    Add to the engineer's list of buildable things: mobile camera. You would place it on some surface like the other buildings, but it would be wheeled. It would take time to build (100%-150% of the engineer's build tool "ammo"), but it would be quite useful. The engineer could drive it around, and it would be really fast. It should be slightly bigger than a dog. It should also be weak enough to be destroyed by about 3 grenades.

    If you could make the scout Enchanced Senses skill not only show where the enemy is to the scout but the rest of the team also, it would make the scout into a mobile camera.

    This would be like giving the scout wall hack wherever he is giving him a massive advantage in fire fights no matter where he is, if this is done, it should spot where enemies are every 15 seconds and not almost instantly

    Umm.. the Enchanced Senses skill is already in the game, but it only shows the enemy to the scout right now.

    thaile purposes a change to the skill, not a new skill.

    i agree with him, but make it only show on the minimap like the cams used to do.

    I meant that you could see the view from the camera's perspective. It would be cool to spy this way.

    Well I like the new way the camera works better, how about we limit it so that only teammates within a certain distance from the scout gets the info. This way it's like he's pointing the enemy out to the teammates.

    I think this will also prompt more team play since currently most scouts take the hide skill and go out solo, with this scout can squad up with some other players and go hunting.

    Ohhh.. I get what you're saying now. What you want is something like an RC car with a camera on top. You really should have explained it better, in empires the camera is used to spot enemy, so mobile camera = camera to spot enemy that can be moved.:D

    Yeah, the engineer/scout/whoever would then build it, would actually look through the camera he/she is controlling.

    I wouldn't mind if the scout's enhanced senses "broadcasted" enemy positions to nearby friendlies.
