I'm not asking this because I hate cloaked shotguns, I'm asking because it really doesn't make any sense why they don't. The optics in our dropsuits can pick up the purple outline of the cloak, but the active a scanner can't? It's only purpose is to pick up on enemy units and with how long the cool down is, you'd think it was actually doing a massive scan. What kind of scan does the scanner use? Heat, sonar, radio signal, movement, distortions in light? Any of these still would be able to pick up a cloaked unit. Unless you went extreme scifi and developed a completely new idea base for scans, even this advanced of a world wouldn't skip the basic **** we have developed at our technology level. If it's not the scanner, then the cloak units really are too unbalanced, there's no way to counter them in an urban setting on the game besides dumb luck of turning around at the right time.

Let active scanners pick up cloaked units, it makes sense and it'd be a great way to level out the balance. Make it so their signature is smaller, or you can't see what direction they are facing. Just something.

Proto scanner, proto Gallente logi suit. Problem solved... unless you're going against Galscouts, or a Minmatar/Amarr giving up most of their armor/speed/hacking ability/etc... to avoid your scanners.

If you're expecting to pick up scouts who have invested millions into the scout role with a basic or advanced scanner, you're going to be disappointed, and deserve as much for expecting to constantly see everything on your radar for less than a million SP. If you've actually got a proto scanner and aren't picking up your targets, it means they're using at least one or more profile dampeners or are are Galscouts with cloaks.
