Scientist

The Scientist is a civilian who is employed in the R&D structures of the various factions.

These brainy men and women perform a variety of experiments and investigations to improve the effectiveness of their armies in the field and to make new unit options available. Should a research structure be destroyed, they may make it out alive.

The Scientist is fitted with far-reaching sensors and can reveal cloaked enemy units. Uniquely, his sensor range exceeds his actual sight range, which means that nearby units, which see parts of the map that he himself cannot see, have their sight range augmented by his sensor effect too.

Equipment
Scientists are usually unarmed in the conventional sense of the word, but can often be found carrying a variety of gadgets that could be prone to producing devastating results if handled with ill intent or just plain bad luck. On inside maps, they will commonly wear lab coats, which provide no special forms of resistance, while outside, they will commonly wear hazmat suits.

Effects

 * Scientists in hazmat suits (which appear in some missions) are immune to radiation and poison gas. However, their protective suits can be ruptured by other means of delivering poison substances (such as dartguns) and they are not themselves immune to poison.
