Here are additional tweaks we are proposing to add to that hotfix. Please comment.
A new players worst experience is to get insta-popped during spawn-ins. Adding a CRU passive scan is a good way to help players decide whether this will be suicidal or not. Precision catches all non-damped and non-damp skilled frames
CRU passive scan:15m radius35 precisionbuff
Thanks!
Hmmm. Not sure I like this. It's not long since the crazy unavoidable passive scans of all installations was removed - not really seeing a valid reason to add these back in any way.
Surely not spawning in somewhere where someone is camping is something you should learn after it happens the first time. This is part of a NPE lesson that is valuable to learn no? It applies to uplinks...
Also I think I'm right in saying that CRU spawning is in a random location (same as objectives?) and if you are trying to camp then you are at risk yourself.
What you're trying to fix (though as I say, I believe this should be part of the NPE and not something that needs fixing) can also work the other way too can't it? Vets, as opposed to noobs, can use this intel to their advantage to catch reds who stray too close to a CRU or attempt to hack it. Those reds could be noobs....etc. Many times I've risked clones and spawned where I know there are reds camping to try and get that RE down before they blat me. The door swings both ways.
Not really seeing a benefit here. Be interested to hear others' thoughts.

Yeah oops. Just slow down a tiny little bit. There's no hurry. Even if Legion was green-lit today, there's months of closed beta, then months (give or take) of open beta. Plenty more time to milk the AUR cow.
Unless of course Legion is more advanced than anybody thinks, was green-lit under secrecy a day after FF 2014, and is going to only need a month of open beta before a launch. Let's face it, CCP aren't big on marketing so that's like - a day :-o

Everything about them should be dedicated to closing with and destroying the enemy. Dampening and stealth should be the realm of the scout.
