Right now any scout (especially Calscouts, but all scouts in general as well) can throw on a complex precision enhancer or two and see everything in their vicinity that they need to know, also sharing this data with their squad members, passively for as long as they are on the field. Active scanners cause a lot of noise, force you to put away your weapon, and take a small snapshot of one small section of your surroundings for a few seconds.
I would like to propose that you take directional information off of all passively scanned radar data. In order to establish the direction your target is facing on your radar, I feel that you should either have to have LoS on the target or actively scan them with a scanner.
This would both increase the utility of the active scanner while cutting down on the passive scanner's utility as a slayer tool, making it more of a tactical asset instead of an easy access ambush planner.

just eliminate passive scan sharing from scouts, make them use a scanner or comms to relay the information.
Leave the passive scan sharing on the other classes., particularly the assault.

I disagree.
I think the precision on Caldari just needs to be lowered.

I'd like to see shared passive scans go the way of the logistics dropship (R.I.P.)
Not sure about the rest, but shared passive scans are broken, and it just turns everyone in the group into a cal scout.

I can agree to that. We got rid of it before for this very reason. A tanker or sniper could sit on a hill and keep the entire other team lit up for your squad. I'm simply making this suggestion based on current mechanics.

Personally?
I think the idea of all the scouts passively scanning to help the team is a really neat idea that should stay, just not be as OP as it is with Caldari.
If you're medium and you don't have the dampening skill/mod, or if you're heavy, I think you should have to sacrifice scanning profile for your other strengths. So I think you deserve to be seen by an organized squad.
Does anyone have the numbers on the range nerf? If I recall correctly the Cal Scout used to have a 60m range or something.
