Prevents people from abusing the thing by doing a 360 while using it. Also, instead of just getting a "you've been scanned" notification, have it mark the scanner to whoever was hit by the scan pulse. If you mark someone, you yourself are marked. Possibly add a variant that's weaker, but doesn't reveal you to the enemy.
With these two changes, I think the Active Scanner would be less overused while still being an effective tool for finding the enemy. No more 360-degree turns to reveal everything nearby, and no more spamming it without consequences.
except the active scanner is designed to do just that, ITS DESIGN NO SCAN THE ENTIRE AREA TO LOCATE BIOMETRIC SIGNALS EMITTED BY ENEMY DROPSUITS, EQUIPMENT, VEHICLES, AND INSTILLATIONS.
you cant complain about people using their equipment as it was intended.
and why should it give away your position, its for your intel not the enemy, thats why its a personal handheld scanning device.
and there are major consequences such as not being able to defend yourself.

Your entire team gets intel of all scanned enemies, but the scanned enemies only get intel on you. Taking one for the team, per se. Also, unless the enemy is observant, they might not even notice you.
once again it is used for avoidance and manuevering to find a better way to engage the enemy and that entire purpose is negated if it gives away your position
idk about you but if i get scanned the first thing i do is look around to maybe catch them when they think im not looking

However, it would be hilarious for a single red to come get their revenge and find me...and the squad I'm always running with. However, it would be just another red flag on the logi. I'm already jumping around like a flea while healing my crew.
Generally, I've learned to keep my scanning to some minimum in usually 180 degrees because its what my team ultimately really needs. flank, front, flank, in the direction we're moving, so I think that's a legitimate restriction. However, now when I see the 'you have been scanned' message, I tend to scan back out of spite. "Fine!! I'll scan you BACK!!"
i could put up with that too because im mostly a tanker (30mil sp) but also a logi and a heavy (about 5mil sp)
