Placing Sensory Chambers

StoatBringer

<div class="IPBDescription">be sneaky</div> As a marine, if I see an invisible alien (erm.. when they become visible, that is) it tells me that there must be a sensory chamber nearby, so I start searching the corners and walls of the room until I find it and knife it. I've seen lots of marines do this. As a gorge, the impulse is to hide sensories in corners where they won't be tripped over and discovered easily, but marines know this and look in those places first.

So, use the vents whenever possible. There are lots of spaces in the vent systems where there is room to drop a sensory. It will cloak nearby aliens and is very unlikely to be found by the marines. Other good places would be under walkways, on top of crates or ceiling pipes that marines can't get to easily (until they get jetpacks, anyway).

Even if you're not a gorge, it will often pay to temp gorge and drop a sensory somewhere if you have the spare res.

True. Try the horseshoe vent- so far it has been very helpful in denying the marines their rt.

A good Comm who send a couple Marines clear a path would scan, see the bloody sens and put a Waypoint on it for the Rines to take down. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> (learned from Licho) <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

IN the holoroom hologram is great, who'd ever check there?

Also on railings, anywhere not on the ground is great. But not on RT's...

I check the holorom hologram every time. One of the ones that I saw which worked very well was on the VERY edge of the walls where the computers are in holo room, so the chamber was hanging over the walkway. Marines checked it three times (w/ lmg) before they finally managed to hit the thing. I guess the easiest way to place it is to try and think of, were you a marine, where you would check, and don't put it there.
