Argument: TACNET data > 10 m is more valuable than TACNET data <= 10 m.
Points:
1. The scan radar in ranges <= 10 m is so small that the data becomes aliased creating an ambigous scan that is hard to understand. Dots appear on top of other dots.
2. Using scan data to watch your back during hacking, most weapons can kill from > 10 m.
3. Enemies (especially scouts) can approach within the 10 m radius and attack you before the TACNET data even appears on radar due to network communication time.
4. If an opponent is within 10 m range, you are likely engaging them in combat and don't have time to look at TACNET.
5. If you're looking at the TACNET radar while the enemy is <=10 m away, then you will most likely have sustained considerable damage by the time you shift your eyes back to aim.
I'm not saying it's useless, but I am saying that TACNET data <= 10 m is considerably less valuable than TACNET data > 10 m.

The mini map is small to keep people from relying on it too much. Your eyes are your most valuable in put in this game. Use them.
Put your flags up in the sky.
And wave them side to side.

I rely on my eyes. If TACNET weren't meant to be looked at, then it wouldn't have been included in the game. It is supposed to be a simulation of future battle intel, right?

Yes, a future where stealth has kept up with detection technology.

It is extremely helpful to OHK weapons
less scouts will be seen weilding OHK weapons with a tiny range.
1.10 will kill stealthy scouts
time to respec into an assault :D

I'll do what I've always done and find a way to make it work.
There's a fit that will let me stab people still. I will find it.

Aero had a good suggestion about this. He suggested that each dropsuit had a "custom" radar that was drawn to scale with the dropsuit's maximum ranges.
The edge of the radar would represent the edge of your dropsuits scan range - 40, 70, 85.6, etc.
There would be a middle band that represented mid range scanning, and then a small circle that represented short range. This way, you don't have little dots overlapping each other in your short range scans
