As a Logi bro, I stay behind the lines; repping, ammo dumping and reviving but mostly I use the Active Scanner; to help spot where the opposition is and see if they are looking to flank left or right. I get my squad and team a ton of kills spotting targets but yet, I get no reward for it!
What IGÇÖm suggesting is that; being rewarded war points for spotting enemy players (as long as a team member gets the kill on that spot). Something little like 10 WPGÇÖs to actually make the Active Scanner seem worthwhile. I guess it would be similar to how spotting works in battlefield 3.
P.S. The GÇÿno margin for errorGÇÖ is annoying; as it works everytime. |

Aren't you already getting points for rezzing, repping, dropping hives and uplinks, when your squad go after these enemies you spotted?
Yes I am getting points for above the said, but thats not the point. Sometimes I often exclusively run the Active Scanner but the point here is; currently there is no rewarded WPGÇÖs for using the Active Scanner and no real incentive for anyone to use or skill into it.

Interesting, I have always wondered if it was due to something like that. + 1 from me. |

darkiller240 wrote:+1 what about the scanner on the viecles ?
As far as IGÇÖm aware they work the same and should gain the same rewards. Although the distances with Vehicle Active Scanners are slightly out of alignment; 100 meters in a vehicle, feels and acts like 25-30 meters. |

Very useful I can't believe I never used them before. Once activated it sends a slow pulse in an arc in front of you at 90-30 degrees (depending on the scanner), any enemy player caught in that pulse gets highlighted for everyone minimap for a limited amount of time. (The advanced A-45 Quantum holds them on there for 16 seconds!) There's a cooldown between usages too.
It's great to use if you're running solo; looking to hack objectives, use it to see if anyone is hiding around the corner or to find out where is best to drop an Orbital. |

I would prefer we stick to the subject at hand and stop this silly bickering..... At the end of the day its all constructive criticism and helps develop ideas for ourselves and CCP to develop upon. |

This sounds way OP and a lot of people would exploit the points. For instance you could just sit back in the red-line and farm WPGÇÖs without ever joining the fight and everyone on the other side could do the same. It would just turn into a battle of who can scan the most etc |

No, its would still be OP. And then you would get people [Requesting] for the WP cool down to be nerfed. I think sticking to 10% of a kill; 5 WPGÇÖs is enough.
The reason why I requested about this; was to give some recognition for the use of the item. Not to make it into something where people could exploit and farm WPGÇÖs out of it. |

Don't suppose you have a linky to your posting or reply from dev?
