Don't waste sp in passive scanning. Be smart and save your sp to level up another rifle to proto, or maybe another assault suit. Passive scanning is totally not worth it.

I have saved up SP ready for 1.8, no need to get any more weapons, and I'll carry on passive scanning, I like it. If we got a respec/refund I would actually skill out of 4 weapons.

Marc Rime 254	Posted - 2014.02.18 18:54:00 - [34] - Quote Be careful with the passive scanner, you don't want to become to reliant on it. Sometimes it makes me too complacent until, while I'm lazily moving around and resting my eyes in the upper left corner, some fellow scout reminds me why this is a really bad idea ;). Also, there will be more scouts come 1.8.
AP Grasshopper The Unit 514 172	Posted - 2014.02.18 19:01:00 - [35] - Quote As there are currently no pilot suits out at the moment. If Gallente scout with 4 complex range amplifiers does in fact work inside a tank it would make a nice supplement as the vehicle scanner only reaches out to 80 meters. Please let us know when your son has finished paw patrol =] I'd test it myself but I don't have the SP in scouts.

Apart from a dual sidearm fit, I don't go past standard on weapons. On a proto suit, I acknowledge you can't exactly surpass fitting barriers using just complex mods alone, and I've never really felt the performance increase on light weapons was really worth the increase in cost either. You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.

What can scan you with complex that you couldn't avoid with enhanced? I only have gallante 3 and damp 3 and 1 enhanced gets me under all but focused proto. And I don't think you can get under that (14.0 as 14.1 would round to 15 and get aught ) without two mods On a Gal scout two complex dampeners will get you to 13.86 dB, so 14 dB in reality. With one comp damp it is 18 dB. {:)}{3GÇó>

Got my brain set on 1.8 this morning. 1.7 = 3x complex will get you to 14.20 dB, which should get you below the focused. Replace one of those with an enhanced and it should be 14.42 dB, which should still get you below. {:)}{3GÇó>

Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 841	Posted - 2014.02.18 21:24:00 - [42] - Quote In 1.7 you need 4 complex dampeners to get under 15dB scans (putting you at 14.21dB). Tested this using two PS3s on Oceania. From what I remember about getting in/out of LAVs and dropships, your passive scans do not work while you are in a vehicle. And as others have said, passives aren't the scans you're looking for. Move along.
Bones McGavins TacoCat Industries 506	Posted - 2014.02.18 23:25:00 - [43] - Quote Also never look at the profile / percision of heavies. It's certainly not true that heavies can pick up each other. And it's not like an extra 5 m scan radius is super helpful on getting the jump on other heavies allowing pre spool of hmg. I mean heavies are never engaging around corners in right spaces within 15m...

The only thing that'll sneak up on me are other scouts. Passive scanning does not work in vehicles or installations. They may stay on your map if you passively scanned them just prior to hoping in but they'll fall off minimap once out of range. Even if they move back in range they don't appear.

I'm gonna have to test that, because I swear I've had people pop up on my radar while shooting at tanks with a rail turret. And I run solo so I know it wasn't an Active Scan.

Please correct me if i'm wrong. Passive scans work 99% percent of the time. Occasionally something will slip past (and it isn't damps as they will show up fine after a short delay). In my experience passive scanning is heavily effected by terrain or structures that might be in between you and your target. EDIT: It looks like I was describing LoS scanning. Never mind me.
