Keri Starlight 0uter.Heaven Proficiency V. 1840	Posted - 2013.11.07 10:26:00 - [1] - Quote I read many threads about Active Scanners being OP, but then I just realized something: Active Scanners didn't change in 1.4, except for the fact that the people you scan is orange instead of red (and then WP for scanning were introduced, I don't know if you want to count this into). I've been a Scanner user since Uprising 1.1. The only reason why they are much more useful now is because our Tacnet has been made almost useless. Before 1.4, just few people used the Scanner because of the very high reliability of our Tacnet. So the point is: can't we find a decent balance between the Tacnet and Active Scanning? I feel like the problem is the Tacnet being UP rather than Scanners being OP. -Caldari Achura - One with the Universe -Tac AR Specialist "I load my gun with love instead of bullets"
shaman oga Nexus Balusa Horizon 889	Posted - 2013.11.07 10:39:00 - [2] - Quote Scanners should NOT: Display target direction Give margin of error message if scanning a dampened target Tacnet (on scanned enemies) should provide: Class info (heavy, medium, light frame) It would be fine for me "Just another piece of duct tape" Equality Event

It's very dumb that it does. -Caldari Achura - One with the Universe -Tac AR Specialist "I load my gun with love instead of bullets"

Also give it more scan precision for cheaper skill costs. Agree with margin of error notification having to go. We need modules which share TACNET vision. I'd love to run a precision enhancer and range amplifier logibro if I could share vision with the team. I'd be a walking scanner, basically. And can we get upgraded minimaps in vehicle first person mode? Maybe the scale should be larger, so we an idea of bigger picture. Combine this with an longer ranges on vehicle scanners, and we'll start seeing some interesting vehicle usage.

Garth Mandra The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 198	Posted - 2013.11.07 11:38:00 - [5] - Quote I want passive scans shared. Not the visual detection just the ~10m dropsuit scanning. That way scouts get a bit of a buff and fitting scan mods to any suit becomes a valid tactic instead of a waste of space. Active scanners need some work too.

I feel like the problem is the Tacnet being UP rather than Scanners being OP. I haven't been playing as long but I had a problem with the Tacnet as well and I though it was just me . I didn't want to say anything because I haven't been playing that long and I'm STILL learning the physics of the game . But thank you for this piece because now I know . No knock against the scanners because I like them and need to get specked in them . I just have the Aurum one that's offered to begin with . " Doubts are like flies and should be crushed !!!!!! " I hope that I am THE FLY SWATTER of those in my presence .

I'd be a walking scanner, basically. we need a spotting system based off of scan precision. remember, when you first see lightning play in a open field! from the non-existent mist! forum warrior lvl: pathetic!

Active scanners need some work too. I think that scouts only should have the shared passive scan. It would help them fulfill their role better, plus I would slap on wps for squad members killing passive scanned targets. Also, any enemy in a scouts cross hair's should show up for the squad as well. This would encourage people to play as scouts, as well as give them a defined use on the battlefield.
