Using passive scanners on a Gall. scout do not seem to be working properly. Or am I using them wrong?
How are assaults and heavies able to get in very close proximity before I detect them? My scanning radius is about 17.5 meters with all of my bonuses, not to mention my precision enhancers.
Yet I have been shot in the back by heavies/assaults who have snuck up on me... I always keep an eye on my radar when I hack, or something like that. I am not seeing these people show up on scanners....
Are the scanners not effective on certain type of drop suits? Heavies should be the first thing I see on scanners! No?
I find it hard to believe that the mass majority of ppl I run into are using dampeners...
Do passive scanners only work at a frontal angle? Because in the Chromosome build, they were working pretty much great. I could scan people at all angles and through barriers/walls. (Can't remember the effectiveness of rear scanning, buuuut... considering scouts have this "All Eyes scanning systems" or whatever, I figured it should scan around you 360 degrees...)
Just before the Uprising build, they seem to have randomly stopped working! I couldn't scan suits like heavies or logies any longer. Even if they were behind a barrier right beside me! I thought this would be remedied in Uprising.
Can anyone give me insight to what is going on with scanning mechanics? |

Exactly right, man. I made a thread about it too just earlier today and I agree with you. Like you, I'm a Gallente scout with a nice scanning radius and I've also ran a precision enhancer and my radar does not pick up ANYONE unless I have a direct visual on them. My radar does spot the enemy equipment very well though. |
