Siege And Scanner Sweeps?

ShadowXOR

<div class="IPBDescription">I don't get it.</div> From the sound of the changelog you will only be able to scan like ones every few minutes...which makes it sound like your going to need like 10,000 observatories before you can ping a hive to death. Yes there is marine LoS but it's nice to be able to ping them as well if you lose your marines... Any word on how that will work?

And also, do you need to click each observatory individually to scan from that one? That could be confusing knowing which observatories are charged and which are not if you have a lot of them. Hopefully there is some kind of visual indicator?

The obs has max of 100 energy.

Scan is 25 energy

4 scans per obs.

Or you could just sight the structures your siegeing ;)

MT was the tech that is constant once researched. Sweep takes 25 and the energy slowly regens, and so you know, mulitple obs were something that was being encouraged.

does the number of observatories increase the amount of energy (1-100, 2-200, 3-300...) or increase the recharge rate (1 - 10 energy per sec, 2 - 20, 3 - 30)?

Sounds like the idea here is to encourage the following:

<ul>
<li>LOS sighting by marines
<li>Building multiple obs for more scanner power
<li>Building multiple siege turrets for more damage per ping
</ul>

Sound about right?

Well, I am pretty sure that it does regenerate faster and the max energy is more with the more obs, the only thing I would like to ask is if you need to select each individual obs for their energy or is the energy sent to a general pool?
