Wanted : A cheap structure similar to a sentry turret, but unarmed and with minimal HP. It should, however, greatly extend visibility over the few squares that an unaided templar can see. One way to do this would be to allow it to throw out sensor scans like the scout.
The intent is to allow me to keep an eye on the surroundings of a defensive position, giving me just that tiny bit more warning to get assets in place before an avalanche of Xeno hits. It allows me to do more with less.
To keep it from being overpowered, suggest the number of camera towers be limited per level. If all they do is increase visibility, they might make an upgrade to the tac point.
Also, if they permanently increase visibility (as opposed to allowing you to throw two sensor scans per turn), suggest visibility be limited to a particular aspect , rather than all around visibility.
Suggest they be constructed by engineers just as sentry turrets are, and resupplied by turret perimeter resupply.
Respectfully,
Brian P.

pendell - very cool idea! Perhaps something we would add to a later specialist class within the game. Having one that was mobile would be even cooler I think.

Memorial weekend actually started on Thursday and finished on Saturday for the TB's. Of course they worked up until Friday night (working through the weekend is allowed), and only got to have part of Saturday off.

bookworm21 - yes, some sort of moving recon drone. While a camera tower would be pretty cool, the number of levels it would be useful on would be limited by its immobility. So ... a walking camera tower!
