# TACTICAL INFORMATION
# CONFIGURATION
By default, Scouting Protocol:
All of this, as well as ability range and radius can be configured in "Config\XComScoutingProtocol.ini".
For example, you can make Scouting Protocol a free action, but give it a 1-2 turn cooldown. Or give yourself only a couple of charges per mission.
Giving Scouting Protocol a huge reveal radius does not really work, due to cover blocking vision.
# COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with Long War 2. Because Scouting Protocol is simply an ability attached to GREMLINs,
it should be compatible with anything that does not replace default GREMLIN names.

# TACTICAL INFORMATION
- Scouting Protocol is simply an additional ability, given to any soldier with a GREMLIN equipped.
- Scouting Protocol does not break concealment or alert enemies in any other way.
- Unlike Scanning Protocol, Scouting Protocol does not reveal hidden Faceless or burrowed Chryssalids.
- The purpose of Scouting Protocol is to provide safe scouting during the early game, without having to rely on Concealment.
- Similar to XCOM operatives, GREMLIN's vision will no go through hard cover.
- Normally, Scouting Protocol locks your camera to the GREMLIN, but if there other XCOM operatives with any actions left, you can break the camera free by pressing TAB right after activating Scouting Protocol. This should make it a bit more convenient.
# CONFIGURATION

- Costs one action.
- Has no cooldown.
- Has infinite charges.
- Does not end turn.
