Boom! Using an active scanner temporarily multiplies your suits Signature Radius
Using an active scanner should temporarily multiply your suits Signature Radius (after damps). The multiplier would generally depend on the type of scanner (higher meta => lower multiplier) and slowly return to it's original value after a few seconds (could be based on the type of scanner aswell)
This would make the scanning merc more likely to show up on the enemies passive sensor and thus limit the scanners use for sneaking unless your suit/fit can prevent this.
Scanners are for scouts, not logis*
The actual values should be set up in such a way that Scouts, and to some extent lights in general, can still genrally avoid detection while using the active scanner, especially when having damps fitted.
Mediums and Heavies on the other hand would be detected from rather long ranges (higher SigRad=> increased duration/distance) so that using a scanner puts them at an inherent risk of losing the element of surprise and getting primaried.
An additional role bonus for scouts could be added that reduces the SigRad modifier if base SigRad differences are not large enough to make this work.
Where is the love (for scouts)?
This should improve the Scouts viability as the dedicated reconnaissance and ambush class as only he can detect the enemy without being regularly detected himself and disincentivices other classes from stepping in this role or at least forces them to sacrifice lows for multiple damps in the process.

This sounds decent, and would make sense that broadcasting all that radiation to detect other players would cause you to get noticed by suit sensors.
Logistics could still use this, but as part of a pack instead of solo. Would improve socializing for them.

Add a 10% buff to HP rep rate/HP revived when logis use repair tools and nanite injectors, and a 10% debuff when other classes use them, and we'll talk. |
