Knight Soiaire Taco Eating Ninja Monkeys 2967	Posted - 2013.11.03 15:13:00 - [1] - Quote I have Lvl 3 Profile Dampeners and try to run an Enhanced on any suit I use. Cooldown The cooldown for Active Scanners should be double the duration, who was the idiot who thought it would be a good idea to have a cooldown shorter than the Visibility Duration? Error Signs They should not display any error signs, this means remove the "No Margin of Error" , "Some Margin of Error" warnings. Scanning You shouldn't be able to move, and scan, you should be immobile for thos two seconds. I tried running a Minnie Med Frame with one Enhanced Profile Dampener, all I could see the whole match was; "You have been scanned" Its just a pain in the ass.

Broonfondle Majikthies Bannana Boat Corp 381	Posted - 2013.11.03 15:25:00 - [2] - Quote Yeah, you need an extra basic dampener if you want to evade most scanners. with only an enhanced your getting to a dp of about 37.6 and most scanners run the advanced with a precision of 36. 50 x 0.94= 47 47 x 0.8 = 37.6 If you add a basic there is a stacking penalty which I can't be bothered to work out but generously estimating you should be well under 36 "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!"
Mortedeamor WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL The Ascendancy 603	Posted - 2013.11.03 15:30:00 - [3] - Quote teamsight was better than scanners.. they should blow the range on hand helds as well standard should be like 50 adv 75 proto 100 increase the cooldowns as well and then bring back team sight as its in the lore and there are plenty of ****** apects of dust you ccp guys keep around just because of lore for example shields draining the power from your vehicles movement abilities more than armor plates scanners are nice and all but they should have been an addition to what we already had in team sight also no hand heald scanner should have a larger range than a vehicle scanner that is absurd and stupid vehicle scanners should have high range 200m for light vehicle (good for blaster hav) scanner 600for a heavy.(good for rail hav) .a heavy requiring extreme cpu. you should also add in stealth based sentinel suits..maybe a different racial sentinel? right now vehicle scann and stealth is stupid
Stefan Stahl Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 337	Posted - 2013.11.03 15:31:00 - [4] - Quote Unfortunately enhanced profile dampeners are completely useless. The only dampeners that have any practical use are complex dampeners. So either fit those or use the slot for something else. It's really quite stupid.

However, they shouldnt show where someone is moving, they should only provide a snapshot of where that person was during the scan. Also, the degree view of the scanner doesnt matter, as you can spin around and have a 360 degree scan because it scans everything at once while the animation plays out. Instead, have it only scan the area the line is passing though at that time. Another option would be to have a scanner replace a weapon slot, and allow it to be used without cooldown, but with some other major drawback. Or, do away with the handheld scanners and replace them with a deployable equipment that has a much smaller scan radius but would allow you to keep tabs on certain areas. Only one per person could be deployed at a time. Bittervet Proficiency V thanks logibro!

Adding a commander suit that acts as a comms hub or some form of destroyable communications deployable that enables team sight would be a nice compromise.

Scanning You shouldn't be able to move, and scan, you should be immobile for thos two seconds. The cooldown is less than the duration?... -_-" The whole error signs thing needs to go. It should just say "Scan complete", or if you stop part way through "Scan incomplete". I disagree with being unable to move, but I do think that they need to do something about 360 scanning by spinning. To fix they could: Allow full movement but only areas and objects that were in the scanner for the full time would be scanned Allow full movement but give reduced scan duration to anything that wasn't in the full time Allow movement but lock what direction they are facing, allowing them to evade fire but preventing 360 spin scanning

The Minmatar fit you described will take you below the scan precision of regular scanners. In other words, you're getting scanned by people who have dedicated at least the same amount of SP, and a greater amount of PG to sniffing you out. Get over it. I'm supposed to put something here?

The painting is either displaying after a short delay or they are not fully painted unless you aim at them for most of the cycle or a certain point in the cycle. I may have to do some testing on this to be sure.

These targets do, however, light up instantly when scanned, and are sniffed out long enough to be hunted down.

These targets do, however, light up instantly when scanned, and are sniffed out long enough to be hunted down. There seems to be some hidden minimum amount of time stat. If I l do a slow sweep of ~120 degrees, the targets stay for the full duration.
