well this is actually not a bad idea.
just look at the real life (yea i know, bad word). a radar is a active scanner. you emmit radar waves that let you detect your target, but on the other hand you also give away your position because everybody can dectect your radar signal.
so maybe we should seperate active detection from passive detection. so basicly we could make 2 modules out of it.
one with passive detection. basicly what we have atm. something that increses our ability to see other things. no active detection. just beeing able to better see others. but maybe we want to give that one a little less effect. cause this is the stealth variant. you will still have a better detection as someone with no module.
and the second that is a active scanner. it has a certain range and in that range you can see basicly everything cause this is a active scanner. the disadvantage is of cource that everything else in range also sees you and has a big ping when you activate it.
p.s.: always nice to see when ppl that see their current status quo "threatend" respond with defensive flame instead of constructive critic. oh wait thats a bad word too...
