At first glance, this sounds reasonable. To me, at least.

But having looked into the numbers, satisfying this request would require a massive buff to Assault Precision (50dB --> 38 dB), a massive nerf to Scout Profile (35 dB --> 42 dB) or some combination of the two. If we did this, we'd end up creating new problems at the low end of the dB spectrum, where dampened Scouts will find themselves getting scanned regardless of how many dampeners they stack. If the past is any indication, precision beating profile at the low-end of the spectrum leads to EWAR imbalance.

So how can we address the high-end of the spectrum (where "assault lite" lives) without disrupting balance at the low-end of the spectrum?

I'm wondering how a buff to the 28 dB scanners might play out ... not so much for GA Logis, but for the other guys (like Assault or Commando) who are demanding the ability to scan undampened Scouts. Working out the math ...

The undampened GA/CA Scout Profile is 27 dB uncloaked, 25 dB adv cloaked and 24 dB proto cloaked. If the 28 dB scanner were buffed to 24 dB, it would scan single-damped MN and AM Scouts. Not good. If it were buffed to 25 dB, it would not scan single-damped scouts (unless wielded by the counter-recon specialist GA Logi) ...

A 25 dB proto scanner would scan at 19 dB when wielded by a GA Logi. This would paint all single-damped (dodged by GA/CA if proto cloaked) but would not paint any double-damped Scouts.

This seems reasonable to me. It'd satisfy the demand to curb undampened Scouts without mucking up competitive EWAR. What do you guys think?

Grow my own spices, and supplement what i can't grow through the farmers market

Lucky enough to live near the river so I have great soil and a good compost heap to supplement.
Let's see I have
Cilantro
three varieties of Mint (one tastes like chocolate mintGǪ that **** on lamb is fantastic )
Dill
Coriander
The holy trinity of spices Rosemary, Sage, Thyme
A bunch of other stuff that I am forgettingGǪ

We are lucky and have a good garden.
Though my pumpkins failed this year
So taking the kids out to the patch next week
Yes Spade the potatoes did fine have to dig up the last batch tomorrow.

Have you reviewed Cross's thread on Commando pass?
Some interesting views in that one. have not made it through the whole thing myself.

Does the general experience of it count towards quality? I always find it so much tastier when I hunt it, skin it, gut it, and cook it myself all from scratch.

Hell even cooking for myself makes me feel like it tastes better than restaurants. I like to pretend I am some kind of chef lol but I am probably not as good as I think considering how biased I probably am to my own food.

@ Everyone

I truly believe Haerr is on to something; the more I think about his suggestion, the more I like it:

If Cloak is Active, set Scan Range = 0.

I think this would make gameplay much more interesting for us.
What do you guys think?

@ Cross Atu (or CPM1)

Before we put too many eggs into this basket, it'd be great to know if this can be accomplished via Hotfix. Coding is in place for Cloak to adjust a user's Scan Profile when active. Does existing code permit room to also adjust Scan Range and/or Scan Precision? If not, can existing logic be redirected to point to a metric other than Scan Profile, such as Scan Range or Scan Precision?

Will even harsher speed penalties on plates accomplish two things, slow down brick tanked scouts and make Commandos the same HP as brick tanked Aesaults yet naturally faster at the same eHP?

Makes sense from lore perspective, and it is true, the activation affects one scanning attribute.

Very interesting proposal indeed.

And messing with the Active scanner values **** over medium frames. If you decrease the proto scanner below 28 then there is no reason for a medium frame to use profile dampeners. . . and thanks to the gal logi precision bonus they can't participate regardless of how useful/OP or underperforming the EQ is.

I like it, I wish there was a way to say that if a plate was on a heavy frame, it gave lesser penalties, normal on assault, and more on scout.

Same for the shields, I feel.
