A Level 5 Gallente Scout will need 3 Profile Dampener Modules in order to avoid the scans my GalLogi can provide using the Duvolle Focused Active Scanner. My Level 5 GalLogi with a Duvolle Focused Active Scanner has a scan precision of 15 dB. My Level 5 GalScout with two Complex Profile Dampeners has a scan profile of 16 dB.

In order to fully equip your suit to combat permascanning you would essentially have to gimp your suit to the point where you will not stand much of a chance in battle.

To suggest that there is nothing wrong with the Active Scanner system is to try and sweep the dirt under the rug.

1) The amount of sacrifice needed to dampen is significantly greater than the sacrifice needed to scan.

2) When EWAR changes went through, the Active Scanner remained untouched, creating further imbalance.

3) You can use multiple Active Scanners to negate the cooldown period and produce "always on" active scans.

4) With increase squad sizes in FW and PC, the number of Gal Logi w/ Duvolle Active Scan users per Teammate Receiving the Info has decreased significantly. In PC, just one is all that is needed to share with a whole team. If that is what they had intended that particular scanner to do, they would never have made it Squad Share vs. Team Share like the others.

By your logic, if two teams in PC each have one Gal Logi with a bunch of Duvolle scanners, then each team should have to field scouts to counter it. That is a very flawed argument.

There have been several sensible suggestions to changing the Active Scanner so that it can still be useful without providing such a significant benefit for so very little sacrifice.

The problem isn't scanning its being perms scanned the entire game. If equipment had charges (ammo) itd be better but being able to scan people unlimitedly at 15 db is kinda dumb (it takes 3 cplx damps and lvl 5 galscout to be able to get under that) and just running a scout suit doesn't fix the problem it actually hinders you more when they do find you cause if you fit damps you gimp your suit ( I really don't care I run all bottles on my minscout)

The problem becomes when the risk/rewards become imbalanced.

With Active Scanners, the risks are little, the benefits great, and the necessary counters are extreme with little reward and significantly greater risk and cost.

Scouts had counters when they were spammed, it was other scouts. That was a crap meta. Forcing everyone into one play style because of a single piece of EQ is likewise a crap meta.

There are plenty of ways to make Active Scans balanced and useful, so maybe instead of dragging your feet about changes, you could promote and suggest some that may alleviate some of the reasonable abuses and balance issues regarding the Active Scanners.

Quick fact check (just in case):

Last year's Scout shared its passive scans squadwide with up to a maximum of five other players. Recon Scout passives were ruled to be OP, heavily nerfed, and their former function is today being filled by the GalLogi.

This year's Active Scans are shared teamwide. The only exception is the Duvolle Focused Scanner which shares results only with squad (though squad sizes today can now reach higher counts than before).

May have misread the OP, but thought I should clear up the above points. Passive Scans have been shared with Squad since Uprising.

My two cents:

Today's Recon GalLogis are easy mode compared to yesterday's paperthin (~250HP) Recon Scouts. They get a lot more done with a lot less effort and risk exposure. I personally think that Permascan is imbalanced at any risk level and would very much like to see it fixed.
