AureusVulpes Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Let's face it, once people complete their codex, it's unlikely they ever use Helios again (players not concerned with codex need not apply). What then? Is Helios doomed to rot ion the Liset? A forgotten scholar of the field, left unemployed when information is no longer valuable? Nay, I say! Even if niche, I suggest that Helios be able to continue scanning the lilies and threshcones on Earth to create antitoxins and/or health restores for the player. It would at least allow Helios to garner some use beyond his initial window, and maybe warrant a few formas from the playerbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedemon Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Helios has the most powerful weapon which is exclusive for him, that said he should get another precept and switch scan to a general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidPunch Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 He already does this. My items scans are well over their cap. Unless this is a bug I'm experiencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took mine to Earth to collect these with the precept installed. I stood in front of a cone and he did nothing. Yes, I had scanners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG3000 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It only scans the plants as long as their codex page is not done. Therefore a "herbalist" precept was suggested some time ago. Would be also cool to have a "spotter" precept, which would just ping at closest/most dangerous enemy without scanning them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) MY Helios was helpful not just for codex - i knew corrupt bombards and nullies were coming , he warned me so i get careful before themProblem is, the scanning and x-ray vision ceases once your scans are maxed out.I liked the old, buggy Helios far more than our current one because of its combat utility. For those who don't remember, it would activate a scan on a target whether it was maxed out or not, and during the scan, it would highlight all nearby enemies and interactive objects in orange (similar to what you see when you manually use the Scanner). It was great for spotting enemies behind cover or behind closing doors, and synergized AMAZINGLY with punchthrough weapons. I think our current Helios should go back to this. Not wasting scanners on completed enemies or anything, but highlighting all nearby enemies in green/orange while scanning something. And if everything nearby has its scans maxed out, it just picks the nearest target and begins a mock scan that triggers the x-ray vision without adding any more scans to the codex.
