Did I miss something? How was the 360 degree spin scan removed?

- I am randomly walking
- I get scanned by a proto scanner
- I pull out my cloak and activate it. Putting my profile under the scanner that just scanned me.
Will I still be on the radar while cloaked? If not: If I uncloak, will I get back on the radar? If you are above the threshold at the time of scan you will be scanned. That is how it is now. So I'm assuming that's how it will be after the update. So putting on a cloak afterwards would just be a hazy character with a neon lit-up signature as we have it now.
Ya, I don't think it should work like that at all. I think that if you get scanned and activate the cloak, you should fall of the radar.
If it does end up working like the way you described, it shouldn't and needs to be changed to work the other way ASAP.

Bump, cause CCP still hasn't answered the question, to my knowledge.
Answer please!

What about fluxes/fall damage? Not 'tested' exactly, but there have a been a few times I've swiched fits specifically because I'm being scanned and the 'you have been scanned' message has remained. That could just be a UI bug - frankly, I don't get scanned often enough to extrapolate from subsequent enemy behaviour whether I'm glowing to them or not. Wow - kinda pointless post really... Regardless - the original question still remains and it's a good one. I still think stealth is getting an effective nerf, since the need to actually avoid scans is going to be merely a fraction of what it is now. Not a complaint of course - just an observation.
If I am scanned and the activate my cloak I should fall off the radar. If there are not plans to include the mechanic the CCP is doing it wrong. This topic needs to be addressed before it has the chance to be implemented incorrectly.

Well then I am inclined to think that you have either been mislead of did not properly understand what was being discussed. As it stands now the cloak decreases your profile by 25% (at all tiers) while active.
