I saw this point in the other thread, but... what if scanners lit up everyone in their scan path, both friend and foe?
Technically, it would be a nerf to the system.
However:
It would promote the tactical use of scans, and the coordination of the scanner and the group using them for squads.
No more Ballerina scans, and full 360 coverage swaps, because you'd give your team's positions away at the same time.
This would make flanking... somewhat viable again without the need of stuffing your pockets with dampeners.

That would be a nerf and make them more hated to friendly's than re friendly kills in factional/PC... If only you could see them it would be an extension of passive scans and still be viable to a squad with communication.
That would only be true if the group likes to mindlessly pile forward. An organized team would make a "scan gap" for their user.
So Factional is the only place it would be a detriment. And even then, it would only be so to those who run ahead solo and ignore the group.
Also, it would fit with the theme of EvE where a person on your team can backstab just by scanning allies. Actual espionage and sabotage? Yup. That would definitely fit the bill.
