What's the purpose of this change? It's an illusion of choice if you do the math at all.
Reveal what you're in to keep your current scan strength, or stay cloaked and eat the nerf.
Soniclover, perhaps you didn't figure out that small and pointless kicks in peoples' nuts were stupid after the whole ESS debacle. Thankfully, you can heed everybody's words here--just like then--and maybe rethink how you want to go about doing this. |

Under the new system you either take an annoying, pointless nerf or get completely fucked over.
Oh, this isn't the original ESS thread. Then why does that statement still apply so well? |

"Guys there are 8 probes on scan within 4 AU, I think we're getting probed"
But if you change it, it'll turn into:
"Guys there are 8 probes on scan AND A BUZZARD HOLY **** STOP EVERYTHING GAME OVER MAN"
?
You should probably stick to devising ways to kill CFC supers without violating Botlord because you clearly have no understanding of wormhole space hunting.
Competent people enter a hole, launch probes, cloak, move them out of d-scan range of objects in the solar system, and proceed to locate their target's anomaly using d-scan. Once that happens, the probes get extended to 16/32 AU with the target just at the edge of that range and overlapped to get a signal, and/or the probes are moved directly in a small formation onto the suspected target anomaly.
Nobody even remotely competent is going to decloak to get an extra 5-10% scan strength. Every single person who argues that they will is someone who does not spend significant time in wormholes or is engaging in wishful thinking.
What this change will accomplish is slightly diminished scan strength for people with good scanning skills, and greatly diminished scan strength for people with poorer scanning skills. People will not fit useless modules, which the mid-slot scanning modules will become once you have to decloak to use them.
If you're trying to nerf combat probing, this is an idiotic idea. People in highsec don't give a damn about being decloaked. People in lowsec and nullsec don't really either, since local already announced that they're there. This change affects purely people in wormhole space, who rely on being cloaked and undetected to hunt targets.
So thanks. Thanks a lot. Wormhole space totally needed this nerf. You've greatly improved gameplay with this.
P.S. add more frigates to nullsec anomalies, I hear that's also a great idea |
