'll be awesome. For now, passive scanning doesn't always work on enemies outside your vision arc (at which point it's practically useless because YOU CAN SEE THEM ANYWAY). Passive scanners NEED to be 360 arc, or they're useless for a Light suit. Even if they make the 15m range AND 360 detection arc exclusive bonuses to the Light Frame suits, then Scouts get the addition of sharing data, that would work. |

Except that they're NOT marked by an Active Scanner unless you use one, so you'll still get WP when using it, and Active Scanners still have much better range than the best you can buff your passives to on the Scout suit. They also have better scan precision than you can get if you focus madly on buffing your scan radius to try and come close to matching the Active Scanner's detection range.

And the problem with a SCOUT working effectively as a SCOUT comes in... how, exactly?
Quote:And lastly, having shared vision by scouts means that scouts vision will be limited, I'd rather have no shared vision but give us a much greater range of vision and we can communicate that to others.
uhhhh... what? I'm suggesting expanded vision, but not to the point where it negates the purpose of using an Active Scanner for anything but WP farming. |

Both which barely work, im talking about a passive abilty exclusive to scouts that work as an active scanner, but passive. Edit: That works for your squad/team beside that, if you dont want to die in 0.5s then scouts dont have the slots to fit them
I'm pretty sure MY Scout suit doesn't need slots in order to "fit" the passive skill bonuses from the two skills mentioned. 
Assert's point still stands, of course. |
