We HAVE shared squad vision.

Everyone complains scouts aren't scouts, there a rapid assault at best, blah blah blah.
I've heard people say they want shared scout vision in squad to make them scouts , but would you really?

Scouts would be ok with it as long as it was a passive mod that was built in the suit that you could turn on or off or even a equipment only for scouts that relayed to squad with a timer an large cooldown.

But would you really want this in game or would it be too op?

I mean imagine pc, one squad has a cal an gall scout with range an percision mods with speed running and scanning on foot with no warning to enemies, the rest of their squads are a mix between dampened scouts, logis , heavies an dampened assaults.

Would this bring to high a level of ewar or turn it to scout 514?

Thoughts on the scout drone with optional sharedsquad vision or a modul that produced this on a timer( scout only?)

We HAVE shared squad vision.

no we dont

I have heard tell by some scouts that we do. One even says it is and says they use it as if it's an exploit.

I would not know because I don't run in squads.
If it is then its a bug that needs fixed or turned into a feature. I would vote on fixed as I don't want my passive shared if I get in a squad.

Well it doesn't so no need, the dudes were probably just trolololing you bud.

Perhaps a little less complaining about the complaining and a little more about the drone itself.....

Scouts can be scouts; just most people don't use them that way.

I wouldn't want it perminant , something either to skill into or a built in on/off switch in your gun/equip menu.

I personally have been scout since beta, and I think the new cal scout an gal especially with range an percision would be excellent to send out, turn on shared vision, then drop a ob without anyone knowing they were scanned an give them time to search for cover.

An NO I'm not complaining since I am a scout I just find it stupid that a scout needs to waste a slot in order to share what it scouts.

So if it had a built in on/off switch it could be awesome BUT the discussion is DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE OP?

IMO, the scanner should not be shared, but the passive scans should be. Think about this, 1 single piece of equipment scans and shares all information with squad, while up to 3 mods (2xprecision enh and 1x range ext) on a Galscout are not shared at all??? That doesn't make sense to me. The active scanner should be for that said individual only, if you ewar tank your scout, then it should be squad 'shared' as your main role on the battlefield is intel.

This would allow all classes the capability to scan and share, but would help to balance out the risk v reward of scanners vs damps as they would both require SP investments to run efficiently. Also rework the gallogi bonus to reward length of shared passive scans or a BIG buff to passive range enh (like out to max 40-50m), then armor tank(or damps and range ext) and precision enh mods and voila! you have a proto scanning logi with enough lows to run a plethora of fits.

I dont want passive shared because If im trying to sneak up on target i dont want it shared with squad. if i want them to see what i see then i can always pull out a scanner to share it with them. so now it is a choice instead of forced shared vision.

That's why I said on/off switch in my og post, anybody read anymore?!
