Grappling hook and jetpack would be awesome but unrealistic to implement anytime remotely soon. I'm sort of thinking the cloaking should be a scout exclusive feature as well that is built into all scout suits instead of an equipment like is currently planned, because then the assaults and logis will use the cloak even better than the scout no doubt.
Also in regards to the active scanner, a scout really shouldn't be required to carry one in order to tell what is around him. The scouts passive scanning should be so good that a scanner becomes slightly redundant unless looking to scan at long range. Looking at the following image,

Currently scouts passive scanning is 10 meters, or half way within the first circle. That is absolutely useless. Even with the proto Gal scout and level 5 range amplification, it only moves up to 20 meters, or the first circle, still not really useful. I scout should easily be able to scan everything within the first tick (35 meters) without the assistance of a scanner or modules. With modules, the scout should be able to read the second circle (70 meters) but it shouldn't require the scout to dedicate all his low slots for this purpose. And the active scanner wouldn't be completely redundant, as it would still be the only way to share this information with your squad and non-scouts could use it.
Another problem is that if you pass by the enemy's screen, even if he doesn't see you, the game thinks he saw you and puts you on his radar irregardless of passive scanning range and scan precision. This needs to change ASAP. |

Example, at level 5, a scout has 25% default profile damp? with this Scanner Jammer it becomes %75 = 25 Scan Profile
Add this and you have a deal XD (main reason i stopped being a scout is how easy it is to counter them wth the SP friendly, Isk friendly Active scanners,that everyone and their mothers equip...) I like this. Though, if we made Active Scanners part of the -scout only- equipment category, suddenly way fewer people are capable of using them and the role of the scout AS a scout becomes far more important.
Again, I just don't believe a scout should be required to carry an active scanner to actually scout enemy locations. The passive scan should be enough for the scout, while the active scanner is still the only way to share that intel with your squad. |
