You don't seem to understand how the module works. It is only a mask not a cloak. |

I think it's a good thing, it will make for interesting game play, plus the module can be scanned so you'll know that something is there but you'll be unsure as to what is actually there, makes the role of scouts more important. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

I really see no practical use for the scan inhibitor other than traps. If you are hunting and see one, you would know one of two things. Someone has some bling they don't want you to see, or it's a trap. I just don't see much use for it other than for traps. Kind of like lighting the cyno when a frig gang is in system and smartbombing them (if they fall for it and fly into your bubble). |

the idea of the module is to cloak whats there, not to prevent it from showing. it creates risk for the attackers... they could be landing on a deadspace pocket with a few pve ships and crappy t1 logis, or landing on a grid filled with tons of 720mm at the edge of optimal ready to blap them.
i think its great, and it will be used mainly by people baiting lowsec pvp heroes to their deaths.
eventually some carebears will use them to pretend they aren't flying a drake or some other crap, and lowsec pirates will have to leave them alone or take the gamble. |

That's what cloaked scouts are for.
There's a business opportunity in this for an enterprising scout. Combine probe scanning, cloaked warping and Twitch TV and you have a perfect intel gathering setup that your friends/clients can see the results of directly.

Try to think out of the box and think about how you can use new tools to your advantage instead of thinking of how they put you at a disadvantage and make easy kills harder.
This module will greatly increase subterfuge tactics. |

It's a big box. A big OBVOIUS box. There's no telling what's *inside* the box, but the box it self is entirely obvious, and there's NOTHING stopping you from going to take a look and see what's inside the box.
EVE is Dying?[tm] Nope. Don't think so. Just another toy in the ever expanding chest of interesting-but-limited toys CCP is giving us. Should be some serious fun-n-games to come.

AND it can all be sumerized as "pull down ur pants and bend over, cuz u have no intel lolololololo" If you go up to an obvious trap like a big obvious box and flip it over without taking some basic precautions, you deserve what you get. I see *nothing* in the module description that prevents you from gathering intelligence - you'll just have to do it with a scout. In person, instead of halfway across the system. OooOOoh! Difficult!
Not. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Inside deadspace, yes - no intel until a suicide scout jumps in to identify what's there before being rapidly killed; and since these are just announced and not finalised yet, I hope CCP has the dev sense to balance them somehow in deadspace.
Outside deadspace though, covert ops become an important part of operations and this opens up some opportunities for gameplay that personally, I like (except for the deadspace aspect above).

Deadspace is an obvious issue, but my initial response to that is "Send something like an Inty in, land, scan, and burn like a lunatic." Even if that's not viable, I'm pretty sure tactics will develop to deal with the situation. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short.

Approaching these from a safe is unlikely to hit a bubble.
Make safes first before warping in and it should be ok. I would be wary of warping directly from celestials, gates and stations, but then my other character doesn't scan from these locations either. It's always from a safe made either just before scanning, or previously made.
However if someone is vigilent/OCD/paranoid/smart/bored enough to place a full sphere of bubbles around one, then good luck to them. My bad if I lose a ship and that's part of the game. For the most part though I find people do the least amount that is still effective, so it's unlikely that there will be bubbles on an approach from a well made safe. |

Kind of like lighting the cyno when a frig gang is in system and smartbombing them (if they fall for it and fly into your bubble). Seems to me it would be good for disguising changes in fleet configuration, and as a staging area for fleets, pre-combat. Which are, I suppose, forms of trap. But not forms that involve ambushing someone up-close and personal.
In either case, the intelligence game becomes much more active and dangerous - You have intelligence assets which now need to be actively defended against intrusion by highly-capable and determined scouts, so things become... Interesting. Once your opponent sees what's inside the box, the box becomes useless - So expect a spirited defense.
Also useful for disguising Tower defensive configurations... Which is, I suppose, also a form of trap, but is more a defensive intelligence-denial kind of trap.
Or, they could be your various gank-traps for the unwary. Which will become notorious so fast that most folks will stay far away. But some will come nosing around to see if they can break your shiny trap.
IOW: Content.
