Putting them in proper locations is a learned skill, apparently. Cause I pop vehicles with proxies. Even damage still gives the +75WP fan favorite.

Make scanners included equipment for all vehicles. Just for balance. Pirate

Although I meant that as sarcasm that is actually a good idea for derp ships.

I pop them too, but the fact that the have a built in way to detect them is silly. If you want to know where proxies are use a scanner.

Not all tanks can afford to.

Currently the Shield HAV cannot afford to sub out a core tank module unless it is on a weapons modification module as it would make the fitting sub optimal. The Minmatar HAV pilots are going to be in even more of a pickle if the Min HAV is a primary Shield tank with only 4 Highs and Nothing worth fitting beyond armour mods in the lows.

Without that noise, unless eye balling it or a friendly performing scans, they'd never know proxies were there.

I personally think that it should be removed as they have the capability to scan them. proxies are rather useless because of this, I wanna know if anyone feels like something should be done so proxies are more useful.

Using a particular module should make a certain aspect of the game easier to deal with, but it shouldn't be required to be able to deal with it. The sound alert is the only way to tell if there are proxies or not if you don't have a scanner. Your idea is basically like saying to remove everyone's ability to hack and to require everyone to put on a hacking module in order to be able to hack. If you are so worried that proxies are useless (which they aren't from a pilot's point of view), then be glad we don't have battlefield's system where they get passively scanned for you in your line of sight out to a dozen meters or so. So, having the ability to detect proxies for free is fine yeah? I have to use a scanner to detect a scout, cos lord knows that passives on an assault aren't ever gonna get close unless you stack 3 precision enhancers, and even then its a stretch. Also my idea is nowhere near comparable to removing peoples ability to hack, you have a built in warning system and on top of that the ability to scan them. So not only can you see them you get a nice Beeping sound when they are near. Everyones dropsuit doesnt have a built in warning for remotes, why should a tank get one because its a tank?

Also on to the other point, REs stick to anything, they can be hidden better than proxies, Proxies hardly blend in and even if they did, there is only one place they could be and thats on the road. The warning sound should be removed cos, lets face it you dont need an on-board scanner to pick them up if you're in a squad with a logi or two, they'll have a scanner and can pick them up for you.

I know you can hear the beeping sound and I know for a fact they don't blend in. I've seen tankers roll up, no scanners and no scan warning on me and shoot them. Pilots have the tools to find them and if you can't hear the sound, then what's the problem with removing it?
Echo 1991 Titans of Phoenix RUST415 802	Posted - 2015.05.07 00:34:00 - [5] - Quote Using one high slot to make sure you don't get done by a proxy field is not going to gimp a fit. Shield tanks are just outclassed at the moment. Also Res are barely detectable and I have a way to find them. It's called a scanner. If I have to use one to find remotes, vehicle users should have to use scanners to find proxies. How is that not fair?

You want to keep tanks at bay? Actively control the battlefield. Proxies in this sense should be more of a hindrance/ way to cut of escape routes. Which I have no problem with, but when you have both a built in warning and a module that can locate them it kinda defeats the purpose of them being traps. All I suggest is removing the warning sound you get when you are near them. No damage buffs, no profile reductions just a straight removal of the sound.

We both know that's because tanks as a whole need a rework, it's not a reason for tanks to have a built in warning device because using a scanner makes a fit sub optimal. Sacrificing HP or damage to fit something that let's you know where enemy units and equipment are seems fine to me.
