<div class="IPBDescription">some observations</div> <b>Defense chamber:</b>
Unit function: Gives HP to units. Hive also does this.
Structure function: Gives HP to structures. Hive also does this.
Misc: Multiple DCs can provide HP to a single unit/structure.

<b>Movement chamber:</b>
Unit function: Gives energy to units.
Structure function: Provides a portal to farthest hive. Not truly a "structure function" but close enough.
Misc: Multiple MCs can provide energy to a single unit.

<b>Sensory chamber:</b>
Unit function: Cloaks units.
Structure function: Cloaks structures, including itself.
Misc: Multiple SCs do NOT make a single unit "more cloaked." However, they can be placed more freely around the map to ensure that more places are cloaked.

Correct?

    Also note, aliens can move while in cloakrange of a sensory without getting uncloaked, but attacking uncloaks them.

    I'm wondering about the level of cloaking granted by Sensory chambers.

    Still 90%? Or is this full on cloaking like 1.0 - 1.03?

    what if a gorge built like the max number of sensory in a like big room and it cloaks everything.

    Like max number of oc and dc too.

    Just like in jurrasic park2 and the raptors are getting the humans in the grass cause the humans cant see them.

    I asked about that 90% in another thread and the answer was it's 100% from the chambers but the actual upgrade is still 90-95%

    change log stats chambers heal them self now as well although i take it, its not very fast compared to using dcs.

    dcs will be more of a healing player thing than structure now.

    The sensory chamber is cloaked right? So in theory, at 95% cloaking ability, since sensory chambers parasite marines that touch it, you could put a few right on the sides of a hallway. So they wouldn't see, but they'd get parasited brushing past it. Might be a cool new technique.

    if they dont cloak themselves, two should get each other, right?

    Im getting suspicios that sensory maybe OVER powered lol. Since they dont need massing to be effective like Dc you could place em everywhere.

    Id politely suggest that perhaps 14 res each is too low?

    This may sound overpowered but the old sensory used to provide cloaking and two other abilities that are just useless. Also, if you can't build more than one kind of chamber per hive, sensory means no defence or movement.

    Putting an observatory in your outposts will not allow aliens to cloak even with a SC near, right?
    Also, is the range of the obs the same, bigger(hopefully) or smaller?

    does taht mean u can acutally only <b>build</b> one chamber per hive?
    or you can just have the effect of only one being build per hive(hive1=level1, but as many chambers as u want)

    im pretty sure the latter is correct but just makin sure

    Sensory Chambers cost 20 resources. As do all of them.

    They cloack themselves,

    You can build one chamber type per hive (as many of the same) Just as in 1.04.
