If a marine is in line of sight (doesnt shoot anything) of an alien structure & the alien structure appears on the minimap... the arcs starts shooting (even without a scan).
Is this intended ?
What i tried:
1. Build Robotics
2. Build Armory -> to get ARC Robotics (but NO observatory)
3. got in range of minimap-visibility on the alien structure (green circle)
4. moved back without losing line of sight to the alien structure
btw: i didnt shoot the harvester & i had no observatory.

yup
I spy with my little eye, something orange:
- The Harvester?
- No
- The Hive?
- No...
- K, the Shell?
- YES!
- KABOOM!
i don't know if the obs can pierce and ink, but ink does have cooldown, so in that sense, yes, it hard counters the ink which kinda counters the scan. in terms of arcing.
I'm confused why this would confuse anybody :P
obs might be more cost effective sometimes. two scans is six, and recycled is at most five. arcing out nano usually only requires a couple of arcs, which would require somethomg like 4 scans. so just plop down an obs and recycle it.
