Make All Observatories Share Energy

Zelda

I think that this would make it much easier to scan than individually finding EVERY SINGLE observatory that you currently have and scanning. You should just be able to make one observatory "Squad 5", which will give you the energy of ALL your present observatories.

Wait for the suggestions and ideas forum to come back. I think it's a great idea, but regardless, this is definetly the wrong place for it.

Add it to your notepad in your controls on the forums. Re-Post it ASAP once the S&I forums are unlocked.

better yet just put scan in the same menu as medpack and ammo.

Just as E, A and E, S do ammo and medpack, make E, D, put a scan on your cursor, drawing from any available observatory.

Even better: Put a "scan" button in one of the commander menu's (thus also under one of the normal commander hotkeys), I'd say the assist menu would be a good place. This button would take 25 energy from the highest-energy observatory and use it to scan. If there are no observatories with 25+, the button is greyed out/red/whatever. This would allow commanders to not waste one of their squad numbers on an obs, and be more convenient and intuitive in general. There's plenty of room in the menu's too. Only problem is this would probably require a client-side patch. I think. Probably. Would it?

I agree.

You don't even need to put this in S&I cause it's posted there about 3 times I guess.

I find myself using two hotkeys on observatories. :-/ If the marines are heavy on sensory, which they usually are on pubs I find I need two of em readily accessible.
