very simply a scanner that will scan the stargate and let you see what is on the other side of it.. hereby bringing some kind of tactic element into the game, other then "alt scouts" (which means suicide scouts if there is a big camp) and at the same time will "force" gatecamps to use a more diverse approach to catch bigger ships...
personally i think it should just be a "on most ship" (without taking a slot, simply a natural thing for them to be able to do).

Something like this would be great, a module, a drone, a probe, something. Depending on how it was implemented, it could be a good tool for campers as well. And if it's counterable (via destruction, or interference, whatever) all the better for gameplay.

That I completely disagree with. If somebody wants such a powerful ability, there should be some sort of sacrifice, even if it's just a module and fittings, a disposable charge, or a part of their drone bay.
The information should also be limited or fallible. The best option for scouting should always be a real scout, not a piece of equipment.

I'd love to see Stargate Probes that are launched with a probe launcher. You fire them at a stargate, they fly to it, when in jump range they jump to the next system just like a normal ship. There they fly back towards the gate again while scanning, doing a 5, 15 0r 50 km directional scan, depending on the probe quality. When in jump range again they jump back and uncloak. Any player with the probe skill then can access the probe and look at the scan result.
The gate campers have two ways to counter the probe while it's flying back to the gate: 1) Shoot the probe. The probing player will know that someone is on the other side of the gate but won't know what awaits exactly. 2) Hack the probe. With a hacking module a player can access the probe and remove one entry per hacking skill level. That way the campers can make the camp look less dangerous or even remove all ships from the scan list if the camp is small enough and the hacker is skilled high enough.
I think this would give more tactical opportunities than "scouting alt away!".

when you enter a system with 100 ships on gate you decloak instantly, and while the system is trying to load the data for your client you die, and ur pod dies, then when it finishes loading, it starts loading a new screen and you buy a clone......
But yea, I guess that's what covops are for :/....

Instead of CovOps, throw in a low-skill newb char. If it dies instantly, then there's something nasty over there. Net loss: 1 shuttle/velator. If several of the party carry along an alt, there's several spares....just in case. _______________________________
