this has been killing me (and foes ) for awhile and so far I haven't seen anyone avoid the Null cannons or installation - even the proto scouts!
so, just a small change with a major effect is to give Null cannons & installations a 44DB scan precision- that way light frames are no longer the scouts equal (UP equal) and any non-scout will have to equip dampeners to be stealthy.
scouts have been dying unfairly (especially PROFILE DAMPENED ones) because they've been scanned to the entire enemy team, unknowingly but impossible to avoid.
remember, when you first see lightning play in a open field!
from the non-existent mist!

40 dB. Otherwise light suits could just put a few points in Dampening.
Edit: But yes, Allow my scout to actually be stealthy around enemy objectives.

It's such a pain to not be able to be stealthy as a scout.

hadn't really thought of that, It would probably be better for 40DB to make scouts be able to sneak around objectives and have other suits need profile dampeners to get through undetected.

I know, been frustrating me after I noticed a few other scouts getting scanned (not blinking) while solo! and I can't count how many times a heavy, A HEAVY detects my scout just because of that!

I love this idea. It makes no sense that I have put so much effort into dampening my suit to avoid infantry only to be lit up on the map as soon as I get close to a null cannon. Besides, people will know I'm at the null cannon anyways as soon as it starts blinking on the mini map.
CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.

I definitely agree with this. Whatever it is now in terms of CRU / Null Cannon precision, it's downright ridiculous. |

I'm bumping this again. And maybe tone down the Blaster Installations for dampened suits?

sounds like a great topic . such as installations aiming systems rely on DB for a rough accuracy of where the foe is. with this it could be harder for them to detect dampened suits, but easier for undampened suits making stealth play more viable than staying out of LOS and active scanners.

Stealth FTW! give all installations/objectives 40DB precision!

good Ideas aren't arguable, so this thread might hide from CCPs eyes!

That will hopefully be fixed with the introduction of stealth, more outposts like the science labs, and this.

It would be nice to get cloaking CCP (hint)!

[EDIT] instead of 44DB, make it 40DB due to Kroms invisible insight revealed a major weakness in 44DB!

Bump and +1. The fact that your position is given away on the map, regardless of signature profile, every time you approach an enemy objective or installation doesn't make sense to me either. I agree that scouts and others sufficiently skilled and fitted for dampening should be able to avoid this and infiltrate enemy positions undetected. |

UPDATE: OK. According to the game designers this was intended behaviour. However they understand the lack of even notice of being scanned isn't quite balanced. So they are discussing on if they will remove this entirely or update its behaviour to be more balanced.
