Ratatti has said before the server and infrastructure dust uses can't handle dynamic.

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

I like this. Might be hard to implement.

Scan precision should be -10% directly behind you, allowing players to sneak up on each other.

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)

Scan precision should be -10% directly behind you, allowing players to sneak up on each other.

Being behind a wall or terrain: (line of sight penalty): -5%



The idea is that this would add some actual stealth play, as well as adding a few balanced variables to scanning.

Love how you think, Talos!

Still, there are many ways we could improvise and still make EWAR more dynamic without putting strain on the server.

Yo what if we had profile damps reduce the amount of time you are scanned in addition to its current effect? So like 1 plex damp alone might not make you stealthy but it could reduce the time you are light up on the enemies scans.

That way you can get use out of every module even if you dont wish to fully commit to ewar.
