There are some changes to active scanners in the works, but nothing ready to share yet.

You know having a enemy random do a 360 on the battlefield for 3 seconds isn't always a bad thing. It lights them up on the map if you looking at the map screen. If your around the corner you can see the flash and have enough time to run up and kill them before they can put the scanner down. You run a profile damp and you miss a majority of the scans. Seriously how is the 360 scan a bad thing so easy to counter.

2. The whole Dampener fit argument is flawed. I primarily play PC, and most players run proto scans. There is no way I am ever going to sacrifice two of my highs to be undetected. I would just lose too much shield or tank .
crutch.

Dampeners are low slot modules.

You sure...

Anyways it makes no difference, because lows are still very important to tanking

Yeah, dampeners are Low Slot modules, which makes it difficult for Minmatar Mediums to get under even the ADV Scanner.

They are receiving a buff to scanner range but that's it - the precision buff is relative only to passive suit scan (not active)

It is a huge issue. Essentially you are letting scanners scan an area over 30000m2 when they are built to scan an area of 4000m2 to 8000m2. It's hard to run up and kill him when he's 100m away. You cannot get through a squad to kill the scanner, and you can't see them on the map unless they are out in the open.

You kill passive scanning when you allow scanners to spin and perma scan. Passive scanning should be the 360 scanner because it's range is limited and does not relay info to squad. Plus passive is skill/mod heavy and is not as strong as active scanners meaning you can get under them easier.

These are the only real changes needed to scan mechanics:

1) You shouldn't be able to put away your scanner mid-scan - this is how it is currently as of 1.7, so that's good.

2) Remove the scan complete message, and the margin of error messages. You shouldn't know whether your scan got everyone, and you know your scan is complete since your scanner shuts off (duh).

3) Remove the "You Have Been Scanned" message. Instead, both you and the teammates within your minimap radius should "pulse" much like the enemy pulses if they have been scanned. This way you know exactly when you and your teammates drop off enemy scans. You also know who is running dampeners, allowing for more successful flanking opportunities.

4) Cut the current scan times in half (for the scanning animation) and add this time to the visibility duration. This is a nerf to the Quantum Scanners (currently 2s scan duration) so the 360* scans will now become 180* scans, and only if you are very quick. The spin scans will still be possible with the Duvolle Focused and Creodron Proximity scanners (which will be at 2.5s and 2s respectively).

That's pretty much it. I'm leery of touching anything to do with precision as chances are CCP will completely kill stealth tanking for medium frames with the introduction of the Gal Logi super-scanner. And if they nerf scanners so the Gal Logi is the only effective scanner post-buff, they the scanners will be pretty much useless in anyone else's hands.

Gallente Logistics Bonus: +10% to active scanner visibility duration and +5% to active scanner precision per level.
