The idea is to remove the landing pads we have and instead make the shuttles dock in the external airlocks in upper engineering. That way we won’t have to worry about people getting crushed nor will there be these ugly landing pads that don’t make much sense in terms of ship design. I mean something similar was done in prison map for the DS so it should be possible.
if you worry so much about safety we can add barriers that go up like with the asrs elevator.
after that we could have an animation for when ds go down the elevator shaft but that would be a big sprite project.
I would love to re-theme the shuttle docks as either proper shuttle docking ports or as aft/port gun-turrets that can be boarded with.
I was tempted to do a re-theme before the mapping freeze occured
Bonus points if boarding a ship via pod is an actually forced landing that cuts into the hull, then you can split between hostile boarding actions and allied boarding actions.
I agree, currently you exit the shuttle, meet a blank wall, guess what way is the exit, and funnel through a single door into the maints? There is not even a checkpoint like area, its simply bad.
