In past builds, the maxed out scanner was always able to scan his enemies.
As it sits today, a scout with a few dampners wins the EWAR race in that nobody can scan him.
Which is right? Which is better for gameplay?
Should the scanner or the scanned win the EWAR race? |

That's a good point, but remember there are both active and passive scanners, and your comments only apply to active scanners.
What about passive scanning? Should the passive dampener always win the passive scanning race?

That said no one can hide from the gal logi with proto focus scans which is always a good fall back. However no one seems to want to run gal logi and would rather complain.
FYI: Double dampened and cloaked scouts evade even the best Gal Logi focused scanner. |

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I appreciate it.
For those of you who don't know, I play a scanner in our PCs and have been doing so since the introduction of EWAR. I've got the Gal Logi, Cal Scout, and Amarr scout (and all requisite skills) maxed out. I know the role well, but I've also been struggling with how to adapt to the new battelfield where there's nothing I can do against dampened scouts (except be a good bullet/NK sponge) -- and then the idea for this thread came to me yesterday.
Because, IMO, the balance of power has gone too far towards dampening over scanning, with the scanner really having no counter and the scanned still being very lethal and effective (particularly in groups).
I liked two ideas expressed in this thread: First, the idea that the Gal Logi scanner should be able to detect all scouts. Second, the idea of falloff. Both would help even the balance of power and make the battlefield more diverse -- which I think is a good thing, but I also cannot dismiss the self-interest in that observation either.
Anyway, thanks again for the comments, ideas, and discussion -- I appreciate it. |
