in game scan request feature

I'm thinking it should be possible to request a scan in game & have that request relayed to anyone who's tagged as an in game alliance scanner.

Similar to the new alliance mail waiting & new incoming reported alerts.

Once the scans been done, the alert turns off & the scan URL is relayed to the planet that requested it.

Simplify the proccess, so if you're online at work, you don't have to either be on irc or bug someone through the in game mail for a scan.


:-) basically I think anything anyone designs outside tools to accomplish should be integrated in game.

Re: in game scan request feature

For the love of god just don't implement it


Actually I doubt I'll pay attention to the first weekend of pa so fire away, a rollback should only benefit me!

Re: in game scan request feature

This suggestion is cool, but it's only a partial solution that dodges the real problem with scans, which I've highlighted about a dozen times by now.

Re: in game scan request feature

This is a brilliant idea.

The main reason I was reluctant to return to PA (and the reason I'm only playing as cov opper) is because I hate the way you have to logon and find a scanner at 8am-10am in the morning. While it's all quite exciting, it can be a real pain in the ass when you have limited internet access and can only get on in 5 minute windows.

This would be a really useful addition to the game.

Re: in game scan request feature

My only problem with this suggestion is that it's far too biased towards alliances.

Players starting the game without an alliance are still going to have an absolute nightmare trying to get scans whilst regular players will get things even easier. It doesn't fix the scanning problem, it just hides it for certain players.
