Is there any chance we can work out a way to prevent every suit that isnt a scout from being subjected to permascans in any game where some **** eating chode decides that instead of playing the game he'd rather sit at a supply depot abusing the **** out of scanners all game, or some guy who likes to run 4 scanners on his logi?
Maybe make it so depots dont reset scanner cooldowns?
Maybe add in scan immunity after being scanned where you are scan immune for X seconds after being hit by an active scanner? |

Pro tip, only scouts can avoid all scans.
Like I said in the OP, everyone else can be permascanned, and it makes for boring matches. |

If you're being sarcastic, Im not sure why, since the gist of my post is that it results in boring gameplay and isnt very fun for anyone but scouts. |

Or 75/11 as I had the pleasure to watch a Third Rock member go with a scout using REs only - a mere 36 hours ago.
Just because saxon is in my corporation doesnt mean I like playing the stereotypical remote chucking shotgun ****. |

Gal Logi precision bonus nullifies you.
This.
I was thinking maybe if the active scans only propagated to the TACNET of people within a certain range of the logi that might do something (especially in regards to supply depot ballet scanning).
Whats GD think of that? |

Gal Logi precision bonus nullifies you. You know whats funny? In almost all of my daily matches, I run a bluepring SEVR logi suit. It has no modules on it to reduce scan profile. I have my cores at 5, so that should make my profile -45Db. There are so many people out there using militia scanners that I see SCAN ATTEMPT PREVENTED anearly as often as I see YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED. Now, sure, when I'm in PC I get scanned all the time. I expect to, so I don't care when it happens. The scanner doesnt know if I'm a logi, a scout or a heavy just that I'm there. My PC suit has 2 precision enhancers, which get's that logi suit to a precision of -27Db and a 13M range ( i think it's 13M) anyways, even if a scout tries to run in behind me, I have a few seconds that he's on my tacnet so long as he's not completely damped. I kill a lot of shotgun scouts in that suit, even when they do scan me first. Stop worrying about active scanners so much. They DO NOT give you enough detail to know if you can win a fight or even what you're up against. They can only show you the amount of people in front of you, and while that can be important, it's not the key to winning a fight.
Oh ok, when Im flanking around to try to accomplish something in a protostomp and I get scanned and instantly people start running after me and sniping me I didnt know all I needed to do was stop worrying about it. My bad. Ill try that next time. |

Something like that would finally give my Assault a worthwhile equipment to use that isn't Nanohives.
