Actually you're wrong on the range on Flux. It is 150 meters. I know this from experience using and seeing the difference between Active Scanner and Flux Scanner.
The reason you see it go a small distance is the UI shows the "ping" at the same speed. What you are seeing is that the scanning time is only 1 second instead of 2 (from base scanner) and UI ping is only able to show half the distance.
More to follow (sorry I only read part of your post. Back to reading)
EDIT: As per 2 and 3, you said you only have one point into active scanner. Scout automatically will not show up from it (scanner has 46 dB I think. Light frames have 40 dB profile?)
On top of that how do you know your opponent isn't using profile dampners? What about a passive that decreases suit scan profile? You are assuming its not working based on unfinished data.
(More later. Posting on a phone is stupid ridiculous) |

Ah ok. Hmm that does seem interesting, Especially because I can't see a heavy running multiple profile dampners.
But yeah. Message of some margin of error pops up.
Well maybe scanning elevation is weird. Need to do more testing with that. But from the small amount of scanning people on pipes at Ashland, they've picked up on my scans some of the time. Other times they pick up but don't show. "some margin of margin" message. |

(Unless they implement a new system called Peace Points. You can roll AFK gain into this as well.) Indeed, it must be handled carefully. I was thinking of a kill assist type of system, but just with scanners. The WP gain would be small, +5 or even +1. Not mandatory at all, but it would be nice to see a little reward and encouragement for using it.
I would like to see an assist system to help out with the promotion of scanning but from my stand, I like the way it is now. You can't farm WP for it by spamming it solo (which might become a problem with higher level scanners) but it GREATLY enhances your team situation in battle by giving them extremely valuable intel. |

Hmm. Guess I'm thinking of the flux scanner cool down then. Lol
Also I have 2 levels into scanning so I also can't use advanced models. Yet. >:D |
