It's no secret that I want BAP made more useful. In the hopes that any input will be taken, I'm spinning off one of the most popular options from this thread I made.

So, what do you think - should BAP increase the size of the vision cone for mechs equipped with it?

To increase it's FOV would be to make it go beyond your own. You would be able to lock onto a target you can't see. Might as well make it a full 360 degree sensor FOV.

That counts as a yes! I just wrote it more generally to include multiple options.

I'm just not sure how I feel about it. Not sure what to do about the 360 Target Retention Module in this case either.

No.

You have a Mech Mastery unlock and a Pilot Skill unlock which handle this; "360 degree target retention".

That's all there is to it.

I think you've misunderstood what that module does. It doesn't actually increase the size of the sensor cone. It allows you to keep a lock you're gained within your vision cone when you turn away. It does nothing whatsoever for targets that are not locked. Completely different.
