EWAR in dust is pretty flat. You have a constant profile number which determines either a pass or fail when you are scanned. I think much more depth could be added to be EWAR and stealth game play with Dynamic Scan Profiles
I propose various in-game actions have either a positive or negative effect on your Scan Profile
Examples, using a base scan profile of 30
Holding Still: -5% 30db>28db
Crouching: -5%
Holding still + crouching: -10% 30db>27db
Moving slowly: 0% (No change)
Running: +5% 30db>32db
Sprinting: +10% 30db>33db
Firing sidearm: +5%
Firing Light weapon: +10%
Firing heavy weapon: +25% 30db>38db
Using a scanner: +15% 30db>35db (Scanning gives off a large signature, revealing the scanner)
The idea is that this would add some actual stealth play, as well as adding a few balanced variables to scanning.
!--CCP, let's push for the license of Dust on both current Gen consoles--!

That's why we have concentric/binary ewar. :/

This would still be nice to have, in conjunction with better scan balance

Thanks.
Most people agree with the premise here, but bring up valid concerns of whether the game can handle it (Get on my level Dust!)
Still, there are many ways we could improvise and still make EWAR more dynamic without putting strain on the server.

That way you can get use out of every module even if you dont wish to fully commit to ewar.
I've thought about this too, and I think it's a great idea.
Rattati made a post about how they wanted to have different blip sizes on radar IE: A large blip for a heavy, and a tiny speck for a scout.
Combining these would be the best case: The tiny blip would only linger a second or two, where the big heavy blot would linger on your radar.
This then finally introduces partial scanning. IE: If you run damps on a heavy, you might give off the signature of a medium or light frame, rather than the flat PASS/FAIL system.
