Formed by mating a construction drone torso to a heavy tracked chassis, the Servitor Drone is a common feature in most CABAL bases. Its ability to repair CABAL's extensive fleet of vehicular drones makes it invaluable for the AI to continue its operations, and its advanced sensor suite makes it the ideal sentry for detecting cloaked units around sensitive installations. They are often seen guarding CABAL's Advanced Refineries too, where they will maintain the integrity of the fragile Scarab Drone swarms upon which CABAL relies for its resource collection.

Due to its heavy chassis, it is also far more durable than the comparable Nod Mobile Repair Vehicle, which allows it to better keep up with CABAL attack forces as they advance across the Tiberian landscape.

I'm curious how you made the "detect stealth" work.
Can it deploy into an MSA or just detect directly adjacent cloaked units via Sensors=yes?

Or maybe some fancy workaround using a constant area effect weapon dealing extremely small damage to uncloak objects?

Just Sensors=yes, actually. Wasn't really considering other ways of doing it...? Wanted more of a passive background thing.

The problem is, that the tiny Sensor range and the unit not being massively spammed to close the sensor gaps, makes the cloak detection pretty much negligible.

I won't pretend that it is an ideal solution, no #Tongue

More of a half-second warning before an STNK pops into view amidst your Scarab harvester swarms...!

That being said, you have actually given me an idea now, in terms of giving it a deploy-for-sensors option. Will look into that.
