Electromagnetic sensor: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

'''Electromagnetic sensor''' allows the player to detect [[robotic|robotic]] creatures within an omni-directional radius of 9 tiles regardless of light level or [[Properties#Occluding|occluding]] objects. Similarly to {{favilink|Heightened Hearing |Heightened Hearing}}, the implant only provides ~~a grey~~ outline of nearby robots, preventing the usage of [[looking|look]] for additional information. The Implant is not guaranteed to immediately identify entities, with some detected [[robots|robots]] initially being represented by the {{qud char|&K|?}} tile, which may take multiple turns to be fully identified.

==Advantages & Disadvantages==

===Advantages===

*Only costs 1 license point and can be installed into any cybernetic slot, allowing a high degree of flexibility.

*Relatively easy to find or purchase.

*Can help prevent early game ambushes from hidden turrets.

*Immune to EMP blasts.

===Disadvantages===

*Disrupts Auto-Explore and cannot be deactivated without uninstalling.

*Takes up a cybernetics slot which could be replaced with the similarly functioning but broadly more useful {{Favilink|Penetrating Radar}}

==Tips==

*Entities detected by the implant can be manually fired upon, this works with {{favilink|phase-adaptive scope}}, allowing the user to attack visible enemies through walls.

* Unlike Penetrating Radar, this implant is capable of detecting entities through {{favilink|forcefield|plural}}, letting the user use Phase-Adaptive Scope to target {{favilink|chrome pyramid|plural}} from a safe distance through walls.
