LEVEL 2 FORUM WARRIOR!!!!!

Anyways, SCANS ARE OP and I made a fit and vid that I may or may not put on YouTube.

So it was an adv gallogi with 4 pro scans, proximity,flux,focused, and quantum.

I use it for 2 matches straight and won both games. In those 2 games I noticed few things.

GÇó Gallente logis are op but not rewarded. So many scans and intel kill assists but little wp.
GÇó people fear scanners so much, you don't even have to fight to win, just scan them to hell.
GÇó it only takes ONE GALLENTE LOGI TO WIN A MATCH FOR YOU. Both matches, I was only scanner. With was good in the case that I could really see the op-ness of scans.
GÇó kill the scanner = chance to attack. This I noticed the first match. You know how you see a logi repping someone? Your priority is to kill them so that te heavies will fall and you can attack right? Same with the gallogi. The moment I died, enemy started to push. Once I spawned and perma-scanned them, they backed down again.

Now, while scans are 'OP' they actually aren't really 'OP'. I fit. Really know how to explain my self tho.

There is no doubt that scans are annoying and can scan all, but I just thought if a GREAT WAY TO FIX them.

Make scanners have a certain scan type. Focuses scanners are made to scan scouts. Basic scanners are made to all undamped suits. Make a new scanner that scans suits with damps.

Type C scans. Can scan all vehicles, and non-light suits. These are standard scanners.

Type B scans. Once you put a damp on any non-light dropsuit, it turns into a type b scan. Only type b scans can scan those suits. New scanner should be added.

Type a scans. Can only scan scouts. These are focused scanners.

I dont know how the community would feel about removing the pro varients of the scanners. I personally wouldn't mind.

This will bring a new wave of stealth assaults, will make scouts more useful, and will put real value on gallogis because the can carry all 3 types of scans with a scan bonus.

Type c scanners- can scan all undamped dropsuits

Active scanner type c - 60 (can scan all undamped sentinels)
A-86 active scanner- rename to c-86 - 55 (can scan all undamped commandos/logis and sentinels)
Creodron scanner type c - 45 (can scan all undamped commandos, assaults, logis, and sentinels)

Type b scanners- can scan all damped dropsuits
Active scanner type b -
B-54 (random number) active scanner -
Creodron scanner type b -

Type a scanner- can scan scouts with damps (pro galscout stats)

Focused scanner type a - 22
A-12 focused scanner - 21
Creodron focused scanner type a -20

Or, you can make it so you cant 360 spin and scan and can only carry one scanner on a suit. Reduce range to 75m and boom, balance. Also make active scanners an altitude type thing where as if i'm standing in a room above you, you cannot active scan.

But the fact of the matter is it's an inglorious and expensive job scanning for your team. High risk for you and little reward. Scans are balanced by the fact you get so few WP. I swear if people keep whining about it, I'm just going to play for a week straight doing nothing but scanning. The C.E.O. of G.L.O.R.Y, (~..)~ Now on Youtube ~(..~)
