Topic: Chassis Scanner

You need to improve the amount of information this shows. 

For starters, you need to add in the total armor they have, and the accumulator amount they have at the time of the scan.   Maybe add in the over all amounts but I'm not so sure about the latter.

With that, they should cause PvP flag and should be able to save results.

Have a productive day, runner!

Re: Chassis Scanner

Save I'm ok with, PVP not so much.

On the fence on that one.

Bot information give too much knowlegde about an agent instead of a specific bot, as you could calculate the extension levels based on that information.
Would be same wrong as a "Terminal Storage scanner" which would be nice on beta, but would give far too much infos.

Re: Chassis Scanner

I dont like this idea, another idea would like better for chassis scanner.

Dont needed, low priority, and as Goffer said.

Energy to Earth!

I agree its not high Prio.  But too much info?  I strongly disagree.

If your that worried about people knowing what extensions you have then you should just stay in a arkhe.  As just getting to a bot gives out quite a bit of information. 

This is needed so that players have the option of knowing and combating shields.  As well as giving more options to Ictus Pilots. 

More information is not a bad thing as there is a trade-off of a head slot to get the information.  In a battle environment that is a good trade-off of any case.  If the player so chooses.

Re: Chassis Scanner

It would become standard equipment on any ictus. 

All that needs to be added in is the accumulator status.

Re: Chassis Scanner

i think the scanner should tell you who is FCing too

Re: Chassis Scanner

Were always in the business of comparing.

That other game has it and for some reason the sky does not fall.  smile

It works well there, and will work well in comparison here.
