Helios And It's Investigator Ability.

One suggestion: Make it stop scanning the same stuff over and over when we have enough scans of the thing for our codex. :) I have plenty of scans of storage containers, thanks. :)

Helios knows what's good for you, don't make it throw its shoe at you.

[CedarDpg]

Haha. :) It just needs a processor upgrade. :)

[GRNT]

Doesn't Helios not scan things that you have already fully scanned?

[CedarDpg]

Helios scans whatever it wants to. No matter how many times it's scanned it before.

 

It's like, "Yeah, I know there's a mob you'd like me to scan attacking you right now, and it'd be a good time to do it before it's dead...but...but...that storage container 200 meters across the map is lookin' mighteh GOOOOD."

Helios scans things that your codex indicates as being not fully scanned.

 

However,

 

1.) The codex usually doesn't update until the end of the mission

 

2.) The codex may not successfully initialize

 

3.) Not all scannable objects HAVE codex entries, and so will be scanned every time Helios sees them

 

 

 

All areas that could use some improvement.

[CedarDpg]

In regards to the storage containers...

1) Condition fulfilled.

2) Unknown.

3) Condition fulfilled.

 

So it's either #2, or just something else is screwed up.

Okay, new development! I think Helios got brain-damaged from dying too many times. :( I wished it'd stop scanning storage containers over and over, and it has! But it's also stopped scanning almost everything else too. Standing next to threshcones for a long time; Helios: zzzz. Standing near unscanned or uncompleted enemies; Helios: zzzz. 

 

Random times; Helios: zzz*snortSNORT* Did you say something? *scan* I'm gonna go back to sleep for the rest of the mission. zzzz... ;)
