Essentially these reveal players on the map with different strengths, some have longer range and others show targets for longer.
What it boils down is that no one uses them because - while useful - dont have much in line for rewarding the support given, unlike all other forms of Equipment.
So, what do you guys think about giving 5/10 WP if a target is killed while revealed under the scan duration? This can be as short as 5.0 seconds for less powerful variants or 25.0 seconds for others, as an example. |

Considering that its only 5 points per kill a Skirmish match would only be 500 points if you scanned every single clone, repair tools and nanohives give more points than this would lol. |

I personally enjoy the reaction it gets from my corp mates whenever they see more red than a Bluedot Tampon can handle =) |

A very nice idea. But should only work on targets the scanner reveals and for the time. If they are spotted and then you scan no points or else people will just spam these when others are killing.
Essentially, yes. That 5.0 second window is a bit narrow though, maybe from the point they start taking damage to the point they recover, much like how Kill Assists work.
Yanno unless youve specced intothem and got the one that put them on the map for 25 seconds O.o |

[quote=TheLastAlive105]no the scan time is fine dont change it we dont want people spamming it for points[quote]
Its five WP.... Even if you scanned every player in a Skirmish match before they died youd still only get 750 total WP. Its much more efficient to spam Drop Uplinks/Nanohives and use a repair tool if youre going for points |

But if this comes before dropship WP.... Grrrr.
Lawl - Dropship Pilots need spawn points like drop uplinks to give incentive to use onboard or module based CRUs. Add some Recon points for the Active Scanner use and a Dropship can go a long way =) |
