I would suggest that this is actually has a chance of being inaccurate. How much by should vary according to the scout roll. So in an ambush situation the number/type of vehicles should be quite a bit out. Also opens up the possibility of a new scout spec that would help with the accuracy of the report.

FWIW - I was in the group scout when Nine suggested this and there was overall agreement.

Instead, maybe just make it scout based... a 100+ or so scout in a musclecar would get the info we have now...

A 20 would get "5x light (Muscle/Sedan), 4x, medium (Apache, Landrunner, 1x Heavy (Lorry/Trashtruck)

Makes sense Nine i think a roll should be required with any skill of scout as well, even the best of us get things wrong. Mantis 000195

Before this gets added, the "who is scouting for the squad" should be added, just like the mech is currently setup. (Gro, is this one buried in the 100's upon 100's of mantis jobs in the que?) :)

Even better, just remove what is shown to be spawning so the player does not know if there are good chassis spawning before accepting a truce or not. If the player can't "see" what is spawning before him on the map, he should not magically know what is there behind every rock, hill or building, makes no sense.

I was in the scout where this was brought up as well. I do agree. I also agree with Foul....should say "x (number) vehicles are approaching, driving away, ambushing" If we can't get an actual "fog of war" (which would be more realistic and scary) then not knowing till they showed would be cool.

How about simply redoing the whole thing and not purposely make it un-realistic to handicap ourselves against the NPC to give them a few extra turns. The game has matured enough that this is no longer really needed.


1- When you spawn you see what you are facing.

2- The amount of space in the circle you have for placement is based on a scout roll. Bad scout roll, minimal space to setup as you were caught by surprise. Good scout roll, you saw it coming and have extra space to plan your attack/defense/escape. Your scout skill would add (x) bonus to the roll based on current level of skill.

Simple as that, none of this I can't see anyone foolishness. We all know the circle is used for tactical purposes to better prepare ourselves for the combat even when we are "blind" to the NPCs location. Why continue with this "Blindness" code when all it does is give the AI a few extra turns to come at you if you don't place properly.
