can only be seen on d-scan when they are actively scanning/moving.
High skill requirement, possibly only used by t2 cloaky ships.

Discuss?

You got it backwards. I'll support it if it can only be used by non-cloaked ships.Cool

So you want to remove the tiny warning that ships being scanned down have? Not supported at all.

It used to be that you couldn't see probes on DScan at all. They added them to give people in wormholes a fighting chance IIRC.

Bad idea in practice, I think.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.

No. Covert probes will still be visible, but only half of the time. Only when they are actively used.

yeah so you can camp a gate with them in null sec. People cannot see them until they are actively scanning. Someone in a safe 200km off gate you see? Turn them on and they have an 10 second window for them to align and warp out.

To easy for gate campers.

Not supported.
