Range amps have fallen out of use on a number of my fits, such as cal scout and cal logi, have also spoken to players of other races and seeing that accross the board range amps at the current state aren't worth using
Not to mention the awful basic range amp on the 'Raesetsu' assault
If the development team and CPM could look into a slight buff
Current: 5% 10% 15%
Suggested:10% 15% 20%
or 15% 20% 25%
While allowing for greater range, with the new 'scan falloff' mechanic means that without investment in precision, this bonus to range is moderate at best, meaning scouts wanting to 'see' more will need to sacrifice more slots on highs and lows
Should also help encourage more non-scout ewar fits, mediums using spare slots to buff their ewar
Warning: Possible return to sqds having constant 'ewar vision', can be managed by the cloaked range debuff mechanic
Please post ideas/feedback
Math will follow of possible fits before and after a proposed buff

While off hand these may not seem like bad range stats, bear in mind it is on the suit with the most possible range
Think of how awful medium range buffs are....especially for new players with basic skills..

Give scouts 25m base scan range and increase scan radii to 25/75/100% on top of this and passives will be fine.
I'd also suggest removing the chevrons from the HUD, making them only show up on the mini-map.
Dust is there! I was real!
Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~
