if they dont share passive they need to make active scanners give you points for kill assists outside of squad but also show them for the whole team.

I think that the Scan precision of Logistics' suits Shotgun Damage should be decreased by five or ten points increased by 100% to 200%. Scanning Killing HMG Heavies used to be a feature of logistics' suits Shotgun, but it was effectively removed when light suits' scan profiles and precision dropped ten points Heavy HP doubled ... then doubled again and Logistics' suits Shotgun Damage went unchanged.

Not implying anything; just looping you in. That's a big potential change; may be best to see how it tastes before adding salt.

Also ...

Good! that would make Caldari Scouts just what its supposed to be! a spotter, not a living tactnet radar. its one thing when a weak and puny scout can see everything, its another thing when the puny scout gives eveybody omnscient sight. scouts would have to utilize active scanners if they want others to see what they see. and even then, squad mates will only see SOME of what the cal scout sees, and for a limited time. sounds like balance to me.

as for the suggested logi suit nerf, i'll have to say no. especially on the Gallente Logi suit, since they get the aciltive scanner bonuses. overall, logi isnt as much of a fight class as its assault cousins are, so it should get some scanning precision to compensate for it getting no weapon bonuses like assault suits do. that way, on the frontlines, it will be able to see hostiles before the assault suits and plan accordingly. maybe the logi sees a large group of foes, so they can run for cover while the assault suits fight and hopefully clear them out somewhat so they can provide. or maybe there are two downed clones, one in one area, one in another. the logi can figure out which is safer to reveive by being able to detect the amount of foes by each downed clone.

Sadly it doesn't look they they can just flip a switch. Priority on this was moved way down the line.

Yes this is without removing Passive shared, because that is not a triviality it seems.
