The ship scanner with possibility to be used when yours vehicle is cloaked (aka Covert Ops Ship Scanner) while doing some dirty-bad-spy actions can be a powerful tool for people who builds dastardly plans and will add some variety to life ant tactics of Covert Ops pilots.
I know that this idea was posted here 3 or more times and a lot of clarifying comments where added. So mb the time has come? |

You know, as you can't target anything while cloaked...

Actually I am not thinking about "How" it shoud be working. I dont think that this part of the game mechanics is my problem. It is obvious that this innovation shoud not give any other superiority except possibility to scan ship secretly. This will bring espionage part in pvp tactics to the new level.
At the same time, tool like this can destroy some of the "bait fitted" tactics. This seems for me a bigger problem. |

If you hand out intel with no risk or too little effort, it creates a balance issue.
At the very least, the ship being scanned should know the moment they are scanned. (Sensor equivalent of having a bright light shining onto them) This should also allow the scanned vessel to target the cloaking vessel for the next 30 seconds, since it blew up it's location by doing this to that specific ship. Quite simply, the scanning gives the target vessel enough data to know the exact origin of the beam, and we all know if the cloaked vessel is locked it cannot cloak, so this would decloak it as a risk consequence. Cloaking being on a ten minute manual cycle timer? (Author: Bree Okanata) Fine. As long as there is a ten minute timer for being docked in a station. Also, you can't stop moving in the game. Just add in a way so every ten minutes you are randomly warped to the nearest other player. Keeps people from going AFK. |
