With the Concentric Circle Falloff idea, more nuanced and inclusive EWAR is being implemented.
I feel that for that idea to truly be complete, Active Scanners must also change into a more nuanced and inclusive form.
I propose there be three main categories of Active Scanners and that they use the Dropsuit's own Precision rating when making Scans modified by the Scanner type and any role bonus (Logi). Advanced and Prototype Scanners would generally offer enhanced Precision and/or other perks such as Duration, Range, Cooldown, or the addition of other tactical information. (Facing, Speed of Movement, Suit Type, Location of Recently Dead allies, et cetera.)
Solo Vision Type - Primarily to let a person know the presence or absence of enemies, the duration would be low enough (2-3s) that it would rarely used to hunt specific targets. This would be useful on Assault and Commando and would have high enough base Precision to need minimal module support. With good module support, Adv or Pro Scanner this could pick up some dampened Scouts, letting the user go on 'alert' but without having the capability of giving direct combat application. It is poor at close range.
Stats - High Precision, Medium Range, Low Width, Lowest Duration, Medium CD, PG/CPU suited for Non-Logi.
Squad Vision Type - Standard consistent vision for an organized squad, with the Logistics role bonus and fitted Precision Enhancers this would be the one most likely to pick up dampened scouts. It would be decent at short range.
Stats - Medium Precision, Long Range, Medium Width, Medium Duration, Medium CD. (Standard for Logi)
Team Vision - Allows solo players to support their team, detecting the presence or absence of enemies. Due to the low range and wide width it requires more risky positioning. Specialized Support Scouts (Precision Enhancers, and Dampening) could get very close and literally scout out enemy locations. It would be great at short range, but basically never pick up a properly dampened scout.
Stats - Low Precision, Low Range, High Width, Low Duration, Medium CD. (For Logi and Support Scout)
Logistics Role Bonus - (15-25%) Enhanced Precision with Active Scanners.
I would suggest a Cooldown bonus for the Gallente Logi. |
