cruxers Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 After Empyrean's release, it is nigh impossible to get any codex scans for the new Grineer space units without being bother to your team/dying/putting your Railjack into direct danger. Quite a lot of players out there chase Codex completions, me being one of them. I understand that this isn't a priority one change or addition, but please make it easier to get scans for these new enemies. Maybe have Simaris sell avionics that provide the pilot/gunner with a codex scan on kills, similar to him selling Astral Autopsy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacewalkerX Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 it would be easier if archwing meele was worth a damn in empyrean. Then we would at least have the option of using astral autopsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levantis Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I agree. Trying to scan a single ship is very difficult right now. It's like trying to take a picture of a single hornet, right after poking its nest with a rather sharp stick and all of its buddies are trying to sting you. In cases like this, I really wish that Helios had a precept that allowed scanning in space. Edited December 20, 2019 by Levantis Because kittens.

DrakeWurrum Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 If they hadn't broken Archwing melee... this wouldn't be a problem. Why can't my Archwing melee attack still dash to the target? Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I am 100% behind this. I was thinking of an avionic, that can be installed. Which would then scan any fighters, killed by the railjack's gunnery. It's just... Well, sometimes images speak for themselves: Spoiler It is quite an encumberance at this point.

Steel_Rook Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Don't bother with Mods or Avionics. Just add a Scanner function to the Pilot and Gunner seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benour Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Cant you just go in solo, spawn mobs by flying around with RJ, scan what you need and just abort? Edited January 24, 2020 by Benour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain about railjack, but with the rest of Warframe, scans do not count if abort or fail mission. If really need to scan, use amesha #1 for immortality and #3 for slow. However, I do not get the OCD, everything is already on wiki and there is no advantage to having it all scanned. Especially in Railjack where even the small aim bonus from Helios does not exist. It is a waste of time. Edited January 24, 2020 by Educated_Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not what it was, and not highly reliable, but it does it massively better than most of the other weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SauriaLizardqueen Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Not only is it hard to normally scan all the ships but to make things worse: -some ships (especially the outrider type) have a tiny scannable area (usually the tiny cockpit surrounded by the huge engines). -ramsleds (which are incredibly annoying by their mere existence) are ships to scan as well. So yeah, while having to only scan each ship 5 times max is a blessing, it's still painful. So what I can suggest is either a augment/variant of Particle Ram that scans on the killing blow, a "scanning turret", or drastically boosts arch-melee damage (in addition of fixing its homing dashes, as right now, it has become utterly useless/suicidal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeLaRo Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Helios could be deployed as support unit for Archwing? Just with a Mod unique for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, a completed codex entry is the only in-game way to see what enemies drop what S#&$. (no, you don't get to see the percentages, just that they can drop a thing) I've gotten thoroughly tired of being forced to check the wiki (and deal with it's assault-ads) for every single enemy I don't yet have scanned, just to find the ones that drop the mods I don't yet have. (and no, the elitist cry of "remember better" don't cut it. If that S#&$ worked I wouldn't be here. I'd be an accountant.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam686 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Things I like to see: 1. Allow scanners to scan outside through the windows from inside the Railjack. Maybe with a special "Scan through windows" synthesis scanner widget upgrade. 2. Helios Prime should automatically scan while outside in Archwing mode, maybe with a special mod. It can't scan while in Archwing, yet. 3. Allow use of gear wheel for Synthesis Scanner, while in Gunner or Pilot, to manually scan stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SauriaLizardqueen Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I learned something "funny" about ramsleds. I managed to use void cloak so one of these that targeted me would stop trying to ram me and allow me to scan it. Good news: you can lose them with void cloak quickly after you activate it. Bad news: those little *BEEP* self-destruct a few seconds after losing the lock. So you can forget trying to scan them when soloing, even if you rush to the exit ASAP. Also, despite what the codex says, it seems only the Kosma Outrider has an Elite version. I have yet to encounter an Elite Kosma Cutter, Taktis or Flak.

(PSN)ChanceyT803 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) Space is friction-less, so a widget adjusting scan time would be appreciated. With point and shoot to capture the scan in space would be a benefit as well as the other additional suggestions with helios or a "space helios".
