I was scanned by an Imperial stormtrooper recently.
When he discovered I was a rebel, he and his 10 other
stormtrooper buddies opened fire! I got a TEF and
turned covert. I got away, but as I reached a rebel
recruiter I was killed by an Imperial Master Bounty
Hunter.

I am on Tempest server, which is extremely rebel
dominated. Is this an attempt to even the sides?

Also, how can I check my overt/covert status? And if
I go covert, how can I get back to overt?

Ha ha, obviously you have been playing a short time! This is the leftover
of the Imperial Crackdown, which was released a while ago. The only way to
get back to covert is to have a recruiter or NPC reset you to covert. By
the way, Imps that do hang around pouncing on hapless players like that are
known as Ganks! Kill all ganks!

Don't you go back to covert automatically after the TEF goes away?

Nope I don;t think you do. I think you have to visit a recruiter and
choose to go back Covert. But I could be wrong.

Hit Cnontro-C to bring up your character sheet In the top right corner
it will tell you your status.

Think of it like this:

Your the spy for angency X.
Agency Y discovers who you are (spy/enemy/not one of us or newts) and puts
out a notice (overt status) to all units.
You have to go back to your agency X to get a new cover/identity.

make sense? good, cause it doesnt to me....gonna blame lack of sleep x_x

You can check your status on ctrl-c.

The scan puts you overt, so you have to talk to a recruiter to go covert
again and it will take about an hour. It's part of the imperial crackdown.
You can evade them by not using spice or sliced weapons / armor. Being
neutral would eliminate being made overt but you can still be scanned and if
the imps find contraband you'll be fined. Smugglers have additional chances
to evade the search.

Once you're made overt, you're open game. Head for the closest recruiter or
the closest doc for buffs. Get your armor on, pull out your best weapon and
watch for blue dots.

Just a side note, if you kill all the imperials before they complete
the scan you will just get the TEF and not go overt. I have done this
the last three times they have started scanning me and it works
perfectly. They are usually all very weak and easy to kill, especially
if you have an AOE attack. Hope this helps.

Right. If you are scanned, you are turned overt. If you run, you are
turned overt. In either case, unless you are into PVP, it basically
wastes an hour of your time, or you get killed. The best thing to do is
shoot at him as soon as you are scanned, get the TEF and run like hell.
Getting a TEF and waiting 5 mins is better than finding a recruiter and
hiding out for an hour.

If you are overt or have a TEF (especially with a TEF, since same-side
people can't tell), please let the Doc know that they will get a TEF
from you. Nothing is worse than getting killed by trying to help
somebody else with healing and not realizing you are making yourself
free game. It is quite a bit better with the TEF icon available, but
still a pain.

As another side note, having a vehicle out when being scanned can be a
bad thing if Imp players are around. The first thing I do when I get
scanned is stop, and store my vehicle. For some reason, some people
like nothing more than killing the AV-21 you had to work for... (there
is a Dark Jedi that hangs out around a base complex that is set up as a
playground area, he loves destroying vehicles).

Once you have been scanned (and God help you if you run, that just confirms
it) you should get a message telling you that you have to visit a faction
recruiter to get back to covert. And if you get smoked, as I did by 12
troopers and an AT-ST, you still have overt status when you reclone.

Cheers
