One fun thing that gets overlooked by many players of Extinction is the scout. If you get a high level BP you can make a pretty awesome little tool that's great for a hundred different uses. The scout's vision is awesome, but it falls short in one major way: Information. I think that adding the ability of a scout to detect the level of something at a distance, like a spyglass can, would make it immensely useful. Any thoughts?

Something people don't seem to know about Scouts is that you can press X (on PC, I don't know the console button equivalent) to show the target player's ID and some other info I believe.

You're right, it does provide player level and name at a distance when you press X. That's a neat function, but seems almost PvP exclusive in its uses. None the less, I had no idea so thanks.

Shame it doesn't do anything like that for dinos too.

That's a neat idea though. I'll mention it.
