N1ck Comeau Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 361	Posted - 2013.05.15 20:49:00 - [1] - Quote So The Active Scanner. I love it. Some minor bugs on it no big deal and such but that isnt what this thread is about. It needs some sort of warpoint system like the rest of the equipment. What i propose is that for every person i scan on the radar with it and a teammate kills him, I get 5 War Points, Only if he is still on the radar because of my active Scanner. This would encourage people to spec into them because the basic ones only leave people on radar for 5 seconds but some of the advanced ones leave them on radar for 16 seconds. Maybe less then 5 wp like 3-5 But hopefully CCP puts in a war point system for the scanners.
xLTShinySidesx UNOBTANIUM INC General Tso's Alliance 59	Posted - 2013.05.15 20:51:00 - [2] - Quote I haven't used one yet but I imagine they work wonders for orbital placement.
Spademan The Unholy Legion of Darkstar DARKSTAR ARMY 64	Posted - 2013.05.15 20:52:00 - [3] - Quote 5 seems a bit low, perhaps 10-15? (Never actually used the thing, but there has to be something awry with it if I've never seen anyone use it)
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 456	Posted - 2013.05.15 20:58:00 - [4] - Quote I'd be in favour of 10wp per scanned kill. They don't stay up for long. If you can get 35points for having a rep tool on someone who gets a kill, I don't think 10 is too much for marking them out.
Solarisjock One-Armed Bandits Heretic Initiative 32	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:00:00 - [5] - Quote oooo that might make dropship pilots happy as well, if they can fly around active scanning to reveal most of the enemy assets they can rake in the WP. all the while providing great intel to the infantry... total support on this
N1ck Comeau Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 363	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:02:00 - [6] - Quote Actually 10 would be to much, i've had mine light up 5-8 enemies only to have them all wiped out seconds later, And for OB there sooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I had no idea where to drop one one time and one of my squad mates was like hold up he scanned found 6 guys and boom 6 man Ob

Arkena Wyrnspire Turalyon Plus 312	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:07:00 - [8] - Quote Yes please - I'm loving the active scanner, and it genuinely is very useful. It'd be nice to incentivize this playstyle further. I think 5 is a bit low when it requires a kill, but I wouldn't mind, as it gives an element of satisfaction to scanning. Dropships need some WP first though.

The thing is why would you get war points for pointing out a few enemies. It would be nice, but there was the argument about the scanner equipment and I guess people who dont care about it, went for no warpoints. Because CCP would probably been considered it... All in all I agree with warpoints just so more people would use it.
Arramakaian Eka Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 520	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:08:00 - [10] - Quote This belongs in suggestions forum. More discussion and info on Active Scanners here.

Tolen Rosas Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 173	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:50:00 - [11] - Quote solid idea.
N1ck Comeau Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 364	Posted - 2013.05.15 21:55:00 - [12] - Quote I don't see why 5 is to little. Maybe 10 would be fine after all.
Kaze Eyrou ROGUE SPADES EoN. 202	Posted - 2013.05.15 22:19:00 - [13] - Quote 8-10 WP for a scanned enemy getting killed is in the works. A Dev posted in another forum; don't have the link at the moment though. Can someone post the one I'm thinking of?
RydogV Shadow Company HQ 170	Posted - 2013.05.15 22:58:00 - [14] - Quote I am all for a spotting bonus on the Active Scanner.
Goat of Dover Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 165	Posted - 2013.05.15 23:20:00 - [15] - Quote I'm down for it as well. Usually I it for spotting my next stalk but, I use it to help my team often as well pointing out approaching ambushes. Great equipment though love it.

A Dev posted in another forum; don't have the link at the moment though. Can someone post the one I'm thinking of? 10 seems fair.... Assuming every clone killed (80) was scanned by you, you'd get 640 WP's at 8 WP's/scanned kill and 800 WP's at 10/scanned kill.
N1ck Comeau Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 364	Posted - 2013.05.16 01:01:00 - [17] - Quote After some consideration i believe 10 is a fair amount of war points to get.
Chinduko KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 64	Posted - 2013.05.16 03:33:00 - [18] - Quote Give 25 assist points to any player killed while they are sill popped in the time the scan shows them on the map.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 3012	Posted - 2013.05.16 03:40:00 - [19] - Quote I'm in favour of a 10 point "Scan Assist" bonus. I don't think it should be the standard +25, because you did no actual damage to the target. Also, there are times when that bonus disappears if enough people hit the same target at once. Having its own bonus would help reduce this. Or have a 25 point bonus, but you can only get it once for each scan that results in any number of successful kills. But that would reduce the value of finding multiple targets at once, so maybe not.
Val'herik Dorn SyNergy Gaming EoN. 552	Posted - 2013.05.16 03:45:00 - [20] - Quote 10 is a good point reward not so much that it becomes broken but enough of a reward that it is worth it. You get 10 for giving people ammo to waist shooting at what they hope is a dood. But the scanner actually gives them a dood to shoot.
