How about when a Squad Leader (like me) gives you 50 more...is there a cap on how much you can use?

Frankly i don't see why people are so excited, the maskscent/camoflage already gives bonuses for your posture and the chance of being detected as it is. The devs haven't done anything more than increase the bonus i think. It's very easy to see that crawling already makes you harder to detect since animals like Merek and Aranae warriors have a habit of detecting a ghost scent of you from 64m away and dashing to the location where you were standing or running past. As soon as you go prone and start crawling around they don't even flinch. Considering how i use the Ranger skills to help me gather DNA samples for my bio-eng crafting I need to get within 15m of these things and usually if I do it while standing up the more sensitive creatures come scuttling over and aggro to me. Ifapporch from 64m while prone I can get right next to them without being detected.

Well I'm sure you've all read the Ranger, and probably Scout, correspondent replies. Well I don't know how many people noticed what I did, so I'm just gonna reitterate it.

(From scout dev) - The chance to successfully mask scent is now modified by your posture and locomotion. If you are prone (moving or not), you get a 15% bonus. If you are running, you get a 10% penalty. If you are walking, you get a 5% penalty.

This is quite a nice thing for us rangers, finally the faster crawling speed actually matters! At master ranger we can crawl as fast as a normal person can walk, which means we instantly have a 20% bonus over any master scouts at masking scent. Not to mention I really think this same bonus will apply to our Camoflauge skill when using the /conceal command on ourselves and others. Meaning we can crawl by NPC's as well.

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but it is something positive to think about and actual makes the faster crawling speed sorta useful.
