Make cameras available for upgrades.

Post by Baeltheswed » 31 Aug 2016, 08:36

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Allow cameras to be available for the upgrades they have in regular SS13.
Analyzer for X-ray vision for the camera
Plasma sheet for EMP proof
Proximity sensor for proximity alarm.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Give engineers that little extra spice for their FOB.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
Pretty self explanatory IMO, you'd apply the analyzer for a neat extra little boost, perhaps the proximity alarm feature would allow an overwatch officer to keep a closer eye on an otherwise unguarded vantage point.

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

+1. They are available for upgrades, but the upgrades are disabled. Its unknown if this is a bug or if its by choice scince there are issues with proximity items in the game. Personally, i am on the fence on camera upgrades. On one hand, i think engineers who spend the time and effort to upgrade and set up a camera network should be rewarded. On the other hand there is a chance for balance issues.

in case people forgot: x-ray vision allows cameras to see through walls but does not allow them dark vision i believe
EMP protection means cameras work despite EMPs, which i dont think is a very common thing in CM
Proximity alarms, i cant remember how those work again.

Maybe raising the overall cost in time or resources to upgrade the cameras and it should be fine.
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?!
