Hey. I'd love to hear input from the community and CCP on this one. What is the active scanner supposed to do?
In my experience it doesn't go through walls, nor is it clear how the scanner's resolution interacts with the dropsuits' profiles. Does anyone have experiences or some theorycrafting level specifics on this one?
If CCP were to answer, it's really important the community knows exactly how the AS is supposed to function. Right now it's hard to know if it's working or not when I test it! |

Yeah, that's my experience as well. I really expected it to "see" through walls. |

Your testing experiences mirror mine. I'm really confused as to why the Active Scanner does nothing of what I thought it would. |

I guess? It's astoundingly hard to tell at the moment. |

What level of AS were you using, Chankk? |

For example (not taking into account skills) if u are running around in an assault suit (scan precision 55) and you see a scout run behind a building u will not have him on ur radar for long because he has a scan profile 10 less than ur scan precision. Now the second part of my theory is tht building and terrain hinder scan precision more, as the terrain gets bigger; ie. a small building might make ur scan precision increase (get worse) by 5% whereas a larger building might increase it by 10-15%. As for the AS it has its own scan precision (I haven't tested if it is affected by skills or not) but it confirms some of my theories cus I've stood on one side of a building and didn't know there was a lav on the other side did an AS scan and it show up flashing then disappeared about a second after I put the AS away.
That's interesting, but I think it's too complicated. |

I'm determined to see CCP eventually answer this one. C'mon guys, it's not even a hard question! |
