Sentry Camera

Post by Homer Anderson » 14 Aug 2015, 23:43

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Cameras that you can set on the floor. (It may or may not be destroyed by aliens.)

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):Will give more control to Bridge Staff and the Squad Leader. It will also allow player could watch a blind spot without sending troops. Capacity spot a coming attack and better prepare for it, etc., depending on the strategy they use.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Put a few cameras and one tool that allows the Squad Leader can view them remotely (and the Bridge Officer at the console). He can put them and take them off the ground at any time. (3 is a good number)

Imagine you playing as Bridge Officer, rather than launching a shuttle without knowing if there are aliens in LZ, you can simply check a sentry to make sure it's safe.

Imagine being the only Squad Leader defending the FOB, place a sentry in the south, one in storage and another in LZ ready. Now you can focus your soldiers only in two directions (north / west) and yet will know when aliens begin to attack the other.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Codes?

It may be a little more, but perhaps it would be interesting the possibility of cameras blow their whistles whenever without a ID someone pass in range of them, something like a motion sensor, would be useful.

"Oh, is my hand TV beeping, there must be enemies in the LZ, better send some soldiers to check"

Sorry for bad English, still improving

This is actually a good idea.

However, to make it kosher for the aliens, I'd probably make it breakable, but still a little tough.

I like drone, >.> :) It was going to happen on P**netS*de, but shit happen. I still like drone, they go spying on alien's activity.
Maybe if you can capture one as an WEYLAND YUTANI's request and implant a GPS/Camera, that'd be neat.
