Sensory Gives Line Of Sight Equivelant

What I mean is, when you look on the minimap, you see any marine structures or players that are in the LoS of your team-mates. What I propose is that Sensory Chambers also do this, but do it either 360 degrees all the time, or something like 90 degress that sweeps around the chamber (like radar).

When you think about it, it makes sense: it is a Sensory chamber.


If you're worried about balance, let the Observatory do this too.

Note: I originally had this in the I&S Forum, and it got good feedback there, so now its here. If I'm not supposed to do this, let me apologize in advance.

    Marines in LoS of other aliens should show on hive sight again. Showing them only on the minimap is the most stupid thing I have ever seen. I don't like the minimap at all. Aliens should have a low range version of the minimap included in their hive sight.

    On topic of sensory chambers. They should show marines in their LoS like scent of fear to all aliens and what I said above marines should show on hive sight if in LoS of other aliens. That way sensory chambers would be kind of a static eye-alien and hive sight would be much more useful.

    Hmm, if this is possible, since it would sound a bit tricky to get sensory chambers to "Look around" and add stuff to hivesight. I think this would be pretty interesting, but this is kind of like the suggestion to make SC's shoot marines with parasites, thus making them show up.

    SCs did used to shoot marines with parasites when they got close. That was their only field function before they were changed to cloak things around them.

    I don't know if they still do this, but I don't think so. The old code for that could easily be put back in. It wasn't a terribly impressive ability (very short range), but thats only fair considering the very impressive field ability SCs already have now (cloaking).
