Ship scans: a proposal

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I'd like to be able to scan enemy systems. I would be quite an asset in PvP battles. It will also be great to know what capabilities my allies have. Battle would be more strategic.

For enemy ships, an opponent shouldn't be able to scan all of the systems. For example, if I scan a klingon BoP I would receive information that it has two dual heavy disruptor cannons, a photon torpedo launcher, a list of some devices, and a few unknown slots, depending on my ship's class, deflector, BO ect.

Science vessels would not only offer better scans, but subsystem targeting could be revamped in order to make it possible to disable components, weapons, consoles and even devices (imagine taking out a ship's shields, or impulse engines).

It would require a small change to the interface and some balance tweaking, but, what the hell, I'd like the feature. it would also make scanning, subsystem targeting and science consoles much more important, and science ships much more fun.
