[Equipment] T-Analyzers detect aliens in pipes

Post by KingKire » 20 Mar 2017, 23:33

Summary :
When using a t-analyzer over a pipe with an alien(Maybe humans eventually^^) inside, It will detect a large "blockage" in the pipe, with a small sprite or sound notice of some sort.

Benefits:
-Engineers can now detect xenos moving through pipe systems in their small 3x3 view
-T-analyzers have more use to them (If you knew the ships pipe layout, there is no reason to bring it along)

Details:
-When a xeno is under an active T-analyzer, Either a sound will play or show a *Blocked* sprite over the pipe
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...


...

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!


~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~

I like this idea, I'm not sure exactly how it would be implemented though. Perhaps when the T-ray scanner went over a pipe spot where a xeno is located the pipe could be just colored red or something.

+1 Sounds cool and can give humans an active way to track and narrow down a ventcrawler's location, instead of wandering around pointlessly and waiting for the alien to crawl out on its own. I can't believe how I never thought of this before.

Neat idea but I don't this is an ability standards should have. Perhaps limit it to engineers, MPs, SL, possibly others?

+1 Makes perfect sense and gives t-analyzers a bit more use.
