Tier-2 Night Vision Equipment that gives radar coverage
Posted: Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:12 pm
My original thought was that I wanted a piece of equipment that could go in the tank's grid to give it a little bit of vision, so that I could remotely drive the tank outside of my radar range. To make it useful for power armor and spidertrons, it can also increase total vision range (and maybe +1 chunk per quality level, like radar). I think it makes sense as a tier-2 night vision equipment, probably unlocked with utility+space science.
I can see how it might reduce the reward of the spidertron a bit, which would be bad, but I don't think it would be too significant because:
- There's already the janky solution of giving your tank construction bots, power poles, and radars, and extending your radar coverage as you drive.
- Compared to the tank, spidertron mobility is just so much better more convenient.
- If it does take away too much from the spidertron unlock, the tech can always be locked behind Fulgora or Vulcanus.
