1. Generally speaking, how do you feel about scan falloff? In short that scans should be more effective at short range, and less effective at long range.
2. What do you feel are appropriate detection conditions. For example, should it simply be you are either currently scanned or not scanned, as we currently have? Or should there be more variation in detection conditions.
3. Should scan conditions vary depending on variation between signature profile and scan precision? That is to say, once scanned, should the last effect vary depending on the difference in stats?
4. Should secondary actions such as running, sprinting, or firing a weapon affect signature profile?
5. How do you feel about current Scout bonuses?
6. Do you feel that passive scans should be constant scans are they are now? Or activate periodically?
1. Scan falloff is a good thing. Stealth means avoiding direct confrontation, so if you have decided to engage in short range your going to be picked up.
2. We already do have some nuance in ewar. This currently works well between medium frames, commandos and heavies. Its only the extreme between proto scouts being invisible to everyone except a proto gal logi that you have that conflict between scanned or not.
The only thing is to have some fall off for active scanners. They should boost your passives no question about it, but beyond 75 m it should drop off, every 25 m. So 75 would become the new inner ring 125 m would be the second ring, 175 outer ring. Max damp scouts can get no closer than 75 m from being active scanned but can still move about beyond that .
Scouts get to retain some mobility despite the best scans on the field, Gal logi gets to keep thier bonus and protect thier squad from anyboy with in rail rifle range.
3. Depends on the on screen effect.
4. No. this would kill the scout class dead.
5. You'll have to ask more dedicated scouts than me, but the bonuses right now are fine, even if a bit low per level. Amarr scouts could use some love. I have zero problem getting under all but proto scans, and i only have level 3 / 4 gallente minmatar scouts with a basic cloak.
6. Yes. leave them as they are. I already have enough on my plate in my logi suits (who are ewar equipped) to worry about switching on or off my passive scans.
