Suggestion for The Skull Merchants power.

I feel like her power is pretty good, but I feel like it's true potential is "popping" it on top of Survivors. This is harder to do when a giant visible field is present upon deploying them. While yes, it makes it function better in chase, it hinders the ability to secretly place them. I propose an add-on that deploys the drones in scout mode. I also propose, lowering the visibility of the scan lines, so they are less detectable unless one is actively looking for them.

Example scenario. Ormond, the killer shack is in the corner. Deploy a drone behind the wall on the back side. A survivor enters the shack to work on a Gen. They are unaware that the drone is scanning on the other side of the wall. I get the ability to activate the drone, and so as I approach the shack, I activate the drone, "popping" the field onto them.

Scenario two. I deploy the drone into the center of a maze tile adjacent to a Gen. Upon approaching the Gen, the survivor flees away to the maze tile, where they round a corner and come face to face with the drone unexpectedly, activating it. This can be harder to do than say because of the huge scan lines being broadcast out of the drone.

I also believe that the 2% haste bonus given by the pure add-on should probably be added to her power base kit, making playing around the drones quite a bit more dangerous than the typical killer.

I feel like maybe adding one more drone could help her out some more. One for each of the four corners, and one for the center, considering some maps can be so large.
