Changes incoming, not directly to us but many things that will effect us

Such as Cloak Damp bonus will be goneGǪ

We've all seen the scanning table. Many of us have created our own or link people to Haerr's (as his is nice and pretty). Please point out of terrible an idea it is to take away the dampening bonus because of the unfair situation it puts onto Minmatar Scout.

You may need to report in this thread Ghost.

Folks, the scout cloaking discussion has been moved to a seperate post by Rattati. Devs are paying attention, make sure you have your say.

Otherwise it looks like some good changes.

Hopefully we'll soon see the FoTM crowd scrambling for another suit.
Agreed that removing cloak's damp bonus will hurt non-GalScouts.
Concerned that Minmatar will be further marginalized.

So everyone will be going to the Amarr suit.

Doubtful.
Though that is the suit Milkman runs when he isn't in a Blaster Tank.

sorry being sarcastic.
As a gallente scout with so many options I really wanted to take a nerf to keep the cloak dampening so the other scouts were not hosed.
But as Appia pointed out I am only a pub player and have no business trying to balance PC meta. So I left the battle to the PC meta crew to argue Gal vs Cal

Who's going to the Indy 500? lol

Inclined to agree with you.

They could've nerfed the GalScout alone, though brick-tanked Amarr and dual-tanked Caldari might have emerged as FoTM substitutes. Removing cloak's dampening bonus is effectively a nerf to all Scouts; it'll rule out substitutes and likely send FoTM-chasers into other frames.

That said, this is a big hit to Minmatar who were already under-performing.

Are you Void Faction?
Why the new alt?

Can't discuss moderation on the forums ;-)

Stupid question time.

Active scanners: how the **** do they work?

I see youtube vids where someone pops the scan and sweeps it side to side. But I read somewhere in these forums that scanners had been nerfed to a snapshot at the moment you hit the trigger on the scanner, to get rid of that 360 scan sweep thing.

I need a better understanding of that game mechanic to help me understand some other mechanics. Help?

Also, I'm kinda new here so I don't wanna **** up Rattati's scout/cloak feedback thread too much. BUT, would it not be a non-gamebreaking thing to give the Minnie Scouts at ADV and PRO levels another low and a bit more CPU/PG to allow for a damp? Seems to me from the discussion that Minmatar's the only scout suit particularly hurting for low slots?

With the weekly SP bonus cap, it sucks to have yet another skill I need to train to level 5 in order to get to a place where I could possibly be considered "competitive" for PC at some future time, but I've been playing Eve for 7 years - I'm used to needing another skill at level 5. It's just kinda meh having to wait for it that much longer because of the cap. Even if I was inclined to spend money on passive boosters, I still feel like a dog on a very short leash straining toward a bone held out of reach sometimes.

Anyway, yeah. Active scan mechanics was the main point of posting. I should eat something.

Didn't realize that this was possible.
