Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Doesnt happen a lot, but occasionally, mother will say 0 on ship and 0 on ground, even if theres still 1-2 alive. this shouldnt be a thing, there should be a min of 1 alien either on the ground or ship
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Marines get confused when mother says there are no hostiles. this fixes that.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
As summarised.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Coding.

Re: Fix mother scans.
It's an approximate, so it makes sense that it'll sometimes say that as it's never a 100% certain unless it's on board the ship.

Re: Fix mother scans.
yep, but marines dont understand its only approx, so if mother says 0, they think the round is over.

I am pretty sure in the message that it says "approximately" or an alternative word.Jaketeaking wrote:yep, but marines dont understand its only approx, so if mother says 0, they think the round is over.

It does, but having the scan have "1" at the absolute lowest would give marines a reason to remain planetside when the scan would normally say "0".Snypehunter007 wrote:I am pretty sure in the message that it says "approximately" or an alternative word.

Re: Fix mother scans.
It works as intended. It's only an approximation when it comes to the ground rather than the ship. Denied.
