Scanner Sweeps

I think the new scanner sweep method is great. The energy requirement puts a damper on a lot of spamming, and requires that comm's either build more obs's, or use them more intelligently. However, after commanding, I have one complaint (oh no! flame him! no please listen first...)

If you build more than one obs, it's difficult, and can take too long, to find the one you need to scan an area. Do you think commanders could get some sort of shortcut in their build menu to either bypass the need to goto the building itself, or to rotate through observatory positions in the map?

    Make the obs "squad 4" or "squad 5". Makes it dead easy to use.

    Also, can we lower the energy cost of a scanner sweep?

    Yes it would be nice if there was some sort of a shortcut to scanner sweep.

    I will try that squad thing, sounds good, but a shortcut would be nice. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I keep both squad 4 and 5 as observatories. Sometimes the whole lot if I know aliens have gone sensory first. I then royally screw the aliens cloaking and watch how upset they get MUAHAHAHAHHAA./
