Make it so you aren't really visible when they just "tag" you, but can still kinda see you. However, if they scan you and other people for say 5 seconds, they become as visible as they are now. Also, how bright people show up will be determined on how low/high their dB level is, but this shouldn't stop people who are aware of things.

More or less. It would encourage...well not spinning as much.

It would seem scanners would be good at it.

That's good enough a reason to speed tank to me.

If it's scans for a radius of 60m, it can ONLY provide a scan for a total of 60 meters, meaning that once you turn it on, you have to stand still so it can scan that 60 meters and if you turn at a the scan is no good.
Nah.

I know that would work too, but it wouldn't make sense to me. That's all I have against it.

I like the idea of your signature impacting the way you show up during scans. What I'd like to see is for the scan to fade more quickly the closer the signature is to the scan precision. So if you get your scout suit down to 18 dB and someone brings out a 15 dB scanner, you still benefit from having a lower signature because you won't stay on the radar as long as someone with a 55 dB signature. This would have to balance against making the scanner useful, so I'd say you can only get it down to something like 40% of the max time, with that going to 100% at maybe 1.5 times the scanner's precision, i.e., a 30 dB scanner would detect everything above 45 dB for the max time, a player at 40 dB for roughly 80% of the max time, and a player at 30 dB for 40% of the max time, but would not detect a player at 29 dB at all. This would also make the higher-precision scanners more useful since they could maximize tracking time for low-sig objects.
This. I would love for my 2 enhanced dampeners being better than my 1 enhanced and basic dampener fitting.

This will also fix the scan spam because almost no one will use them :D
No. It would still be useful for pointing out enemy locations like say, if there's a giant fight like most games have. However, that sneaky and fast scout will be able to skillfully bypass your scanner. It would be up to you if you want to scan him, or scan the rest of the enemy team.
