Remove the "you have been scanned" notification.

What's the #1 thing you do when you are scanned? "Oh crap, gonna have to wait. F gal logis."

But when you don't see it? "Da da da da da da look at me I. Killing people not worrying about dying.

No? Well... That my idea. I feel is all I. Your mind. You're (everyone even me) afraid of scanners. When, really, what's to be scared of? Run away or go hard core.

Anything better?

I agree with you. It doesnt make sense to me that we get a notification that we have been scanned. However I have a counter proposal:

Why not have it so thst when you grt scanned, you get a tiny blip on your tacnet of who scanned you for a second?

I've suggested the reveal the scanners location thing and presented a reasonable argument. I was given a several pages of paragraph responses by trolls and major corp people defending scanners.

Interesting.... Id even go so far as to say to show the cone of the active scanner.

That idea isn't to bad actually...

This is only slightly less dumb than the "hide the roster and remove names from the killfeed to solve the leave battle problem" suggestion. -1.

How 'bout we fix Active Scans by fixing Active Scans?

The most simple solution (right now) is just to temporarily raise the scan profile of the user during activation of the scanner, similar to how the cloak field is reducing it. This would make the scanner paint a bullseye on his/hers head for a short time, making him think twice when and where you activate it.

A direct and potent nerf to the dampened forward recon scout with scanner. My uparmored GalLogi surrounded by blues, on the other hand -- the unit which is actually responsible for your team being permascanned -- won't even notice.

Not that I'm opposed to the idea. Declining Scout performance could motivate Rattati to fix declining Scout performance.

Swing away, nerf bat. Swing away.

I see it more as a way to diversify scanning.

It would only make sense shorter range / weaker scanners haver lower impact on your scan profile. So, your Recon Scout should be fine as long he takes the small / short increase into account, perhaps offsetting it by cloaking up.

The GalLogi scanning platform on the other hand, will be a bright beacon for the duration of the game.

Hmmmm, now where should we drop that orbital?

I actually quite like the idea of an indicator showing where an active scan came from. I'd rather that than painting the scanner. Not great for scouts using active scanners, but without being painted it's not a huge problem. Logis may well already be scanned, but this indicator would help pinpoint who was responsible for the scanning. Making them a great target for assassination to rob the enemy of their intel (briefly).

I'd like to see active scans change from painting targets to just a snapshot, revealing enemy positions. So, for example, if all active scan durations were reduced to 1 second (and the Gal logi duration bonus replaced) they would provide a strategic advantage, but not a combat advantage like they do now. It would also leave more room for passive scanning to be effective, and in turn more value to hiding from passives.
