A simple idea good for all assault suits. Extend scan range from 10m to 15m.
So it will be:
- Heavy- 10m
- Assault-15m
- Scout- 20m

I don't see any reasonable argument for why not. |

I'd rather have Logis at ~12 and Scouts at 15 meters, honestly.
Lets have less wallhacks rather than more. At least that's what I'd prefer. |

Medium frames are supposed to be the middle ground in terms of scanning and profile.
I'd prefer if assaults stayed at 10m-12m, as they are a combat focused unit, and rather give logistics the 15m.

I agree, but keep it simple.
Heavy 10
Medium 15
Light 20
Medium with a single complex range amp can get to 32m scan radius.

Actually you could increase both to 15m and the Assault would still be more combat focused as the Logi still has the lower Precision rating meaning they are more focused on picking people up on Radar.

But the suit is built for combat. It has great shields, armor and servomotors, but not a lot of room dedicated to enhancing the electronics.
Whereas the login is entirely dedicated to the electronics at the expense of health and assault capability.

La Forge: I can reroute some power from the positronic capacitor and run a sub routine in the optical core, but I can only give you 5 more meters of scan range.
Captain Picard: Make it so.
Phew! That was close, but they pulled it off!
Great episode.

What is the point in this? I've seen every single kind of suit lately running damps (including fattys), so what good is scan range going to do? I've literally had 3 damped HMG heavies sneak up on me with a damped Logi while testing out a Minmatar assault with a complex precision enhancer. The assault suit's scan capabilities are only better than a heavy so all you are going to scan are undamped armor tanked suits and new players who don't know about damps.
The suit can't stand up to scout's scanning abilities or speed (not to mention it's hit box is half our size), so let the scouts run that and buff the assault so it is superior in every OTHER way. I mean regen, tank, the whole shabang.
