Return to Ravnica? MtG?
I skilled up to active scanners, threw one on a ski weave logi and ran around pulling the trigger.
Not much happening. In fact, besides the opening & closing of the device while holding it up in front of me, I get no game feedback that anything is happening.
The base model active scanner has a 45 scan resolution. It says it will detect infantry, vehicles & installations. The scan res must be lower than the targets scan profile to get a reading. At least that is how I read it.
I got no readings of infantry on my mini-map while trying it. There may have been no enemy infantry in range 75m. Or the ones in range may have had lower profiles than my newb skills could detect.
I plan on skilling up all of the related skills and giving Scanning feedback here.
I wouldn't mind getting out of the Healthcare business and into the Electronic Warfare industry. Nano injectors still suck |

Ok, I ran an active scanner tonite. I can see the flash and hear a faint sound ( I presume this is the magnometronic energy blah blah). And once or twice ( out of dozens of attempts) I MAY have seen a red dot appear when one wasn't there before
I can't tell if the scanner projects a wedge of scan energy
I can't tell if the scanner is active only for a moment ( point and click) or constant (while I hold the trigger)
I think red dots caught within 75m in front of me seem to light up brighter
The mini map is rather small given the kind of tactical data I need
Still not sure if the device is working as intended and my skills or technique are off
Gonna be working on all the scan skills further but omg making isk and sp is difficult as logistics.
Oh, and CCP, thank you for the minor mass driver buffs....they may not be enough for me to stick with this weapon at launch let alone a third full build. |

True, the passive scan skills are your skills exclusively, but what you see - your team sees, broadcast to everyone's map. That why you have map intel while getting ready to spawn in

Not much scanner use last nite. The equipment isn't earning it's space in my 2 slots
I did train long range scan to II and got qualified for one of those scan booster mods. Ran a game or two with that
Still hard to discern whether 10% scan precision is appreciable given my low skills.
Will continue to test more tonite |
