Anyway, the idea is, you have to charge your scanner, and the longer you charge it the wider your radius, up to the maximum of that scanner, and then you release to see what's inside that radius.
Use a Range Amplifier, Precision Enhancer and a Good Scanner with a Gal Logi... Rather than just tanking a logi and following a typical lolLogi slayer fittings.... |

1. No need to charge, but make them take a snapshot of a specific arc in the instant the button is pressed. No timer, no scan duration. A "snapshot" like we were promised. 2. In conjunction with this snapshot effect, return the scanning arcs they had pre-1.8 because the current tiny arcs are useless when panning makes the scans glitch out and miss random targets for no reason.
And how to rebalance them in a way that weakens cloaks without needing them to be nerfed:
1. Increase the precision value (yes, this is a nerf) of all Active Scanners and reduce their range by a small margin. 2. Make the Active Scanner skill provide a slight precision buff to their use, and make precision enhancers and range amps work with the Scanner.
This would result in Active Scanning Logis who spend several module slots as well as their equipment slot in order to combat cloaked Scouts doing the same thing.
Scouts using only a cloak would become visible to a well-built scanner Logi, but because it's only a limited arc, you could be careful and approach from an unexpected angle. I highly approve of this.
Sounds like a good idea as long as CCP doesn't do the following:
- Allow standard Scanners to Combat Advanced Cloaks - Allow Advanced Scanners to Combat Proto Cloaks
Keep in mind lolLOgi players can still brick tank the hell out of their suit...
Proper scout suits HP for proto scouts is around 200-400 hp vs brick tanked 800hp scouts and 900hp lolLogi suits...
If a scout is using multiple precision, range and dampening modules, a logi with just a scanner shouldn't be able to counter that... |

BTW the game is much fun now, that every tom **** and harry with a scanner is not just randomly scanning the hell out of the map and getting assist points... Also it's a lot less annoying without the "You have been scanned" in your screen for the entire time... that 360 stupid scan was annoying... Now only some with enough skills and will should be allowed to scan...
btw all the Logi suits can be better used to counter Scouts... it's just that people don't wanna come out of their Comfortable Brick tanked shells and use the slots for proper modules.
Technically that Gal and Cal Logi should be a great counter to scouts... But people love their Shield extenders and specially Armor plates a bit too much....
My 180k scout suit has 250-60 total EHP without any HP modules in it... It's not very difficult to counter it... If someone is willing to that is... |

I don't have a single point invested into logis after 1.8 lol. Scanners are ****.
Pair a scout with a Logi and heavy and see how it works ... I'm very sure you know exactly what i'm talking about |
