I think EWAR needs more options, apart from general slight range buff for passive scans.
Active Scanners:
I actually think they should be even stronger, but with a added downside. They should increase the user's scan profile for the duration of the scan. That way a logi can't just continuously scan the battlefield without turning him/herself to a gigantic christmas tree with a bullseye painted on the back for the entire enemy team to see. Active scanning should require some tactical awareness and strategy.
Cloaks:
I think it's silly the higher the tier, the longer duration AND dampening you get. There should be two (or more) forms of cloaks:
- Long duration with no bonus to dampening, long switch time to weapon / equipment. Perhaps with a reduced shimmer while moving. Used for traversing open fields undetected.
- Short duration with bonus to damping. Short switch time to weapon / equipment, but a reactivation delay before it's possible to cloak up again. Used for strategic quick ambush / assassination, but require timing and planning to not be caught.
Modules:
Profile dampeners, Range Amplifiers and Precision Enhancers should be made more powerful, but with a added downside. For example Range Amplifiers should give a consirable boost in range, but the same time increase you own scan profile. Profile dampeners should be the opposite, reducing your scan profile at the expense of your available scan range. This way you can't just build a mobile scanning platform without downsides. (ok ok, one existing downside is you can't fill all slots with EHP modules... But anyway)

I agree, we need more options.
Wouldn't it be cool with a equipment which jammed the TacNet within a certain radius of the user? Like the bloody Geth Hunters from Mass Effect? When you enter an area and your radar just show static... And you think... ****, where is it?
Of course, there would need to be some indication of who is doing the jamming, so you could find and kill the bastard. |
