Open Feedback / Motion Scanner is a human version of Mind Probe

« on: April 13, 2021, 03:34:26 pm »

Well, how do they "scan" motions in the first place? Imo, humanity does not have much tech to get about it.

This sophisticated device uses a variety of detectors and advanced computer algorithms to identify moving enemy units.

My idea is to research Motion Scanner after we get hands on Mind Probe.

Lore and Justification:
Since Mind Probe reads creature's stats by probing into its "brain" (Live or Cyber). Mind Probe pretty much can estimate distances to any readable target or simply read its location on map. Key difference between Mind Probe and Motion Scanner would be similar to that of antenna - MindProbe is strictly directional and able to focus on the object at far distances while MotionScanner is omni-directional thus its range is really limited but detection is more like WiFi-covered area.

I searched the forum but did not see that MScanner was ever dependable on Mind Probe research however it brings novelty and explanation to that item.

Open Feedback / Items Limit and Lightning Craft

Do you even play with vanilla 80 item limit? It's hilarious to impose that artificial boundary but I do prefer sticking to it. Allows for tactical challenge)

Lately, I'm thinking to justify Lightning (I also like it because of the door thing) by raising the items limit to 100. Kinda fresh craft, issues of the older rented craft resolved by engineering and they were so kind to squeeze in a couple more crates for gear. Avenger, on the other hand, is more packed for people/hwp therefore its limit could stay as 100 or barely raised to 110.

Under the proposed limit, Lightning would be a great craft for Night missions. Its name kinda fits)
What do you say, Commander?
