Commander view / Observatory

UncleCrunch

I was testing with a bunch of bots. I did find something weird. Somebody did talk about that i believe, but here is the example.

I was doing this:

but in fact it was this:

I had to scan it to see there was actually something in that room... goof times...

The point is the obs should at least show something in the commander view. Any field unit see it when the observatory is alive. Why the commander cannot ? Ho, and you see what a field unit sees. If he looks at the hive you see it.

So basically you need an observatory to make marines (on the field) able to see it in order for the commander to see it on his screen. hmmm... i have a hard time to find out why.

When the obs detects aliens/structures you'll see the circles on your screen, and red dots on you minimap. But you need a scan or marines on the field for visual confirmation. It's always been like this. Or are you saying there were marines watching in that direction (though I only see one bot humping the wall, facing the wrong direction), and you still didn't see what it was? If so, maybe that could be due to the shade in there?

Shade should be countered by obs. If i go out and phase there i see clearly all alien structures. But when i'm in the chair, it's a different story.

It is the same when 2 skulks bite an obs. You see the circles and red dots but a marine has to spot the aliens so you can tell the lifeform.

Then it's working as intented.

Nope it just sucks. It would be ok if you saw some kind of echo (sonar, echo-graphy style) in commander view. I'm not playing this game on minimap/map...
